Valentines Ball - Fail.
So a few years ago, when I was in year 7 everyone got invited to this 'valentines ball'.
And tbh it wasn't for everyone- it was only for year 7s & year 8s.
All the year 7s were super excited and they talked about it for weeks. Whereas, the year 8s didn't really care. I remember how everyone was super nervous because they didn't have a partner. Only 2 people in year 7 were in a relationship (one of them was my friend xD) and so loads of people started to ask others out. Most of them got rejected anyway. o_o
My friend who had a boyfriend, was probably the most excited one of them all. She kept talking about it when I was going home.
Me: What are you going to do when you will go home? xD
Her: Um… Shower. :D
Me: Oh t-
Her: Then shower again. :DD
Me: Oh aga-
Her: Then shower AGAIN. :DDD
Me: 3 tim-
Her: AND AGAIN :DDDD
Me: …
Back then I was thinking why would she shower so much. I thought it was because she is just very, very hygienic. Idek.
But now, I think I know why she wanted to shower so much.
…
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
^ That failed lenny face though.
So when I got home I planned to go out at 17:20 so that I'll get there at 18:00. I got home from school at 3:30 at spend an hour watching youtube videos.
"I'll just spend 5 minutes watching this video!"

When I got there my 2 friends C & S were waiting for me.
S: Wow you're so late.
C: We thought your not going to come…
Me:
It's 18:02…
Anyway. The set up was really amazing. It looked like a real ball. But the people there… yeah.
Some people brought real prom dresses and did their hair. Others simply wore a jumper and jeans.
So the school really expected us to have a partner, to slow dance and all that stuff. Well that failed.
Expectations:
Reality:
Yes, we had a ballon fight on a ball. Blame the school xD
They had like 500 balloons on the floor.
I don't know why they called it a "valentines ball", it was more of a "awkwardly stand still and stare at other people ball during valentines day". Then some genius got a balloon and slapped someone with it.
10 seconds later and BAM! More than half of the people were balloon fighting (Ik that's not a thing xD).
10 minutes later and BAM! Pretty much all of the balloons disappeared because they popped. There was a massive crisis. There was only around 10 balloons left, and everyone was running around trying to steal a balloon of someone. I remember how I had 1 balloon and tried to hide under the table with it, but my friend who had a BF (I'm gonna call her that now xD) stepped on it and RIP BALLOON. T^T
After that, everyone just awkwardly danced.
Teachers: We're making a dance competition! Get into groups of 5! Winners get a prize!
Although I have terrible stage fright I still decided to do it. I mean ThErE iS a PrIzE!!!! So there was 4 other groups, including my group.
Teachers: OKAY YOU HAVE 10 SECONDS TO PRACTISE YOUR DANCE AND GO.
Me: WHAT?!
First of all, I can't plan a dance in 10 seconds. D:
Second of all, GANGNAM STYLE? The only dance we can do is the gangnam style dance tbh.
So again, expectations of our dance:
Reality of our dance:
It just really failed. And I embarrassed myself in front of everyone. o__o''''
There was this group that danced really well, there was even a person who could do the worm and the splits in their group.
This gif creeps me out.
But, these popular girls went on the stage and danced the gangnam style dance. (Just like us) AND THEY WON. Everyone was saying how un-fair it was, I mean they won only because they're liked and popular. D;
So I thought the prize was some trophy.
Or at least a shoe. (idk why)
But it came out to be a box of chocolates that the school brought from poundland.
And that's it. o_o
This was a really long post xD
