Dear Electra,
Today Gwen sprained her knee by attempting to skip in P.E. She was put on a stretcher and rushed to the nurse's office. Regina and most of my class saw the scene when Gwen was being carried to the sick bay and Regina told me immediately at music. This sense of nervousness entered my brain once I knew. I really wanted to visit my best friend so I spent my lunch at the sick bay with her and my other friend. Gwen was sitting on the bed still in her P.E gear. I saw her leg support and her knee looked really swollen. She told me the long story of how her class supported her, the doctor coming in and how embarrassed she felt when she was being carried away on the stretcher.
Flash forward to the end of the school day. I was walking home until Gwen was outside the sick bay, still in her P.E gear. She told me that her dad wasn't going to pick her up until possibly 4:00 so we stood on the lawn where the students get picked up from until her dad came.Even though I got home late today and was growled at, it was definitely worth staying with her until she actually left because I felt like I helped someone important today.
*The next day (Thursday)
Gwen came to school today even though she was staggering like a pirate. At interval she tripped on a stick and lost balance but gained pain. Where we were at the end of the field was far away from the nurse's office, so she had to hold onto my bag and we both staggered all the way to the student reception. At lunch I visited the nurse's office and asked where Gwen was. The nurse told me that she was already sent back to class. As I exited the student reception I saw and ran to her. Gwen told me how she was given medicine for her knee and felt better right away. She also mentioned that she was going to see a physician soon.
*The next day (Friday)
My best friend wasn't staggering much as she used to and was feeling much better. It was my turn to get hurt. At P.E today I tried to do a belly flop on the mats but landed on the mat and flipped causing my neck to nearly break.
"Are you alright?" my classmate asked.
"Oosh. That must've hurt." another classmate said.
I got up quickly and said, "I'm fine. I didn't break any bones."
"Well, don't do that again. That stunt looked dangerous." was what the same classmate who asked if I was alright said.
I was so glad that I didn't actually damage any part of my body. Like what Gwen said, "At least you don't have to wear a neck brace."
