Before the loft party started I met up with my friend from high school at the cafeteria. She was with her other friends that she met through SEEK and they were all really nice plus she helped me make new friends. The loft party didn’t start until 7 p.m. so we did our homework as we talked about a million irrelevant topics that just came to mind. We had snacks and shared them, but we were really hungry and kept talking about getting food every other 20 minutes. Alas, this didn’t ever happen and it was already time to go. The line was surprisingly long and I bumped into my other friends who I knew were coming. Our group of 6 became a group of about 11 and as we go closer and closer to the front of the line we saw that they were serving burgers and fries.
We were so excited to be getting free food and the burgers were so good although the fries could’ve been better. The party was starting so the lights were still on but the music was playing and people were already dancing on the dance floor. Once the lights dimmed everyone was still a bit timid and there were still a few people actually dancing. There was also jumbo chess, jumbo jenga and jumbo connect four. When I finished eating, my friends and I started to dance and our group became slightly bigger. At one point I stopped dancing because people started to fist furiously fist pumping to a bunch of songs. I actually almost got hit in the face because people were fisting pumps so quickly in such a small vicinity. People also started to pick up the chess pieces and fist pump with them in their hands. They did not put them down until the party was over and I was so afraid of someone getting into an accident. I made more friends while I was dancing and it was really exciting because at the end of the night there was a group of us ready to go out to eat.
We spent a really long time in front of the school trying to figure out where we wanted to eat. A bunch of ideas came up and we were obviously trying to figure it out for about 20 minutes. In the end, we just started to walk in the direction of 23rd to try to figure out what we wanted. Once we got to 23rd we started to walk down the avenues and we finally landed in Schnippers where we found a big table to seat all of us. I got a classic burger with cheese fries. The cheese fries were really bad and I was glad that I had gotten the cheese on the fries. My friend needed up giving me the rest of her Oreo milkshake and that was a turning point for me since now I was get a cookies and creams milkshake everywhere I go. At the end of the night I ended up taking the 6 to the 4 to Yankee Stadium and then taking the Bx13 home. I was really glad I went because I had so much fun and I made a lot of new friends.
