Its only a matter of time before the girls of Kennedy High School start going crazy thinking about WPA. For all of you that don't know what this is, WPA stands for Women Pay All. It's a dance. WPA is coming up in the beginning of March, and the girls have to ask the guys this time. We also pay for the tickets, the dinner, and the pictures. At the rate this is going, I need to start saving my money now.
At the beginning of the year, before I had even met Elliott, I came up with this brilliant idea of how I wanted to ask my date to WPA. I had no idea who I wanted to ask, but it would be perfect if he happened to play basketball. When I started dating Elliott, this idea became perfect because basketball is his life. So I went out and bought a mini basketball, some rhinestones, and some glue. My plan was to write WPA? in big letters in rhinestones on the ball, and somehow surprise him with it. About a week ago, I started putting my plan together. I made the ball perfectly, and I couldn't wait to give it to him. I decided I was going to give it to his 4th hour teacher, and somehow have his teacher surprise him with it in the middle of class. I thought there was no point in officially asking him, because I assumed we were going together anyway, but my plan was so awesome I couldn't pass it up. So I planned to give the ball to him this past Tuesday. Everything went perfect, and he told me he loved the ball and the idea was really great. But he didn't respond to my question. I let it slide, hoping maybe he would somehow surprise me with a "yes" later in the day.
School got out, and still no response. I was pretty impatient, so I asked him if he was gonna respond. He said he didn't know what to do, because he didn't like dances. He says he's an awkward dancer, and doesn't want to embarrass him or myself. Elliott stands at a whopping 6'6'', so saying he's awkward may not be an exaggeration. He's a basketball player, so he's not that awkward, but I still can't picture him dancing. I was shocked by his response. How could he be so selfish?! This is my dance, and it's my last WPA because I'm a senior. I do everything for him ((that's a whole other story)) and he can't sacrifice one night to make me happy.. I started to get upset. He explained why he was hesitating, and asked me if I could teach him to dance. I agreed, hoping maybe teaching him would encourage him to come to WPA with me.
So tomorrow will be our dance lesson day. After the Varsity basketball game, Elliott will come over and I'll attempt to teach him to dance. I'm not a fantastic dancer myself, but I'll have to teach him what I know. I'm kind of nervous because I don't know how to teach a guy to dance. This would be a lot easier if I was trying to teach a girl. I'm also really hoping this convinces him to go, because I don't want to fight about it.
I'll update on how it goes later [<3]>
