Slice of Life #16

  I was in gym class sitting on the bleachers wishing I wasn't on crutches and would be able to play the game. They were playing Pac Man Tag, and it looked so fun everyone was enjoying the game. I wanted to get up and start running and playing, but that wasn't going to go well.   Towards the middle of the game I was looking at one of the kids that were playing because he looked like he was struggling. The kids that were chasing the other kids had to wear yellow jerseys, and some kid with a yellow jersey was chasing him. I see him trying to run so fast that he goes and falls, I start laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes. The funny part was that he got mad and I was still laughing even after he fell. I didn't feel bad at all for laughing because he thought it was funny too.   Then came a round where if you got tagged you had to go sit in the bleachers. So my friend that fell got tagged and he was like "aw man." And he came to sit by me, and I was like "HAH...

   As I’m sitting in the dentist office I could taste the toothpaste in my mouth already. And I don’t like their toothpaste because it tastes nasty. I’m sitting in a nice comfy chair waiting for my mom to come into the room so they could start the process. But I’m getting a little impatient because I want it to start already. She had taken me out of class but I kind of got mad because I was working on my argumentative essay that’s been over due.   They come in and push the chair all the way back and I get kind of dizzy because there was a lot of light right in front of my face and the movement was too quick. She starts picking at my teeth with a black thing I have no clue what it was but it sounded really weird. It made like electrical noises every time it touched my teeth so I’m guesssing it’s a new tool because they didn’t use that last time on my teeth. I wasn’t as scared at I was last time because last time they kept picking at my teeth with a metal pick and it hurt ...

  Today in school we had a rally for the school shooting in Florida. We had the choice to go to the rally or go to the lunchroom. I chose to go to the rally because I wanted to see what the students had worked on. So when I got to the rally one of my friends sat with me and we were right by the bleachers because I can't bend my leg so one of the gym teachers gave us chairs. Me and my friend were waiting for the rally to start.  Some of the students started lining up to go up to speak. Some of the students started speaking and they actually came up with really good speeches, they were using words that would be used proffesionaly.   When everyone was done with their speeches, everyone in the gym clapped one final time. Then, the Principal came to the microphone and said that we were going to be going outside to take a picture. But it wasn't just any picture, we were going to get all the students together to make a heart and make the number seventeen. We chose the num...

  My Uncle texted me on iMessage and said "you wanna play pool?" I was going to say no because he always ends up winning. But today I was feeling lucky or something like that. So I say "okay, but I might loose." And he said I won't try to beat you" so I decided to take my chances and went against him.   We were right in the middle of the game, and I was actually doing pretty good. I wasn't doing bad or good, so it felt like an accomplishment. Because it's like he is the onlly one I have bad luck with playing. And then I was FaceTiming him too, so he got to see my actual reaction. While we were FaceTiming he started rambling about how in my old house I had a pool table. I didn't even know that, and that had me thinking about where it went.   I was potting a whole bunch of the pool balls, and I had a really good feeling about the game. He kept telling me I was going to lose, but I thought I was going to win. So I'm making a whole bunch of sh...

   I’m going down the hall to the water fountain, because I was just coming back from gym class. I was so tired even though I wasn’t doing anything, it’s just that the crutches hurt your arms really bad. But anyways I was getting a drink of water, and I put my head up and I was waiting for my friend to come up to me. But when I duck down to get another drink I put my head up again, and I turn around and she not there anymore. I look for her and see her ready to walk toward the front doors. I call out her name but she didn’t seem to hear me, I tell one of my other friends to call her because he was closer than I was to her, so he calls her and he was really loud. The gym teacher covered her ear and it was so funny because of her face. My friend quickly turned around and said “WHAT!” And for a moment I thought she was mad or something but then she started laughing so I guess not.    She comes over my way and I ask her “are you taking me home or not?” And she said “yea...

  As I was walking out of my front door, I was wondering how difficult it was going to be to walk down the stairs. My little sister was right beside me walking down the stairs at the same speed. I smiled because she was showing a lot of empathy since I got on my crutches. She kept staring at my leg so I said “what” and she looked at me real innocent and said “nothing.”   When I got down the stairs which felt like a whole mission. I took a deep breath and a break because it was a lot. Again I kept walking well half way walking. As I see the cars speeding by I loose control of myself and almost fall. I guess I was too busy looking at the cars that I got distracted and almost let go of my crutches.    When I got to the car, I didn’t even have to ask my sister to open the door, she did it for me. My heart warmed up and she made my evening better. She was helping me all day, it felt like I wasn’t doing anything myself.    When she opened the door she said “he...

   As I sit on the wheelchair outside of he X- Ray room (I think that’s what it’s called) I’m getting ready for the amount of pain I’m going to get in my leg. I wanted to get my crutches already because I had been hopping back and forth all day. As I’m having a little movie in my head, something had to ruin it. I see a man probably in his mid 30’s walk through the door and he says “are you Katelynn?” And I obviously said “yes.”   After the numerous amount of questions that I had been asked repetitively today, he got a good grip of the handles of the wheelchair and pushed me into what looked like a really creepy room. I have a little alarm inside of me that goes off when I see metal tables because they look kind of creep. But this metal table had a white blanket on top so it wasn’t going off like crazy. He pushed me towards that table and tried to get me up. I wanted to do things myself because I wasn’t going to take the risk of getting hurt, and so I did. I hopped on the...
