Halloween Mixup

It was Halloween of 2007. My best friend and I were all dressed up and going to another friends party. We had never been to the house where the party was at before. We had a little trouble finding it. We drove around aimlessly for awhile until we thought we had finally found it. We walked into the house and we didn't really see anyone we knew. We were also the only ones dressed up in cute Halloween costumes. Everyone else had really serious, scary costumes on. We thought maybe we would just check upstairs and see if that was where are friends were. As we walked around everyone was staring at us. We got upstairs and still did not see anyone we knew. By now we had concluded that we were in the wrong place. We tried to make a quick exit and not attract any more attention. That didn't work out so well. On our way out, we ran into a girl we went to high school with. We knew each other, but we didn't exactly run with the same crowd. In the most awkward and forced way she tried to be nice and say hi. You could tell she was thinking what the heck are they doing here. Finally she was like "so who do you know here?" My mind was racing trying to think of something to cover our mistake, but I had nothing. I didn't want to say we had just walked in to the wrong party. I thought my friend would have my back, but she just started laughing and walked away. With no other choice I just made something up. I said, "John is a friend of a friend." I guess I got lucky or she just felt bad for us because she said, "Oh ok that's cool." After that we got out of there as soon as possible.
