My BGF and I were goofing off in class one day, and we
started laughing so hard that I farted. Neither of us said
anything and the class got super quiet right after—but
then we just started cracking up again. I was definitely
embarrassed, but I tried not to let it show! —Cora L.ODE TO AWKWARD
At my bestie’s birthday dinner, she
filmed a video of us and all of our
friends hanging out for her Insta-
gram story. I didn’t know she was
filming, so I was talking about her
crush on our friend’s brother. When
she realized what she’d posted, we
were both so embarrassed. She
deleted it right away—but not before
our friend’s brother saw it. The
upside: He asked her out after
seeing the story! —Ruby F.
A few months ago, I was walking
home from school with my crush
when my backpack zipper came
undone and all my stuff spilled out. I
didn’t notice until three blocks later,
so we had to walk all the way back
to pick everything up...including my
dirty gym clothes. It was so not cute.
—Daniella I.
At lunch, my BGF was trying to
guess everyone’s secrets. I told him
there was no way he could guess
mine, but he wanted to try anyway.
He pointed to me, drew a heart in
the air with his hands, then pointed
to my crush at the other end of the
table. My crush and I both turned
bright red! —Connie D.
“My best friend and I are both part of
our school’s drama club. During a small
class performance, we were having a
deep conversation backstage. Chatting
away, I accidentally followed her on
stage...but didn’t realize until it was too
late that this wasn’t my cue! I panicked
and decided to just roll off the stage.
Definitely one of the weirder things I’ve
ever done while acting.”Famous
