Last Friday Night

December 29, 2013

Hello Internet! :)
We had a prom on THE LAST FRIDAY NIGHT OF 2013 literally. Thumbs up to the seniors who thought of this brilliant idea (Y). I was preparing at home, but out of the blue, rain. Seriously? Luckily my dad was home to fetch me to Shyne-Ni's in the rain. I was ready to go out when I got criticized by my little brother for wearing sneakers to prom. Says the boy who wears almost the same shirt everyday. When I arrived, Samantha & Shyne-Ni were putting on makeup.

"Did you do anything Juniper? Hair? Makeup?", Samantha asked.
"None." I replied.
"Ohh dear! Here! Let me help you! What do you want to put on? Eyeliner? Mascara?" said Shyne-Ni.
"I don't know anything about makeup.. Just put anything on me that makes me look beautiful." I said.

I live in a family where I'm the only daughter in the house and has a mom who doesn't try to teach or make her daughter look feminine. You can say I'm quite a tomboy who plays video games and stones at home all day. Thanks to the girls, makeup was applied and they said that I look gorgeous. Here we go to prom! It was hilarious when Shyne-Ni's mom kept insisting her to put on more lipstick to make her lips look red so that people could notice. We arrived and all the girls were wearing HIGH HEELS and looked so hot compared to me. I was hoping to see people in sneakers but it didn't happen. We ran to the toilet to hide from the crowd. We mustered up some courage and walked out. But we did it for like three times. Everyone looked super stunning! Carmen came and we talked about if should we go back home or hide in the toilet for the whole prom. We managed to walk into the hall like a boss. I finally met Foong for the first time, it was a funny introduction indeed.

Me & the girls were looking for a table to sit. We stumbled upon our same age friends but there wasn't any place and I felt like we weren't exactly welcomed to the A-B class group so we left and found another table near the stage. We are the wallflowers after all. The first act was "A Thousand Years" performed by the band. They're amazing:). No one dared to go on the dance floor same as us. Me & Shyne-Ni tried hard to support them by singing the songs loudly. We ate delicious pasta and meat but the thing that annoyed me was when that certain person came to "hang out" with Samantha. He couldn't even be nice to her friends. I was seriously offended. Sorry that I can't get myself to like you, you gave me a bad first impression. Thank God Samantha's isn't just pretty but smart to not fall for that guy's charms. He disgusts me I'm sorry. Apart from that, I loved the whole party. I danced like no tomorrow! My moves were pretty cool ahaha but most of the time we were just jumping like kangaroos. Half of the songs I recommended were played. Especially the slowdance songs. The more I listen to it, the more sadder I get. I wish I had a boyfriend to dance to the song "Can I have this dance" by High School Musical. I'd sing to him:

Take my hand, take a breath,
Pull me close and take one step,
Keep your eyes locked on mine,
And let the music be your guide.

I kept looking at him whilst listening to the song:
It's like catching lightning, the chances of finding someone like you,
It's one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do,
And with every step together, we just keep on getting better,
So can I have this dance, Can I have this dance?

Hoping he'd come to me and ask: "Can I have this dance with you?" I was fantasizing and thought to myself "I hope he comes but I don't think he will but I really hope so." In the end he didn't. Aww wells~ I hope fate will let us meet each other again. At least I got to dance with some boys. I was even forced to dance with that certain person that I don't like and gotten taken photos of. Ughh burn them with fire! "Everything has changed" by Ed Sheeran & Taylor Swift came on. That's when I started, I really want a boyfriend to fulfill my romance wishes right now. Samantha slowdanced with four boys that night, that's how popular she is. Me & Shyne-Ni hang out backstage where it was quiet. It was a good friendship moment. I couldn't say this was my perfect prom but it was fun. I regretted not taking photos with people there when I said I would. I'm gonna miss all of the Form 5's. They really made prom awesome.

I got a prize from prom too! Turns out it was a notebook. Thanks. I liked it but not entirely. I ask for too much. But really I'm thankful. Congratulations to prom king, Foong & queen, May Jean. Prom really got me tired when I went home. I felt like I danced too much that I can almost pass out. It was wonderful :)
