Torsion

Recently, I had one of the worst expiriences with the opposite sex ever. I thought I would share it with you guys because I know most of you have been there and back.
Well, the occasion this weekend was the senior ball. Basically, the senior ball is basically a prom in which I am obligated to spend all my money and go to because I am obligated by society to do so. This year, the theme was called, "a night at the oscars". We were all supposed to be like celebrity actors going to an awards show. Fair enough; The theme at least sounded kinda cool. We were even having it at the killington grand hotel, which is a really nice area and ballroom.
My date this year was a girl who I met in school who I've been friends with for a while. We have never really been dating each other, but we have always had a good relationship. We seemed to get along quite well together as well. Since me and her were both single at the time, we kinda agreed like a month ago that we would go to the prom together. Although we were going as good friends, I probably would have liked to ask her if she wanted a more serious relationship because I thought we had good chemistry and we seemingly got along well together. She is quite good looking as well. Up until yesterday, she seemed very enthusiastic about going and were were making plans to have a great time. I let her do all the planning because she wanted to set it all up.
My first indication of potential problems was when i asked her when she wanted me to pick her up. She said that she wanted to take her dads car so that she could go back home if she got tired. She said she had to work during the day so she wanted to be able to leave if she got tired. I was a little concerned because usually the guy is supposed to pick up the date but I figured that it was okay because she just wanted to be able to leave if she got really tired. I even called her again and asked if she wanted a ride and i mentioned I could bring her home early but she still said no.
When I got to the restaurant I looked for her everywhere but could not find her. I should mention that it had been raining and thunderstorming all day and that it was stiflingly hot everywhere. Eventually I saw her with a group of people and went over to say hi. Basically, she said hi and then proceeded to pay no attention to me whatesoever during dinner. I bought her a bracelet thing with roses on it because that is the gentlemanly thing to do and she said thanks and put it on the ground. She had us seated with like 16 other people who were all mostly annoying. I had to listen to their mind- numingly boring conversations about stupid stuff the entire time. Later, she took a group pee break and during this time I am almost sure she threw away the bracelet I bought her.
This girl also has the worst table manners I have seen. In fact, almost all these people did. I had to pick this persons napkin off the ground three times over the course of dinner. My "date" started putting her half eaten salad back in the salad bowl. I was like, "what are you doing, other people might want some." She was like, "I dont care". After she was done, she started complaining because she did not have any cigaretes. I had no idea she smoked. She was like, "I need a cigarete right now!" Then her and 2 of her friends got up and left on a mission to go buy cigaretes.
Then, I was left in this place with these people who I hated and my date had left me. All the other people going to the prom were all leaving because they had gotten their checks. The reason we didnt was because our waiter was obviously stoned. See, the Killington area only hires the finest people. He was completely innept and made the first check wrong and kept messing up. We had to get the manager to get us seperate checks so we could pay. This took about an hour. The whole process was made more complicated because people kept leaving so we had to figure out who ordered what and whose money was whos. All this time I was feeling terrible because my date basically ignored and then deserted me on purpose.
After this fiasco I decided just to go up to the grand anyways because I paid $20 for a ticket. I had to arrive without a date which is very embarrasing because they have a red carpet and cameras and stuff so it sucked walking in alone. Once I actually got to the ballroom it was alright because I just hung out with my friends and stuff. It sucked though because I had to explain how I got stood up to everyone so i could explain why I was dateless. Still, there were a lot of kids who were dateless so it wasnt that bad. The music sucked though and the DJs were annoying as hell. They had some cool decorations and movie posters on the walls. At one point, the DJs put on some rock song and people started dancing "too much". Then they lowered the volume to bearly audible levels and people continued to dance. Eventually, they just shut it off and went to the next song. That part was kinda funny.
My "date" actually made an appearance at the prom and basically would not talk to me at all. So I just ignored her as well and had a good time as best I could. Everyone started to take off like an hour before the prom officially ended so I just left. I really was not in the mood for an afterparty at that point so I just drove home and went to sleep.
This was just a sucky, horrible expirience and I am very angry with my "date" I am never going to talk to her after that. She really was not the person I thought she was. How can you justify that kind of abusive behavior to yourself? I sure can not. Even if I had the ugliest date, I would never have ditched her as long as she was nice to me. I resent being excess bagage for some bitch who wants a free ride to the prom. I really hope women in college are better than this because everything I have expirienced in highshool just sucks. Its always the same old story. You think you know someone and they go and do something like this. I almost wish I was butt ugly, retarded, or missing some part of my body so I would not have to date these people anymore.
Hope you all enjoyed my little story. Any advice on what I should do to get back at her would be appreciated. :mad:
