It’s raining today… and I’m feeling melancholic.
Why is it that I have this migraine?
It’s not always the case, but on rainy days, my chances of getting a headache increases.
Over-the-counter medication helps to calm the pain, but sometimes it’s so bad that it drags on until the next day.
I hope it will get better…
“Good morning, Takanashi-san.”
“Good morning, Sara-senpai.”
Come to think of it, it has been a while since we started walking to school together, but this was the first time we got caught in the morning rain.
“Today we have Physical Education (PE) class, but it looks like it will be indoors.”
“Our class is also having it today too. It will probably be in the gymnasium.”
While we headed for school as we talked.
……?
I suddenly saw a big truck speeding towards us… I have a bad feeling about this…
I quickly thought about taking evasive action… if I don’t, senpai will…
“Excuse me, Sara-senpai!”
“Eh!?”
With no time to think, I quickly knocked the umbrella Senpai was holding over to the side of the road and held out my own umbrella below to cover Senpai from the rain.
Sure enough, the truck passed over the puddle of water with great force… and made a grand splash…
“… Sara-senpai, are you alright?”
“Y-yes, I-I’m fine, but…”
Senpai who had been in a daze on what transpired suddenly gasped out.
“No, this won’t do! I should be the one asking that!”
Then Senpai took out a towel from her bag.
I’m sure it’s for today’s Physical Education class.
“Sara-senpai, if you use that, you won’t have anything to use after today’s PE.”
“Don’t worry, that’s not important right now!”
Senpai carefully started wiping my hair, but since we’re outdoors and raining… it’s not the best solution at the time.
“Sara-senpai, it’s not doing much, so I’m just gonna run to school. If I go to the infirmary, they might have some towels.”
“… I guess so, that’s a good idea. Once we get to the school, you can relax and dry it off. Then, I’ll run too, so let’s hurry.”
“That’s not necessary Senpai, you should take your time.”
“Do you think I can leave you just like this alone, Takanashi-san?”
Senpai looked a little angry.
“… I’m sorry, let’s hurry up then.”
“Yes.”
After rushing straight to the infirmary, the health teacher came out just in time.
“Oh? What’s wrong, you’re soaking wet.”
“I got splashed by a truck on the way to school…”
“Ah- … I’m sorry. I’d like to attend to you, but I can’t right now.”
“It’s okay, I’ll take care of it.”
Sara-senpai cut the teacher’s words off.
“Ara, Satsukawa-san? You’ll look after him for me?”

“Yes, let me take care of Takanashi-san.”
“He~e, Satsukawa-san will take care of him huh…”
For some reason, she gave us a look of great interest…
“Oops, sorry, if you need a towel, just use the one in the locker. Wipe it off well so you wouldn’t catch a cold. Do you have a change of clothes?”
“Fortunately, we have PE class so I have my jersey.”
“Then change into it. I’m off then. Sorry, Satsukawa-san, take care of him for me.”
“Yes, I will. Please leave him to me.”
After saying that, the teacher hurried off.
Let’s hurry up too. It’s getting a little chilly as expected.
I went inside the infirmary and saw a towel ready.
It was in Sara-senpai’s hands with a towel already prepared for me.
Hmmm… what should I do with this situation?
“Takanashi-san, take off your shirt first before you get a cold. I’ll wipe your hair, and you can wrap your upper body in a towel.”
“What!? No, I can do the rest myself.”
“That’s no good. In the first place, this happened because you covered for me, so I should be the one to do it. Even if you don’t agree, I’ll still do it.”
…She’s just so adamant about it.
I wonder if I should meekly give in… but is it really okay? Taking off my shirt and…
“Or do you not like it that I do this, Takanashi-san?”
Ahhh, that look is not fair!
I’m not going to win anyway, so I guess I better brace myself!
“I’m sorry for the trouble, but I’ll leave you to it.”
“Yes! Then sit on the bed and take off your shirt quickly.”
I did as I was told, sat down and took off my shirt.
Ugh, it seems that my whole body was drenched more than I thought… then I hurriedly put on a towel.
Sara-senpai has already started wiping my hair.
She’s doing it very gently and meticulously.
Ha~a… this is so embarrassing… no that’s not it, this is a blessing. I don’t know how to say it well, but I feel happy. Is it inappropriate to think of such things…?
“Then, I’ll wipe your back. Takanashi-san, please continue wiping your head with this towel.”
I took the towel that Senpai was using and she started to use the towel that I had wrapped around my body.
I was shirtless, but Senpai didn’t seem to mind.
She’s such a serious person, and maybe I’m just overly cognizant.
“I think this will do… Next is to change clothes.”
“I’ll change into a jersey. I brought it with me.”
“Then I’ll go dry off this wet shirt.”
After saying that. I grabbed my shirt and headed towards the locker, so that I could change into my jersey.
Sigh…it’s been a rough morning today… though I’m glad my senior didn’t get soaked.
When I looked at the clock on the wall, I knew we had to leave soon.
“Sara-senpai! It’s getting late! I’m fine now, so you can go. I’m going to the classroom too once I finish changing. Regarding that shirt I’ll…”
“You’re right we’re short on time… I understand. Then I’ll take care of this shirt and bring it to you during my lunch break. For saving me, thank you… Then, I’ll go on ahead.”
“Yes, see you later!”
I also hurried to the classroom.
There was no one in particular other than my homeroom teacher who prodded me on what happened.
