The Worst Tae Kwon Do Class

This night's Tae Kwon Do class was, well, uncomfortable. I am a black belt first degree and also a junior instructor. My instructors are Mr. John Kim and Mrs. Deborah Kim, both seventh degree black belts. That means they are really good:-)). Anyway, starting with four o' clock this afternoon with the Loxley Municipal Park class. Me and another red stripe ( higher rank and trainee rank than me) Mr. Jonathan Wolfrom, were instructing this class and all of a sudden, Sarah, a student, starts bursting out laughing. She would not stop. Then, Me and Mr. Wolfrom drove to the Eastern Shore Tae Kwon Do Center (Mr. and Mrs. Kims' center). It was five o' clock now and also the blue and purple belt class. Kristen Smith, my crush and another junior instructor, was helping this class along with Tanner Schroeder, another new junior instructor. Me and Kristen had to demonstrate the blue and purple belt form, Jun Gun. The class ended and we, me, Kristen, and Tanner, walked to the front desk to discover Mr. Kim had bought all the red and blue stripes - me, Kristen, Tanner, and Mr. Wolfrom- milk shakes! I'd of never thought Mr. Kim would do that, especially just for his students. Though the milk shake was good, it had a negative effect on my stomach. So, now six o' clock, the red and brown belt class began unceremoniously. I felt like I had to take a major dung. I walked around the room, trying to walk it off. Though I knew it would not help, it felt like it would. Happily, Kristen had left after the blue and purple belt class, so she could not experience this unnatural behavior. I told Mr. Wolfrom, the instructor of the class, that I thought I heard my phone ringing. It was untrue, obviously, but I thought I could buy myself some time to go to the restroom. I quickly thought it over as I walked to my sparring bag which held my cell phone. I realized the plan would not work for one important reason; he, Mr. Wolfrom, would expect me to either press ignore on the phone, or pick up the phone and say to whoever that was supposedly calling me that I was in class and I'd call them back soon. So, now that I had no choice but to act like someone was calling me. I acted like there was someone on the phone just in case someone was listening. The anticipation finally eased off a bit and now that I'm home, is finally gone. As I said earlier, Kristen is my crush and my heart has her name scribbled all over it. I'm going to start mentioning her a lot on my blog.
