// Rain ... I hate him. It always has to rain when I plan something important! //
"Shit! If I don't have an umbrella with me, it's raining! Damn it! And I have to go to Hilary and pick up my CD." // If a miracle doesn't happen I'll come home totally wet today //

The girl with the green eyes had taken shelter from the rain under a large archway and was looking annoyed at the clouds. Then she heard a familiar voice
“Hey Leena what are you doing here?” She averted her gaze from the clouds and now looked into two happy, shining eyes. Sinking into you, she thought: // He looks damn cool. And he has a way about him that always makes me happy, he's never been in a bad mood, that's really enviable. //

"Hey! I asked what you were doing here! Weren't you going to see Hilary today?" asked the boy, slightly puzzled.
"Maaaax ... I ... uh ... yes I wanted to, but I don't have an umbrella and I didn't want to get wet." said Leena, her face blushed slightly.
Max thought for a moment and then said: "Come under my umbrella Leena, I'll take you there!" He held out his arm to her and Leena hooked herself under him. Together they walked to her friend's house.
"Max, where are you actually going?" Leena asked curiously, looking at him.
"I want to see Kenny. My bike is still with him!" he replied with a grin on his face and added: "Should I pick you up and drive you home?"
As he spoke, the blush rose in his cheeks and he thought: // I hope she doesn't see how red I am! //
"And you would really take me with you? Aren't I too heavy?" it came from Leena. "Of course I would take you with me. And if I can take Tyson on the bike, it would be you." he replied.
Leena smiled all over her face and immediately said yes // I was lucky again. He really is a real knight in need. Since the rain still seems to have its good //They said goodbye first and Max ran to Kenny to get his bike while Leena rang Hilary's doorbell.

"DING, DONG" heard Hilary the door and immediately ran to open it. "Oh, Leena, how are you? Come on in, would you like some tea?" she greeted her friend cheerfully. "No thanks. I'm fine. I just wanted to pick up my CD, how did you like it?"
Hilary eyed her friend. // I thought she hates rain? Otherwise she's always in a bad mood in such weather.
To keep her friend under suspicion, she made a serious face, but then she burst out: "Those were the best songs I have ever heard! You have a fantastic voice. You should really go on tour. Me I'll be your manager then and together we make millions. Leena looked at Hilary in shock but then the girls burst out laughing.
"Did you write the songs yourself?" Leena was asked, but she just shook her head and said, "Some are from my brother and the rest is just like singing karaoke or playing the piano."
"Sounds great anyway."

With Max and Kenny:

"Kenny, Keeeenyyyyyyyy ..... Are you there?" shouted Max loudly. "Yes, I'm in the back of the yard." it came back.
He went through a gate and saw his friend sitting on a bench with a laptop on his lap.
"Hey boss, I wanted to pick up my bike." said the blond boy.
"Oh yes. It's there in the shed. But first take a look at the new statistics of the Blitzkrieg Boys! They have been ..." "No time Kenny! I want to pick up Leena! Bye Kenny, see you tomorrow at school!" Kenny was interrupted.
"And he's gone. As if stung by a bee. Have I missed something?" he now turned to his laptop and a woman's voice answered him: "That's the way it is with love"


"Leena?" one heard a boy's voice calling. "Oh, there it is! Bye Hilary, see you tomorrow for training." said Leena and left her friend puzzled.// Look at you! It seems to have sparked a lot. And I thought he was sick. // smiled the one left behind and closed the front door.

"Great! It stopped raining!" she greeted him.
Max laughed at her and answered her with: "Yes it did. We should better use this rain break and hurry before it starts again. Come on!"
Leena did as she advised and got on.
Carefully he drove off and she cuddled up lightly. // He is so helpful and always radiates something warm. Somehow I always feel safe and warm with him. // and at the thought Leena started to smile.
//She smiles! How beautiful it looks. // and Max also had to smile in embarrassment.

The journey flew by and both were amazed when they suddenly came to a stop in front of Leena's house. "Oh, are we already there?" Leena said with a sad look towards the door and Max only answered with a sad nod of the head and let out a sigh.
// Why did I have to drive so fast! From my point of view, the trip could have taken forever! I don't want her to go now ... //
Leena's thoughts were racing. // Only live further away ... only tonight. I want to stay with him ... But what if he sees it differently? When he's annoyed because he had to drive me all the way. What should I do? Why do I even think about it so much? Because I want him to like me Onii-chan once said, 'If you want to know how you feel, you just have to be brave for a moment to find out! 'Just what does that mean ... did he mean maybe ... //
"Thank you for the take away." she said, gathered up all her courage and kissed Max on the cheek before she disappeared behind her front door.
//Was...was...d...that a K ... kiss? She kissed me! Me! // Max was beaming now and his heart was beating like crazy. Overflowing with happiness, he made his way home.
