JR. High Dance

Tony36

There she stood at the far end of the gym

Red dress

A blue sash around her waist tied in a bow in the back

Raven black hair in a ponytail

The biggest and brightest Emerald green eyes

Focused on me

 

I stood at the entrance

Black slacks

Black dress shoes

White dress shirt

An awkward jr. high student

Nervous to

 

Our eyes met

We crossed the floor to each other

Hugged

Then stepped on to the dance floor

 

She glided along the floor

Like gravity could not touch her

I on the other hand

Stumbling

Clumsy

Oaf

She did not seem to notice

Nor seem to care

 

We danced a little

Had refreshments

Sat on the bleachers and talked a little

 

After the dance

We held hands and walked to the front of the school

Where our parents were waiting

 

We hugged once more

said we'd see each other in class on Monday

Then departed to our parent's cars

And went home
