Anger

 I felt so angry and misunderstood. However, I must admit I was rude and abrupt, but I didn't want to listen to a long explanation when I knew the answer and whatever they said wasn't going to change it.

Let me tell you what happened.

My friend showed me her passport. "I have the visa already!"

I looked at it, but it was a sticker on the outside with a barcode.

"No, that isn't the visa. That was for the passport office so they didn't lose your passport."

I showed her a real visa inside the passport. 

"No," she said. "There was an email before about it..."

"No! It isn't the visa," I said. "I don't want to see the email. I know visas go inside."

"You didn't listen!"

"Sorry. But I know it isn't the visa." I walked away. My friend was very angry and slammed the door. 

We didn't talk for a while, but I can hear her singing now. So, maybe we can talk about it later. 

Rain

 The rain falls. 

It stops. 

It falls.

I walk in the rain to the cafe. I order a coffee. Then I sit and wait. My bags are on the chair next to me. My clothes and shoes are wet, but I'm happy. 

My friend sits down in the chair opposite me. We talk and laugh. We have some cake. I want some more cake, but I say no.

It's time to go home. I pick up my bags and I hug my friend. We say goodbye.

I walk back through the rain. 

It stops. 

It falls.

I catch the train, then I am home.
