I am sooooo nervous!!! My friends, Kajsa and Eliza, had just put the finishing touches on my outfit, Ms. Weaver had done my hair, and my sister Evangeline did my makeup. And oh! My dress... It was a unique aquamarine-arctic blue color with a bedazzled crystal bodice, and there were so many ruffles of tulle I was amazed. The crystals drifted from being abundant at the top of the strapless beauty to being scattered across the skirt. I had a slip and a corset under it, just like all the other girls, I presume, and my hair was just combed, so my wild red curls were a little tame today. In my hair was a crystal woven headband, keeping little strays out of my face. Speaking of my face, Evangeline did my make-up, giving me the whole foundation-concealer thing, and curled and darkened my eyelashes. I was given eyeliner over a beautiful arctic blue eyeshadow that shimmers in the light. My lips were colored a ballet slipper-pink shimmer that tasted like a tropical Bahamian dessert, and I had a flamingo blush. My shoes were glimmering silver heels, with a cute little bow on the strap that made me feel like a little girl playing dress up. All 10 of us were in separate limo transports, to make it be a surprise when we got there. The guys were to enter first, and each would come up the astonishing ballroom stairs to escort their partner to the dance floor, after the announcer called our name, of course. I was super nervous. I didn't know if my dress was too extravagant, or not extravagant enough. What if I forgot the steps to one of the dances? What if my hair messed up, or I totally spilled something on my gown? Oh, I'm such a wreck. I don't even know where to start with this. *sigh*. It's been 2 hours and 15 minutes. These plush seats and amazing screens weren't gonna entertain me much longer. I'll just text the girls, but Cam will probably be the most help with this. She knows what to do in this kinda stuff.
Me: Hey, guys! Everyone excited?
Bryn: Ya, u know it! I'm practically jumping out of my seat rn. Hope I don't mess up my dress... HBU?
Me: lol Bryn. Super nervous tho!
Cam: Hey, don't be! U'll do fine. I saw you dancing with Connor and even if u mess up he's smooth as butter.
Andie: ooooh, someone's hookin up with the class clown of the bunch!
Me: Thanks Cam! And am not!!
Noel: I saw the way u looked at him. Don't deny it!
Bryn: OMG! Wait... This goes back to the soccer match doesn't it?
Me: Shh Bryn we do not speak of that. (lol)
Cam: Don't stress it, Em. I've been to enough French balls to know that after the first nerve-wracking 10 minutes, they'll be a blast.
Bryn: And hey, who cares if ur with Connor? It's a night to ourselves, and we gotta make the best! Right y'all?
Noel: Ya!! After all, we did defeat Amáya!
Andie: Yes!!! I really hope there's good food. That's all I'm gonna be having fun doing
Me: Nah uh ur gonna dance with Drew... I saw you gazing into his eyes!
Andie: Dang was it that obvious?
Cam: Almost too obvious Andie!! (lol!!)
Bryn: Lol u guys were so lost in each other
Noel: Speak for urself Bryn!!
Cam: Why do I feel like the only non-whipped person here
Me: Ifu
Bryn: What r y'all talkin about
Andie: Can't help that he's too dreamy!
Bryn: He's not as dreamy as Sam tho
Me: BRYN YOU ADMITTED IT!!!
