Friday the 13th Or Halloween?

This idea was taken from [personal profile] trollprincess. Describe the scariest thing that has happened to you on Friday the 13th.

And since I can't think of anything for myself, you can also try this, if you don't have anything: What is the scariest thing to happen to you on Halloween?

If it's too traumatic, you don't need to post it if you feel uncomfortable sharing.

I'll edit in what happened to me, in a few minutes. I just posted it in [personal profile] trollprincess's journal.



I finally thought of something that happened on Friday the 13th.

It was 7th grade. I was in Economics class watching a movie--I kept hearing strange moans coming from someone behind me. It turned out to be a good friend of mine having a seizure. He fell over into the lap of the girl seated next to him. The teacher shouted for someone to go get help.

A bunch of students (including me) went running for the Principal's office--but since none of us had ever been in trouble, we didn't know where it was. We ran through the gym, and just kept running. We hit flight of stairs, and I jumped over those stairs--adrenaline, I presume.

Along the way, we got a teacher to help us find someone. Everyone took a shortcut through the Music room, and I heard a teacher shout: "You all have themes for running!" The teacher with us shouted back: "No, they don't!"

We eventually got to the office and got help. Someone else happened to have a spoon so the boy wouldn't swallow his tongue. One of the scariest days up to that point. I waited the rest of the day, trying not to cry, and thinking he might be dead. (The classroom was roped off until things could be fixed, and until he was able to be moved to the hospital, nobody was allowed in the classroom.)

I eventually found out he was ok. And then I had to go learn about seizure, because I had never seen or heard of them up to that point. (I was just terrified, and my hands were shaking. First thought: seizure, but it was just fear.)
