The day this happened, it wasn't a very good Monday. Ya see, I always run a little to the right, and while I was running on the treadmill in P.E. my foot hit the side and I fell off. My feet were against the wall, so my knees kept getting scraped until the safety stop went off. Speaking of which, it didn't go off for like ten seconds. Yet when I accidentally knock it down with my arm it turns off right away.
I'm starting to think technology doesn't like me.
So the "safety stop" goes off, my friends Emily and Connor walk me over to the gym teacher. I tell them I'm fine, and that I don't need surgery or anything, but do they listen to me? NO THEY DON'T. So the gym teacher tells me to go downstairs and wash my scrapes up. They didn't hurt at all- until a fly landed on them.
Man, that hurt. Right now, you might be thinking, "a fly? Do you have a life outside of the computer?" But an insect just came and landed on open sores, then laid eggs there. Not very polite, if you ask me.
So after I was done washing my scrapes, I went back upstairs and was forced to put bandages on them.
Then gym ended and I went to put my clothes back on. I kept my gym shorts on because it hurt too much to put on jeans.
So at the end of the day, I went over by my sister's locker. And to my surprise, she didn't even notice. Maybe it was because my family is used to seeing me injured. So here was how the conversation went:
Kim: Hi, Kayla! How was your day? Mine was awful.
Kayla: Why? Did you fail your math test again?
Kim: No. (itches leg.)
Kayla: Then what was it?
Kim: Just what we did in gym class.
Kayla: Oh... did you get hit in the head with a dodgeball again?
Kim: No, today we worked out in the weight room. (winces.)
Kayla: I know! You fell off the cargo net!
Kim: Nope. I worked in the cardio room.
Kayla: Let me guess- all the treadmills were taken?
Kim: Oh, I definitely got a treadmill. (takes out a band aid and applies to a scrape.)
Kayla: (looks down at Kim's legs.) Wow!
Kim: Yeah.
Kayla: People were making fun of you in the cardio room because your legs were so hairy?
Kim: Yep, I fell off- wait what??
Kayla: (looks down at legs again.) (gasps.) Kim, what happened!?!
Kim: I fell off a treadmill.
Kayla: Wow. It takes a really "special" person to do that.
Okay, so I may of exaggerated a bit, but she really didn't notice and she really called me special.
~Kim~
P.S. Never trust the safety stop. NEVER.
