Winter Whiteout

the double header game friday night was exhausting. it seemed like it would never end. i was so ready and energetic when the girls game started (we even won) but by the time we started second quarter in the boys game i was wiped out. i dont know why. i could not figure out how on earth i was going to possibly last through the winter whiteout dance aftwerwards. once we got out in the rain it was like a whole new chapter in the night. brad and i walked across the breezeway and lined up with kelly, jack, sarah and graham for the dance (four junior friends from marching band). i had no idea what i was about to encounter. it was my first high school dance and i was so naiive to think that it would be like the boring middle school dances where nobody knew what to do so all they did was jump up and down like idiots. no, it was a mass of hormone-enraged teenagers all grinding each other. the six of us got into weird pointed oval with jack in front, me and kelly next to each other, brad and sarah behind us sarah behind kelly brad behind me, and graham at the back. jack lead the way and graham pushed us into the thick group. im not sure why this happened, nobody could hear anything over the music, teh uppercalssmen all just aggreed on it and that meant we did too i guess. it was terrifying. the whole time i was wondering why i could feel people grinding my shins. at some points i seriously felt peoples asses in the back of me knees. at other times i couldnt even feel the ground beneath my feet and when i could people were stepping on my ankles and feet (thus giving me a few lovely bruises). all six of us fell down at least twice - poor kelly fell down like four times. but i found that for me it didnt matter if i fell or not because somebody knockes you down but you get pushed back up almsot immediately by somebody elses ass. it was a good system. it was so tightly packed that most of the time i couldnt move my arms at all and i didnt know what or who i was touching but im pretty sure that i might have grabbed some guys balls on accident. maybe thats why he gave me that weird look. when the group closed us in and we were no longer on the outside (id say about ten people in) graham started pushing us towards the center of the huge mass. we all agreed that it was like the deeper we got in the more alcohol we could smell. it was also so tightly packed that brads hips were involuntarily pressed into my ass, and my hips were pressed into kelly's ass (once we got into the group we became a single filed winding and very confused snake of six people).
were on the borderlines of the center when kelly got severed from our small snake. this guy and his girlfriend grind their past her, and poor kelly is looking up at this guy in pure horror. jack and i pulled her back in and she looked about ready to cry.
"THAT WAS MY NEIGHBOOOOORRRR" she yelled. "MY NEIGHBOR JUST GRINDED HIS.....EH.....ACROSS MY WHOLE BODYYYYYYY! HE DIDNT EVEN RECOGNIZE MEEEEEEE!!!!"
well THEN, and im sure you remember conrad right? well i got pushed between him and his girlfriend and its like he didnt even notice! he just kept grinding me and i was TERRIFIED absolutely TERRIFIED thought i was going to DIE but thankfully kelly saved me. when we got to the center we could. not. breathe. we were amid whirling, girating hips in a sea of bad breath and sweat. i screamed to kelly "I CANT TAKE THIS ANYMOREEEE" and some guy, think he was a senior, said "dont worry just find a lap base and stick with it thats what i do." i laughed really hard at that. finally we all squeezed our way out of the grinding teenagers and couldnt feel ourselves sweating therefore we concluded that we were covered entirely in other peoples sweat. we left half an hour before it ended and spent the time cooling off in the rain. it was marvelous. the winter whiteout dance was an extremely scary experience, named after the fact that you were supposed to where a white shirt to it (all i had was a tanktop and the straps kept falling down the whole time, only making matters like ten times worse, doncha think?), but you know what? i'd do it a gain. the winter gala is this wednesday after the girls game and i am going. cant wait. chao for nao
