The Valentines Dance

I lied down on the floor not knowing what to do with my life for the next 2 hours. At 6 o' clock I will be going to my first dance at Woodrow Wilson High School. Can't wait for prom. Wow I'm turning into one of those girls. Already planning ahead.

beep, beep, beep

It was my twitter alert. Janet posted something

Janet's post: Just had a Starbucks venti mocha frappucino. I have officially turned into a white girl

An hour passed and I had all of my makeup and clothes on. Another hour passed and it was time for Max to pick me up. 

knock, knock, knock.

It was Max. Wearing his tux and tie. He looked so handsome. 

He stepped in and my dad greeted him with a huge smile and hug. He's always been a fan of Max's. He knows he won't hurt me. Max took one look at me and his jaw dropped. He looked at me from head to toe. From buzz cut all the way down to my sparkly flats. 

Max: "You look radiant. No you look alluring."

Me: "Thanks. You like nice too."

He laughed but my father frowned at me.

Dad: "You look handsome Max."

Max: "Thanks."

Me: "So shall we go?"

Max: "No let's stay here."

Me: "Excuse me?!"

Max "Just kidding. Let's go."

We rode off in his dads car and showed up at the Valentines Dance in 16 minutes. Inside was a beautiful Italian scenery. With spaghetti and pizza for us to eat. Hit The Quan had just came on and I busted out on that gym floor like I was on X factor.

Everybody: "AYYYY!!! Go Kate, go Kate, go Kate!!!"

It was the best dance I ever went to. 

After Hit The Quan came on a Taylor Swift song came on and Max pulled me in for the slow dance. His hands were on my waist. Mine were around his neck. He pulled me in a little closer and it was only inches until our lips met. The rest of the night was a blur. Max and I were happy together there. Janet found a girl to go with. Felicia and Cameron went together and Annika's mystery boy turned out to be Sean. 

I had survived my first dance at Woodrow Wilson. It was amazing.

Max took me home and kissed me good night. As I usually do when I have good days I recited a quote to myself. 

Me: " 'There are a lot of people who call you by your name. But there is ONLY ONE PERSON who can make it sound so damn special.' -unknown"

My eyes closed and I fell asleep dreaming of what the perfect world would be like. But truth is, there is no such thing as the perfect world. There is a reason why the world is like this. Full of cannibals, murderers, psychos, horrible people, and cheaters. God made it that way for a reason. And though I don't know what that reason is I think it sure is a damn good one. If he wanted everyone perfect and beautiful than he would have made us all like that but he didn't. Because he has a plan for all of us. And we just have to accept that. That whatever plan he gives us is the right one. 

We can't change it.
