Our Homecoming Dance was this past Saturday. It was awesome - Lindsay won Homecoming Queen! I was so excited.

The dance was fun. Molly and I got there early to decorate and set up. I was in charge of selling tickets and spent the first half hour of the dance waiting for Lindsay and Josh to get there. Molly finally made me take a break because I was getting worried that Lindsay had chickened out and wasn't going to show up.

I went out and danced for a little while and then returned to the table and saw Lindsay and Josh standing there talking to Molly. I was so relieved to see them. Lindsay looked gorgeous and Josh...he always looks gorgeous.

I went back to selling tickets with Molly and Lindsay and Josh went into the dance. That's when Alex and Becky showed up. Molly looked like she was going to jump over the table and strangle Becky. Molly's crush on Alex gets bigger and bigger the more she can't have him. Before I didn't think it was that genuine, but now I think she really likes him. She was kind of bummed the rest of the night.

Once the first hour of the dance was underway we closed up shop and went to have some fun. Molly and I hit the dance floor - conveniently close to Alex. Molly was shaking her thing all around him!

They played the song "Pretty Woman" and Alex and I danced a Cha Cha. At least all of our work is starting to pay off - he actually looked pretty good! I also slow danced with this guy, Nick who is always hanging around me. He's a nice guy, but I have no interest in him. In fact, I was staring at Josh the whole time I was slow dancing...wishing I were in his arms.

A little later in the evening Lindsay was starting to get nervous about the Homecoming Court. She and Jennifer disappeared in the ladies' room for a while so I got a chance to dance with Josh. It was a fast song though...Usher's Yeah!

The Homecoming Court was next and I stood there hoping and praying that Lindsay would be selected. When they called her name I cheered. I was so happy for her! She and Josh had to dance a special dance together, and then I got to congratulate her. I gave her a big hug and she thanked me for helping her get a date. Then she said that I better get some dances in with Josh before the night was over. I felt weird about it though...I know that there's nothing between Josh and Lindsay but he was her date for the evening.

I spent most of the rest of the night hanging out with Molly and counseling her on the situation with Alex. Towards the very end of the night Josh walked over and insisted that I dance with him. I finally got my slow dance!

I can't explain it though...I live for those few moments when I'm that close to him, but I get so caught up in it that I can hardly enjoy it. I just remember that he was holding me very close and that he smelt and felt so good.

After the dance I had to clean up which took an hour. Then we met up with Lindsay, Josh, Jennifer, and her date for a late night snack. Lindsay and I went into the bathroom and she started telling me how great Josh had been all night. I started to get a little worried and asked her if she was developing a thing for him. She assured me that she wasn't and that she knew I liked him.

Josh gave me a ride home. When we got there he said, "I think I forgot to tell you how pretty you looked tonight." He's so sweet!!!!
