Writing exercise

I remember I asked a girl out. When the day arrived, it was starting to pour. Suddenly I felt down.
Because I hadn’t seen her for a few months. The weather messed everything up. I had to stay at home, and hoped the sun would turn up. After fifteen minutes, The sun really came out. I was able to pick her up at bus stop and go to a park with her.

When I was walking on the road. Suddenly it was raining. I had to look for a place where I didn’t get wet. But sometimes it is hard to find a suitable place. I just ran around. Finally I ran into a shopping mall, or a small restaurant. I had to buy some stuff like a cup of drink, fried chicken, etc.
It really waste time. When the rain stopped, I went on doing the next thing.
