Prom night seems like it came right out of a Cinderella story…kind of. I had asked one of my friends, Caleb, from out of town to go to prom with me so I wouldn’t have to go by myself. The day started out like most Saturdays do, with me not wanting to get out of bed. But once I realized it was prom day I jumped right up. Yeah, I was excited but the guy who I’ve liked since sixth grade and who I’ve been I guess you could say “talking to” for a couple of days now was going to be there. After lunch, Mom started to help me get ready. This girl LOVES great deals and what’s a better deal than not spending a bunch of money on prom hair and letting your mom fix it since she’s been fixing your hair for all of your figure skating and twirling years. Then it came time for the dress which I was very excited about since, again, I love great deals. I bought the dress on sale at a department store, then mom made some alterations. She made the skirt under the frilly part longer by adding some lace and she added some straps. I mean, we have all heard the prom horror stories about the guy trying to get in the girl's dress so no way was I going to wear a strapless dress. After I was ready we headed to my Grandmollie’s house to take pictures. This was... I guess you could say... funny because later I found out that Raylyn went to his grandmother’s house to take pictures too but that’s not all... some of our pictures actually turn out pretty much the same.Then we headed to the place Caleb and his family stayed at for the weekend since he was from out of town. So now that I’m with my date we headed on our way to go meet up with Raylyn and his group at Outback. Yeah out of all places they picked Outback. I was somewhat worried about how dinner would go since I did not really know any of the people we were eating with other than Raylyn and Caleb. I was trying my best to not make Caleb feel out of place but I’m afraid it became too obvious that I was “with” Raylyn. Finally our awkward dinner was over and we all headed our own ways to prom at the Holiday Inn (yeah our school was cheap). We hadn’t been there long when I decided that since my date didn’t want to dance and I was too shy to try to dance we went to my house. But then Caleb fell asleep so I sent him on his way. Raylyn called and asked if he could come over since he didn’t want to go home. So me, being the chicken I am, asked mom if I could have some friends over. Once Raylyn got there mom teased me about not being brave enough to just ask if Raylyn could come over. We sat outside by the fire place and talked for a long time but that all ended when his mom called and said it was passed time he came home. We went in the house to let mom know he was leaving. Then we went outside so I could tell him bye and then he KISSED me! Oh my goodness the guy I’ve liked since sixth grade KISSED me!!!! I was so excited I didn’t know what to do. But then to ruin a perfect moment his mother called again and he had to leave.
