From where he was, he saw Wang Chen open the door, looked around and when he saw no one he signalled for the other two.

They ran away.

Zhaolin tried to keep his eyes wide open. He came out of his hiding place, and went to go check out the basketball room.

As he opened the door, his head banged with pain. "Ah," he cried out then dropped to his knees and blacked out.

Zhaolin jumped up from the bed. He was sweating and magically it was raining. The heavens were crying their eyes out, it was pouring heavily. 

Looking towards the window, he asked himself wasn't it supposed to be snowing?

He heard the thunder rumbling and for the first time since leaving school, he could withstand the sound. The anger of the heaven.

It always felt like the heaven was mad at him. Whenever it rumbled he got scared, and if he happened to be sleeping while it poured, he would be having nightmares.
