Dance? Or Animalistic Mating Ritual?

Being a homeschooler, I never had the high school experiences that are apparently a crucial part of the growing up process. So my friend decided to give me an experience that I likely will not ever forget. Last week I attended a high school dance.
After walking into the room just outside of the dance floor, I quickly found my best friend waiting to greet me with the familiar warm hug. After the embrace however, the feeling of eyes drilling holes in the back of my scull as well as burning through my dress and heels was overwhelming. The incredibly strong feeling of discomfort was coursing through my veins. The feeling was unpleasant, instead of the natural cooling sensation of adrenaline running through my veins, it felt more like icicles. The night was off to a fantastic start.
The dance floor was an experience all its own. My initial reaction after scanning the entire room was that of surprise. The girls and boys who were standing in the room before had now filed onto the dance floor. Once they began dancing, it was as if they were animals that had just been let out of their cages. The modest girls that I had seen just minutes ago outside now had their dresses hiked up to their stomachs dancing with their partners in a manner that made me want to avert my eyes. This was a mating ritual. Watching this made me realize we are nothing more than animals with the ability to speak.
