                            As I walked through the doors to the big building, I braced myself for the loud yelling and music and ramblings of other students that came to the dance. I regretted wearing my long sleeve shirt, that read messy hair don't care, as I noticed how hot and muggy it was from all the students hot and sweaty bodies. "Do you have your ID?" A voice yelled over all of the noise. I turned to see 3 women behind the counter two asking for the student's ID and money and one putting the money away and putting wrist bands on the students that have payed. I hand the lady my ID and a crumbled up 10 dollar bill. As the lady hands me back 2 dollars and my ID I stare at my school picture and shudder with disgust. "Jeez I don't understand how the photographers can get such a bad angle to make me look like a gremlin with a giraffe neck, heck, i swear that's not even me" i think to myself. I quickly stuff my ID card and 2 dollars into my pocket hoping no one saw the monstrosity of a picture of me.

                             Level one complete, I think to myself. Now to find my best friend. I pull out my phone and look at it, she hasn't texted me yet. I decide to walk into what seems to look like a swarm of human beings all around my age some short some tall but none the same. I think back to school and how I've practically become a robot not noticing the people around me as I navigate my way through the halls as I pass many people I am passing now, I even find myself struggling with knowing what hour I'm going to I know where I'm going though I just don't know what it is.

                             By now I've practically scouted out the whole first floor with no hope of finding my friend so I take a quick right and go up the stairs and check the second floor and not to my surprise she's sitting with her boyfriend eating pizza. "Harmony!" I yell over the sound at her. She looks up at me squints then jumps up and runs over to me and gives me a hug. "There you are I've been looking for you every where." "Sorry, I thought I told you I was sitting in the little cafe area." "What you mean you thought you told me?" "didn't you get my text?" "no" she pulls out her phone "Oh I'm sorry, it never sent" "oh don't worry its all good, sooooo."

                             Harmony, my best-friend from since I can remember. Shes one of the most beautiful girls I know, she doesn't believe me when I tell her though. She doesn't need makeup tho she wears a lot. Shes taller than me but not by much, she has pretty brown hair that comes just below her shoulders and is slim but has the butt every girl wants. XD. Shes weird, and not afraid to be her weird self around everyone. She always seems to be smiling and is always there for her friends when they need her. Even though she likes being a jerk to her besties in a playful way. 

                             We walk around for a bit then I decide to part from her and her bf because I was no longer the best friend but the third wheel. So I give them their space and try to find people I know then I find Hope! My other best friend (that doesn't have a boyfriend). She may not be the spitting image of perfection but I still think shes pretty she doesn't wear make up has braces and shirt hair that doesn't even reaches her shoulders, but it does lay across her forehead the perfect length to flip. Shes taller than me and is a little on the chubby side. Shes really crazy and weird like me and a bunch of my friends. Shes pretty chill some of the time but she has a lot of those moments when shes not.

                             We walk around and then she introduced me to this guy named Alec. Everything inside me stops for a second as I stare into his eyes for a fraction of a second it's as if something clicked. I don't understand the feeling I was having, it was like none I've ever had before. I immediately shake myself out of it and listen as Hope introduces me to him. I can't stop thinking about that feeling, what was it, why was it, I may not know why I had it or what it was but I had a pretty good idea. For the rest of the night I hung out with him and hope then towards the end of the night I got his Facebook account. What I didn't know was that that was the first step to a wild roller coaster of a year...
