The Worst Prom Ever

What time is it? It’s time for the biggest event any school has that all the girls look forward to! It’s time to get a date, a tux to match her dress, flowers to match her dress, reservations at a fancy restaurant, and a fancy car to drive instead of my beat up 1987 Honda Civic. Ladies and gentlemen, it’s prom time! Prom this year is in the ballroom of The Great Ballroom Dance Studio. My date for my prom is my girlfriend. Her dress color is blue, green, and teal, with silver shoes and silver nails. Since she won’t let me see the dress, she is going with me to pick out the tuxedo. I am wearing a black tux, with a silver vest, bow tie, black shirt, and silver pocket square. I got her a three rose flower bracelet that matched perfectly with her dress. We ate at Dirty Dick’s Crab House. Instead of taking my old, beat up, 1987 Honda Civic, I took my uncle’s brand new BMW. It was black, with dark tinted windows, black rims, and an amazing aftermarket stereo. I called the restaurant and made reservations for 6:30, and prom started at 8:00. When we get to the restaurant, it was 6:20 and there was not an open table to be found. We waited, and we waited, and we waited. Finally, we got a table. By then it was going on 7:15. Luckily, our waiter, Big Richard, came right away to take our order. I figured he would be really fast at getting our food to us so we could hurry up and get out of there to get to the prom on the other side of the town. But no, the cook messed up our order 5 times! Finally, I got tired of waiting and wanted to get to the prom before the doors closed at 8:20. So, I took my date and went and found the waiter and told him not to worry about it because otherwise we were going to miss the prom. He said, “but I have your food right here!” You know what my response was? “Take it and eat it for your dinner big guy. We have a prom to go to.” My date and I walked out and hit the

    Hey. The name’s Cinderella. Where I want to start my story is when my Dad married this phony after Mom died. Now I’ve got two crumby step-sisters, who aren’t exactly on the pretty side, and they make me work in the goddamn kitchen. I mean for chrissake, they make me work in my own goddamn kitchen. So anyway, this guy came over and invited them to some dance. I guess he was some sort of prince or something. Well I didn’t feel like being lousy and depressed all night so I went to the dance to. It was full of jerks. I mean these guys were real snobs. This one guy was practically on top of me for God’s sake. It was that phony the Prince. So I danced with the guy, I’m not sure why, him being such a snob and all. Then it was midnight and I didn’t much feel like sticking around. On my way out my goddamn shoe fell off. I mean that’s the last thing I need right now for chrissake. Anyway the Prince came over and picked it up. I guess he was some kind of perv or something. I didn’t want to talk to him or anything, so I got out of there like a bat out of hell. The next day the perv comes to my goddamn house with my goddam shoe. He tries to put it on those dopes, my sisters. It doesn’t fit. Of course it doesn’t fit for chrissake. I mean look at those feet. They look like some sort of clown feet or something. Any idiot can tell it doesn’t fit. This Prince guy isn’t too bright. Anyway, he comes over to me a puts it on, that’s when he asked to marry me. I turned him down. I didn’t want to be rude or anything, but he was such a goddam phony. They’re all goddam phonies, the Prince, my sisters, my step-mom, all of them. I think I really kind of hate this place.…

    It's a long day at Phoenix College, I was exhausted and needed some sleep. I was also starving because I missed breakfast and didn't have any snacks throughout the day. So I eventually decided to go eat with my girlfriend due to my hunger and my need for company. My girlfriend and I went to Cane's Raising Chicken Finger further late that evening. When we got to the restaurant we rushed inside because it was furiously burning hot outside as we wanted to avoid the heat as much as possible. The restaurant politely greeted us as we walked up to the cashier. We began to order, our order was six chicken fingers, two Texas toasts, two sauces, a side of fries and a lemonade. Without assistance, we found a booth and sat down. It took a couple of…

    Slowly the questions faded from my mind, and I tried to make peace with my current situation. I started reminiscing. My memories shuffled in my head… and boom, it was the week of Jess’s first prom. I remember it so vividly. Jess was on cloud nine. Everything was so perfect. A star athlete, Honor Roll student, great leader, vice president of her class, and she even had college recruits looking at her. The most astonishing part of it all was she was only sixteen and a sophomore in high school. She bought the perfect prom dress. It was so elegant- strapless, blush pink gown with silver sequence along the bust. All her appointments were made. Hair, nails, and even against her prior morals, a…

