"Hello are these Rain's parents?" I heard the nurse say into the phone.

While I sat on my little blue nurse chair with my ankle throbbing, I started to hum. I starting to hum one of my favorite songs ever.

All I am is a man.
I want the world, in my hands.
I hate the beach, but I stand
In California with my toes in the sand

Use the sleeves in my sweater
Let's have an adventure,
Head in the clouds above my gravi-

"Ok Rain your mom is coming to get you so she can bring you to the emergency room," Ms. Plooro informed me.

"Okay," I replied.

Head in the clouds above my gravity's centered
Touch my neck, and I'll touch yours
You in those little high-wasted shorts, oh

She knows what I think about
And what I think about
One love, two mouths
One love, one house
No shirt, no blouse
Just us, you find out
Nothing that I wouldn't wanna tell you about, no

Then the door swung open and my mom came in.

"Sweetie are you ok?" My mom asked me.

"Yea," I responded.

"What happened??!!"

"Somebody tripped me," I said simply, not wanting to talk about it.

"Who?"

I hesitated. Should I tell her?

"Uh..."

"RAIN...." She warned.

"A girl named Janet."

"You mean Stella and Macy's replacement for you?"

What great mothering skills you have, mom.

"That's the one," I said with tone in my voice.

She gave me a skeptical look.

"Ok let me take you to the hospital," she said, grabbing my arm and dragging me out of there.

"Ouch!!!!" I exclaimed.

"Oh shoot I'm sorry hon, can you hop on one foot for the next twenty feet?" She asked.

"Uhm, I guess."

So I started hopping to the car, holding moms hand for support.

"Rain I'm going to let go I need to et my keys," she said.

"K," I replied.

She let go of my hand and---

I fell.
