The fracture
The math test was impossible. Gumball had no chance to take, at least, a "C". He also realized that even Darwin was in trouble. Only Bobert the robot was the only one who finished the test in less than five minutes. He gave his test to Miss Simian and now he was sitting in his chair in his "standby" mode.
"Too easy when you are a robot!" Gumball thought, feeling a bit envious.
The bell rang.
"Time up. Give me your tests!" Miss Simian said, sitting on her chair.
When everyone gave their tests to the sitting monkey, they went outside for the gym class.
"So? How was the test?" Darwin asked to Gumball once they left the classroom.
"How it was? A complete disaster, as usual!" Gumball answered.
"Yup, I could study more if I knew the test was today. Miss Simian, usually, defers suspended tests till the next week!" Darwin explained.
"Yes, yes, it was a big surprise! I hope this gym class will cheer me up!"
"I wonder what our coach will let us do!" the goldfish wondered.
"I hope it won't force us to play football!" the blue cat said.
The coach forced the schoolchildren to play football.
"I organized a match with the other class. This is an opportunity to test your strength, speed and endurance!" the coach said.
Gumball had no intention to play.
"If you don't feel to play you can always sit on the bench and get an F!"
Gumball decided to play; he didn't want to take another "F".
It was a cloudy and windy day and Gumball couldn't stop shivering despite he was wearing the armor.
The coach put both Gumball and Darwin in the strikers rule.
Darwin was the running back and Gumball, luckily, was the wide receiver.
"It's good, it's good! If I stay here nothing bad will happen to me!" thought he, he had no intention to turn back home with a broken arm or with a broken leg.
The opposing team didn't look dangerous except for a gorilla.
Gumball shuddered when realized that gorilla was the quarterback.
"Are you ready?" the coach asked.
"I want a fair play!" the coach said.
"Do not cheat!" the coach said whistling to the whistle.
The match begun.
For thirty minutes, the play flowed without accidents except when Darwin passed the ball to Gumball.
"Go! You're near the end zone!" the goldfish yelled.
Gumball quickly ran to the opponent's end zone followed by an array of players.
Gumball was in the end zone when the opponent players tackled him making him fall to the ground.
"Don't give up! You're almost there!" screamed one of his classmate.
Gumball managed a touchdown by stretching his arm.
"Yes, I did it!" screamed when the ball touched the end zone.
A second later, the gorilla jumped on his hand.
"OUCH!" the blue cat screamed. He also heard a noisy crack.
"It's a touchdown! It's touchdown!" the couch said whistling on the whistle.
The opponent players freed the blue cat from the tackle.
"Are you fine?" the coach asked.
"I guess so!" Gumball said, trying to get up.
"Gumball, Gumball!" Darwin screamed.
"You've been amazing!" the goldfish said approaching to his brother.
"Yes, I know!"
"Here, let me…."
"OUCH!" the blue cat screamed when the goldfish touched his hand.
"What's wrong?" the goldfish asked.
"I don't know! You hurt me when you touched my hand with your fin!"
"What? Like this…."
The goldfish touched Gumball's hand.
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" the blue cat screamed.
"Looks like you got a fracture!" the coach said.
"Darwin….please, escort Gumball to the infirmary!"
"Yes coach!" Darwin answered.
Soon Gumball and Darwin arrived to the infirmary.
"This day couldn't get any worse!" Gumball said near the entrance.
"Go! See you in classroom!" Darwin said.
Gumball knocked at the door and stepped in the infirmary.
He saw the back of a nurse (with a cute fluffy tail) which he never seen before.
The nurse turned back as she finished arranging the medicines in the cabinet.
Gumball's eyes were struck by a beautiful vision of a doe.
"Oh, hello there!" the nurse said smiling to the blue cat.
Gumball stood speechless.
"Are you hurt? Here, sit here!" the nurse said pointing the bed.
Gumball sat down.
"So? What we have here?" the nurse asked.
She noticed that Gumball's hand was strange.
"Ouch!" Gumball screamed when the nurse touched his fractured hand.
"Looks like your thumb got a fracture!" the nurse said.
The nurse took a little stick and some bandages.
The nurse also removed Gumball's football helmet since he wasn't able to do that.
"What a cute cat we have here!" the nurse said.
"What's your name?" she asked.
"G-G-G-G-Gumball W-W-Watterson!" Gumball said. His heart was beating very fast.
"Gumball uh? That's a nice name. I'm Nancy. Nancy Lovejoy!"
Gumball couldn't stop watching her eyes when she started to plaster his thumb.
"Here. Done!" Nancy said once she finished.
"Kisses!" she said kissing Gumball's thumb.
"Come back in three days to remove the plaster. Got it?"
"Y-Y-Yes. Got it!" Gumball said. He was blushing.
"Be careful from now on! Ok?" Nancy said.
"O-O-Ok!" Gumball answered.
Gumball stepped outside the infirmary and the nurse closed the door.
"Phew! Wow!" Gumball sighed when his heart turned in his normal beat and blushing was gone.
The gym class was over. Gumball returned his armor to the coach and went to his classroom.
Once in, Miss Simian gave the test's results.
Gumball was surprised when he realized that he got a "D".
