Chloe has been sidelined by a soccer accident and a bad leg break but after a few weeks in a cast she feels she is getting rusty and is worried about her continued place on the university team. So her friend suggests they go out and practice even though she is on crutches, using a light plastic ball to protect her exposed and vulnerable casted toes. She finds it hard crutching around with a stiff leg, but she still manages to get hold of and keep the ball. The problem is even the light ball is still rough on her poor naked toes and she finds herself kicking from the side so as not to stub it. Her friend brings her open toed cast shoe for her to see if it will help. She puts it on and it provides some support but her big toe is so long it sticks out of the front of her shoe and still stubs when kicking the ball after a few more minutes of her poor big toe on her fully casted leg she decides its enough and up the stairs using her cast shoe, careful not to stub her aching big toe further on the stone stairs.
