So as the title says, the school dance was today. Wow I'm worn out.
Paige was getting me ready for the dance (in my awesome dress--see previous post.) The sun was just starting to set, and I swished my dress from side to side. I ajusted my earrings and fixed my hair. I could never seem to make myself look perfect. I finally decided on my curls in a high bun and one wavy hairpiece down. My earrings were diamond studs.
I heard a car horn beep outside, so I grabbed my purse and ran out the door. Paige was driving me there with Mia (Who was going with Chad.) Shivering from my nervousness, we pulled into Girl Of The Year University. I took a step out and saw Matt, Chad, and a couple of their friends and their dates.
"Whoa, Lanie, you look great tonight." Matt said.
"Thanks." I responded as he escorted me inside. It was in the gym. When we walked through the doors, I saw red, pink, and white ribbon everywhere. There were balloons with hearts on them and glitter all over the floor. A little cheesy, but hey, it's just a Valentine's Day Dance. A guy from our school was preforming onstage, and everybody besides Matt and I went to the punch bowl.
"Want to go get some punch?" I asked.
"Sure" he said.
I was just about to grab a cracker at the snack table, when I felt something wet and sticky drip down my back. Slowly at first, and then suddenly a whole bowl of bunch was thrown over my head. My hair was dripping wet and sticking out in all different directions. Suprised, I quickly turned around. Who was it? Kanani.
"Oh my gosh Lanie, are you okay?" Matt asked.
I just shivered and stepped over all the puddles of punch. Up in Kanani's face, I waited for her to say something.
"From the moment I stepped into the classroom that boy was mine. I thought I told you that." she whispered.
"Matt, let's go dance while, uh, Lanie, cleans up."
"Kanani--didn't you just pour that punch all over Lanie...my GIRLFRIEND?" He called me his girlfriend!
"It was an accident!" Kanani sobbed inoccently.
"No, Kanani, it wasn't. Leave. Now. Lanie is my girlfriend, so get over it." Matt said.
Totally happy but kind of embarrassed from the look of my hair, makeup, and brand new dress, I turned to go run to the bathroom, but Matt--oops I mean my BOYFRIEND--grabbed my arm. "Lanie, I don't care that you look like a wreck. Let's dance."
Giggling, he pulled me out onto the dance floor. We danced the night away.
At about 10:00, I heard Paige's car horn beep. Time to go already? I waved goodbye to Matt. I can't wait to see him at school on Tuesday.
Love, Lanie
