School Dance

I had never been to a school dance before - at least according to my weird sense of memory. I still could not recall any of the events in that photo album my parents gave me, and my parents never talked about my sister.  It's like they didn't care about her when she was away at college. I really wanted to meet her but there was always a reason she could not come back from college to meet me.  I continued to dream awful things about jihad, but in those dreams I seemed to always be cleaning up dead bodies and have not a actually killed someone yet. The other weird dreams - about working in a lab - had been getting stronger too. I now found myself talking to ill people. I hated all these weird dreams. I thought I was going insane. The only dreams I wanted to have were about my girl Amanda.

I thought about what I should wear to the dance. I wanted to turn up the heat a little by wearing a tan colored open-button-necked T shirt that hugged my body.  For pants I would wear black. I figured if I didn't know what these dances were like and if I didn't want anything embarrassing to happen on account of my hyper sexuality black would be the choice. Black pants would make events related to my private parts less visible. I was hoping to have a chance to kiss Manda a lot and maybe even make out with her a little.  Also, I suspected Manda would be really good at dancing and the sight of her slinky moves with that body of hers dancing right in front of me might cause me to let go. I didn't want an embarrassing wet spot on the front of kaki pants. Black pants would definitely save me.

Of coarse I really didn't know how to dance. I loved music and could keep a beat but I didn't know any slick moves; I actually didn't know any moves. I would let Manda lead and I would follow her. Maybe I would learn some new stuff.

If Manda was going to be really hot looking on the dance floor it would be great for me to show her off to other people at the dance, but I didn't want too much interest in her from other guys. I might have to dance away from the main scene. I suspected I would have to play that by ear because I really didn't know what to expect. I had to be ready for anything. The only thing I thought was that it should be much tamer than Lance's party. I was sure teachers would be there yelling at kids that got out of line.

I also was curious how this dance would affect Manda. It wasn't just my being there but also how she would be there reacting to others and me. Since she really was shy like Lance said, and it was her first school dance too, maybe she would just hide, or would she cut loose and be a different girl? Since she wanted to do this she probably would not hide but what would she be like?  That was a key question and a fascinating one for me.  It might tell me a lot about her.

When the day of the dance finally arrived Manda gave me no clue as to what she was wearing or what she was thinking when we talked during school. I think she either wanted to surprise me or just make the dance a separate thing in life from school itself. I didn't say much either for probably the same reasons.  I did wonder who was going. I asked Manda if Kim had a date and she said she did not know. I had asked Lenny if he were going and he said he never went before but would not mind. I did not know if this would result in anything or not but with Manda's permission I gave Lenny Kim's contact information. Manda told Kim that Lenny might call her. We left the rest up to them if anything were to happen or not. Both Kim and Lenny were pretty sociable, so we thought something might happen.

My dad drove Manda and I to the dance. The plan was to simply get in the car and drive over to Manda's house to get her and then go to the school.

When we arrived at Manda's house I did not have to wait long for her, and when I first got sight of her emerging from the upstairs of her house I knew she was going to look hot at the dance. She was wearing some kind of wrap that covered most of her clothes but what I could see of her dazzled me.  Her beautiful hair somehow was made even fuller and the ringlets and coils of it framed her amazing face. Her hair was also full with the natural dirty blond highlights that I loved and seemed shinier than usual. Manda also had dangle down earrings that sparkled and complemented her sparkling smile. I also saw her for the first time with a touch of makeup that made her eyes seem deeper and even more inviting: a little bit of eyeliner, eye shadow and mascara made her pretty look even more hypnotic to me.
