Embarrassment

Embarrassment By: Sara Elizabeth Chaude Mrs. Laurencot Block five chaude home Now to start this off, I just would like to share this story with you because you may find it humorous and funny, however I find it utterly embarrassing whenever it is brought up to share to friends and family. It all started freshman year, I was a brand young freshman, at a new school and was just getting to meet everyone that was in it. Now unlike most freshman girls, I was dating an upperclassman that was a junior at the time. It was an A day and we had the same lunch which meant I sat with mostly older kids who were either really popular sophomores or were juniors or seniors. One day Derek, my boyfriend, wasn’t there because he had just got done with surgery in his knee and was in a lot of pain. So I was sitting down at the table and theirs about ten of us just eating our lunch in peace, cracking jokes, smiling, the normal everyday lunch routine. Everything was going fine until Tyler Girard-Floyd said the funniest, stupidest thing I have ever heard that made me gasp for air because I was laughing so hard. However, at the time, I was chewing on cookies that my wonderful mother had packed for me that day in my lunch. Accidentally I inhaled the cookie to all the way back of my throat which made it hard for me to breathe. If you don’t know what this word means, it means that I was basically choking and could die in a few minutes if that little particle of food didn’t come out of my throat in time. Next thing I know I see, Mr. Wilcox, the biggest teacher/wrestling coach I have seen come running over to me, throws me up out of my seat, places his arms around my chest, and starts heaving and squeezing me until all of a sudden the little piece of cookie comes flying out of my mouth into the center of the table, leaving me bright red and embarrassed for the rest of the lunch. Now you would think after everything that this poor little girl just went through, you would think they would leave her alone, but oh no. The nurse came into the cafeteria with a wheel chair, A WHEEL CHAIR and told me to sit down in it without any choice of saying no and wheeled me pasted everyone in the school until we reached the nurses offices. The nurse asked me several questions after that and told me if I had trouble breathing or had any pain in my ribs that it was very important for me to tell her because she needed to know since I had just got a procedure which saved my life done on me. So an half an hour pasts by since this whole event went down inside the cafeteria and the nurse said I was freed to go if I promised her if I felt any pain anywhere that I would tell her immediately. But however, just as I was walking out Mr. Wilcox came running in suggesting me that I should call my dad and have him take me to the emergency room to take and X-ray on my ribs since he was such a big guy squeezing such a little girl. I said I felt fine and I didn’t need to go to that extreme but they still persisted on calling my dad, which didn’t work in their favor since me being just like my dad, also said if I was fine there was no need to make such a big deal out of nothing. I love my daddy! Finally after two hours after lunch, chocking, nearly dying and questioning I finally got to go back t class, and for once out of my whole Montville high school career I was actually happy to be back in class, learning science.
