Night of the Dance. Oona's house. 1 hour before dance. Oona POV:
I invited Deema and Molly to my house so we could get ready for the dance. It was the probably the second funniest experience that we had together.
We had to help Deema with her hair, since she was having a lot of trouble with straightening it. But in the end, she looked stunning!
Molly wore her hair in a fishtail braid. It took a couple of tries for her since she kept on letting on of the braid, or dropping the hair ties.
I took my hair out of it's usual long pigtails and curled it.
Then, we put on our dresses. Deema wore a bright red dress that had an asymmetrical ruffled neckline. Molly wore a sky blue strapless dress that had a sparkling belt. I wore my white lace dress that was simpler, but still beautiful.
Deema kept on saying that we should wear heels. No. Just no. I don't any blisters when I dance!
As for makeup, none of them really knew how to do it, so I helped them.
"Oona, how did you get so good at doing makeup?" Molly asked.
"Um. I guess watching Michelle Phan paid off?" I said.
We got in my dad's car and we drove off to the school. We cranked up the radio and we were singing along to Bad Blood by Taylor Swift. I'm surprised that Dad didn't mind.
We got out of the car, feeling the harsh cold of winter. I looked up to the sky and stuck out my tongue to catch a snowflake.
Then, we walked inside the school.
Deema and Molly met up with their boyfriends. I was waiting by the entrance for mine.
"You look beautiful."
I turned around to see Nonny in a white button-down, a black tie, and some black dress pants.
"Thank you. You look very handsome." I replied. Then, hand in hand, we went off to the dance floor.
Oh my god. Gil and Goby were trying to get Nonny to do the Whip and the Nae Nae. Deema was confident enough to do it, although it was terrible, so was Molly. I resisted the temptation to avoid embarrassment.
"Oh my god!" Molly exclaimed. "There's karaoke! We have to go try it!"
She dragged Deema and I took the small stage and the boys followed.
Deema went all out with the song Bad Blood by Taylor Swift. She must really like her!
Molly sang Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus. Brings back the good old times.
I was pushed onto the stage and I stared at the quiet crowd. I didn't know what to do anymore. Then, I saw my only friends' reassuring smiles and I picked up the microphone and started singing If I ain't got You by Alicia Keys.
I kept my eyes on Nonny and blocked everything out. All of my nervousness and worries were washed away. When I finished, I actually heard applause. Not just from my friends, but also from other people. Teachers, staff, and students. It felt like dream just to hear the sound.
Then, we went back to the dance floor. A slow song was playing. We danced with our partners, and it was. . . Amazing.
After that, we just hung around the dance floor. Deema and Gil were being their stupidly funny selves, then Molly and Goby joined along on the dance floor. Nonny and I were watching them, laughing at their every move.
I excused myself from the dance and went to the bathroom. The moment I closed the wooden door behind me, I got drenched in ice cold water. I looked up to see Addison and her stupid clique. Shit.
Oh my god. The dress that Oona wore is basically the white dress from Sam Smith's music video I'm Not The Only One. It's so pretty and I kinda want a dress like that.
