Take It Back to Prom Prom night is full of expectations and sometimes complete left turns. Hear from this year’s Fringe models on how they fared during the “best night” of high school. KINDI FREY

Prom was awesome. I got to wear a tuxedo for the first time and go with the girl I had a crush on for the entire year — cheesy, I know. Two of my friends decided to flex and rent a limo for us and our dates, and we popped champagne during the ride. The only issue was that my friend’s cousin was driving the car. I thought I’d never make it to prom alive.

My prom was at The Fonda Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard. All I remember is a bunch of kids getting thrown out for sneaking in drugs or showing up plastered. They had free donuts, but the music sucked. The after-party was a good time.

I didn’t want to go to prom, but I was expected to anyway. My parents threatened to make my cousin take me if I didn’t agree to go with a boy — any boy — from school. So I went. The best part was leaving. My date, male best friend and I sped down the highway in my dad’s sports car with all the windows down as music blasted and my hair flew everywhere. I dropped them off at a party and made it blissfully home by midnight.
