I know, that sounds a little bit weird, "chocolate in your pocket," but that's exactly what happened to me. Academic team District Governor's Cup was this Tuesday and Wednesday with the final rounds of quick recall played on Wednesday. So we were in the semifinals of the tournament playing Daviess County, who we had just lost to the night before. During one of the time outs, I felt something poking me so I put my hand in my pocket to figure out what it was. What I felt was soft little pieces of something. Confused, I glanced down at my hands and noticed the soft little pieces were brown, and smelled of only one thing: chocolate. Almost instantly I remembered what had happened earlier that day.
Time: 3rd period.
Class: orchestra.
I'd bought a candy bar from one of my best friends to eat during class. Turned out, the chocolate was really rich so I decided to save half of it for later. And, because I didn't want to lose it, I stuck it in my pocket. It was my full intention to eat it for dessert at lunch, but when I didn't eat, I forgot about it. Several hours of being smushed in my pocket allowed it to melt and get all over the inside of my pocket. So, right in the middle of the match, I noticed the chocolate all over my fingers. I asked my coach for a napkin, and he just looked at me really weird. I told/showed him what happened, and then he went through the whole room trying to find tissues and napkins. Naturally, no one had anything, but they all ended up knowing what happened to me.
After we beat Daviess County, I asked if I could go to the bathroom to wash it off, and Paff laughingly obliged. The awkwardness of cleaning out a pocket and proceeding to dry it, I won't explain, but what happened after was quite funny. So it took me a while to get all the chocolate out and get it dry enough to where I could comfortably sit. Then, I went back to the room and waited a few minutes before starting the match against Owensboro. At the half it was pretty close so the coaches were hurrying to get their inquiries in. Well, unfortunately for them, the period is only 3 minutes long and their coach turned it in 30 seconds after the timer went off. So, our coaches wouldn't allow it to count. Of course, she got mad, and sulked until the end of the match for the second inquiry period. There she put in 2 inquiries where one said that our team should forfeit for a "delay of game". The four of us were completely discombobulated as to how we could have delayed the game. You guessed it. It was me and my chocolate pocket. The lady wanted our team to forfeit the match because I had to clean my pocket out.
Good news: The judges didn't agree with her and we won that match.
Bad news: We ended up losing the final match and they got first place anyways :(
Too funny! Sorry about the lose!
