Hill Over High Heels
“I was 13 and I had just bought my first real high heels! They were pretty high, but I decided they were perfect in every way so I wore them everywhere. One day I was doing some volunteer work for my church and as I descended down a steep hill, I fell and ROLLED down the hill. The rest of the day, everyone who was with me kept asking if I needed help walking in my heels. Ugh. Don’t worry, I’ve learned to walk in heels since then!”
Audible Excitement
"In language arts class, we were working in groups of four on a project. The teacher was picking for us. She had already picked my best friend and one of my guy friends for my group and I needed one more. I kept hoping for my crush! Well she said his name and I said yes, loud enough for everyone to hear me! I quickly said "a smart person" to cover up! Even worse, after class my crush asked me what that was all about, I told him it was nothing, that my friend had told me something, and I was happy, though people still talk about it!"
Dancy Envy
"I was with my great new boyfriend at prom. We hadn’t been seeing as much of each other lately, so I wanted to spend as much time with him as possible. We were dancing, and having a ton of fun! Then, he told me he had to go do something, and that he'd be right back. So I hung out with my friends for about five minutes, until one of my friends noticed my boyfriend and a girl sitting on a bench laughing and smiling at each other! 'Who’s that girl your boyfriend’s with?' my friends were asking me. I was mortified! I watched them with each other then decided that I was going to make him jealous. I started dancing with different guys, and making sure he saw me. He started giving me puzzled looks, and I just shot him dirty looks in his face. I kept dancing and giving him regular glares. Then I realized he was behind me, he whispered in my ear, 'She's my cousin!' I was so embarrassed!"
Bathroom Blunder
"Last summer my friends and I went to the beach. I was super excited because I knew my crush would be there, so I put on my best and most revealing bathing suit, plopped on some suntan lotion, and got my flirt on. I was on my period that day, and I was particularly heavy, so I went to those little portable toilets that stink so much. I was in the middle of my business when the door burst open. I guess I forgot to lock the door, and who was there but my crush, he began to apologize and close the door when he looked down and saw the blood on my toilet paper, he screamed and grabbed me, pulling me out and yelling to everyone that I was dying. I guess he didn’t know what a period is. So anyways, I managed to pull my bikini up and told him that I was having my period, and I was really disappointed I had to tell him what that was. A few days later, he came by with flowers and chocolates and brought me to the movies, I finally got my first kiss, too."
First Day Of Horror
"It was my first day at my new high school, and I wanted to make a good impression. Since my school had to be in uniforms, I decided to do my hair and make-up perfectly. So I bought this foundation that was an organic kind and I smeared it all over my face that morning. When I got to school my face was puffy and red and itchy! Gross! Not only did I make an impression, I won Class Clown. Literally!"
A Mouthful
"Me and my crush sit at the same lunch table in school and he always laughs because I’m always the only girl who sits at an all-guy table, and the guys I sit with I have known forever. So we goof of at the table and play stupid games. On pierogie day it was Truth or Dare. I ALWAYS pick dare, so they dared me to put as many pierogies in my mouth as I could. Well I could fit more than 10. They all started to laugh as I went to put in the twelfth one, and I started to laugh and pierogies went everywhere!“
See-Through in Science
"We went for a walk outside for science one day when it was snowy. My friends and I wanted to make a snow angel. So, I lay down first and when my friends lay down they were scooted up further, so I scooted up while still laying down and snow piled into my coat and down my back! I got up and immediately started to shake it out! It was cold! It melted eventually and I continued to walk back with the class. When I got back and took my coat off, one of the guys in my class was like, 'Oh is this a wet t-shirt contest or something?' I'm like, 'huh?' And he told me that my WHITE shirt had gotten wet and was see-through! I immediately pulled my sweatshirt back on and left it on till it dried! It was so embarrassing!"
TMI on Study Time
“I asked my crush to come over and help me with homework, and when he agreed, I was so happy. After spending two hours getting ready, he finally showed up. After 20 minutes of flirting and studying, I hear the door open and my mom come in. Soon she yells, 'Honey I noticed you were out of tampons, so I got you some more. Also, you have your gynecologist appointment at two tomorrow!" My crush turned bright red and made an excuse to leave shortly after. I was so embarrassed next time I will make sure she knows when someone's over!”
Em-brace Your Crush
"I was working at an after-school event for a committee that I was involved in with the guy that I have a crush on. We were in the teacher’s lounge filling envelopes with the papers that we were supposed to hand out later that night, when suddenly I got a paper cut on my finger. It was no big deal, so I went over to the sink to wash it out. We were joking around, and he came over to me and gave me a surprise hug while I was smiling. So I hugged him back with my wet hands, and when I pulled away, I saw that my braces were caught onto his shirt. I was completely embarrassed and he ran away telling the whole committee what just happened."
Classroom Klutz
"I was in a rush to get out of class because the bell to go to the next period rang, so I ran up to my teacher’s desk to get a paper signed. When she signed it, I whipped around to leave and knocked over her picture frame AND made her drink fall all over her! To make matters worse, my crush was standing behind me waiting to get his paper signed!"
