I sat on my bed, laughing with my two best friends. Tears were streaming down my face as I choked over some off hand comment that Nikki had made. I clutched my side, the stitch there was extremely painful. It was 3 A.M. It was the day of the semi formal. And we couldn't sleep.
"Oh-oh my god. That wasn't- wasn't even funny" Taylor choked out, hiccuping at the end. I layed back down on my bed, to hit my head on one of the empty cans of sweet tea. Or maybe I had hit it on a Monster. Who knew? Who cared?
Three hours and a major headache later, the three of us we're at the best you could possibly get us after an all nighter. We slumped down in our chairs, sweats and baggy sweatshirts covering our bodies. Everyone was allowed to go into town today to get anything last minute for the dance, so Nikki, Taylor, and I were going into town to get our hair done.
Obviously, we weren't the only ones who either stayed up or couldn't sleep from nerves. I really couldn't care, all I knew was my head was pounding and I wanted to get to town. Finally, finally, Mr. Huffton called for "anyone who was going into town before the dance", which included just about every single girl in the school.
I laughed, knowing that not all of them had dates, but they didn't care. We were going to have a dance, and much to the teachers distaste, there was going to be a ton of dirty dancing.
When we got into town, everyone shot off into different directions, most to clothing stores. I giggled, and as always, linked arms with Nikki and Taylor, then headed in the direction of the hair salon. Since almost everyone else had to get clothes, we were the first ones in there. "Oh! Your dance must be tonight, isn't it? Might as well get started with you three. Have anything specific you want done?"
All three of us nodded, Nikki and I showing her photos, Taylor just saying she wanted loose curls.(A/N if you dont remember the hair I'm going to re-link the dresses) The woman behind the desk and two other of her co-workers quickly got to work on us. Since we were first, they were relaxed talkative, and nice. I knew by the time everyone had gotten through them, they would be tired, irritated, and just happy for the payment.
Once we finished up there, we went up to Mr. Huffton only to find out that there weren't enough people to make a group to go back up to the school. We nodded and Nikki peeped "So how about we get our nails done? It'll waste time."
Taylor and I looked at each other and nodded then headed towards the spa that no one really knew existed. Stepping into the small room the smell of mint and juniper reached our noses and made them tingle.
"Belinda! Maria! Gemma! It's your favorite trio!" Taylor sang out into the almost empty spa. Belinda appeared, the frail old lady with her two sisters, really her friends, but they were like Taylor, Nikki, and I. They had known each other forever had been through everything together, and could still tolerate one another.
We all sat down after getting nail polish, and the six of us started our usual talking, catching up. "So, who are you going with to this dance, Wish?" Belinda asked me, while she fixed Nikki's pinky nail. "Oh.. This guy name Jake, he's a musician." The three elder women chuckled at this and said Gemma said "Remember Joesph? Now that was a boy who could play the drums."
The three of them sat there, laughing, letting Taylor, Nikki, and I to stare as if they had grown a hand out of their forehead.
**********
We got back to the school later on, slowly starting to freak out. Minors things, nails, hairs out of place, shoes feeling tight, simple things. Things that would never would usually be thought twice about. Nikki almost burst into tears. Why? She thought her makeup was smudged. Yeah. That's how nervous we were.
At 6 o'clock, Jake, Mike, and Jordan knocked on the door.
And we were ready. At least, we hoped.
