In seventh grade, I broke my leg. But I didn't tell anyone for three days. This is really like pushing it to the extreme. She just gritted her teeth and hopped along. Hop is when you kind of jump on one leg,. You're walking on one leg. Hop, hop, hop. Wow. Until my father found me crying on the bathroom floor. He took me to the hospital and bought me a cast we couldn't afford. A cast is a thing made of plaster. When someone breaks their leg or breaks their arm, they would come out of the hospital with a cast. It's white. These days they may use another material.
