I felt the air leave me as I hit the cold water. The crystalline sunlight peeking through the surface 

was blinding. I gasped for air and was greeted by a torrent of frigid water. 

I felt a strong pain on my side as I stood up. I walked back to the river's edge, white hat in hand.

With a painful grunt, I laid myself down on the grass. It really hurt. 

"Mitsue-kun! Are you okay? Why are you wet?" Ishikawa-san ran over. I gestured to the hat.

"I f-fell." Was all I could gasp. Moving was very difficult with the tearing pain on my side.

She gently touched my side. It hurt. "I think you broke your rib Mitsue-kun... Hold on." She 

gently helped me up and walked me to the tree. Surprisingly with her support it wasn't too bad.

"I think you should rest and take it easy for now... I'm sorry you got hurt because of me." 

I shook my head. I was the one who tripped and fell after all. "I-It's okay Ishikawa-san."

"Well we can't stay here forever. Where do you live Mitsue-kun?"
