Prom in our High school isn't like in tv shows. In our school the High school's second graders practise old dances for too months and after the third graders have gratuaded we can show to our families that we are the oldest ones in the school and proud of that. So maybe it's a mix up of debytant ball and senior prom.
I was standing in front of a mirror. Hair in a messy bun and prom dress on. I looked at myself, I actually look quote good, I thought. Only thing that worried me now was the actual dancing part and practice before it. I have too left feet just for you know and no rhytmh what so ever. The worst part of all, is that I have to be near a guy and actually know how to talk to one. I was horrified. It was even a miracle that I got a partner to the prom. I just asked one guy to be my partner, I was joking but he said yes!
My hands were sweating just by the thought. How I was going to survive the actual event?
Maybe the most akward part in this was that, he is my sister's ex-boyfriend and I don't know how to act around him!
Also guys of any kind weren't usually nice to me. So maybe it was part of the reason why I was waiting all the time that he would say that this was just a prank so he and his friends could have a good laughs.
I had had nightmares about this, him, laughing at my stupidity. Maybe this was just stupid fear and I had read too many books where had happened just like this. But still it was serious fear for me.
I looked into the mirror one more time and then got out of the dress. It wasn't easy because I'm not the smallest person in the world. I struggled my way out of the dress, put on my regular clothes, took my car keys and left to school. I had long day ahead of me.
I arrived to school just in time. First I had math which is torture for me because I don't understand a thing. I just sit in first table in front of the class because otherwise I wouldn't see anything even with my glasses on and try to look like I understand something. After class I tried to find my friends. I have three best friends. We have the best time together. We watch the same tv shows and like the same stuff so we can be just ourselves together.
I found Fanny from the second floor. She came to hug me with the usual smile on her face. Fanny is so beautiful, unlike me. She's tall and slim and even taller on her heels, which are her regural shoes. And I'm short and fat. Fanny starts to talk about her plans for christmas holiday. I'm only listening with my other ear and looking for our other two best friends who soon arrive to where we are.
"Fanny, Nina",Lily waves at us Kate just behind her. Lily is my soulmate, I'm sure of it. She likes old black and white films and thinks a lot about everything. Sometimes something that I don't even realize. She isn't fat but not slim either. She has curvy ginger hair and big green eyes. She usually gets lost in her thoughts and then just says something weird. She reminds me of Luna Lovegood a little bit. Kate is tall like Fanny but slimmer. I've known her the longest but in High school we got more close.
The bell rang and we went to our classes. I had history. I love history. I believe that I have lived in 14th century in castle or a mansion.
The last class we had was music theater. Our school's specialty is the oportunity to take part in the school's music theater project every other year. This year we were doing Shakespear. I love theater but I can't say I loved this. This wasn't even near real theater. This was just a chaos. I'm a bit controlfreak and I fear that if I don't take over things, they are never going to happen so this was slow torture for me. Nobody knows anything! The director is real theaterdirector but it doesn't seem like like it. School's theachers don't know anything what they should and nobody focuses. I feel myself like Rachel Berry from Glee or Blair Waldorf from Gossip girl sometimes because I'm the only one who knows how things should go.
My character in this musical is also controlfreak and she (or he. I'm not sure which I am in this play.) thinks she's better than others so this is perfect role for me. The only plus side in this project is that Kate, Fanny and Lily are all in it and Lily is in the same scenes as me.
