The picture below shows us upon entering the hotel where the dance was being held. From the left to the right we are: Seneca, yours truly, Anna and Matt (in the back), Beth, and Patrick, with the guys going with the girls on their left.
Pre-dance arrangements consisted of eating subs at Matt’s house, and watching the Notebook. Awkward moments that could have been birthed by viewing this particular film were avoided by fast-forwarding certain parts and with a well-placed pillow.
Upon arriving to the dance we were greeted with a room full of lower classmen. This was one of the few dances open to the seventh and eighth graders, and they seized the moment and turned up in droves.
Fortunately the dance lightened up a lot. The songs got better and, through meeting other friends, we all relaxed a little and forgot about the little people frolicking about our ankles. And through the dancing I actually had to step out of my shell a little, which was good.
Seneca and I dressed up as Anastasia and Dimitri, from Anastasia, Matt and Anna went as Peter Pan and Tinkerbelle, from Peter Pan (which doesn’t match up, we know), and Patrick and Beth went as Prince Eric and Ariel, from The Little Mermaid.
Suffice to say we all had a great time, and we’re all pretty glad we went. (Oh yeah, and God answered my prayers about the dance, and I thank Him for that. He’s awesome.)
