I'm going to be doing things that I hate. And here's my first one. I hate awkward moments. Even if it happens to someone else, it feels awkward to me, because it COULD happen to me. Well, today an awkward moment happened. As I arrived in my Swimming & Aquatics class, I forgot that we had a test today and that we were going to have a substitute. I sat down on one of the benches in the lobby. Though, I sat in the corner where my friend (let's call her Cutesie, because she has an ADORABLE voice!) usually sat. So, Cutesie walked in and saw me sitting in her spot and she frowned, and said,
"Darn. I have to sit in the rolly chair." She was talking about the chair with the wheels. That's where I sat. But, if I came earlier than her, I sat in her spot and she would sit in mine. My other friend (Let's call her Forgetful, because even if you repeat it to her a hundred times, she forget. I admit I have a bad memory, but not as bad as her's) was confused. I asked her,
"Hey Forgetful. You ok?" and she responded,
"What's going on?" And Cutesie said,
"We're having a test today! Remember?"
"And we have a substitute too." I added. Our teacher repeated that he was going to be absent on Thursday and that we'll have a test. Apparently, she wasn't listening, and our substitute came out. It was a man in his somewhat 50's, the blue eyes of a Husky, blondish-gray hair, and casual clothing for a teacher. Forgetful said quietly to me,
"OMG! He's good-looking." Good looking for a man in his 50's? Who's YOUR boyfriend? Anyway, as he started to talk, he had a Southern accent. I said to Cutesie,
"Hey, he has a Soutern accent. He must be Southern." And Cutesie looked at me with the "are you kidding me" look. And I had the "what" look. She said,
"I'm Southern." Awkward moment~ Pregnant pause~ Now I didn't know. She had the accent but it was....too soft. Not strong like the substitutes. That was embarrassing, I've known her since the first day of school and I barely know my own friend and that she's Southern. Whoops!
Also, during the test, Cutesie asked me,
"Hey what's.....mayo....car.....d....al.......in...fact.....tion?" And I was with the "seriously, what the f**k did you just say" face. She showed me and it ACTUALLY said: Myocardial Infarction. I said that it was a heart attack. I know, I do my research. Plus my father has a high cholesterol and I keep track of it, because he bothers to take care of himself. I just wanted to say that, because it was so cute when she was trying to say it!
