My weight lifting class is pretty positive, we crack jokes, motivate each other and sometimes fuck around in the locker room, what do you expect? It’s a room full of guys and 3 girls. At the start of the year the teacher said she would give us a pizza party if we can go the whole class without breaking a bone from doing something stupid, if it was preventable we get no pizza, if it wasn’t we still have a chance. A lot of the guys (Not me) Are on sports teams and regularly come in with casts or arm slings, we normally say “Your costing us pizza!” Or something alone those lines. I for one never broken a bone so I have no clue what it feels like.

We were playing basketball and I stop to catch my breath, all I hear is people gasping. When I turn I see my classmate with his pointer finger in the air, no screams or nothing just a “hey I broke my finger”. One girl was freaking out because the finger was right in front of her it looked like a misshapen “?”. Some of the guys looked visibly sick and others was just straight faced. The guy who broke his finger was trying to laugh it off. What happened was when someone on my team blocked him, his finger got pushed back since he shoved too hard. I waited for him to leave, did 5 Mississippi’s. I was trying to break the tension so my insensitive ass said “Damn It, No Pizza. I was going to get meat lovers….Shit!” Proceed to sniffle then wiped a fake tear of my face. the guys were eating it up and were laughing, then we finally resumed playing. When he came back the next day I asked if he was good because i was genuinely worried about his finger, he told me to fuck off because apparently 5 Mississippi want long enough and he heard what I said.

I apologized several times in public around the ones who heard and in private because I didn’t know this was one of those times I needed to be serious. He told me what I did wasn’t sweet and took it too far. He still talks to me as long as I’m not the one who initiates it. Others said it after me but I was the first who said it. Haven’t gotten any serious repercussions besides a scolding from him but note to self, don’t make anymore jokes about in injuries in the moment. Oh and we still have a chance at pizza since this wasn’t easily preventable.

TLDR: Classmate’s finger broke, I tried to break the tension by keeping a class joke running. Now I’m in deep dish.
