May 10 Prompt

May 10: Most embarrassing moment(s). Spill.

Oh my gosh! okay so I was a freshman (in high school), and it was at the end of a long day of field hockey practice and my mom came to pick me up to take me home. My school does this thing where they have senior-freshman buddies, and there was this senior who I really wanted as my buddy (she was super good at field hockey, so nice, etc). BUT, that day she had asked my best friend (at the time) to be her buddy! I was devastated!! So when my mom came to pick me up she came out of her car to say hi to everyone, etc. We walked over (my mom and I) to where she was parked, which was right near a set of mini-bleachers, so I started to sit down and take off my shoes and shin guards, and of course, I started talking to my mom about what had happened that day with the whole senior buddy sitch. Needless to say, I didn't look behind me to see who was sitting in the bleachers, and of course, you could probably guess who it was... YEP! the girl I wanted as my senior buddy! Before I turned around though I was basically ranting to my mom about how she asked my best friend and why and saying how upset I was, "Why would she choose ____ over me! I really wanted her as my senior buddy! This is so upsetting!" etc, etc. When I was done taking off my shoes I stood up and turned around, only to see her sitting there just staring at me with this look on her face that I will never forget! It was like a dear in the headlights look combined with an oh my gosh I feel so bad look. I was thoroughly embarrassed for the rest of that whole season, and couldn't even go near her because it was so awkward! On the bright side, we eventually got over it and had actually talked a couple of times since then.

If you laughed at that, thanks. But seriously, as embarrassed as I was at the time, I now thinks it's hilarious, and yes I learned my lesson! I don't talk about anyone now without turning completely in a circle to make sure they aren't anywhere near me!
