Prom

D-Money is starting a podcast where he shares stories from his life. He talks about his high school prom experience and how his mom found him a date named Victoria. He was initially hesitant to go to prom without a date, but agreed if his mom could find someone for him. On the day of prom, he met Victoria for the first time and she turned out to be attractive and outgoing. He felt nervous but excited to be with her. Throughout the night, they danced and had a good time, but he had an embarrassing moment during a slow dance when he followed his mom's advice on how to hold Victoria, which made him feel awkward. Despite that, he had a great time with Victoria and appreciated the experience. He also mentions his friend Julian and how his date gave Julian a death stare. Overall, D-Money enjoyed his prom night with Victoria. Hey, what's up? It's your boy, D-Money. Welcome to the annual first episode of I Love My Life podcast. And pretty much this whole podcast, this is me sharing some stories about my life, you know, some crazy ones, some funny ones, sometimes sad ones, you know. I figure I make a podcast about it because I have so much stuff about my life that I figure I want to share it out to the world, you know. So first episode, you know, why not give it a shot, you know what I'm saying? So, I mean, right off the bat, I mean, like, I mean, I mean, there's plenty of stories that I want to talk about, but this has to be like a weekly thing because, man, like, I don't want to, if I talk about everything I want to talk about, it's going to take, I don't know, maybe weeks, weeks. So, like, I don't have that kind of time. So, I figure it's going to be a weekly thing. But right off the bat, you know, like, the story of, well, yeah, let me start off by saying this. Now, the stories I have in mind, this is something that really, like, honestly, just comes into my mind that I figure, you know, I want to, I figure I want to share it. So, right off the bat, the first story I actually, I actually kind of want to mention is my high school prom. Yeah, my high school prom. Oh, boy, this is going to be a troopy. So, does that mean a word? Whatever. But, so, so, it all started off with this. So, I was in high school. I, class of 2016, baby. Hey, what's up? How you doing? Class of 2016. And I think it was like three months before prom night. And at that time, I skipped a grade. I skipped a grade. I would, for my senior year, I was meant to be a junior year. But I did so many, like, that's a long story. All I know that I skipped a grade. So, I skipped a grade the senior year. And most of my friends were all juniors. They were pretty much all juniors. And I had nobody for seniors. Nobody for seniors. And I remember my mom telling me that for my last year of my senior year, I should do stuff that would seniors do. And I was like, no, I'm not interested. So, prom comes about. She told me that, first of all, I told her I don't want to go. And she told me why. And it's like, because I don't have a date. She's like, it doesn't matter. You can still do it by yourself. And I said, excuse me? You cannot, I'm sorry. You cannot go to a prom by yourself. It just doesn't work like that. Especially if you, like, come on, by yourself? Are you kidding me? My ass would have been miserable if that was the case, man. Are you kidding me? Hell no. So, we had this, we just kept going back and forth, man. And it came to the point where she's like, how about this? If I can find you a date, if I can find you a date, will you go? And I thought about it. I was like, well, sure, sure. If you can find me a date, I will go. She's like, alright, deal. So, the next day, I was at school. It was a completely normal day, you know, whatever. And I come home from school and she tells me, guess what? I said, what? I found you a date. Really? You found me a date just like that? Not even, not even 24 hours she found me a damn date. I'm like, okay, well, who is it? She tells me her name is, I'll throw her name out. I really don't care. But her name's Victoria. Victoria, huh? Okay, well, do you have a picture of her? Yeah, she shows me a picture. And my first reaction was seeing her is, my God, this girl's, this girl's smoking hot. This girl's freaking hot. I'm like, what? Like, I'm gonna go to prom with her. Let me remind you about something. When I was in high school, I was a nerdy ass guy. Nerdy ass guy. I was the kind of guy that would eat lunch, like in the hallways at the floor. I was that kind of nerdy, right? And it blew my