I sat at the very back of the classroom. The loud sound of rain hitting the window distracted me from class. Instead of paying attention, I watched the rain all the time.

I was shocked. Someone was poking my shoulder. "What are you looking at?" I heard a voice ask. I looked next to me. It was Naomi, she was looking at me questioningly. "Oh, uhm. Nothing. I'm just not quite in it with my thoughts." she nodded as if she understood what I meant. When the lesson was over, Naomi waited. I stashed my things in my backpack and stared at her.

"Uhm, would you like to have lunch together?" she finally asked. The question slowly dawned on me. "Lunch. Us together." she clarified again, pointing her finger at herself. "Oh. Yes, of course." I nodded approvingly and together we walked out of the classroom.

I don't know where she normally ate her lunch at, so I just followed her, as if I were someone who didn't know my way around here.

She walked out. When she noticed that I was looking at her questioningly, she said "Sitting on the grass is always nice, after all it's done with raining now." I looked at the grass, you saw how the water drops shone. "Won't you get wet then?" I asked. But when she looked at me I felt myself blush. I realized how wrong the question sounded and quickly corrected my sentence "I mean, aren't your jeans going to get wet from the grass?"

I saw how she couldn't contain her laughter anymore. I stood there and watched. "Oh boy, who cares! It'll all dry up." She patted my shoulder with her hand and searched after a good place in the grass. When she had found a good spot, she plopped down on the grass.

I stood still, causing her to pat a place next to her with her hand. "Sit down." she ordered me. I sat down and took my lunch from my backpack. I watched her happily eat her food. When she realized I was staring, she stopped eating and started looking at me.

Her face came closer. A shock ran through my whole body and I turned my head. "Is everything alright?" she asked suddenly. Her face had turned into a worried one. "Oh. Uhm. Sure, everything is uhm, all right. I'm just not quite in it with my thoughts." She nodded, but she still looked concerned, as if she knew I was lying. We ate in silence, without even looking at each other.
