Summary

Ever been personally victimized by a school dance? Amber, Ashley, and Julie relive proms, awkward slow dances, and the humiliating moments that somehow led to new friendships. Ashley talks about having a shaved head, we learn Amber’s mom tricked her into going to a dance, and that Julie tried on every prom dress at Macy’s. Along the way, the gals wonder what happened to all those people whose names they can’t remember, question whether some teachers just suck, revisit Saved by the Bell and that iconic Zach and Kelly first kiss, and yes, someone is accused of witchcraft.
