re: So that was awkward

I was in class in undergrad sitting between two really gorgeous girls and after chatting with both of them prior to the start of class , was feeling pretty good. About halfway through class my pen rolled off my desk onto the floor. When I leaned over a loud fart made its escape. All noise, all pen tapping and paper rustling in the class ceased and the professor even paused mid sentence for what seemed like a minute but was probably 2 seconds. I shot bolt upright and began praying God would have mercy and render it scentless, but no such luck. No one made a visible reaction but it took real resolve to be that polite to me. Meanwhile, I broke out into a sweat on my forearms as droplets of sweat began to form but not run off. My arms looked like the hood of a new car after a small rain shower. I said nothing and didn't move for the next 30 minutes. everyone knew who it was because the class desks were arranged in a manner where we were facing each other. I skipped the next 2 weeks of class.
