AWKWARD

Awkward situation 1

You are walking through the hallway. You are walking, walking  strutting you stuff and then you see someone you know coming to meet you. You walk. You walk. You meet their eyes. You say hi. They say nothing. Dead silent. They look down and avoid you. You are still smiling into the nothing air. You pas each other. Other people look weird at you for talking to invisible people. AWKWARD.

Awkward situation 2

You are (still) walking through the hallway. Walkity-walk. Otherwise known as dragging your 10 kg backpack back and forth through the school. Then you see someone you know. They walk up to you. You relax your face. You are going for an easy smile and eye contact. No words. Naah. Then you get to the point where you can hear them. You smile quickly and the look away. But then you hear it. A high-pitched hi. Unexpected. Panic. Heartbeat fastening. You try to save yourself, say a quick hi back, but no. Too late. They keep on walking with their head hanging low. AWKWARD.

Awkward situation 3

Yes, you are walking through the hallway again. This time you are also worrying about your new skirt, which honestly is a bit too tight. It keeps creeping up and you keep dragging it down. So you are walking, you know, placing your feet in front of each other. Then you see someone you know. But you don’t want to know. You want to ignore then, to be honest. So when you are about to pass them you look down. You look past them. You look up. You look behind you. And so do they. And then finally you have past each other. And then you feel bad. AWKWARD.

 

So yeah. At least one of these happens to me every day.
