As humans, we are bound to face different emotions and moments, from the happy, sad, awkward, and yes embarrassing moments that are not left out.

Going through the Neoxian city prompt of the month, took me back on memory lane, it is funny to write about now, but wasn't funny at all going through it. It was the first exam I sat for in the university, a general course, the almighty mathematics, normally, it is one of my favorite courses and I felt confident prior to the exam because I had studied well, attended all lectures and was serious with my studies.

But the unexpected I didn't prepare for happened. After being ushered to the exam hall, the supervisors started with the prep talk, also threatening those that had the intention to cheat during the examination, stating clearly that anyone caught would be rusticated with an immediate effect. To finalize his announcement, he also said nobody was allowed to stand up, look sideways talkless of leaving the examination hall unless he or she was done with his or her exams, anyone who disobeys, will be assumed you are through with the exams.

The prep talk was over and the invigilators, because they were more than one, started sharing the question papers and we're scattered everywhere. During the prep talk, I felt a rumble in my stomach but brushed it off, probably an annoying fart trying to find its way so I thought, but still, it didn't stop, "START" An invigilator echoed through the hall. One minute into the exam the rumbling stomach persisted, and it dawned on me it wasn't stopping anytime soon, the left over beans I forgot to warm the previous night, and only had to manage it like that this morning, since I didn't have any other choice as I was down on cash and the exam was an early morning paper, I had eaten the beans without thinking twice of its probable side effects.

The numbers on my question paper started to look blurry, the clearer ones seems like they were dancing on the paper, I couldn't comprehend what I was calculating, my palms felt slippery, alas! I didn't know palms could sweat, my whole body followed, I tried to force myself to concentrate, and the more I tried, the more the force behind was trying to push its way out. I remembered the rules of this exam which were resounded and knew I was done for.

I couldn't take it anymore, the moment the watery substance found its way to the edge, I stood up instantly, all eyes were on me, some probably thought I was a smartass to have finished so fast, "sir, I want to use the toilet", l shouted out, too loud than I should, damn, I already shit myself, the invigilator close to me must have seen the sincerity on my sweaty face, or I think he perceived the odour emanating behind, the guy behind me made it worse, so a fine girl like you can fart this poisonous substance he said with a smirk on his face, also covering his nose, if only he knew it was way more than that now, I was granted the permission to use the loo, I dashed out in embarrassment to finish the rest and clean myself up, wishing the day could restart and I could have made a right choice of my early morning meal.

I went back to the hall face down, thinking I won't be able to write the exam anymore, but was glad, I was allowed to, without looking at anyone's face, I went straight to my sit and finished up the rest of my exam questions.
