A destruction

Prom, for me, is the most awaited part of a student’s high school life. As what our teachers said, it is where we could interact and find friendship between the third year and fourth year students. When I was still in third year, I was very shy especially in the announcing of the pairing. It was mainly because I look up to the fourth years as my elder brothers and sisters and I respect them a lot. I see to it that I don’t give my partner a headache when we were to practice in stage. We were also to do our best in our presentations because the prom was likely a tribute to the seniors. And now that I’m in fourth year, I hope that the juniors would feel the same respect as we felt before. I also hope that they would take things seriously.

While we were in our classroom, one of our classmates announced that the pairing would be held in the afternoon. Some didn’t say anything but most of us disclaimed because we still have a make-up class and it would take us a long time to go home. The pairing took place in the covered court because it was raining that time. The first who was paired were our fourth year boys with the third year girls. After which, it was already the girl’s turn. My partner was Adrianne Paul Entese. I knew him a little because he was one of the most misbehaved students among the third years. At first, I said that I hate him to be my partner but later, I decided that as an elder sister to him, I should be the one to guide him because having a prom is not new to me anymore. We started practicing the whole event. My partner, as what I see, is not that serious. There was a time when we were called and he was not attentive enough so the teacher called us more than once. He also doesn’t know how to put his partner’s hand in the proper position. Adrianne took every practice as a joke. Last Friday, we practiced on our dance for the prom and I really had a hard time practicing with him. I don’t know but he doesn’t follow instructions and always make fun of me. I really feel bad but I just hold my temper because it would be shameful if I scold him in front of all those people. At last, it was the turn of the second pair and I was able to rest. I felt worst because I was not able to sleep the night before for I have to do some work and he was acting like that. I cried because I don’t understand my feelings anymore. I was very sleepy, stressed out, and he was adding to my problems.

During the prom, I hope he would behave and act as manly as possible. I also hope that my last prom won’t be the worst I’ll have.
