Jakob took his backpack, getting it up over both shoulders before grabbing the crutches. Thanking the nurse, he left, hobbling off to the washroom to get changed back into his jeans and button-up top, thankful he'd decided to wear loose jeans today and not his usual skinnies.

Dressed again, minus one boot, he headed for his second class of the day, giving his science teacher a note that the nurse had written up for him. When that class finally ended, he went out to his truck to eat his lunch- he could put his leg up on the seat while he ate, without worrying about taking an extra seat from anyone else. Thank god it was his left ankle that he'd rolled, and not his right. At least he could still drive himself home afterwards.
