"One weekend, my friends and I were playing Truth or Dare and I ended up getting dared to eat a piece of pizza topped with just cheese, sauce, and garlic! It was super-gross but I figured I wouldn&amp;#039;t be kissing anybody that night, so I did it. Well, just my luck, later on when we were all hanging out at my house, the doorbell rang and it turned out to be my crush! He confessed to me how much he liked me right then and there, but I had to apologize, run upstairs, and brush my teeth before I could kiss him because I had garlic breath! When I came back down, my friends were laughing hysterically and my crush had heard every detail of my dare earlier on!  \u2014Bri  I kept getting these love notes signed from my secret admirer for a week, and after investigating, I figured it actually was my crush! I got so excited and admitted to him that I liked him, but then I found out he wasn&amp;#039;t my secret admirer, my friend was and was playing a joke on me! I was so embarrassed, and since then I&amp;#039;ve been avoiding him as much as possible! \u2014Caitlin When I set up my first e-mail account, my crush had given me his e-mail, so I e-mailed him to see if it worked. I called him a little later to see if he had gotten my e-mail but he was doing homework, so he said he hadn&amp;#039;t checked yet. Leaving my account logged in, I decided to go hang out and relax, and check back later for a response. Well, to my surprise, when I checked my e-mail a little later, my little sister had gone on and e-mailed my crush a message saying, &amp;quot;I Love You! Love, Nici.&amp;quot; I was so embarrassed, but now I&amp;#039;ve learned to log out of my e-mail just in case! \u2014Nici I&amp;#039;m a cheerleader, and at this one game I was doing our regular routine, and did a toe touch. Well, it was that time of the month, and I was wearing a pad, but as I did my toe touch, the pad flew out of my uniform and onto the floor. One of the cute basketball players came over and asked if I was okay, but then he noticed my pad lying on the floor in front of him! Even worse, the next day the entire school knew about my flying pad! \u2014Bailey My friends and I went bowling one weekend, and one of them told a hilarious joke while we were eating lunch, and we all busted out laughing. Suddenly I slammed my hand down on the table and this cup of hot sauce flew straight in the air and landed all over me! My friends started laughing even harder, and next thing I knew, the cute guys sitting at the table next to us were laughing too! One of them even said, &amp;quot;Hey, Hottie!&amp;quot; I was so embarrassed, and had to bowl smelling like hot sauce for the rest of the night! \u2014Allison  My sister, Hannah, and I love waking up early and taking walks through the park. This one time I threw on an old T-shirt and some baggy shorts and didn&amp;#039;t even bother to comb my hair or anything, figuring nobody I would know would be up so early. To my surprise, as we passed the basketball courts, I saw my friend&amp;#039;s boyfriend and his best friend, who I have the biggest crush on! I quickly hid my face with my frizzy hair and turned around and walked in the other direction, but it was too late, because I heard him calling my name. I kept walking! Hopefully he didn&amp;#039;t get a chance to see my face, because I looked superbad! \u2014Jennifer  My family took a vacation in Florida and it was superhot, so I was wearing this cute halter top. Right when we were eating lunch, my top completely fell off and I didn&amp;#039;t notice until a few seconds later! When I realized what had happened, I quickly pulled it back up and tied it in a knot, hoping nobody saw. However, this little boy wouldn&amp;#039;t stop staring at me for the rest of the trip! \u2014Lindsay I was walking down the hallway at school when suddenly I saw my crush walking toward me. I was trying to act cool, so I flipped my hair. Sadly, I tripped and fell into a garbage can filled with leftovers from lunch. I was so embarrassed! I had to walk around smelling like rotten food for the rest of the day! \u2014Aysia &amp;quot;Our school went to a local camp on a field trip for two days. On the second day, my friend and I decided to go rock-climbing, but I hadn&amp;#039;t worn a belt that day. Nevertheless, I started climbing and was nearly halfway when the instructor asked me to come down for a moment. I was so confused, but it turned out that my underwear was hanging out and everybody on the ground was laughing at me, even my crush! Now I know to always wear a belt! \u2014Molly Last year I went to a pool party at my friend&amp;#039;s house and I found out my crush was there. I wanted to impress him by doing a flip off of the diving board, but I didn&amp;#039;t know that my period has just started. So, after I did my little routine, I got out of the pool and waited for my crush to come say hi. Everybody started laughing and I couldn&amp;#039;t figure out why! I turned around, and the pool was almost filled with blood! I haven&amp;#039;t gone swimming very often since then. \u2014Ali "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
