On a Rainy Day

It was a rainy day in February, Quinifa wined the window of her car down and stuck her hand out. It had stopped raining.

"It has" she whispered, although she'd like to enter the rain but she was already late for school.

She brought out a mirror and brush from her bag and brushed her Blondie hair, she stared at her image reflected on the mirror.

Her blue eyes shone while her full pink lips quivered as she remembered when her mother used to brush her hair when preparing she and Anel for school.

She wiped the tear on her cheeks and put away the mirror and brush, kick started her car and drove roughly out of the garage to school.

The noise in grade 12 Diamond died down as "Icy" as many people called Quin entered into the class.

She ignored their usual stares and walked straight to sit beside Mia Waters, her best friend.

"Quinnnnn you are a bit late today" Mia hugged Quin tight.

Quin replied with "Mm"

"I see you don't wanna talk now" Mia released Quin from her "signature bear hug".

The teacher entered Into the class and everyone stood up to greet.

Quinifa watched as everyone except her, Mia and other students troop out of the class.

" Quin let's go almost everyone has left school" Mia said tugging her arms with Quin's.

Allowing student leave the class before she leave,has always been Quin's habit.

"Mm" she replied picking up her bag pack. She walked out of the class without waiting for Mia.

Mia ran behind her "Quin wait up, you should stop this habit of always leaving me behind" complained Mia.

"And you should stop being too slow in walking" Quinifa snapped.

Quin had said something tangible for the first time today.

She pressed the button on her car key, the car beeped.

"You're dropping me off today, my car is at the mechanic's" Mia said ignoring Quin's snap.

"Okay' Quin shrugged and hopped into the car.

"Bye Quin" Mia said as Quin pulled up in front of her house.

"Bye see ya tomorrow' Quin replied softly.
