I don´t think I get embarassed very easily now, when something potentially embarassing happens I always try to laugh about it but I did have my moments when I was a teenager. I think the very worst was when I was in high school, I had a huge crush on some guy from another class and I had the feeling he had me figured out because he always looked me straight in the eyes when we crossed in the hallways and things like that. He was one of those popular rugby players and sometimes I also saw his best friends looking at me, like he had bragged about having a fan. Aaarrrrgh! Isn´t high school hell??
Anyway, he had his leg in a cast for a long time and one awful day I was eating my lunch in the cafeteria, you know, just sitting at a table with my girlfriends. After finishing we always had to take our tray back so I took mine and walked past all the other tables. I had to pass this guy, who was sitting some tables further and I looked straight before me so he wouldn´t see me taking notice of him. But he had placed his crutches next to him on the floor - which I didn´t see - and I slipped over them and went flying through the air.
I was so embarassed I didn´t even look back, I just tried to land in a dignified manner (luckily my plates didn´t fall) and get out of there as soon as possible. After returning my tray I did see that he had put his crutches somewhere else and was intently not looking in my direction.
Isn´t adolescence an awful time? If something like that happened to me now I would behave very differently, possibly even getting a date out of the whole situation!
