I thought it will be better than it was used to. I thought people were my friends. I thought it was perfect. However, it makes my love ones go away. I tried to talk to them and make them stay with me, but they flew away. I just lost my friends, my boyfriend, and my important family member, Stuart Pritchard. I was alone and need to be loved. I missed them. I missed them so much. God or some universe in the sky, please grant my wish. I wish my life go back to normal like it was in prom.
In Counterstone Middle School, all the 8th graders went to the gym for the prom tonight. The girls was wearing on colorful dress with their high heels, and the boys were wearing on black or colorful suits with any color shoes. The popular and average kids were happy and having fun while the geeks waited for someone to dance with. Then, there was Stephanie, who walked in the gym. She was wearing pink dress with white heels. She had her strawberry blonde hair down to her back and put some make-up on her face like the other girls. She is one of the geeks by the way. She tried to get along with the popular kids, have the boys to fall in love with her, and to become popular. However, she has a boyfriend named Henry, a quarterback of the football team, in the prom. You think she is showing off, but she actually have a handsome boyfriend. Then, Henry stopped her before they get to the dance floor.
"What it is?" questioned Stephanie.
"Um...do I have to go in the dance floor....I meant with you?" replied Henry.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean why I need to go out there with a nerdy girlfriend and I am handsome guy. That is just awkward to date with a nerd that have a nerd father in prom."
Stephanie got mad at him. "So you're saying that I am embarrassment?!" shouted Stephanie.
Henry laughed nervously. "Ha! Nonono! I just saying about the popular kids thinking of you. They said that your father is a creepy old guy and you are too. So...I am not dancing in prom with you..."
Stephanie got really mad at him. Why he believe what those kids say? If she is popular, she would have demanded the popular kids to stop like their owner. Also, she is nothing like her father. Her father is jerk and not caring person. Plus, he left her to walk to her boyfriend 's house because he have to go the club to date a model. God, she hates him and Henry! She wished she have better people.
"Fine! Be that way! I just sit over there while you leave."
Stephanie walked over to the the seats in the back as Henry left the gym. She sits on the first seat and puts her hand on her face. She stared at the people who were in the dance floor. She was alone and have anymore to dance with. Then, she saw her friend, Jean, walking toward her direction. She was wearing purple dress with purple heels. She had her black hair back on her neck and didn't wear any make-up. She is one of geeks also. However, she looks better without the make-up.
"Hey, Stephanie. How are you?" asked Jean.
"Bad. My boyfriend left me..." replied Stephanie without looking at Jean
"Well, that's okay. Boyfriends comes and goes. Hey, how about we talk while my boyfriend is in the bathroom?"
Stephanie stared at Jean with surprise. "You got a boyfriend? How?"
"Well, this guy had a crush on me and we went for a drink for a chat. Finally, we're dating," said Jean happily.
Wow, I never know guys want to date my friend. I know she is geek like me, but she never get boyfriend since sixth grade. Maybe she turning hot or she just like to be herself like me? Well, I will never know. I just keep it untold.
Then, Jean's boyfriend came from the bathroom to the girls. When he came to them, Stephanie take a good look at him. He is short and have brown hair. He was wearing a black with black shoes and bow tie. He is cute for a short boy in the 8th grade. Jean smiled at him and then looked at Stephanie.
"I gotta go. My boyfriend needs me. See you at the graduation!" said Jean before she walked to her boyfriend.
Now Stephanie is alone again. She looked at the clock and saw it was about to end. The last song was the slow dance with a boyfriend, and she don't have one anymore. She knows her prom is the worst day in her school year. Then, she heard a familiar voice.
"Stephanie!"
She looked at the direction of the voice and noticed it was her father. He was wearing black jacket with white shirt, black pants, black shoes, and black long tie. She didn't felt happy or relief to see him. She just felt...indifferent. She don't care about him as he don't care about her. She just don't want him here.
"Oh, what are you doing here? Do you supposed to go on a date with some supermodel?" said Stephanie .
"Well, I learned that she is lesbian," replied Stuart, "So how are you?"
"Bad. My boyfriend left me because I am embarrassment..."
Stuart looked at her as he noticed her pain. "I see..."
Then, the music appears. The last song for the prom. People began to dance slowly with each other. Stephanie became upset.
"The last dance that I never get to. I maybe just go home with you and...have a miserable life," cried Stephanie as her tears streamed down her face.
Her father looked at her as he see her sadness. Her sadness remained of him being a school nerd. He never got a girlfriend to dance with as his life became miserable. He soon felt for his daughter as he wished he will make this night the best for Stephanie. He got up and reach his hand toward Stephanie. Stephanie looked confused.
"Dance with me." said Stuart.
Stephanie smiled at him and placed her hand to his. They went to the dance floor and dance together. The people looked at them as they noticed Stephanie is dancing with her father. They think it is a sweet father/daughter moment, but the popular kids think it is disgusting as they moved far away from them. Jean and her boyfriend were cheering for Stephanie. The lights aimed at the family dancing together. Stephanie laid her head on her father's chest as she felt kind of happy for him being with her.
That night was the best time in my life. I never see my father was so mature and kindly gave me that amazing dance. However, his behavior changed when it was my graduation from middle school. He embarrassed me in front of the entire school by telling a story of how he saw my boobs. The kids laughed at me as I tried to hide my face. Maybe his charms goes up and down.
