Bad Things Don't Have To Be Bad!!!

"Alright! I can do this!" I called from the high dive. Chrissa and Sunny smiled. I couldn't see Emily. Oh well!
I breathed and got ready to dive. Suddenly, Emily came up behind me and pushed me. Then I was in the air. I felt a horrible pain in my wrist and screamed as I went down. Then everything was black.



Later, I woke up in the emergency room. My wrist was swollen and red. Someone came in with an x-ray.
"Owwwwwwwwww!!!"I screamed.
"Oh dear," The nurse said, looking at it.
"What is it? What's wrong?!" I asked, my eyes wide.
"I'm afraid you have fractured your wrist." The nurse said sadly, patting my back.
I started crying, I couldn't help myself.
"What? No! I couldn't! I can't! You don't understand, I HAVE to swim!" I said, putting my head in my hands, bawling.
"Hey, hey, it's going to be ok," The nurse said gently. "If you want, you can have a waterproof cast so you can still swim."
The situation just got about 50 times better. I sighed with relief.
"Really?!" I said, wiping away my tears.
"Yes, of course!" The nurse said, happier now.
I smiled weakly.



So, this cast is itchy and annoying, but hey! At least it's waterproof! I talked to Emily, who felt very bad about the situation.
"I'm so sorry! It was AFTER that happend that Chrissa said don't play on the high dive!" She said.
"It's ok," I said. Then I grinned. "Hey, at least I'm right handed!"
"Wow, you're such a good sport about this," Emily said in amazement.
"Well, I try to be!" I laughed at my own dramaticness.
"It's Chrissa you can thank, you know?" She said.
Huh?
"She saved you!" She said.
What? Chrissa saved me?
"Gotta go!" I said to Emily. I went back home where Chrissa and Sonali were.
"Chrissa!!!!!!!!" I said, running over to hug her. She hugged me back. "How on Earth..."
"Well, I'm a junior lifeguard and qualified, so I went in there and got you," She said, smiling.
My. Best. Friend. Just. Saved. My. Life.
"Oh my gosh!!! How can I ever thank you!?" I said, hugging her again.
"Just always be my best friend!" She said, hugging me back.
"Hey, I don't want to be left out!" Sunny joked, coming over and making it a group hug. We all laughed.

Stay True,
