This is so surreal. I'm actually going to my Senior Prom, and I will be going with one of the most important people in my life. I have never been so excited in my life for anything else. If I never met Jack, I probably wouldn't be experiencing this, and I can't be more thankful for having him as a part of my life. Before I know it, it is time for me to get ready. My mom walks into my room with my dress in her hands.
"You ready?" She asks me. I look at her and give her a smile.
"Of course." I start to change out of my clothes and into the dress. After I am fully dressed, I look up at my mom and notice that she's tearing up. "You ok, mom?"
"Yes, you look so beautiful and so grown up." She then walks over and hugs me trying not to cry. My mom is always emotional about these things. To make it worse, I'm her oldest, so I'm the first one that experiences everything. To think I'm not even done getting ready. We walk into my parents' bathroom so I can do my make up and hair. After doing all of that my mom gets emotional again.
While I'm on the topic of my mom, let me add that she always takes a ton of photos of the moment. So, she took pictures after I got my dress on, and she's taking pictures now that I have my make up and hair done. We walk downstairs so I can throw on my high heels and take even more pictures of just me.
"Everyone come here!" My mom yells. Ugh, seriously? Just then my dad comes down and my siblings as well. She makes me take pictures with everyone. As soon as were done, I walk around in laps downstairs waiting patiently for Jack and the other guys to show up with their dates. Words can't express how excited I am to go to Prom.
I haven't been to a school dance since I was a sophomore when I was dating this kid Andy who took me to all of the dances. What makes it worse is that I have no idea what Jack has in mind for the night. He says he's got tons of surprises planned. I continue to walk around my house as I think about how excited I am to go out.
