It's raining

Splashes.

     It did not take long for her to recognize the absence of umbrella.

     Though it only took five more minutes to the destination, she knew she couldn't make it dry. Her bag, full of notes scribbled on paper and new laptop, would definitely be soaked in the heavy rain. I shall remember to check the weather before I come to school, she whispered, regretting her choice of packing the bag light.

     She hesitated, before leaving the building. As she was contemplating if she shall wait for someone to come by, she realized time was running out. People were leaving, and any further delay would both extend her hunger and the line for lunch. Was running an option? She pondered for a moment, soon concluding that there were not enough alternatives for her. Sighing seemed to be the best treat.

     Unwillingly, she slowly covered her head with her clothes, and began to run.

     It almost seemed as if time had stopped around her.

     Drops of rain were visible, surrounding her. It almost seemed as if the girl cast magic around her to make the droplets linger in air longer. Dews reflecting rainbows inside them, created a glittering shell around her. Time seemed to slow down around her.

     Frankly, it reminded him of a scene from a movie, where random people offered the main character their umbrellas. That's nonsense, he thought to himself, she must not be wanting an umbrella, she's too peaceful to say that she's trying to avoid rain.

     It was now only him left without an umbrella. The building was vacant.

Puddles made by the afternoon shower of rain.
