Four years ago in 7th grade I took an art class and we had assigned seats. The teacher told us where to sit and then afterward she wanted to make sure that we were all in the correct seats (she was quite strict and kinda mean :/). So... she went around the room and pointed at us and asked us our names. The room was *dead quiet*. I said, "Um... uh... um. Uh...". My best friend at two people behind me and was trying to help me by whispering my name. Didn't help at all. I still couldn't say it. My teacher said, "Did you forget your name?" She *WAS NOT* joking. She *SERIOUSLY* thought I had forgotten it. Eventually I said my name. My cheeks were probably bright red and my face was probably super hot. It was terrible. :/