mind. I was like, you're telling me I'm gonna walk into a building with that girl. I had, I've had people walk by me. Like, I remember people at high school would see me, like, like, see me and be like, hey, what's up? Like, actually, well, no, like, it was this one, this one douchebag. I'm gonna forget him. But like, I remember like, like, I remember he, I remember you just questioning me. Why am I eating food like in the freaking like, in the floor? And I remember telling him like, because I want to like, it's such a sad story. But anyways, but so I said, really, how'd it happen? Well, the way it happened is where there's this other girl who my mom was friends, friends with at the time, her name was Crystal. And Crystal is a girl that my stepbrother, which I could say his name, his name is Julian, as soon as he met Crystal, she had the hots for Crystal. Immediately, like, he, he, let's be honest, he wanted to get under the sheets. If I remember, he wanted to get under the sheets for Crystal, right? So, so I, so she hooked, so Crystal hooked me up with Victoria. No, she was friends with her in high school and they got along or whatever. So like, okay, perfect. Now, first things first, if I'm going to go, if I'm going to go to prom with her, I feel like I need to understand this girl. I need to, I'm that guy. I don't like, I need to understand who you are, your personality, your traits, you know, where you're from. Actually, not where you're from, but you know what I mean? The way she acts. I need to see what kind of girl I'm dealing with. Is a quiet girl? Is a crazy girl? Is a bitchy girl? I got to find out. So I asked my mom, could you ask Crystal about that? She's like, okay, yeah. So days go by, fam, days go by and no update from Crystal. And I'm like, I keep asking my mom, like, what's the update? I got to find out what's going on. And she tells me, man, there's no, she hasn't said anything. I'm like, well, I got to find out something because I refuse to meet this girl on the day of. I'm not a last minute guy. I'm not a last minute guy. I like to do stuff pre-planned, pre-planned. So nothing, nothing was going on. Nothing was going on. And I did get something from Crystal and she said that, that she was busy. Bullshit. Bullshit. Like, like, I, it's my favorite what people say that they're busy because when they say that they're busy, they're actually not. They'd be doing, like, they'd be doing stuff. When they say busy, I'm pretty sure they're doing stuff like, I mean, I don't know, doing groceries. And, uh, and after that, they get a car wash. And after that, they go home and watch Netflix. That's their kind of way of being busy. But I don't know, that's my opinion on that. The reason why I say that, because I've met so many people who'd be saying that shit. It's, that's, that's, uh, but that's just, that's just me. I figured, I figured I want to share that to the world. Hey, welcome to my podcast. That's what happens. But, um, so, so finally the day of prom, mind you, I never met this girl, never met her, never spoke to her, nothing. So now day of prom, right? So on the day of prom, I remember Julian coming up to, cause this is when he lived with my parents at the time. That's a whole nother story. I'll explain at some point, you know, sorry. But, uh, so he was living with me and my parents at the time. And, uh, he, he walked up to me and he asked me, Hey man, are you nervous? I said, nah, man, I ain't nervous at all. Like, why is it amazing, man? Like I'm pretty nervous, man. This is coming from a guy who was a ladies, man. This guy was a pimp. This guy, this guy had way more sex than I do. And this guy's coming up to me telling me that I'm nervous. I'm like, really? But now I wasn't nervous at all. And finally, uh, I remember my mom made corsages for me and Julian for our dates. And I remember, I remember she was like actively like training us on how to, how to go up to our date and put a corsages on them. I was pretty much like, Oh, you just gotta, you just gotta grab their arm closely and put the corsages on their arms slowly and make it feel like, I don't know, sensual, whatever. I was like, okay, buddy. So finally, so finally time's up. Now I, mind you, I said I wasn't nervous, but it was one of those things where it's like, I'm not nervous, but the time we start is starting to click and the time is time to come closer. Then I started to get nervous. Like my feel like my felt like my heart was beaten. Like it was like, ah, shit. Right. So, so I thought, and Oh, one other thing I forgot to mention. One thing I did hear from Crystal that my mom told me that, uh, that Victoria is a quirky kind of girl. I'm like, perfect. Like quirky kind of funny girl. I'm like, perfect. That's exactly me. Exactly me. And Oh, and also she's Puerto Rican. Oh, that's bonus. I'm Puerto Rican. So Booyah. So not that it matters. I mean, it's all, it's cool. I mean, it's not bad, but anyways, but, um, so I was like, okay, so, so she's a quirky, funny girl. Okay. How could I make a first impression of myself? Now, mind you, back then I was a dumbass. There's no denying that I was a dumbass. I was, so I had this great idea. How about I put on a Puerto Rican do rag and I wear sunglasses. And when I see her, I think I, if I remember, I just say, you know, she's Puerto Rican, you know, people who aren't Puerto Rican is like a famous Puerto Rican, like catchphrase. What does it mean? Uh, I would admit to you, I have no idea what it means. Uh, I should know, but I don't, that's my fault. But anyway, so I say, she sees me. She's like, Oh, Hey, how are you doing? And yeah, that was that. We took a photo with my parents, my, no, not photo with my parents, my parents took a photo of our dates, you know, wonderful. So now we get in the car, right? So mind you, Crystal's picking this up. So I was thinking, okay, maybe Julian, I don't know, maybe switch seats or something like that. And Julian, okay. Okay. I'm making this sound. Okay. Let me, let me take all that back. Cause I don't want people to think that I was sexist when I say that. No, no, no, no. I, what I'm trying to say is I thought, I thought, uh, that, uh, that, uh, that is not, well, there's no point of not, not the way I bite the, not, not forget it. But anyway, so, so, um, I'm getting in the car and we're sitting, me and Julian sitting in the back seat. So we're sitting in the back seat and, which is awkward for me because I like, I want to sit next to Victoria because I have the opportunity to look her eye to eye and talk to her and ask her like, who, like, tell me about yourself. That's what I crave for when it comes to the girls. I crave for like, like, I want to know about your life. What do you do? You know, blah, blah, blah. Tell me some funny stuff about you. Some interesting stuff, you know, like I want to know, cause I've been on plenty of dates where I mostly talk about myself. Back then I did. Now it's almost like I'm, I'm, I'm fed up with it. But, but yeah, but yeah, that's, that's me. So that wasn't the case. So that was awkward. And the only time she kind of spoke to me, like, like, uh, up there, like up there, she looked at me and she said, Hey, do you know this guy named Johnny? And I think I was like, yeah, I think I know. Johnny was this guy somewhere. Oh my God. He must have been one of my cousin's friends or whatever. So she was asking me about him. So I'm like, I don't, I think so. It's like, oh, okay. And that was that. And immediately I was like, are you shitting me? Like, are you shitting me? You're going on the date with me and this freaking girl is talking about a freaking guy already. Mind you, this girl is freaking hot. I could not, I could not get over the fact that this girl's freaking hot, beautiful, sexy. This girl was sexy fam. I mean, Jesus Christ. But man, if I was a girl, I want to look like her, like son of a bitch. So, so, um, finally we get up there, you know, I opened the door. I got over the fact how she's talking about the guys, like whatever. I'm just going to casually forget that. So I forget it. We get up there. I opened the door for her and she, and, and she puts her arm around my arm, walking up there. So mind you, at high school, back then, yes, I was dumb ass. I was a nerd, but man, I had no freaking game when it came to the girls fam. Bruh, like, like right now there's so much regret because the way I am now is completely different the way I was back in high school. Completely different. So at that time when she put her arm around me, I thought, I immediately was like, I'm freaking Elvis Presley. I'm freaking Elvis Presley. Cause I was a big fan of Elvis Presley. Still to this day, I am. The reason why I like freaking, uh, Elvis Presley, because the fact that, that, that all the girls wanted to bang him. And to me, I was like, man, I want to be like that guy. I want like, I mean, I mean, yeah, it's all cool at all girls want to bang me, but everywhere I go, I want girls to be like, oh my God, it's you. Like, like, I just crave for that kind of stuff. You know what I mean? So, so at the time, at the time that didn't, I didn't have that, but when Victoria came along, I'm like, man, I feel like Elvis, right? So we, so we get up there, we go inside and mind you, I heard quirky, funny girl, right? Also, also forgot to mention, I heard she was a quiet girl. Not even a second, not even a second into the building. This girl completely transformed. This quirky, quiet girl. She came all the way to freaking Megan Thee Stallion. This girl was twerking on me. Twerking on me. She's the first girl to kind of, kind of touch my dick. And I don't know, I did not know how to react because I was a virgin. I didn't know how to react. And I was like, huh? Like, and Julie was surprised because he ain't no virgin. He'd been having sex. I'm out of all three, probably 11 years old, 12 years old. He was a playa. I don't freaking know. So she's twerking on me. And I was like, huh? Like, I just like, screw that. Like, I'm gonna improvise. I'm gonna go with it. Of course, I'm improvising. Seconds in, not even a minute. Seconds in. This girl's on fire, fam. Oh my God. So we get in there, you know, we're all having fun, you know, whatever. And I remember the DJ playing some really shitty music. This one shitty song that I never, I will never forget because every club I go to, and there will be another episode about this, about clubs. But there was one song, it goes like, I don't care. I love it. I don't care. That bullshit, right? I, I hate that song to this day. Because they played that crap so much. And even, even when I'm thinking the song's over, okay, finally, song's over. They play the same song, but with some stupid DJ remakes. Like, I don't care. I love it. Ah, it's like, what the hell, bro? What the hell, bro? Oh my God. So, so besides that, you know, Victoria, she's doing her thing, bro. I'm like, I'm like a ghost. I'm like, what the hell? And like, this I also want to share. Here's one other thing about, about this podcast. When I talk about stories about me, I don't hold nothing back. I tell how it is. When she was twerking on me, no, no lie. I ain't gonna admit, bro. I was rock hard. I've never been so, I've never been so turned on in my frickin' life. My boner was frickin' top notch, bro. And, and, oh my God. Oh, the whole world's gonna, oh, the whole world is, oh my God. This is great. I love podcasting, Jesus Christ. So, so, so, so I have a boner and I'm wearing sensitive pants. Every guy would know if you wear sensitive pants and you get a boner, it's not the best thing. It's, it's the, it's pretty bad. It's pretty bad. So, so of course, so she, oh man, no, she didn't feel it that I think, I don't know, because I was frickin' rock hard. I quickly was like, hold up, Victoria, let me get some punch. Give me a minute. So I went back, not to get punched. Well, I did get punched. I did get punched anyways, but in reality, I wanted to quickly go back to some spot where I could put my dick on my waist. Bro, it was, it was very obvious. It was very obvious that I was so embarrassed that she was going to see it. That's, that was a teenager. So, and plus I was a virgin. I was embarrassed. I'm not supposed to behave. So went back, I frickin' put my dick on my waist and went back and I was like, all right, my dick is on my waist. She ain't gonna feel nothing. Let's go back to it. So now we go back to it. You know, she's still twerking on me. I'm like, man, I was like, man, thank you, God. Thank you, God. Like, like, what did I do to deserve this? I appreciate you, bro. And, and it was so funny also, because Julian, his date with Crystal, uh, he, so me going back saying that he was a pimp, there was one girl, one girl, I think he did, no, I, I don't know if he dated her or not. I might have to go back and ask him. But if I remember, I, I think he dated her, I think, or not. Who cares? I don't know at this point. I have to ask again. So, so he's looking at him and she's giving him like this death stare, right? Complete death stare. And, and Julian, he's standing there awkwardly. And I'm like, I got more action than you. I got more action than you. Cause back then, back then he was a bragger. Oh, he would brag to me how much woman he got at the time. Uh, yeah, he was that guy. Not, he's like that. He's not like that anymore now. But, uh, and, uh, and, uh, and another episode, I'll talk about, about him and more stories about him. I'll tell you, I got plenty with him. But, um, so I saw that, I started laughing. I'm like, I'm still getting twerked on, whatever. And, uh, so now we get to, in every prom, yeah, you got like the techno, you got like the DJ, you know, I put your hand in the air, you got like that kind of stuff. But then you got like the slow dances. Okay. This is where it gets kind of embarrassing. What I'm about to tell you, this, this still embarrasses me to this day. Cause like, I'm pretty sure everybody listening, everybody's had that moment where something awkward happens to them. And decades later, let's say you're working or whatever, minding your own business. And that same embarrassing story, like haunts you 10 years later. And you're like, Oh, God, fricking hell. Like, Oh my gosh. I still, I got that feeling because of what happened, what I'm about to tell you right now. So, and so we're, so we're slow dancing. Me and Victoria, we're slow dancing and we're holding, now we're also, we're holding hands. I'm thinking this girl, mind you, I was a teenager. She's holding hands with me and she twerked on me. I'm thinking this girl totally wants to fuck me. It's so obvious she wants to fuck me. But so, but that, that was my like teenage mindset. So now we're slow dancing. And it got awkward because I remember my mom telling me, and I feel ashamed that I listened to her because of this. She told me, Victoria is not your girlfriend. And because of that, you cannot really put your arm around her waist. Only put her hands on her side. And when you dance with her, you have to do, this is going to be hard to, hard to explain on a podcast because obviously you guys can't see me. So just picture hand on the side and holding Victoria's hand on the air. Almost like a tango thing. Like ballroom dancing. There we go. Ballroom dancing. There we go. Something like that. But I'm doing that to her, but it's slowly like, right? And everybody else around me, they're doing the whole, like the guy's grabbing the girl, like, like both, both his arms are around the girl's back and the girl's arms around the guy's neck. So everybody's doing that around me, except me. Except me. So, and of course, I'm looking at Victoria's eyes and like eye contact is, is romantic, but sometimes it's kind of awkward at some points. It depends on what you're doing. Like fucking, I could never look at a girl's eyes when I'm fucking. It's super awkward for me. Super awkward for me. Other guys could do it. Me, not. When I'm dancing, I like it because I don't know. It's like some Disney shit, bro. Like, I don't know. Like Beauty and the Beast shit. I like it. So I'm looking at her eyes and, and it's, it's romantic, but it's also embarrassing and awkward because it's like, I could tell she was awkward with this because I'm holding, I'm doing the ballroom dancing method. Like, it just like, it wasn't, it just wasn't working out. And plus, yeah, I knew it wasn't working out because I could tell that, like, I could tell she didn't like it. So I eventually, I eventually, I just let it go. And then, and then, and then she put her arm around my neck. And maybe she asked me, it's like, what was that for? I was like, I'm just so sorry. That's just, it's just, it's just my mom. My mom told me to do that. Why? Why would I say that? Why? Why the hell would I say that? And you see why? What a freaking loser I was back then, bro. Why would I tell this freaking hot ass chick, this hot ass girl? Oh yeah, it's like, just my mom told me that, you know, like, she has this thing. I was like, why? To this day, that still haunts me. But anyways, slow dance, it was over. I'm like, okay, thank God. Let's, let's focus on something else. So now the next song plays and you want to take a guess what they played? I don't care. I definitely don't care. Let's go outside. Let's go outside. So now we go outside. And now I guess, I guess it was me, her, Crystal, and Julian. Because now the four of us, now we're just, now we're just, just, I guess, just talking, just having a conversation. So I think, I think that pretty much the rest of the night, nothing else happened. I mean, like, I mean, I was so convinced that this girl wanted to take me to the bathroom stall and just suck my dick. Like, I don't know. Like, I just, I just, I just had that thought. But of course, that didn't happen, you know. But, but I did, I did ask her for her number. I remember I did ask her for her number and I don't blame her, but she was like, hey, I have a boyfriend. Now, when I say I don't blame her, I don't blame her for not taking my number or going out with me. Like, like, I don't blame her, but I do find it bullshit that, like, it's Wait a minute. You said boyfriend. If you had a boyfriend, I feel like you would not touch my dick with your ass. Two, you would not hold hands with me. And three, you wouldn't be here in the first place. If you had a boyfriend, you would have said no because, like, how, how would the guy feel if some girl was like, hey, I'm going on a date with this guy. I want to let you know, like, like, I want to know if you're, like, if you're okay with that. What the hell you think the guy's going to say? The guy's going to say no. Like, what the hell? No. So finally, prom's over. We're leaving. And we ended up eating up at a Steak and Shake. So we ate up at Steak and Shake, you know, like, we just sat down and, and talk, you know, whatever. And it was, it was such a normal date. It was such a normal date. And the reason why I say normal, because back then, I just didn't know how to talk to girls. I didn't have the confidence. Let's just say that. I didn't have the confidence. So the date was just a normal date. But, but, uh, so finally, it's over. We drop her off. No, actually, no. Crystal dropped us off at my parents' house. And I remember, I was graduating that year, and my mom was throwing me a graduation party. And, and I remember asking Victoria, like, hey, are you down to go to my Christmas, my graduation party? And of course, she's not interested in me. I get it. But she was nice enough and say like, well, you know, I got this thing going on, which is pretty much no. And I was like, okay, I understand. And then that was that. And that was really the last time I saw her. And that was in 2016. And I was literally like, I for like, three, like, I think, like, months after that, I was like, Victoria is the one I was obsessed with her dog. I was like, I've heard from my mom all the time is gotta be Victoria is gotta be Victoria. And she's like, why? Because she thought she did? Is that why she's the one? I was like, no, it's because she's beautiful. It is like, like, but, but yeah, let Yeah, I've never seen her to this day. But, uh, but, uh, if I was to ever see her again, I would just like to, I don't know, thank her and say, Hey, listen, you made me you made me a man that day. She did. Yeah, she made me she made me feel like I was the frickin man that day. Because the next day, the guys that the popular bro popular guides, popular guys in my high school that had so much girls, they were coming up to me. We're like, Yo, who would have girl you with last night? I was like, Hey, man. Yeah, like we see my girlfriend made completely bullshit. Like she had my damn girlfriend. My mom hooked me up with her. But yeah, so yeah. And also I want to mention, here's another newsflash. This I forgot to mention. I was Victoria's second prom date. See, my mind you, she already had her prom with some other dude at her school. And this dude was pretty frickin handsome, more handsome than me. I admit, he was one of those I call him a papi chulo. You know, he's one of those like, Hey, man. Hey, mommy, how you doing, man? How you doing? You know, like you got that type of dude, right? So I'm like, man, like, so that that was like, that caught me off guard. Like, man, I thought I thought I thought I was feeling special. Fuck. God dang it. But yeah, but besides that, you know, that was a hell of a time. She created a memory for me. I'll never forget for the rest of my life, you know, so but uh, I know she ain't listening. I know for a fact she ain't listening. But in the future, if she does ever listen to this, I just want to tell you Victoria, thank you very much for creating that memory for me. You created a story that I remember for the rest of my life. You know, like, I'll never forget it. I'll never forget it. So I greatly appreciate that. But uh, not like she gives a damn. If she doesn't, not that she gives a damn. But well, I don't know who cares. I'm just starting off my podcast and we'll see who I am. We'll see how I am in the future. But so but hey, that was a that was my inaugural episode of this podcast. I hope you enjoyed it. Because that was a hell of a that was a hell of a story that I that I said, I said it went deaf to there's another thing too. If I if I had to do this podcast, I gotta start drinking some water cuz damn bro like, how long was this podcast? Like, almost 20 almost 30 minutes. Jesus man. Yeah, my cuz my throat is killing me right now. So yeah, I gotta I gotta I gotta I gotta start drinking some water. But uh, but uh, hey, but uh, yep. So inaugural episode.
