Elementary memories

At Milliken Park Elementary, sports were a big thing between the classes. Football was a good sport to play, but soccer was the main sport. We kept records and scores for every game we played. All of our recesses were devoted to the soccer field. My class was Mrs. Nelson and we played Mrs. Longacre's class. Our classes were very competitive and never wanted to lose.

One day, we were playing and the recess was about to be over and the game close. I don't remember if we were tied or if we were winning, but the game was tight. The recess teacher told us 1 minute left. Devin Weatherly was from the other class and he was their "leader". The recess was almost over and we were both going for the ball and right as the recess was over, I connected with his leg instead of the ball. My foot hurt and obviously his leg hurt really bad. He laid there as everybody was lining up to go back into school. I looked back and he still laid there and the teacher was surrounding him. By the end of school it was brought to my attention that he didn't return to class after recess. After a few days he was back. He was on crutches and in a cast. I had broken his leg! From that point on he has hated me every since. I felt bad for the kid but the kid needed to be put into check haha. I have not seen him since elementary school.
