8 Guys + 1 Girl

I had a group coursework for Fluid Mechanics last term, which we were to design an examination question in relation to our course syllabus, a proper answer sheet and marking scheme. Due to the lack of female species in my engineering course, I was grouped with another 7 guys. Because it involved group work, we had to stay in uni quite often to have regular meeting regarding the content of our coursework.

All of us were yet to realise, until our group leader Hugh inform us that there was actually another group member who she herself wasn't aware that she was in our group. Yes it was a SHE.

There was one meeting that all the group members had to present own's work solution to others. The meeting was held in the coffee lobby of my department. There was no proper table available, hence, the meeting was carried out with all of us sitting on chairs, with a low coffee table in the centre.

All the guys obtained similar solution, therefore no further discussion took place. Until she presented her different workings for the question, we were confused and needed her to give further explanation.

She sat on her chair, bent almost 70 degrees (from the vertical) to reach the coffee table in order to write her workings. She was wearing a rather loose top, hence, u know, it kept slipping and "something" kept revealing. I could feel the intense atmosphere at that instance. All the guys (including me) were holding our breathe, trying to concentrate on the paper, at the mean time praying nothing "slippery" would happen.

She carried on her explanation, with complete silence among the guys. No further question was raised.

We were gald that the meeting ended early. In the end, the friction was able to withstand the gravitational force, although it was barely. Really.

I was reminded of this incident because I saw her wearing the same top in lecture today.
