(Jackson) I was sitting on the couch at home, flipping through channels on the TV. Nothing looked interesting. My ankle was propped up on a pillow like it had been all day. It still hurt a little, but not as much as before. Mom kept telling me to rest, and I had been listening. Mostly. My phone vibrated on the armrest. I picked it up and saw a message from Luca. Luca: I'm so bored. I smiled and typed back. Me: What happened? Luca: Just got home from school. All I can do is play the piano and I don't even feel like it. I thought for a second. I had been stuck at home all day too. Maybe it was time to get out for a bit. Me: Want to go out? Just walk around for a while? Luca: Really? You sure your ankle's okay? Me: It's fine. I've been sitting all day. I need to move. Luca: Alright
