Baby Michael Serenade

I think I’m still blushing…

Usually I’m the first one on the bus when our principal mentions a school fieldtrip, this time however…I wish I had stayed behind.

We were taken to the Centro de Arte y Cultura where we would be watching short films made by students from the local high school. We all filed into the auditorium and made ourselves comfortable. After about an hour of watching films about saying no to drugs we had a short break. To entertain us, a rapper wannabe named Baby Michael came up on stage…thus began my complete humilitation. Some girls from my class decided that it would be extremely amusing to shout out “Alex loves Baby Michael.” Obsviously Baby Michael (what kind of name is that, anyways?) noticed all the shouting and pointing at me so he decided to play along and dedicate his next song to me. The song was titled something along the lines of “I can’t live without you.” Oh god. He came up to where I was sitting, and I nervously avoided looking at his eyes for the three minutes of the song. Once the music finally stopped he gave me a kiss on the cheek and his hat…so that I would never be allowed to forget that horrible moment.

Now at school I’m called Miss Baby Michael. Great.