    When I was 17 it was 1995, I went on my first real date. We were going to see First Knight. The boy in question was the friend of a friend and I had only ever talked to him on the phone. He said he would pick me up at 7 and we would catch a movie. So far so good. 7 rolls around and he isn't there, he calls and says his Dad is running late so they won't be there till 8. I didn't realize his Dad was driving but whatever, I am withholding judgment. 8:30 they show up and he knocks on my door and I go out to join him. He leans in for a kiss and I lean very far back and awkwardly stick out my hand to shake his hand. He doesn't act like he knows what to do next and he is just staring at his feet and his Dad is staring at us and time just crawls. We finally just painfully walk to the car. It is not immediately apparent where we are going to be sitting. Now, this dude's Dad was HUGE. Not just his weight, but his entire freaking frame. He barely fits in his car. He has the driver's seat all the way back and in the front seat next to him is a cage of living breathing birds. The back seat is really only half a back seat because his Dad is filling so much of the car. I look at my date and look at the car. My date seems to have come to the same realization that there is really only one seat. I squeeze into the backseat while my date squeezes into the front seat with a bird…

    When we arrived to the store, my dad was already irritated at me from the car ride there. We walked into the store and my dad set me loose. I was running around the store, looking at books and inappropriately commenting on them, shouting all of the thoughts that came to my mind while catching some dirty looks from the other customers walking around the store. I returned to my dad and before we left, I asked him for one of root beers from the cafe. He would not let me have one, so I went where no man had gone before, I yelled at my dad in the middle of the store, creating a scene for the whole to…

First with my girlfriends over the years, goofing off on trips to the mall trying on gorgeous flowing gowns for fun, and then it was finally time for me to buy one, finally a formal occasion where I got to dress up in a fancy gown with high heels, my Mom took me to the mall.

    For my breaking a social norm, my friends and I wanted to do something creative that no one in my class would do. So in a couple of minutes of thinking we figure something creative. Our plan was to go to McDonalds and use the drive thru to order our order, but the catch is that I was supposed to walk to the drive thru with no car just me standing there ordering my order and when they said to pull up to the next widow I would just walk to the window and pay and walk to the other window to get my order. We did this after the homecoming dance around like 10:40. So I basically I got of the car I started walking to the drive thru and I was basically stuck in traffic. I got behind this black ford SUV and I waited for my turn. So finally it was my turn and I order everything on the dollar menu. But my friends also told me to say “god damn!” while I order something. So I sounded like this “can I get a goddamn McChicken” So the guy said please drive up to the next window and I started walking. When I got there you should’ve seen his reaction like he was expecting a car not a guy walking to the drive thru. He didn’t say anything he just gave me change back and I started walking to the next window to pick up my order.…

    So, as I said it was the middle of my senior year. I was out with my best friends, Elana, her little sister Alyssa, and Nicole. We were all out, enjoying our day out, with the sun in our hair, the nice breeze flowing through our hair, and the loud hip hop music blasting some Taylor Swift track. We got to Elana’s house and decide to swim in her pool and relax on this nice day during the week. It was a very nostalgic day, despite what happens later that night. After the pool, we sit in Elana’s room and talk about life and the boys we are currently talking to. We then decide to watch a movie and order pizza. It was perfect. The atmosphere of being with my closest friends was the best feeling of my life. As we talked and giggled, danced, sang and watched movies together we just lived life just cause we can.…

I had to constantly remind myself that it was a temporary situation. However, when the son started to steal the children’s food and snacks, I decided to have a talk with him. Sadly, he didn’t listen to me and carried on with his thieving ways. Eventually, I had to tell his mom what was going on, and that made things a bit awkward for a while. O well!…

    My mom and I were running late. Not like it was anything new. We were supposed to be in Moulton no later than 5:30, and now it was closer to 6:00. We finally pulled into the apartment complex, where we were supposed to meet this guy, at a little after 6:00. After searching for this guy for a few minutes[->0] and a few phone calls, we assumed that we had missed him. "See Mom, you should have gotten off of work early," I said just as I saw the guy pull into the parking lot. "Hey are you ready to move into your apartment?" asked the guy.After a few minutes of struggling to get the furniture into the apartment, I figured it was the end of the adventure. A few weeks[->1] later, after getting home from work, my mom was telling me that I would never guess who had called her earlier in the day. Not being in a great mood, I just shrugged my shoulders as to suggest that I didn't really care. Then she asked me if I remembered the guy who we had met just a few days before. She told me that he had called to ask her if she wanted to go out one night that coming weekend.…
