Sin blinked a few times to clear her vision of the rain. A figure appeared before her and leaned down to the ground to retrieve her books. She ran a hand through her hair before realizing it was muddy. Oh well, the rest of her was already dirty, so why not add her brown hair to the list? Soon, the figure appeared before her and reached out a hand.

"Are you okay?" a deep voice said. That may have been the worst question Sin had heard all day. He asked if she was okay. Did she look okay? She'd just slipped and fell into a muddy road, so how in the world would she be okay? Sin digressed. She wasnt one to be ungrateful for other people's help, considering it was rarely given tk her. Gratefully, Sin reached for the boy's hand and pulled on it so she could stand up. Shaking out her brown locks for a moment, she looked at her front side. Her clothes were completely covered in mud. It was going to take forever and a day to wash all of the grime out. Deep brown eyes travelled back up and settled on the boy's face. Being an observant one, she asessed him, as she did most people.

He had curly blonde bair neatly set atop his square head. The green eyes were set on Sin's face with a worried expression. He must be wondering what was going through her head. Sin cleared her throat before answering.

"Um, y-yes, Im fine. Th-Thank you..." Sin didnt know his name. "W-What is your name?" A shiver ran through her body from the low temperature.

The boy frowned as soon as he saw Sin shiver. It was freezing anyway, but with the added rain, her paper thin jacket was of no protection whatsoever. Suddenly, the rain picked up, and his words were barely audible over the roar. Sin squinted her dark brown eyes and looked at the ground to keep the falling water out of them.

"I'm Colan Raftor. We should get out of the rain, oh... and here are your books" As the boy spoke, he quickly took off his jacket and handed it to Sin. She could barely see the kind gesture for her eyes were pointed at the ground. She thankfully grabbed it and slipped it over her already soaked one.

"Th-Thank you," she murmured. Sin grabbed her books when he handed them over. Oh no. They were soaked, the words on the pages probably smeared and not even legible. She was devastated. Her family couldnt afford many nice things, and these books were some of her most prized possesions. She sadly sighed. Then she remembered the boy's words. They really should. Without realizing she was still holding his hand, Sin turned around and jogged towards an awning under an abandoned building. She plopped down on the ground and began ringing out her brown locks without thinking about her now ruined books.

Her response got a chuckle out of him. She wondered why. It wasnt a funny statement. Maybe this situation was just as awkward and foreign to Colan as it was to Sin. That wouldn't suprise her. The boy had been keeping his distance from her which was fine with Sin. She wasn't really used to physical contact or closeness, so the less, the better. 

"Oh, that's probably why I've never seen you. Actually, I rarely even go anywhere... that could be a good reason." Why does he never go anywhere? Sin wondered. Most guys her age were always off on some stunt. The ignorance she had ro deal with on a daily basis was ridculous, and sometimes unbearable. It was amazing to Sin how so much ignorance could be packed into such a small group of people. Brown eyes found his face again. She hadnt even realized that she had been staring at the ground. He started laughing again, but this time quickly cleared his throat to play it off. Nice save.

Suddenly, he was standing right in front of Sin, his hand reaching into her wavy brown locks and pulling something from them. A leaf?  "It must have gotten in your hair when you fell." he said, his tone filled with amusement. A "deer in the headlights" look had overcome Sin. He had gotten so close to her. When his hand reached past her face, her shoulders tensed, knowing physical contact was coming. Sin wasnt used to physical contact. Nobody had really touched her since... nevermind. At this point, her body was still tense and slowly relaxing. In her mind, she tried to form an intelligent sentence over and over again, but failed miserably each time. There was only one thing she could come up with. 

"Oh." It was only a single word, but it was the only thing that she could say. A nervous laugh slipped through her thin lips. Sin pulled her knees closer to her chest and wrapped her arms around her scrawny legs. Quickly turning he head to the right, her hair went out of her face. It was very unruly, but she couldnt bear to cut it. She could feel a few raindrops falling on he head, as the once pouring rain slowed down to a light and steady pace. Sighing, she finally formed an acceptable sentence worthy of her intelligence. It probably wasnt the smartest thing she ever said, but it would have to do. 

"W-whats wrong? You seem...nervous." So did she, but that was beside the point.

"Honestly... I don't really talk a lot" he says, his voice barely louder than a murmer. "I, um, just find it much different to be having a conversation with someone... especially a girl" Colan cringes. Especially a girl? This guy must not get out much. He sounds like Sin, a loner. Always staying at home, not interacting with people. "You probably think I'm a total loser now" He sighs, laughing a nervous laugh. Well, not a total loser. Sin thought he was the farthest thing from it. To actually talk to her takes some form of courage. To keep talking takes some form of stupidity. 

"Well, since you asked me... why are you so nervous?" he asks, raising one eyebrow. Nervous? Sin was nervous? Of course she was. She doesnt talk to anyone, let alone guys. No, lets just stick to the fact that she doesnt talk to people period. "I dont really talk to people either... They all think Im weird." Sin lifts her hand to scratch the back of her head, then wraps it back around of her leg. "I-I mean, Im not weird, but... issues."
