It was awful. And let me tell you why.
At first, when we got dropped off, looking purty good, if you ask me, we had to stand outside for twenty minutes because the teachers couldn't get their acts together.
When we finally got inside, we went into the gym for pictures. That took another twenty minutes.
By the time that was done, the dance was already half over.
When we got there, the music was off because the teacher, who was also the DJ, blew the speakers out. they didn't play slow songs for more than fifteen seconds anyway (which, in the end, turned out to be a good thing)
We stood in our little group for a little, then Hayley went off with her new friend and Kelli dissapeared with her date… so it was just Bridget, Mia, Danika, and me.
Mia had been asked to the dance by Jacob, one of my guy friends, but she only said yes because she didn't want to be rude. (poor guy, when Micheal made him ask her himself, while we were outside, he stammered and said 'do you have a….dance?')
I had been asked by Tristan, who, as it turns out, acctually does like me, and was not dressed up at ALL. Not even a tie. Just a really baggy blue polo shirt and black pants with converse (I approved that, at least)
After a while, our feet hurt (high heels),
so me and Bridget went and sat down. Micheal and Jacob came over and sat by us (me) for a little and talked. I was vaugley aware of Tristan and his friend Tanner only dancing within ten feet of me.
When Mike and Jake left, Tristan 'non-chalantly' plopped down next to me, and I found myself promising him a slow dance.
That was after Bridget winked at me and stood up and left.
Then I found Bridget and Mia and Danika and we went and hid out in the gym and took off our shoes. Apparently, Tristan and Tanner followed us, but they left.
But they knew where I was. So when the slow song came on in the cafeteria (what's a party without that gross fish nugget and chicken farm smell?), he marched into the gym and said, "Bri, it's a slow song,"
My friends snickered. Sheesh.
So I had no choice but to follow him out the doors and into the cafeteria. With my heels, I was taller than him by about two inches.
Tanner was snickering and taking pictures with his phone.
Thankfully, the dance only lasted about ten seconds.
Again, I found myself aggreeing to another dance. Gosh, why do I do this to myself??
Mia and Bridget and I hid out in the bathroom for a while, where there was no paper towels so we dried our hands with toilet paper.
Then we went back outside and sat down for a while.
Then we got up and went into the gym again.
Then we went back into the hall and Mike and Jacob were sitting, so I went and talked to them. Apparently, Jacob hadn't asked Mia to dance becase Mike had told him that she didn't look 'into' him, Which was true, but what kind of friend does that??
Mike hadn't been having the best luck with girls either. He'd asked 5 girls in the past three days and got rejected by all of them.
Then Tyler came ofer and we all talked for a little, Mike untied his tie, unbuttoned some of his shirt, and turned his collar up and started acting like a drunk person. It was quite entertaining.
Tanner came over to me and told me that Tristan was sick and had to go home and wanted Tanner to tell me that. I said, 'oh. ok.' like the genius that I am.
When Tanner left, Tyler looked at me and said 'you aren't very put down about that, are you?'
I said not really.
Then, finally, it was time to leave, so six of us (minus Kelli, who must have had OODLES of fun with her date [i love u Kelli!], plus this one girl…) squeexed into Hayley's stepmom's truck and went to Hayley's house for a bon-fire.
It wasn't really all that fun. I was still depressed from the dance, my ear got milked, and the boys that were there (Hayley's brother and his friends) were standing in the middle of the fire like morons.
So I got home at 11:30, washed off my makeup, took out my hair, and lay down in my bed for a couple of minutes.
Then I decided I was hungry, so I got up and used a little light I got from Kit's Peak that was really dull and went out into the garage and got a slice of cold pepperoni. Mmmmm.
Then I went to bed.
We all looked really good, though.
Too bad it wasn't worth it at all.
Kelli, Bridget, Me (my posture sucks), Hayley, Mia, Danika
