Baton Rouge Cotillion

Last Saturday was my first high school cotillion dance. For starters things were not looking good, one of my mom's friends decide that she wasn't available to chaperone the dance so she called my mom to see if she could; well of course my mom had to say yes. That was the beginning of the nightmare, my mom was totally going to embarrass me! We had to leave a whole hour and a half earlier to pick up Annie and be there early to setup. I had to take my curlers out in the car because I didn't have enough time to get ready. Once we got downtown, we parked and started walking to the dance. While we were walking we heard the sound of a car backfiring; Annie and I completely freaked, we thought it was the sound of someone shooting a gun! When we figured out it was just a car we relaxed a little and kept walking.

After walking for awhile we arrived at the dance. The dance was Great Gatspy theme so we had on boas and the feathers were falling out everywhere. Arriving at the dance was extremely awkward, because we had no idea what to do to we just stood there and talked, till people started to show up. My mom ended up at drink stand so at least she wasn't one of the parents walking through the crowd seeing if anyone was inappropriately dancing, drinking, or taking drugs, that would of been extremely humiliating. Once we found our friends and other familiar faces we started to dance and have fun.
