I brushed my fingers through my scalp, feeling the rain water ladened thick within my clothing, sending chills throughout my skin.

The comment had my dropping the packet of dorayaki, the plastic letting out it's spherical crunch as it hit the polished concrete floor. The sound had the group of three boys halt their conversation.
