Accursed peer pressure!
Eh...today I did one of the dumbest things I've ever done. I'm not entirely sure if I really want to put it up here, but I but pretty much all my thoughts up here.
Lunch time. I had a hot chicken patty sandwich. That went well enough, I guess. Then I went over to a table where my three of my friends were. Another friend dropped a cup off (we share because of ludicrous prices) for a free refill. I wanted it, so naturally one of my friends (Tom) grabs it. So Tom grabs the cup, goes over to the soda dispenser, and puts in several different kinds. (we have Hi-C and a few other non-soda items, I think...)
He brings it back. It looks fairly normal, but I knew from watching that it was not a single soda. He tells me that if I want the cup, drink it. I down the drink quickly. My friends stare in astonishment. Tom goes and makes an even fouler concoction and brings it back. It's pinkish colored this time. I drink it down without any apparent problems with the taste. He gets me a third cup. The foam from it is spraying out the top; it's that volatile. I drink it down.
"Wow, it burns." We all get a laugh out of it.
I try to refuse a fourth but my friends all pressure me into it. I loved the attention I was getting, and so didn't want to back down, no matter how I felt physically. I took the cup and drank it. Slowly, and in small sips. The first three were getting to me. But I finished it, then left the table. Outside the cafeteria a minute or so later, I get the feeling I need to burp. The pressure in my chest was extreme. It seemed natural, as I'd just consumed four cups up carbonated "substances".
How shall I put this...
The fourth cup followed the gas of the others up. Luckily I was near enough to a garbage can to stagger over and not make a scene. I honestly think that no one knew what had occurred. I headed to the nurse's office where I explained honestly what I had done. She gave me a couple of Tums and let me stay in her office for the majority of my History class. After my stomach had significantly settled down, I went to History class for the last ten mintues, only to find that we were watching a movie.
I explained the situation to my dad, and explained the reason why. "Stupidity, you mean." he would say, whenever I would claim that peer pressure was the reason. I didn't press the issue...
So, that taught me my lesson about real life peer pressure. :p I do not intend to be forced into something like that again.
Eck...
Seventy-Five Cent Empire update coming soon, as I think I messed up the count...:p
W.H.A.T.E. is still active, I believe, and Sara and Solo both joined my new Digimon RPG. I pray that they both work out well. :D
