Today would probably be number one on my list. My list of embarrassing moments in high school. Not only was everyone laughing at me, but I was covered in water, pee and toilet paper. I know what you are thinking.
"Elliot, what could you have possibly done this time, to get yourself to pretty much become a walking toilet?" Funny Story Actually.
~~~~~~
The head "female dog" of the school, Samantha, had told me she "dropped" and earring in the girls bathroom, and me, generally, being a nice person offered to help her retreive it. Just thinking about why I had even offered to help Samantha in the first place made me physically and mentally facepalm. Anyways, after I had followed this girl to the bathroom, and after she had pointed to the stall she had "lost" the earring in, Samantha pushed me into the clostophobic stall and lockded it.
I was stupid not to even see the smirk on her face as I followed her to the bathroom. However, after I had realized what the girl had done, I turned back to the toilet after hearing a strange gurgling noise emerge from it's bowl. Just as the rest of my body finished twisting around, in what seemed like slow motion toilet water spewed out. On me, on my clothes, in my hair and of course, on my face, just like any other cliche, embarrassing "movie moment".
I shouldn't be all that surprised or worried about this incident though. Embarrassing and reality had found a special place for one another in my life. All the wonderful, fantasy like expectations I had imagined, were sadly met by reality, and that was followed by my awkwardness, which also eventually led to non stop embarrassment. That's all that my highschool life seemed to be anymore. That was my lfie. The life, of Elliot.
