Rain poured from the sky as I made my way back to the dorms from my class. I ran through the downpour, hoping over puddles and dashing around other who walked slower than I.
I was drenched to the core, hoping to protect my bag and the precious cargo within. My notebooks, while replaceable, were filled with my fluid handwriting that told story after story or held all my notes that my professors had preached this semester. Those things were not so replaceable.
I ran into the lobby where my room was just down the hall. I set my bag down, brushed the wet hair from my eyes, and inspected the notebooks in the sopping carrier. Everything inside was still dry, thank goodness.
I glanced back outside and the wetness that fell. I smiled and left my bag just inside the door. I took a step outside and listened to it thunder.
I spun slowly, my face lifted to greet the sky. People stared, I could get sick, but I didn't care. I loved the rain: they way it felt on my skin, the way it washed everything away and made things new. The smell, the sound, the sight could even lulled me to sleep at night, such a comfort it was.
I laughed, splashing in puddles I had once dodged an skipped over. I wanted to feel the way I had as a child - free and careless. So what if I looked like a fool or like I was crazy...
Today was a good day to be without an umbrella.

Another one for my 100 Writing Themes Challenge!
I was browsing the list and saw this one and couldn't help but write about the rain. It was easy to write and came naturally, without me having to drag it out (which is big for me since I haven't been able to write like that in a long while... I blame school).
When I first read this theme (and even now, singing it in my head), I couldn't stop thinking of "Under my Umbrella" by Rihanna. Psht, I didn't want to put that song in here... Too easy, to boring. This was so much better!
