For the rest of the week, everyone in school was preparing for the Homecoming game and dance. You, Kendra, and Gwen got your tickets, dresses, having pictures taken at your house, and plan on eating at Outback Steakhouse for dinner. It's crazy to think that the last Homecoming is just around the corner.

The unbelievable happened! When the Homecoming court was announced, you were one of the five girls on the ballot. How? How is that possible? You had no idea how you could've gotten on the ballot. It's just a popularity contest and you HATE stuff like that. There's a staggeringly low chance that you'll get crowned, but you never know.

~~~~~~~~~~

It's now Friday, which was the night of the Homecoming game. You had all of your easy classes and no rehearsal, so the day should be easy. And, it was.

You got home, did any homework or studying, then got in the shower. You dressed in a white dress with little, blue flowers, brown sandals, and your jean jacket. You also put on your class ring, courage bracelet, and best friend infinity ring. Your parents got home and they got ready for the game. All three of you piled into your mom's car and drove to the football game.

You guys got your tickets and went up to the bleachers. You found Kendra and Gwen at the top. You went to the announcer booth to give the announcer your notecard that has your Homecoming court announcement.

It was almost halftime, so you left the bleachers to find your dad. At halftime, the Homecoming court gets announced and crowned. Each candidate is escorted by one of their parents. Boys with their mothers and girls with their fathers. You and your dad went to where the others on the court. Everyone got in order based off of grade level and alphabetically by last name.

All of the freshmen, sophomore, and junior candidates have already been announced and it's time for the seniors. You were third in line.

"Y/n L/n. Y/n is escorted tonight by her father. She is a member of the Spanish Honor Society, National Honor Society, and is active in the theatre program. Over the summer, she earned the role of Kelsey in the movie: the Scorch Trials, which is the second movie in the Maze Runner franchise. Y/n plans to attend a two year community college, then transfer to a four year university to become a teacher." the announcer said.

The last two senior girls were escorted and announced, then the senior boys. Now, comes the hard part. The crownings. The freshmen, sophomores, and juniors got crowned, now for the seniors.

'The other girls are popular, they gossip and, have presence on sports teams and social media. But you have something they don't, you were in a movie.' you thought.

You snapped out of your thoughts from the cheers from the bleachers. They crowned the senior boy as Homecoming King. Now, for the Homecoming Queen...

You didn't win. A girl named Liana got crowned Homecoming Queen. Just goes to show that popularity wins every time. You all cleared the field for the marching band. You went to the bathroom to change. You put on jeans, tennis shoes, a long sleeved shirt, and your school sweatshirt. You went to the concession stand to get something to eat. You walked back to the student section. You met up with Kendra and Gwen at the top. They kept on telling you over and over that you should've won.

Your school won the Homecoming game.
