WINNER
It was a school morning and I was half asleep and ready to catch the bus so I grabbed my coat out of the dryer and quickly ran to the bus stop. As I sat down I heard laughing but ignored it. When I arrived at school all my mates and my crush were suddenly whispering and started laughing when my best mate pulled my MUM’S knickers off the velcro on my hood. OMG I was walking round half the day with my mum’s knickers attached to my hood! Now my nick name is parachute because my mum’s knickers are huge.

My face turned scarlet
My brother’s friend was staying over so I invited my bezzie mate over to big me up and make me sound cool. She came over and we spent a while chatting in my room, then ended up looking through my wardrobe and trying on some hideous clothes that my granny had given me for my birthday the week before. Just as I was standing there in an orange stripy wool poloneck and some very large, high waisted white marks and spencers knickers, my brother’s friend came in to offer us a drink. My face turned scarlet and I won’t ever be able to look him in the eyes again! AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Embarrassing Parents Syndrome
I suffer from what we call embarrassing parents syndrome (or EPS for short), but anyway I was in the high street with my mates when my mum walked up and said to me, ”I got you these,” and handed me a box. Before I realised what it was she walked off. My mates were sniggering so I looked at it and noticed they were my sister’s tampons. She was meant to give me my new boxer shorts! How I wanted the ground to swallow me up lol!

Big red glowing spot
I was meeting up with this gorgeous guy, Mike, but I had one big problem. Overnight before our date a big red glowing spot appeared just under my left nostril. So for the whole date I was walking round with my finger over the spot trying to look as casual as possible. A few days after the date I decided to call round his house. His mum told me to go on up to his room, but before knocking on the door I heard voices. ”It was the worst date ever! She kept on wanting to pick her nose!” I could have died!

Show him the ropes
I was sat in photography call at the start of last year and I was so surprised to see my best friend Richard had decided to join too. Having taken photography before I decided to help him out and show him the ropes. We were on our way in to the pitch black room to develop the film, and he dropped his film on the floor, breaking the case open and letting in light. In order to save his work we quickly shut the door so there was no light and started scurrying around the floor frantically looking for his film, when suddenly we bashed in to each other and I ended up with my face between his legs. God that was embarrassing but funny too lol!

What’s your name again?
I was out with some mates of mine when I spotted this guy, Dave. I’d only met Dave a few times but I really fancied him, so I thought I’d try and move things to the next level. Plucking up courage, I walked up to him and flung my arms around him, kissing him on both cheeks. He looked rather taken aback and I thought I’d pushed things too far. After what seemed a very long moment, he finally choked out: “nice to meet you, darling, my name’s Matt”. I looked at him in horror. It wasn’t Dave at all! It was a random bloke I’d never met before! Argh!

Dud stud
I’d started a new school and thought I’d get in with some of the other blokes by impressing them with what a stud I was. I was telling them that I’d copped off with a real stunner, this girl by the name of… and suddenly my mind went blank. Try as I might, I couldn’t think of a make-believe name. Desperately, I tried to recover, to think of a name. ‘This girl by the name of Rachel Smith,’ I blurted out triumphantly. Where had I heard that name before? To my horror, I realised it was only the name of year 12’s most popular girl. Worst still, there she was, the most beautiful girl in the school, walking past in the corridor. ‘Oi, Rachel’ one of the guys called out. ‘So you know the new boy?’ She looked at me dismissively: ‘As if! Never even talked to him before!’ I felt physically sick.

Big mouth strikes again
The lads were all gathered around me aghast: “how could you be unfaithful to Sandra? She’s fit as”. I felt bad because I loved Sandra and I hadn’t meant to betray her trust but I couldn’t resist bragging. “Yeah, well of course Sandra’s gorgeous but you should have seen this other girl’s legs!” At that moment, who should walk by but Sandra’s bestie. “You utter toad”, she shrieked. “When I tell Sandra she’ll never talk to you again. I hope it was worth it!”

Where did you get her from?
I was meeting a mate of mine near Starbucks and clocked her funky new flip flops. “Check them out! They’re gorgeous,” I broadcast to the street. Unfortunately, just at that moment, two lush lads walked past. They glanced dismissively over at us and one of them sneered, “cheers for the compliment, love, but we’ve got girlfriends already”. I could’ve died!
