We all have more than one embarrassing moment in life, with me being no exception.
Fellow steemians, it is a privilege to share this piece with you.

This incident happened some time ago while I was on campus grounds. It was a busy afternoon in my school with different people going about their own business, either getting back from lectures or rushing back to the hostel.
I was actually done with a lecture, preparing to get to the next before the professor got to the lecture theater; I wasn't going alone as I walked with two of my friends. Right in front of us were another set of people going the same direction as us. I was very sure they were coming from the same place we were and going to the same place too, because I recognized a few of them from my department.
But at that moment, they were slowly beginning to piss me off as they dragged their feet like they were taking a stroll, which is in contrast to me. I was obviously in a rush and practically hopping on my feet. Another annoying thing was, in my attempt to sidestep them and even ditch my friends, I realized they were spread over the walkway. They might have sensed my attitude from behind because they glanced back, but they made no attempt to quicken their steps.

That had fueled my vexation, making me let out a grumble of disapproval at them. Of course I was anything but discreet about it; I wanted them to hear! My friends however tried to calm me down, saying we might not be late for the lecture, eventually. But I was not having it.
I made another attempt to sidestep them again and this time, I was successful and managed to move a bit forward. But guess what? Just right after, I slipped!
I lost my foot balance and was almost falling flat on my butt in front of those people, my friends and others. Thank God for my friends, who steadied me and the flower plant I was able to quickly grab onto. I felt blood rushing to my scalp and head in awkwardnessI had a big urge to disappear from there but in a flash, I was up on my feet again, rushing away to hide my shame with a scowl. Even my friends could not hide their own tiny chuckles, talk less of those people I gave an attitude to. I could practically feel them gloating behind me, even if I couldn't see them.
Nevertheless, I maintained my composure, hurrying away from the place and leaving my friends. Phew!

Here we go. Thanks for reading
