Saturday 9/3/16 (Senior Year)

       Homecoming day. My boyfriend (Geek dude) asked me to the Homecoming dance on Thursday and I of course said yes. Friday as you may already know was not the best day ever for my self esteem. So when Saturday came around I was filled with anxiety that something might go wrong today.
       I woke up early because I also had to volunteer for a place called Turning point (Where we cook food for the homeless). Geek dude was also here so it wasn't that bad, I had someone to talk to and my anxiety eased. Geek dude and me started helping making a potato mix (which is the bomb ah). Then I started cutting up strawberries for the strawberry cake (which also turned out SO good). An hour later we served the food and then me and geek dude and group of friends went outside to eat the leftover food. That was when Soccer player asked Geek dude "Hey are you going to homecoming today?" and then geek dude said "Yes I am. And I am going to the person sitting besides me" (I was sitting besides him and so was this other dude HAHA) So the soccer player said "Aw that's cute so did you do a cute homecoming proposal?" and me and Geek dude said "No. It was just a mutual decision". The soccer player then said "Okay Geek dude I will help you ask your girlfriend to homecoming then" . "Oh no it's really not necessar-". "Hey can I borrow a pen Ms. Castillo?" the soccer player then proceeded to get a napkin paper and wrote this-



He gave it to Geek dude then geek dude said "Okay ______ Will you go to homecoming with me even though you have already given me an answer?". So as you can see I circled Yes on the napkin. And the table went "aww" and one of our supervising teachers took a picture of it to post on the volunteering twitter page. Even though it was a joke in a way.
It was then 12:30 and we went home since we were done volunteering.



     OH did I forget to mention that I was sick on this day? Boogers coming out, a bunch of coughing, massive headaches, and yet somehow I managed to pull through the service. Now it was time to try and get better for 7pm. I came home, slept, did homework, practiced violin (sort of), drank medicine. Then when 6 rolled around I started getting ready even though I had minor fever. Went to the dance at 7, geek dude wasn't there yet because of traffic so I sat in the courtyard to wait for him. Luckily The Prodigy came at the same time as I did so we both sat in the courtyard. He said he was waiting for Scorpio dude (Did I forget to mention those two are best friends?). So we started talking about the movie Batman v Superman and how he was watching it before he came here. Then I said "No way I was just listening to the movie soundtrack. I mean one song in particular, the Lex luther's theme song" and he said "OH The red capes are coming?" which to I said yes. Then we talked about movie soundtracks. Five minutes later Geek dude arrived and I said goodbye to the Prodigy kid and went inside we sat on a table started playing with a balloon that was on the floor. Soon he discovered I had a fear of balloons. More specifically I have a fear of balloons popping near me. So he spent the next hour or so trying to scare me and in return I would try to tickle him or throw the balloon back at him in which at one point hit a guy I didn't know on the back of the head. I pretended that it wasn't me who threw the balloon. The guy then threw it to the couple sitting in front of us then the whole table started throwing balloons at each other even though we didn't know each other. It was fun honestly. Then the Theater squad showed up so we went with them to hang out while John busted out some sick dance moves and The President threw some 70's dance moves to modern songs. At first Me and Geek dude did not dance due to us not being good dancers.
        In the last forty minutes Geek dude told me "Okay we will dance on the next slow song" and I agreed. The slow song came on and we went to the dance floor. Which was kind of funny, him being a lot taller than me and me being the short person that I am (and I was wearing heels and I was STILL significantly shorter). He had to take small steps and I had to take big steps in order to synchronize. My arms barely reached his shoulders. So we then started laughing about this and kept saying "Ah person behind you take four steps to the right so you won't hit them". Then the song was over and a bachata song came on, so we had to move a tad bit more. Geek dude then said "OKAY from what I have seen so far is that people take two steps to the right then two steps to the left, Easy right?" "Psht yeah of course, easy". It wasn't easy. Us being the smart people that we are (he's way more smarter than me though) could not figure out how to correctly move to this song the dance looked so awkward it was hilarious, It was perfect. (ugh cringe yes I know). Then other pop songs came on and we threw out some lame lame moves, I don't even know how to describe it. A slow song came on again, we danced awkwardly like 8th graders on purpose and he kept saying lame jokes. To finish off the dance they put on the song "The time" by The black eyed peas. That's when we ran to our theater group to sing along to the lyrics of the song as loud as we could. It was the best moment hearing the whole group of people in the dance start singing ♪I had the time of my life♪ with the biggest smile on everyone's faces. It was quite vibe, I literally felt like tearing up from seeing so much joy in one room. The song then picked up pace so that's when we started jumping around and The president took this chance to create a conga line. He screamed "Get in the line WOO" and slowly we all joined in to create a big circle while somehow managing to jump and scream "Cause I am having a good time with you i'm telling you!". Geek dude turned around and yelled to me "This is so Lit ahhh" (Literally have never seen him like this before). In the end when the song started coming to an end we all ran to the middle of the circle to jump even higher and start clapping and screaming.
   
      I am so happy I ended up going to my one and only homecoming dance. I am even happier that I got to spend that time with my friends and Geek dude. We were both nervous about being embarrassed with our bad dancing. But we both got over it and truly felt free and comfortable around each other. So Thank you!!

Sorry forgot to put in the story that we also kept throwing glitter at each other, and I found out he does the cutest face with his teeth making him look like a hamster,
Also the prodigy kept headbanging on the pop songs and in the last hour he managed to get crazy enough to wrap his tie around his head like a bandana, While Scorpio dude kept rocking out with him (Sophomores I swear are the funniest people ever).
And some of our counselors and principals started dancing with us HOW GREAT!
