11. from the 40 OC Development Questions list for Berta! ❤️

Thank you for the ask, @fandomn00blr! It took me a while to come up with something.

11. What is the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to your OC?  Do they still feel ashamed for it? Were there any witnesses?

Berta was an exchange student for the summer between her junior and senior years of high school in a small town in southern Spain, Tomelloso.  She had a huge crush on Ángel, this amazingly gorgeous boy with big brown eyes and long lashes so her host family sister, Sophia, arranged for Berta and Sophia to hang out at a local club where Ángel and his friends would be that weekend. Berta had largely refrained from drinking alcohol while she was in Spain because she had no experience with alcohol other than watching the popular kids from her school party and drink and get kicked out of boarding school. But it was legal in Spain and she was really nervous about hanging out with Ángel.  So she may have had a drink or four (in her defense, Sophia kept plying her with these really fruity kiwi flavored vodka drinks).  When Ángel asked her to dance, she excitedly said yes.  But when they hit the dance floor, she felt dizzy and nauseated and immediately puked right in the middle of the gyrating crowd. Ángel looked horrified and everyone around them disgusted.  She immediately exclaimed, “¡Estoy tan embarazada!” which roughly translates to “I’m so pregnant!” not, “I’m so embarassed!”  Ángel slowly backed away and Berta begged Sophia to take her home. While that evening was bad enough, the fallout was worse.  A rumor went around town that the American girl was pregnant, a scandalous crime in this deeply Catholic and conservative small town, and resulted in Berta’s host mother sitting her down for a very uncomfortable conversation in which Berta had to explain that she was a virgin and it had all just been a big misunderstanding and that she meant to say “¡Estoy tan avergonzado!” (I’m so embarassed). Of course, Berta understood that it wasn���t all her fault, especially when Sophia started dating Ángel a week later.  For the rest of the summer, Berta tried to laugh off her embarrassment every time she was around Ángel and hide her hurt feelings from her host sister. She was glad when the summer was over.
