It's Raining, Raining




Yesterday, just as we finished school and stepped outside the class having finally finished the geography exam, it started raining. Now for anyone who was fed up of school and just wanted to smell fresh air, the rain is not fun!
So me, Khaled Shareef, and Yazan (my other friend) decided to walk to the little tiny supermarket near the school thinking that the rain wouldn't last long due to the lovely weather we have been having for two weeks. WE THOUGHT WRONG!!!
Just as we stepped outside the perimeters of school, hail the size of eyeballs came down at us, so we thought of going back into the school and directly to the place where we can take the bus home but, again we though: what's the point? We're going to walk through hail anyways so let's just go to the corner shop and then to the buses.
So we were on our way, walking with eyeball-sized pieces of ice being chucked down at us, soaked to our feet, bags heavy, when something frustrating hap penned.
Qais (our other friend) lives by the school at a maximum of a ten-minute walk from school. But, since he is a dallooo3 and the youngest of his siblings, his parents come to pick him up by car, rain or no rain. So as we were walking to the corner shop, Qais drove by in his parents car. So, naturally, me, Khaled, and Yazan started jumping, shouting, signalling, and doing everything we can to get Qais's attention to drop us off to the supermarket. BUT QAIS PRETENDED NOT TO SEE US.
You see Qais is addicted to his Xbox 360 so i guess he was in a hurry to get home and play with it. What kind of a friend is he?!
In picture 1, you can see Khaled Shareef with his hair messed up after failed attempts of trying to squeeze the water out of it (thank god i was wearing a cap so my hair didn't get wet!).
In picture 2, you can see my attempt at proper photography. The picture is a failure but it was the best i could get of the water running down the road which is sloping down. (Don't laugh if you didn't realize that it was water and after all, the 2 mega pixel camera on my cell phone didn't help at all!)
