It's not clear enough in this picture, but I saw a rainbow on my way to school this morning. 

Rainbow...What I remember about rainbow...

When I was in junior high, around summer if I remember correctly, our baseball team was about to have an important baseball game. 

My teammates and I were walking to the station and it suddnely started raining. 

I was thinking...well...today's game would possibly be canceled...

But, we still had to wait for the junior high baseball league of our prefecture to decide and wait for our manager to call us once he got noticed by the baseball league.

When we were heading to the baseball stadium, my mobile rang. 

Our manager told me that today's game would be conducted as plannned. 

I was a bit surprised at the fact that the game would be conducted as planned even thought it was raining like hell...

We arrived at the stadium and then we started warming up for the game. 

Heavy rain, humidity, 30℃hot...

The game??

Well, we lost. 

16-0.

We could only blame ourselves...because before the game started, only thing we thought in our mind was...Please!!Cancel the game immediately...so we can go home!!Please...

We were not prepared for the game yet...and we were so immature. 

An amature baseball game and immature junior high players...

I was so sorry for our teammates that I didn't cheer them up before the game. I was such a bad captain...

I was so down..on our way to the station after the game. 

Actually, it was our last game and we were going to go to different high schools...we would be separated in 10 months or so...and it was our last game that we could play as a team. 

I was so down and depressed...

On our way to the station, I heard someone calling my name. It was our vice captain's voice and he asked me to join the after-our-last-game-party. 

I looked at his eyes for seconds and nodded my head shouting YES!! 

And...I saw a rainbow on the sky.
