Alright so this post is all about Prom 2012. It was my junior prom, and it was a lot of fun. I’m like, halfway on the prom committee so I knew almost everything about what was going to be there. 

I don’t know where to begin. I’ll begin with my day. 

I woke up, ate some cereal. Lied around just watching the clock waiting for it to be time to go to my hair appointment. I painted my nails to kill some time and then went to lunch with mom. That was awkward. I was in a bad mood because my prom plans were getting confusing. But I went and got my hair done and got a waterfall braid, that started out with a french braid on each side. It was pretty. Then I went to get ready at my friend’s house. We got all dolled up and glamorous. Then we met at the local coffee shop to get the group together and I met up with my date. 

Evan drove all the way here from upstate. We became pretty good friends over spring break and I was only halfway asking him to come to prom but it actually worked out. It was so much fun having a date for prom! That’s another story. 

So we took tons of pictures out at our youth leader’s house. His house is on the river and the weather was perfect — I couldn’t ask for better weather. Evan had to go drop his parents off at home so he could use the car, so then I got a ride with someone else and we went to dinner at a hibachi Japanese steakhouse. It was so yummy, I love that food. And our group of people was at least 20 of us, and we got the party room. The only bad part, which might actually be a good part, is that you could only talk to the people right next to you. But my best friend Michelle and Evan talked a lot and we all hit it off which was fun. There were a lot of inside jokes and we all wrote them down on a napkin. I’m not sure who has it though…

Then Evan and I took his BMW over to prom, while jammin’ to music. We went in & there weren’t that many people. It was kind of awkward there for a little while. We got there 45 minutes late too. But after an hour/hour and a half-ish more people arrived and the party started. Now, I’m not the best dancer in the world but I danced the entire time. And I deserve a lot of credit because I had my heels on for half of it. The punch was my savior.. I was so thirsty. And there was also an outdoor area which felt good to go out. Unfortunately, I did see my ex-boyfriend, Charlie, and his new girlfriend basically having sex on the dancefloor but I’m glad they left early to go who-knows-where. Evan and I were together the whole night too. We danced a lot, slow-danced, and did some partner dancing and stuff. The slow dance was odd though because we are just friends, and the guy I like is his best friend. but we got through it. Towards the end, everyone shuffled out and there was still an hour left of prom. Evan and I decided to stay a little while. Lo and behold, the guy I like asked me to slow dance. Well actually everyone knows we like each other so they pretty much forced it but it made my night. We locked eyes the whole time and didn’t mess up and it wasn’t awkward and it was so sweet. People were like, stopping to watch and take pictures of us. It was really nice. Then prom was basically over and Evan & I joined another group for the after-prom festivites. 

This is where it gets kinda bad. 

We had 20 minutes to kill before the rest of the group showed up at the bowling alley so we went to a gas station and got some gatorade then when we got to the bowling alley parking lot, we got a little excited. We were blasting music and Evan was trying to impress me and started doing donuts and speeded. A cop came running up to us with other cops, stopped us, wrote a huge ticket, called Evan’s parents, and told him he had to go home. So I hardly got to say goodbye, Evan got a 450 dollar ticket for “reckless driving”, and Evan left, being escorted by a detective. 

Then I went inside, stressed out already, and realized I brought shorts but no shirt to change into. The rest of the group was tired, and we found out the alley closes an hour early than expected. The group didn’t wanna go bowling, so we played arcade games. And it was me and the guy I like playing against each other and all the other dates. His date was really mad, but she didn’t wanna do anything so whatever. My mom came and picked me up and brought me home to our house, which had lost power. 

So the night could have ended better, but it was a lot of fun, and i’ll remember it forever.
