My Junior Prom Experience
I just wanted to share an experience I had at prom this year.
I was fiercely thrilled to know that I was able to go to prom this year; almost everyday I would browse for a nice affordable prom dress.
It was also my first time ever applying full-on heavy makeup and wearing high heels. It was a painful experience, but I thought that it’d be all worth it during the night with my friends.
I’m not the type of person to go out and dance freely, so I felt like it’d just be enough to talk to everybody, get a few good laughs, and experience a painful but accomplishing moment.
But nothing was worth it that night, and I kept saying to myself that I should’ve known better than to get pranked by a group of boys.
I was asked to come over to a group of guys who said that their friend wanted to dance with me. There was this question of “do you want to dance now or later?” And I chose to want to get it over with, but he preferred to want to do it later. He said that he’d “come and get [me] later.”
I thought it was to wait for the slow songs. He told me I was cute. I fell for everything.
My friends and I intended to leave at 10:00 to head somewhere else at night for a late-night chat and some sweets, but we stayed until 11:45 because we all waited.
I was pranked, because the next day a guy texted me and told me that they played this type of game all night.
I KNEW some of them! I was so infuriated; my first prom experience was an utter fluke. And I kept thinking that they targeted me because I was the ugly duckling, because they knew a girl like me would probably fall for their dumb tricks. And the worst thing was that my group and his left at the same exact time. It was embarrassing, frustrating, and even though I didn't exactly want to dance with him, I considered his feelings.
But they weren't even real! I felt played and humiliated, and I hope that there wasn't anyone that experienced anything worse. And whoever the other girls were, you didn't deserve to have your time wasted.
