Behind the Scenes
Chapter 17
I looked at myself in my dress one last time before everyone was going to pick me up. 
My hair was put up with a bunch of pins in a messy updo.  I looked down at my black Converse sneakers and smiled.  Claire and Shelby were against the whole sneaker thing, but I wore them anyway. 
They were my favorite part of the whole outfit.  I bit my lip, and applied some mascara on my eye lashes.  I screwed the top back on the mascara tube and grabbed my purse.
I walked down stairs, and as soon as I got in the car, people scooted over to make room for me in the back. 
Once we all got to the dance and gave the staff our tickets in,
I saw that the gym was completely transformed. 
There were streamers everywhere.  There were tables with white table cloths on them and a bouquets of roses everywhere.  Glitter was all over the floor and there was a dj in the back with huge speakers.  People were already out dancing. 
I saw Lindsey dancing with some guy from my 5th hour.  I hadn't seen Luke yet though. 
I was looking around for him, when Claire took my hand and dragged me into the bathroom. 
The womens bathroom was packed. 
There were girls everywhere touching up their eyeliner and putting on lipstick.  I pretended to fix my hair, as I waited for Claire who was in one of the stalls.  Me and Claire just had this thing that if one of us needed to go to the bathroom, the other one would have to come with us. 
It's always been like that for us ever since we became friends in first grade and used the buddy system on the field trip to the local zoo. 
Once we both came out of the bathroom, Claire went to go get some drinks. 
I was about to follow her when I saw Luke walking towards me.
