- It was Thursday my best friend invited me to go to the winter dance with her. I initially said No, because no one went to those winter dances. She convinced me to go because we get to choose our music and yay free food (since not a lot people show up, so demand is low, obviously)
- Geek dude during this time was a friend that i guess I somewhat started gaining feelings for , but because this is life, he went on a date with a girl(Let's call her Domino) on Tuesday. I was happy for him honestly since he did deserve someone good. Next 2 days rolled around he said the date went horrible and everything that followed it was a mess.
FRIDAY, The day of the winter dance. I began with my usual school day routine with English, Physics, History, and Orchestra. Yes orchestra where I sat besides my best friend (also my stand violin buddy) she broke the horrid HORRID news that she wasn't able to go anymore (forgot why she could't) so I also decided to not go because i didn't want to go to a nearly empty dance with no one to talk to. Pre-cal. Lunch I sat in the theater table like always except this time a dear friend of mine was severely 'depressed' or at least that's what he said each time I asked about his date. I then proceeded to talk about movies while he somehow tied it back to how his love life sucks and honestly just being pessimist towards everything. So okay lunch wasn't that great. Anatomy, Debate. School ends I go to theater to stay after school. We didn't do much except talk Geek dude was still down, and so an hour later he left, and I was left alone with John and the Doc. It was probably 5 pm at this point so the theater teacher asked if we wanted to go to the auditorium we said yes because we had nothing better to do. An hour passed and the theater teacher left. So it was just us three and we went to the choir room because they were helping out with the dance. Since it was 6 they told me if i could stay since the dance was going to start in a hour. So I decided to stay for the dance even though I didn't really talk to them but my intuition (i guess) told me to stay? Anyways the choir room was empty the choir teacher was over at the gym setting up decorations or the dance. So we decided to play the piano (there was one in his office) and we tried playing horror movie theme songs and we created our own song too. The teacher walked in and we shut the piano down and then he told us to go outside in the bus circle to tell the DJ where to go and help him carry his equipment with a cart the choir teacher gave us. We waited and after several minutes we started racing around the cart and Doc hit the wall while John pushed him. I was on the side watching and I hit a door handle and to my surprise it was not locked! So I told them, and then I opened it. At first it looked like a normal janitor's closet but as i walked in i noticed there was a small staircase on the left corner that led to a second floor. "ouuh mystery, you should go up and see what's there" John told me. I started to go up but HA the DJ arrived so we immediately got out and closed the door (and till this day I still do not know what's on the top of that mysterious staircase). We helped load his system at the gymnasium and it was 7 so the "dance" officially started. The first hour was a bore, I somewhat talked to Doc and John but they mostly talked to each other and then the "life of the party" (as our grade principal said) came. As soon as the President (let's call him that) Doc and John talked to him. So I was left pacing around the gym on my phone like the introvert I am haa. After a while I went to the concession stand where i started talking to this girl the conversation didn't last that long. I was once again back to square one. I was ready to leave at this point where BAM this random dude(His name Scorpio Dude) said "WHAT ARE THOSEE" to me, well to my shoes. "They are vans" I said. "oh my god I thought they were converse. I must be blind. By the way you look like a converse kind of person. I personally myself am a converse man" with that being said I replied with "I mean I have one pair of black converse and yes you look like a converse person too". And so the random conversation took off, lasting 30min which then turned to several hours. It was weird I have never talked to a stranger for that long, anyhow it was a good talk. and I never saw him again. (Well except for the few times we would bump into each other at the restrooms intersection.) Things I remembered from this was the exchanging of our birthdays(This is where his nickname originated from) , Wooden violins, Drums, band, and me being "deaf" ( i said "what?" a lot of times because i couldn't hear him over the loud music), a pat on the head for being as short as I am and him being average size. Then finally ending the dance with cleaning up and pretending to be a cheerleader with the table decorations.
I know this story isn't much but it helped a lot, on the following days I felt happier. Having met someone as cool as him doesn't strike often in my life. Even if it was for one day it was nice having a random and unexpected bond.
A song that described the happy feeling:
