The Teen Nightclub Debacle
I was at a 'Teen Nightclub'. I know that sounds insanely cringey, but it was actually pretty cool at the time. It was a safe place for teenagers to hang out, stay out of trouble, and it really did look like a Nightclub. They just didn't serve alcohol. And they had a reverse age limit at the door. You had to be 19 and younger to enter. The place ended up getting shut down because they ran it a little too much like a night club. They started hosting 'dance competitions' for the girls. It started out innocent enough, but of course got raunchy pretty quick.
Anyways, before the shut down, me and my friends were regulars. It was so much fun, and we all loved to dance. Now, what you need to know is, though I love to dance I'm an AWFUL dancer. Absolutely terrible. Add onto that I am 5'6 and was a good 5-6 inches taller than all my girl friends, and my tits had just came in brand spanking new. I was an awkward mess. I was 15-16 years old at the time.
The incident I'm about to share still pops into my head at night, right when I'm about to fall asleep, and makes me cringe so hard. I end up awake for hours remembering the embarrassment.
So, I met a boy. In fact I met lots of boys, but growing up with super strict parents, I didn't really waste my time with guys because I knew it couldn't go anywhere. Well one night, one of these boys got past my defenses. He was sweet and nice, instead of cocky and brash. Ever so slowly, every Saturday night he would find me, and we would talk and eventually dance. Now I told you guys I was a bad dancer right? Thing is, you couldn't tell because the dance floor was so packed, there was hardly room to move, you just kinda gyrated against each other, and everyone else around you. (Seriously have no idea how this place stayed open as long as it did, lol)
One Saturday I came in, excited to see my first real crush, the first time I let myself fall for a guy. His friends cut me off. Turns out he was there with his girlfriend... They didn't want her to see me. They kept trying to tell me he really cared about me, and he would break up with her soon...
I was livid. I was embarrasses beyond belief as well. How dare he! Well my stupid 15 year old brain decided I need revenge, and the best revenge would be to join the dance competition. So I joined and waited my turn, which was basically last. I tried last minute to back out, but the grown ass men running the competition wouldn't let me. So soon enough I'm up, standing under a spot light, and I realize this is a HUGE MISTAKE. I was also wearing a borrowed dress. I told you guys my parents were strict right? Well I didn't have 'club attire', so my best friend loaned me a bandana dress. My best friend was just under 5 feet tall, I was 5'6. So yeah, this thing was shoooort on me.
So I'm on the dance floor, spot light on me, no other people on the dance floor to hide my terrible dancing skills. Trying to shake my booty, and boom! I shook the dress up over my butt. And I was wearing a thong for the VERY FIRST TIME EVER. So yeah let's recap. Can't dance, too tight dress, butt out in the open for everyone, including the guy I liked and his girlfriend to see. I was mortified!
Never went back.
