homecoming:

last night was my first high school dance, homecoming. i was so nervous and excited. before my best friend got to my house, i was in what i call "freak out mode." my hair wasn't cooperating and it was driving me nuts. then the doorbell rang and i still wasn't ready, so then i became really nervous. i left my date sitting out in the living room with my dad while my mom and best friend kayla helped me get ready. then when all the last minute things were finished, i walked out of the room into the living room and i saw him. he looked fantastic. then it was picture time, flashes were going off everywhere as him and i held hands together and time stood still. when we got to the dance, it seemed like just 10 minutes later i had to leave. like Cinderella at the ball, at the stroke of midnight, she leaves her prince, but in the end there's the happily ever after and now i've realized i am finally living my own fairtytale and i can have my own happy ending too.
