everyone, it seems: geez lan! what happened to your face?!
lan: uh, i don’t want to talk about it.
everyone: tell me! tell me!
lan: nah.
everyone: do it!

lan: oh fine. so i was chasing this kid and i was about to tag him, when he threw the flag to one of his teammates. oh yeah, we were playing capture the flag. so yes, the kid tripped and i couldn’t stop in time, so instead of falling on him and probably severely injuring him, i decided i wouldn’t. so i tried to fall next to him instead, but this just ended up with me landing face-first on the ground. after laying there for a minute, i got up, and felt extremely dizzy. that’s when i tasted the blood. seems my forehead was bleeding a lot. my face was literally covered in blood. the kids did not appear to like this. i woozily managed to pick up the pieces to my broken sunglasses (*sob*), walk to the bathroom, clean off the blood, and take a seat next to jamie to fill out an incident report. those aren’t any fun, let me tell you that. i was band-aided and then given a freeze pop to ice the large bump on my head, for we had run out of ice packs the day before. and that is why my face is looking like it is, and feeling like it is now. now stop talking to me.
