Mortifying English 12

My alarm was set to 7:00 am for a report rehearsal in front of the mirror. At 11:30, I would be discussing Moliere's Tartuffe as a satire in the Neoclassical Period. I was so enthusiastic with this event for a number of reasons. It is a major requirement which would drag my grade to uno or singko. It holds great historical value for it's my first report in college. I know it's mushy. I'm not ashamed to admit that I consider the firsts in my life as significant memories as many ladies do. (Gee Pb, you sound so baduy). Moving on, the ultimate motivation for this report is my crush number two. He was one of the listeners so I didn't want any flaws on my presentation. Maybe I wanted to impress him. Kirs! Haha.

>>FAST FORWARD>>

Whew. I was a little nervous but I remained in perfect composure during the report. I went back to my chair beside Em and exclaimed "Thank God. Nothing bad happened." Meanwhile, the next reporter was erasing the writings on the whiteboard. She made several strokes with it but the green texts remained unmoved. Then everyone including Prof was throwing me concerned looks. In their minds, I can tell they were telling me "Hala!" I immediately looked at the green pen on my hand and read 'waterproof...permanent.' I hurriedly kept it in my bag. With confidence, I told them "No, it's not my pen. Prof, there's something wrong with the whiteboard." She replied "Yes. The board is absorbing too much ink." After that was a burst of laughter. I caught crush number two also laughing at me. I felt both embarrassed and happy. So joined them and laughed at my foolishness.

Friends told me that the ink could be cleared by alcohol or acetone. I hope the janitor would clean it. If it's still there by next meeting, the feeling of embarrassment and guilt would torture me for the whole period. That would remain a permanent mark in my college life. I hope that too would leave a permanent memory in my classmates...especially him. "I remember Pb...the one the one who used permanent green ink pen for the whiteboard."

If you happen to pass by CAL 301, take a peek and you would witness my beautiful handwriting.
