CH 7.5

I’m waiting for the train on the platform.

It is raining today.

Everyone has an umbrella in their hand.

Each umbrella has its own personality.  

I don't really hate the rain as it changes the atmosphere of the city and I love the moist atmosphere that it creates.

The train is now coming into the platform.

The windows are fogged up due to the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the train.

It is raining and cold outside, but inside the train it’s warm because of the people riding.

I boarded the train.

I always try to stay on the opposite side of the train, near the window.

That is my fixed position.

But today, there was a passenger in my place.

It was Kato.

He was staring out the window and I ran to him without thinking.

“Hey, heeeeey”

I'm excited about this sudden encounter.

“Why are you here? Is your bicycle broken?" I asked him that without greeting him first.

“Oh, no, I just take the train when it’s raining."

“I see!"

I got excited by learning new things about Kato.

"Oh, good morning!

"Good morning."

We both laughed at the late greeting.

We are walking together down a straight road to school.

“So, do you always take the train when it's raining?”
