A klutz for a coach.Jaimee hobbled home from a morning of summer school. She was fighting the awkward rhythm of her crutches. "Plant the crutches. Swing your leg. Plant the crutches. Swing your leg," she muttered. Walking with crutches was hard work. "See you later, Jaimee." Three of her friends waved from a car window, baseball gloves in hand. The car disappeared down the road.

"I could use a hand getting that crutch crutch (kruch) a staff, ordinarily extending from the armpit to the ground, with a support for the hand and usually also for the arm or axilla; used to support the body in walking. crutch n. over there, Kenny." Kenny picked up the hated crutch. Then he offered Jaimee his hand. "Why did you throw it over there anyway?" he asked. Jaimee dusted herself off. Kenny picked up her notebook papers. "You wouldn't understand," she muttered. Kenny's face reddened. "I can't play baseball like you and your friends. So that means I can't listen to your problem," he said. He waved the notebook in the direction thatJaimee's friends had gone. It slipped from his hand, and pages scattered like dry leaves. Kenny chased aher them. Jaimee tried to catch a few pages with the tip of her crutch. "Klutz!" she said to herself, laughing. Aloud she said, "I'm sorry I'm Sorry may refer to the following works:

Jaimee knew that Kenny was always alone, even at school. But she had never thought much about it. Now, for the first time, she thought that maybe he wanted things to be different. "Are you shy?" she asked. Kenny blushed. "I just like doing things by myself, that's all." They walked along slowly in silence. Kenny stopped in front of his house. "Well, have a good summer," he mumbled. "Wait, Kenny!" Jaimee said. "I can't play baseball right now, but I could teach you to play. How about it?" Kenny pushed his glasses back up his nose. "I can't walk with these crutches very well," Jaimee said. "But I bet I can balance on them and throw a baseball. I'll pitch, and you can bat. You'll get a lot of practice. We can start right here." Jaimee motioned at Kenny's front yard with one of her crutches. Without meaning to, she set the tip of the crutch on the yard instead of the pavement. The crutch slid away from her on the uneven grass. Jaimee lost her balance and tumbled to the ground. Kenny ran to retrieve the notebook once again. Then he helped Jaimee back to her feet. "I guess we're both klutzes, Coach," Kenny said. Jaimee smiled. "It'll be fun. You'll see. Tomorrow morning?" "You're on!" Kenny said, handing Jaimee her notebook.
