THE CHICKEN STORY
This story took place in my junior year. I was in Concert Band that year and it was the day of a concert or the day of a dress rehearsal or something. I remember I had to bring my lunch because we were going to be there for a while. I, of course, bought some fried chicken. I love chicken... that sounds kind of like, "I love the..." BUT, I digress.
Anyways, there was this girl I liked. Most of my stories are going to feature this sentence in them somewhere. But, this is the Girls section, so what did you expect? Well, I liked this girl, and I was always trying to make a good impression around here, but things always ended up going incredibly wrong. Sometimes, I was just like, "Wow...that went incredibly wrong..." This isn't one of the really, incredibly wrong stories, but I thought it was funny.
Well, I was eating and talking to one of my friends. I usually try not to eat the chicken skin, so I take it off before eating the chicken. But, I guess I was really hungry that day, because I decided to eat the skin, too. The skin was halfway in my mouth, when I decided to make funny faces. So, picture me with half-eating chicken dangling out of my mouth making a funny face. That, actually sounds kind of gross, but the face was really funny...I think.
I turned around to see if there was anyone else I could the face at, when I noticed someone walking towards me. Then, I realized it was the girl I liked. She looked over at me just in time to catch me suck the rest of the chicken into my mouth. I guess I was too slow, but it ended up not being that bad. She thought it was really funny and started laughing. You know what? Now that I think about it, that was one of those "you had to be there" stories...haha...
THE SLIPPER STORY
This story took place in my senior year, right before winter break started. Now, I usually don't wear slippers to school, but on this particular day, I chose to. The day before winter break, I decided to wear slippers. Were my feet cold? Maybe...that's not really important to the story I'm telling.
Anyways, there was this girl I had a crush on and I was always really shy about talking to her. But, I decided that since winter break was starting we could meet up sometime and get together. Well, I guess I'm old-fashioned, but I wanted to ask for permission to call her sometime during winter break. Just so she'd know that I was planning to call. I guess, I'm just uncomfortable calling a girl up out of the blue.
So, after school, she was walking out of the school and I ran out after her to ask her. But, then she started talking with this other guy, so I decided to wait patiently. Well, I started getting impatient, when this other girl walked by. We started to make small talk, and then for some reason I get this crazy idea that I should show off. So, I'm like, "Hey, WATCH THIS!"
Have you ever noticed when you say, "Watch this," whatever you planned on doing doesn't happen? There was this humongous planter thing in front of me, and that's what I was aiming for when I kicked off my slipper. I still have no idea how I missed it, but the slipper flew off of my foot, over the planter, arced in the air, and ended up hitting the girl I was crushing on in the face. Right in the face...
I didn't really have the courage to ask if I could call her after that.
