So I was always the person who’d make an effort to leave class very quickly so I wouldn’t always be aware to some very crucial surroundings. So I’m seated in math class where our teacher makes us put our book bags by the wall to the side of the room. The bell rings and being that kid that desires to get out I don’t bother putting all my stuff away and I just grab my red backpack and I’m gone. I get all the way to my science class and set the book bag at my desk when LO AND BEHOLD it’s not my backpack. It’s another similarly red backpack that I had mistakenly took in my rush to get to science. So I have this small freak out at my friend Seth sitting next to me. As a freshman and quite socially inept I decide not to actually do anything about it until lunch which was next block. I had some paper in my arms from last class so I resolved to use those and figure out everything during lunch instead of making a scene at like literally the first week of my high school career. So we go into science class and since it’s the first week we’re always doing the scientific method lesson before anything else. My teacher asks the class for a problem we can apply to it right? Well guess who raises his hand? SETH. Now my teacher was fond of Seth so he gets called on and you know what his answer was?? “what if you accidentally stole someone’s backpack? like, you thought it was yours and you didn’t mean to take it” and my teacher was like why don’t you tell me more about this so Seth goes “oh it’s not my problem it’s HERS” and points to me. Complete mortification. and even then my teacher was confused thinking I had just come up with the problem but no. only if. I hold up the stolen backpack and my teacher had the most dumbfounded look like I have never encountered someone that failed at life more than you. so he calls my math teacher yada yada I get my backpack. the worst part? We ended up continuing with that scenario and took notes on the scientific method using the very problem that I had created. my hypothesis? If I wasn’t a complete fail then I’d be able to get my own bag properly.
