My Night of Nights.
we have here the essay i made for my Grammar subject. i couldnt think of any topic to talk about so i picked prom instead. so now you’ll see why i wasnt happy with my prom night….
My prom night wasn’t what I dreamt it would be. Since I was a kid, I watched movies with girls so excited for prom. They’ll go dress hunting with their girl friends, they go into diets for them to look good on that night, they talk about their prom dates non-stop, they get worried about their hair and make up and they’ll do everything for it to be a memorable night for the rest of their lives. As for me, I can say I’ll remember that night not how the girls on TV show it.
My preparations for that night were simple. I had a dress made for me. It was an empire cut with a flowy end and the color was teal blue and eggplant. My hair was curled the way I liked it and my make up was minimal. I had my nails done and I had wax two nights before. I felt really pampered. I felt like it was my day, my day to flaunt my beautiful dress and the beautiful me. The only thing that was missing in the picture was my prom date. He was invited by my mom to accompany me to prom. He was the son of my mom’s friend. He was incredibly shy and quiet and every time you ask him a question, he’ll answer you with one word.
When I arrived in school, I was feeling nervous at the same time excited because I’ll see my friends and my classmates all dressed up with their beautiful hair and make up. The set up was amazing. Christmas lights were hanged, dried glittered leaves were scattered on the floor, a red carpet was spread along the entrance and the table setting was exquisite.
The beginning of the night went well actually. Good music was played, the food was delicious, I met the dates of my friends, etc. My date and I lined up for our prom picture with my friends. It had a long line and it was very hot inside. When we had our pictures taken, I saw the dance floor filled up with couples dancing to a slow song. It was awkward going back to our table because I saw that we’re the only couple that wasn’t on the dance floor. I was quiet at first because I knew he would ask me to dance. Five minutes later, I still didn’t hear anything from him. I thought that he was just scared to ask me so I asked him instead, since I was his host. I was so nervous asking him to dance because it was my first time to go to a formal dance like prom and it was my first time asking someone to dance with me. But he denied my offer and continued texting his friends. That moment ruined my night. I felt really ridiculous and I felt sorry for myself. So what I did was I just observed the people dancing on the dance floor. I just waited for prom to be over and hoped that after prom will turn out better. But I was wrong. My friends and their dates were going to a bar. So I asked him again if he wanted to go with them but he said no because he just went to a bar last week. What he said now didn’t make me feel sad or pity myself. It made me angry and curse that day. It was suppose to be my night. The night that I would remember forever. But instead, he ruined it. So we ended up in Krispy Kreme waiting for our parents to fetch us. I didn’t talk to him for the rest of the night. I wanted that moment to be over and I wanted to go home.
I was really glad that none of my friends experienced what I just did. They deserve to have the best night of their lives. Maybe I’ll have my time someday. I’ll have my night of nights someday in the future. I also learned something from my experience during prom and that is you cant always expect what you want to happen in your life. You have to work hard for it and you are not suppose to be stupid every time a challenge is up for you.
THE END.
