A CLASS PARTY?

What is a party? It is when people come together and have fun. On December 20th 2012, our school organised a party (rather permitted us to organise a party). Everybody came in casual clothes, wearing all branded stuff, bringing expensive electronics to school, bringing truckloads of food etc. I was the best person to show up, as I didn't even bring a bag! No food, no electronics, only clothes and a bus card, which had to scanned by the bus driver with a bar code reader!

I never really wanted to show up, as I had had a headache, but that headache was always there in the morning from when I fell ill, the week before. It only stopped after I started sleeping till ten in the morning during the vacation which started the day after this party. I thought there would be nothing to do at home, so I went for the party. My partner in the bus was astonished to see me without a bag. "What the hell! How come you didn't bring anything?" I just told him that I never really thought of buying anything.

School was completely different that day, with the music in full volume, everybody thinking about fun rather than about homework or tests. People also started eating junk early in the morning. The party was to start at eight thirty, we had to arrange all the tables and chairs in such a way that, there was a lot of place in the middle to do stuff. But in our case, the party started at seven thirty! The thing was, it began an hour before the suggested time, but it wasn't a big hit.

The whole day went in people dancing to 'Gangnam Style'. I was the only one who wasn't involved, as I hate dancing or singing. What I meant is, I like songs and dances which are beautiful to o my eyes, but doing it; is damn different! Surprisingly most of the teachers never bothered to even enter the classes, they stood outside and started chatting with each other. There was no partying! Just eating, playing with electronics and at times, getting bored! Nobody cared about doing anything that would interest the whole class, everyone was in their own world!

The only time people got together was when they had to dance to 'Gangnam Style'. Trust me when you read this, they only danced to that song! Three hours of having fun, was three hours of one freaking song! I totally started hating the song after that day.

Describing the party is quite hard because nothing happened! All I remember is people either sitting and playing video games or eating when 'Gangnam Style' was not on. I was so dead bored. In the end, I had to start playing video games! GTA: LCS, Assasins Creed: Bloodline were games I had play due to the so called party! I thought that I should've stayed home, if I had to play games on a sumptuous PlayStation Portable.

Food was not a problem. Everything from chips to cool drinks to pizza to doughnuts to pastries were available! You even had your veggies on the pizza and fruits on the pastry! I ate not really to my heart's content, but enough to keep my stomach from grumbling for food until I reached home. Doughnuts may have been the first thing I ate during the party.

The only thing close to entertaining in the party was when two male teachers came in a danced to yet again 'Gangnam Style', but it was fun to see teachers dancing for a change. My friend and I who were one of those people, who didn't have any kind of electronic items, had to borrow it from others to have fun after the entertaining dance. We were completely helpless and bored! We were so bored that we wouldn't mind one of the teachers coming in and taking over the class. Even Biology didn't seem boring at that stage!

The unfortunate people who didn't come without electronics were sometimes forced to entertain themselves by gossiping about silly things. Things got a bit too naive over there. First time in the history of my parties did I want to get out of one! I could remember the party when I was in seventh, wherein most of the people showed off their talents rather than sitting in front of electronics. Everybody apart from me, of course! Singing and dancing aren't my cup of tea for sure. I was a mere spectator. Nothing more, but it still was fun.

On December 20th 2012, I was again a spectator, but a spectator of the most flop show ever. It must have been the slowest three hour party ever. But at last it came to an end! It was cleaning up time! At least something to do! I did it with great interest, it was way better than sitting in one place without doing anything. I think cleaning the class room was the best thing to be a part of in the party, rest all, don't get me started. This is just a bit of the boring things I had to go through, the other things are not very describable!

Going home was a relief, at least there were two weeks of winter holidays, and mostly enjoying it was the plan!

Hasta la Vista,
