Casey grabbed the ice pack, Sister Harper reached out to him and shrugged. „No need to worry, I will be okay,“ he said, „It's Gabe who has a problem. He has obvious anger management issues, and I am afraid, sooner or later, this will bring him into serious trouble.“

„But it's not okay, what he is doing to you almost every day,“ the nurse from the school's ward answered. „Someone should inform Miss Drake about it.“

Casey protested. „Everything in the school is turning around football. When the Hornets win the school's championship this year, it will add significantly to Herrington High's reputation. I am sure this is all Miss Drake is interested in at the moment.“

Sighing, Sister Harper shook his head. „That's so wrong. You are such a smart, nice boy, Casey, and you deserve better than getting bullied all the time because of this.“

„Thank you.“ Casey put the ice pack down and smiled. „But not everything here is bad.“ And he thought about the last chemistry lesson and sharing the lab table with Zeke Tyler. And about Mr. Brown, his art teacher, who had promised him this morning to write a letter of recommendation for him, when he wanted to apply to some of the big art schools in New York and San Francisco. „It's just the usual highschool madness. I will survive.“

Title: When The Rain Brings The Silence
Characters: Mister Smith
Prompt: rainy day / 7 days, 7 stories
Words: 122

Smith closed his eyes, turning his face towards the rain falling from the sky. No one else was around; everyone seemed to hide inside the Mountain from the stormy weather.

He enjoyed moments like this: the silence, with only some birds chirping in the trees, the wind blowing through the leaves, and raindrops falling in tiny puddles. Alone. Even God's voice in his head kept quiet.

The rain increased even more, and not even his old coat would protect him for long. Soon enough, he would be wet to the bones. He continued to stand motionless. It had been a long time since he had felt so free and peaceful, and he wanted to savor the feeling for as long as possible.
