Haha this kinda happened to me. A classmate kinda broke my leg on the day before the inter school track finals, it ended up immobilizing me for 2 years but we ended up skyping everyday for class summaries, She scanned and sent all the notes over Facebook,etc. In the end it wasn't so bad, I got to spend 2 years in my aunts beautiful villa with my cute cousins, sister and maid, that house was always hectic with soo many guests and i got to "raise/babysit"my cousins which was a lot of fun.
Anyways we never "dated" or anything cause she was more like a sister and its not really a thing in my culture, but we are still really close friends !
