Mine ....
... a night to show the world our breeding and behaviour. A night that lets the boys become men. A night that changes the girls to real women. A night that transforms us from the unruly, dull-witted, misbehaving students that we are to smart-looking men and women whose beauty, both inner and outer, outshine Athena and the heavens themselves.
That was long. Anyway, I apologize for the late post. I will now tell everyone what happened since last week Friday.
Friday ...
Prom day today! I was definitely excited. My first ever! I woke up with impatience and hurriedly got my towel before realizing that the night was still 12 hours away. I texted my friends the night before, asking on what gift would they give they dates ... to which only one replied: Flower bouquets ... How the hell am I supposed to give them wilting flower packages?!? No. I was going to give them something different. With that resolve I walked out the door.
Back at the house. I wailed all three hours left, racing back home only to find that the blazer hadn't shown up to be worn. No! My life is flashing before my eyes! I'll die if I don't have that blazer! I contemplated injuring myself when ... THE LORD GOD really answers prayers! The suit just went by taxi accompanied by my mom!
With shaking hands I went through the gate of the school. I forgot to tell y'all, we spend our proms at school ever since THAT incident 2 years ago. Davao City banned us from all hotels and resorts after that. Okay, so I walked confidently to the main entrance, not seeing anyone I know but also a little nervous. I tried looking for my crush, but I was thwarted in my efforts, concerning 3 or 4 unruly boys joking around, teasing everyone about almost anything.
After those really annoying people were out of my way, I looked - no, scoured the school for my dates .. texted them, called them ... and finally found there sitting at our assigned table. What a relief. At least I wasn't like other people whose dates left them or were late.
Dinnertime. These annoying-to-the-bone teachers gave us color-coded stubs used to get meals at our assigned places! As if we were kids! But we still followed it ... and when we got to the buffet table, the food was all gone. Do you know that rules are made to be broken?
We stole from the guests' table.
to be continued ...
