Read the paragraph below to answer the question.

Last night, I was walking on my way home when it suddenly rained. I forgot to bring my umbrella, so I ran to avoid getting completely soaked in the rain. Not seeing where I was going, I fell into a puddle of water. Then a guy helped me stand up. When I looked up, I recognized him. Momentarily, I forgot that I was soaking wet and that I was very cold. He offered to walk me home, and I just nodded. The next day, he and I saw each other at school. At last, we talked like old friends.
