This accident happened when mom was still pregnant.
It was a great day and I did wanted to do something and get out of the house. So we decided to go biking... it was my idea.

We rent the bikes for an hour and we separated from our parents. I had few competitions with my sister and I was winning all the time.

Then suddenly they came.... 4 boys practicing some moves on their bikes. Amazing moves I should say. But the only annoying thing about them was that they were looking at us smirking . Like they are the best people on earth and I took that as a dare. I wanted to show them that girls can also practice dangerous things. So I took a deep breath and started lifting my legs to stand on the bike. I lifted my first leg successfully and when I was about to lift the other one , a kid, who I guess was about 5 years, passed in front of me and made me loose control of the bike.
I felt on the ground but before someone could see me, I stood up and yelled "IM AWESOME" to my sister who was surpris.... more like amazed. She runned toward me and asked if I was okey. I nodded , put my hand on my bleeding elbow... well I also got bruises on my hips ... I still got them but the most obvious one is the one on my elbow... It is really disgusting. Anywy I went to where my parents were sitting and showed them my elbow. They both looked shocked and speechless.... was it that bad? That was one of the questions running in my mind. Well yess it was. We gave back the bikes and went home.
On the road I cried so hard that my eyes turned red.

"Well good thing you remembered to cry" my dad said sarcastically. Well he was right. I felt half an hour ago and now I started to cry.

" I .. dont like ... to cry .. in front of strangers" I said between my sniffs. It hurts so much but it's still is incomparable to the feeling of my burning hips.

We finally arrived, I runned to the house with only my father following me. He suggested that I should put alcohol on it. I accepted ... and it was a bigg mistake. I started crying even harder,when a white substance started to show on my elbow. I guess my voice reached all our neighbors ears. Then my dad putted some other substances. I didn't know what he was doing, I was too busy screaming. After the war between my dad and I running in the living room just because I didn't want anything else on my arm, we went to my grandma's house and I was exhausted so I slept there. But my parents woke me up few hours later announcing that we were going back home.

It was a hard day but guess I will never learn from my mistakes because 2 months from now I repeated the same thing but this time I was with my friends.
I was waiting to get my food with two of my friends when suddenly another friend of mine showed up riding a bike. She asked me if I was interested in riding it and of course I nodded. We start racing: me on that bike and her running after me. I was about to stand up to fastener my bike when a small rock blocked my way and I felt on the ground and hitt my chin hardly. I stood up and cleaned the dirt off my clothes... I couldn't see ... my glasses were missing. I asked my friend about them but she was just laughing so hard that I punched her arm making her groaned and she searched fpr my glasses that were on the floor and handed them to me. We went to a place far from the others and I felt my body shaking and especially my mouth. I felt so much pain and I couldn't keep my tears from falling anymore so I start crying. My friend started to dance as she call "smoothly" on the song "worth it" and beleive me she is a bad dancer but at least that made me smile for a while.
I took her bestfriend's sunglasses to hide my red eyes because I wasn't in the mood to answer anyone's questions about what happend and went to the bathrooms to wash my face then went to grab my food. I couldn't eat. My mouth was shaking again so I've decided to walk and left the table were some of my friends said somethings but I couldn't register what it was.
So on a far bench, away from the others, 3 of my friends were sitting. I just smiled at them and sat next to Alaa, one of my close friends.
Here we go again, I was shaking for the third time in one hour but I was lucky enough because the others had left and I was only sitting with Alaa, we were taking a selfie when I started cying again but this time I could cry as much as I want because I really feel comfortable with this girl. she gives the best hugs in the world and she can be trusted. She insisted that I should go and wash my face but I didn't want anyone to know about what happened. When we were half way to the toilets I told her that I needed more time to cry and she agreed and leaded me back to the bench where we were sitting. I heard someone calling my name but I wasn't in a good mood to reply but she followed me and when I turned arround I noticed that it was my bestfriend. She asked about what happened but I really didn't want to tell but unfortunately one of my friends told her, she looked at me and hugged me then suggested that I should see a teacher or something but that wasn't on my plan. I just washed my face and tried to relax and enjoy the trip as much as I can and that's what I exactly did.

I still love to ride on a bike and also trying to do some risky mooves, because you can't learn without failing and in everytime you fail, you have to keep on trying until you success.
