your face reminds me where my heart should be,” he smiled at me. I tightened my grip on the door handle, as he looked away from the road. He asked me, “Do you not trust my driving?”
                  “No, I do. It is just; both of my parents were killed in car accidents.”
                  His face softened, and he grabbed my hand closest to him, “You are safe with me.”
                  Safe , I repeated in my head. To hear his voice say that made me forget the rain ever happened. His presence made it seem as if the world had just left us to stand together forever.
                  “You are usually rude as hell to other people. Why are you nice to me?” I asked questionably.
                  He just ignored the question and put the car in park. He then said, “We are here. Hurry up inside,” he reached his arm back. I felt nervous as he paused, inches from my face. I wanted to kiss him, and then he rose up a closed umbrella between us and grinned.
                  I looked at the umbrella and asked, “Can we share this together?”
                  “No.”
                  “Oh,” I sadly said.
                  He smiled bigger, “You can use it for the day. I wouldn’t want you get your hair and make-up messed up before graduation pictures.”
                  “Thank you, but what about you?” I asked.
                  “I don’t mind the rain.”
                  “Well, thank you, again,” I smiled at him, knowing my face was blushing. So I quickly stepped out of the car before he could notice.
                  I rushed inside the school, and walked fast to the auditorium. I almost tripped on my way up the stairs, trying to put the umbrella in my purse, but caught myself in time. I frantically looked for the rack of spare caps and gowns and found none. I thought to myself, I wonder how many people just didn’t feel like using their own so they used the schools. I highly doubt their twin step sisters hid theirs away.
                  As I continued to search for a spare Olivia approached me, “Where is your cap and gown?”
                  “Holly and Molly,” I plainly answered.
                  “What are you going to do?” she asked.
                  I looked at her all dressed for graduation, and I knew she is set to go five people ahead of me. Principle Hall stepped up beside us and he asked, “Are you guys ready?” Principle looked at me, as if he were directing the question to me.
                  “Yeah, as soon as I find a cap and gown.”
                  He looked at me with a stern face and said, “Find one.”
                  He walked away, and Olivia looked at me, “I noticed you got a ride from Mr. Perfect.”
                  I knew she was referring to Mason, and said, “Yeah, he is really nice.”
                  “Did you ask him about Cumberland?” she asked in almost a whisper.
                  “No, I forgot.”
                  “Anyways, I can help with your cap and gown dilemma.”
                  I shook my head and asked, “How?”
                  She answered with a grin, “When I go across, I will come back up and take mine off and give it to you.”
                  I gave her a big hug and then heard her name get called by the principle. She whispered, “Wish me luck.” I nodded my head as she waved. I watched her accept her diploma and walk off the other way. I turned around to await her arrival and bumped into Mason.
                  “I’m sorry,” I apologized. I reached in my purse and pulled out his umbrella, “Here.”
                  He nodded his head and put his hand on mine, “I told you that you could use it
