OK...seems like there is alot of people that want to know the story behind Question #19 of my Member of the Month interview...So, without further demand, here it is (in its glorious PG rated entirety)
My freshman year, was like any other...nervous and worried that I wouldn't fit in anywhere. I had a select group of friends that I hung out with, but they were like me, I just wanted to be on the outside, looking in. I wasnt really into the social scene, but (almost like a movie) this incident sent me into a totally new social status (some good, some bad)!
Gym class was ALWAYS one of those situations where I stood out. I never was picked last for anything; actually picked 1st or 2nd most of the time. I was an closet athlete, and it seemed everyone knew that from the start. "Pick Mike, he's good at everything", was the more common response. I could just about out run anyone in track, out school anyone in basketball, and when it came to Volleyball...look out!! I broke 2 Guess watches on 2 separate occasions, that the prep chic's were really into at the time. (yeah, I got reamed at for that)
So, as the year went along and winter was over, it was spring again. Ahhh spring!!! The time where the young ladies break out the "short" shorts and swimclasses would start ;). Just about everything a young ambitious testosterone filled male teenager needs! Gym class would consist of about 30-40 students, and would be lumped in with 2 or 3 other classes sharing the gym at once! The odds of seeing many girls wearing mini-shorts and such, was a fairly high chance. It was almost common. And nobody wore the best clothes to gym, most were frayed or ripped and such because, WHO CARES?? When did gym class become a fashion statement!
So a friend of mine named Charles, who was basically my gym class buddy, was a very popular person. (You know, one of the friendly relationships, that you could talk to someone in one class...but "in the hallways", it would be unheard of to chat) He was very swave with the ladies, and even as a freshman, new almost all the older crowds. Well, the one day, we're sitting around the gym, right on top of the "Red Rover's Bulldog" in the very middle. Easton Red Rovers, that was my High School!The students were scattered EVERYWHERE, because on some days, gym class = recess, depending if a teacher was out, or nothing was really planned for the day! So, we're basically BS'ing about short topics, when a group of his friends come over and sit with us! Now, by this time, most already know me or scene me before, so no introductions were needed, just a shared friendly "Hello" was given around by all of them and me! This girl named Jade, just happened to park right next to me...SWEET:)! She was very pretty, and I would be lieing if I said "I didnt have a crush on her"...because I did. A big one!! I figured I was going to take this opportunity to talk to her a bit, but couldn't help to notice this string hanging from her WHITE shorts...That right, they were white...those mesh SHORT white shorts! Maybe it was me staring at her legs. Maybe it was me not making eye contact with her. Or maybe, just maybe, it was my undesirable curiousity to possible have some sort of body contact with her by helping her out.
I said "Hey Jade?"
She smiled and looked at me and said "yeah?"
I said "You have a string hanging from your shorts"
What happened next felt like slow motion!
At the very moment that the word shorts exited my mouth, I reached down, to the string on top of her right leg, and yanked!
There.....on the floor....sat...........a tampon!
Well, nothing short of panic set in within the group! Everyone bolted for the walls, Jade sat there stunned, myself included. I was numb, motionless, and could not move even if I wanted. I just stared at the hygeine product that now sat on the "Bulldogs" face. She got up and ran towards the ladies changing area! Myself, I just got up, kept my head down, and just walked out feeling the stares of 60+ eyes, laughing and chuckling at what had happened. I grabbed my change of clothes, and just went towards my next class.
That incident was a very hot topic for a long time. Everyone knew who I was now, but nobody really gave me any crap for it...just said the usual "hey mike, a string?" type jokes. As for Jade, well, I did have to see her in class, but we never did talk again...I did bump into her in a hallway once. I appologied up and down for what happened, even going as far as to let her embarrass me somehow to make it even...She kindly said "no", and smiled a second and jokenly said "It needed to be changed anyway!
So theres the story! Sorry so long!
