Inappropriate Staring
Compared to previous years, Clare and her friends saw several chaperones inside the room. The fathers of the students, who stared down from the balcony, were many of the observers. It was to keep an eye on the people in attendance. They might have glanced down at the event to watch the girls dance. The girls were becoming uncomfortable with the atmosphere of prom night.

Uneasy Feeling
It was apparent that it would feel uncomfortable for the girls who saw the situation, especially when several parents would watch and observe them for the entire event. The students were aware of why the chaperones kept a close watch, and it was because they wanted to enforce the dress code strictly. From tracking the dresses and ensuring that the outfits were not short, the parents were collected.
