Hi Trevor,
Thanks for your message. I’ve been off school for a while now, so it’s nice to hear people haven’t forgotten about me! You asked how it happened, so I’ll tell you. The other day I was walking to school, like I always do. It was raining that day, so I decided to get some shelter at a bus stop.
As I was standing there, I noticed some friends walk by on the other side of the road. They were laughing out loud, as if someone had just told them the funniest joke ever. I decided to run over to them, but then ... I slipped on the wet road and badly hurt my knee. That’s it, really. My friends saw it happen and soon called an ambulance for me.
Thankfully they had stopped laughing by that point, haha!
See you soon,
Casey
