The next day, every time I met him at my locker or spent moments at lunch with him left me in a state of complete bliss. I couldn’t wait until the dance! It was going to be absolutely perfect!

I left early Friday to get my hair done. I sat in my room doing my nails and trying not to move too much and mess up my hair before the dance.

I could barely eat dinner, in my stomach was a flurry of butterflies. I told myself I should eat a light supper or I’d be too full to dance.

I got dressed in my elegant gown and was just finishing up my make-up when I heard Cam arrive downstairs. My heart leapt into my throat and I smiled at my reflection.

I walked slowly down the stairs in my heels. Everyone was looking up at me. It was my Cinderella moment! I’ll never forget the astonished looks and praise I received. Mom took lots of pictures.

I clung to Cam’s arm as we headed out to his car. This was starting out so wonderfully fairy-tale, I hoped nothing would ruin it!

Cam opened the door for me and helped me in.
