Red Carpet Affair

So last night I attended the Red Carpet Affair. It was a dance only for 8th graders from Adams and Madison. It was pretty fun, 7 to 9:30, and semi-formal. I wore my black dress, my grandma's bracelet, her necklace, and my aunt did my hair and makeup. I thought I looked great! Black is slimming you know, and when i got there I was really excited and nervous. I didn't have a date but I was pretty ok with that. At first my friends and I just kind of hung out near the wall, but once it got darker and the music got good we were dancing and having tons of laughs! My heels hurt so bad that I had to take them off.

I had my first slow dance ever,with Dustin, it was only for a few seconds, but it was enough to make me feel really nervous. Everyone kept awwwing and giggling at us. Then he went back to his girlfriend. It was pretty funny, but we were barely dancing because he kept poking me in the stomach. I glared at my friends because they kept dancing. But at least I had my first slow dance, I never did that before.

We were dancing and having fun when Jeanette started freaking out, some teacher that she had a restraining order against was at the dance and the teachers wouldn't do anything about it. She was being really negative and I understood why she was so upset. But the chick was on the opposite side of the room! And it was a huge room! She wouldn't let us try to make her feel better and finally I just told her I gave up and walked away. It seems like that jogged her out of her self pity, because after that she stopped crying and stuff and actually had fun.

It was near the end that I got really bored, they started playing a lot of slow songs so Jesla and I just sat at a table, I didn't know mostof the songs at the end. I wanted to spend the night at Becca's after the dance, but she already asked Katie. And both of us can't spend the night because we don't get along when we are all together at her house. It's because Becca makes Katie sleep on the floor so I will sleep on the bed with her, and since I don't agree with this Katie and I usually sleep on the floor together and leave the next day together. Becca thinks that we gang up on her and are really mean, but we aren't. She just doesn't want to make things even between us all, she wants everything for her, and is always yelling at us not to touch her stuff.

So I have been staying at my aunt's since Thursday, my mom and sister went out of town for my brother's wedding, I stayed because of the dance and because I didn't want to miss school. It won't be a big wedding, they are just going to sign the papers and then everyone will eat cake. I am sorry I missed it, but I am happy that I avoided any drama.

My aunt dropped me off at home so I could hang out here by myself. I don't really like being at my aunts, she bickers with her husband a lot because he acts like a child and is very tempermental. And, I don't know what to do with myself, it's just awkward. She almost didn't let me stay at home for a while because apparently people have been walking in the house without permission when my mom was home alone, people that knew the old owners and thought they still lived here. So she stayed in the driveway until I went through the house and made sure it was secure. Which is nice of her, but unneeded. The door was locked, both the back and front and those are the only ways to get in the house, most of our windows don't open.

Now I am blasting Pandora, and writing this post. It is so nice to be home alone! I really wish my mom had let me stay home alone. I am perfectly safe, I lock all the doors, and I play music so people know someone is here, that way it scares away the wimpy robbers. I am mature enough to stay home by myself. At least I only have one more night at my aunt's, then my mom and sister will be coming back and I can stay home.
