Third Grade injury

Something I will never do again is wear a wedged heel on the second day of school. When I was about eight and going to third grade and I was going to a new school. I was getting off the bus and heading for the class line which the day before I had tears in my eyes because I could not find it. Then I did the worst thing imaginable, I turned the heel sideways and immediately fell to the blacktop. With piercing pain in my right knee I got up. Grimacing with pain I got to my feet and looked down at my injured knee.It was gushing blood so fast it caused it to run down my leg. Holding my dress up and making sure I did not get blood on it limped to class. When I got there I saw my friend who had a cotton ball which she gave it to me to use for my injury.A teacher walked by and saw my knee. She took me in and told me to go to the office and tell them what had happened. they cleaned up my wound and gave me a gigantic bandage. I then was off to class. It soon became both bloodcurdling and just plain annoying to look down at the red spots on the bandage.During lunch recess the very next thing I did was ask if I could go to the office to get my bandage changed. So that's were I went. I was greeted by Mrs.Kim the secretary.I spoke my problem immediately. I need a new bandage for my knee, please. With that she scurried to get a band aid for me.When she returned she had another large band aid in her hand she put it on me and I mumbled a slight thanks and went back out to the playground. after recess i was almost limping because it was impossible to run or even walk. Luckily we could sit most of the day.When we got home we were gracefully greeted by our spontaneous mother. She automatically demanded "How was your day?" Amelia replied first "Good, the usual. Then I replied in a moaning voice "Great. I replied sarcastically. She knew that I was trying to be sarcastic. And it worked. My dress was covering my scrape, so she could not see it. She asked, " What did you do?" Without replying I pulled up my dress to reveal my bandage. I looked at her face. It was nothing to hide she knew exactly what was under the bandage.
