Prom Nightmare

School

I was in the 10th grade and I was going to my high school prom with a senior boy. We were supposed to go to the mall one night to pick out his tuxedo. I had spagetti for dinner then he picked me up at my house. Another couple came with us. At the mall, I started to not feel so good. I had a tummyache and I felt sort of nauseous but I thought maybe I had just eaten a little too much spagetti. I kept feeling worse and worse but I still thought I could hold it until we got home. Finally though I felt really sick to my stomach, so I told them that my tummy was hurting and I needed to sit down for a minute. I thought if I could sit down on a bench for a second, I wouldn't get sick. The minute we sat down, I realized I couldn't hold it in anymore. I remember saying "I think I'm going to ..." then ....BLEEEEH, I barfed a huge amount of red (spagetti) vomit - all over the bench. I was soooo humiliated.

The other girl with us was really nice. She took me up on the escalator to some restrooms that were by the food court. I washed my mouth out and got cleaned up. On the way down the escalator though, I felt like I was going to puke again. I went running as fast as I could down to some trash cans that were at the bottom of the escalator and barely made it to one in time. Between me trying to get there quick before I puked on myself and the small hole for trash, I ended up getting more puke splashed over the side of it than actually in the trash. Worse, the guys were waiting for us at the bottom of the escalator so they got to see me humiliate myself once again.

On the way home, we had to stop again for me to puke over the side of a bridge. It was cold and windy and the puke blew back on me as it came out of my mouth. I couldn't believe it but the guy was really nice about it. He still took me to the prom and if anyone asked about it, he would just say "Well, I never had a date puke on me before" and laugh.
