Writing Prompt: That Awkward Moment When

These are the moments – those awkward moments – you will laugh about later but cringe at now!! Today's Writing Prompt asks you to finish the following phrase:

This happened to me yesterday. I was going to youth group, and unbeknownst to me, the guys and girls had split into two separate groups. (I am a girl.) So naturally, when I arrived, I ended up walking into the room where the guys were congregating. They were all looking at me and kind of chuckling, and at first I was thinking, "What's going on?" and then I realized there were only guys in the room. So one of the leaders told me, "We split up into groups today," and I said, "Oohh! That's awkward," and then one of the other leaders led me to the room where the girls were gathered. It was a very awkward moment!!

That awkward moment when: I saw a guy that from the back looked like Harry Styles and I ran up and hugged him, thinking he was Harry, and he just gave me the weirdest look and said " Ummmm do I know you?". But he was cute and I got his number, so it wasn't all bad:-)

The awkward moment when. . . I was in math, and there was a girl in a Beatles t-shirt. When I asked the girl what her favorite Beatles song was, she told me she was kind of indifferent about the Beatles, and she was just randomly wearing a Beatles shirt.

when you're teacher goes quiet while you're not paying attention and stares at you (then everybody else stares at you) you look up and start to erase what you were drawing on your desk O_O

Ok, so the other day, I was going to the classroom sink to fill up my water bottle. And we have a stool in my classroom, and I leaned up against it and it squeaked. It sorta sounded like a farting noise. Then I realized people were giving me funny looks. They thought I had passed gas right in front of class when I didn't!

That kinda sorta awkward moment when one of your acquaintances knows you, but you don't really know her and call her by the wrong name when she says hi to you. (Happened a couple weeks ago.) >..
At least we're friends.
