Unsupervised

The Great Hall. Dinner. Time with friends. Everything's great. So I leave my friends for, you know, 30 seconds to put my cup away and what do you know.....for those few seconds I'm not with my friends something bad happens to me!

I suddenly felt something really cold and wet, and the next thing I know there's a very apologetic freshman boy. He had spilled water down the back of my pants!! Cold water! On my jeans!

He felt so awkward and said, "I don't know what to do right now, but I'm so sorry!"

I hurried back to my seat which, oddly enough, was a table closest to where I was. We never sit at since it's usually filled with baseball jocks, so this was a one time thing.

My friends could tell something happened to me even before I got back. I guess my face was really red and I looked really alarmed, though one of them described my look as "cute." If the look of someone unexpectedly soaked with water when putting their dishes away is cute, then, I guess I looked cute. And we sat there 20 more minutes until I knew it was all dried off.

Rebekah told me she was wondering what was taking me so long and that she was worried something had happened. Because this kind of thing has happened before! One time I walked through the Great Hall with her and I veered off a separate way to grab an apple and would meet her 5 seconds later on the other side. Well I had grabbed my apple and of course knocked one or two over on the other side in the process. How do you knock apples out of a basket in the process of innocently grabbing just one? Well I apparently figured it out.

Bad things keep happening in the Great Hall when my friends leave me unsupervised!!
