Homecoming: a school dance that occurs once a year. It’s the day where guys pull out their ties and girls go out and spend their parents’ hard earned money on the perfect dress. I’m not sure how it works in the guy world, but in the girl world, there are some unspoken rules.
One: You don’t buy a dress just because you like it. Your first thought is to buy a dress to out-dress every other girl there. The dress you buy has to look expensive, and has to be a dress no other girl is wearing to the event. It has to complement your figure, but still have the “wow factor.”
Two: The guy has to ask the girl to homecoming, not the other way around. Girls ask guys to WPA (women pay all), but homecoming is the time for the guys to shine. Guys are put in the spotlight as they come up with creative ways to ask a girl to homecoming. Not many girls want just a simple “Will you go to homecoming with me?” and they definitely don’t want to get asked over text. The pressure is on for the guys to find a unique way to win the girl over.
Three: Homecoming Royalty. At our school, only seniors can be elected for homecoming king and queen. The entire school gets to vote on who they think should be queen and king. In the week leading up to the big night, an all school assembly is held, where the contestants running to be king and queen are asked questions, so that everyone can see what the contestants are like, and base their decision on who they liked the best. The king and queen are announced at the Friday night homecoming game.
Four: The Homecoming Game. The day before homecoming is the homecoming game, where we take on the easiest team so that we are guaranteed a win. Right before the game starts, homecoming king and queen are announced. All the contestants line up and the crowns are placed on the winners. The king and queen wear their crowns to the dance the next day. The game itself is wild. Where I stand, the homecoming game is never watched, everyone is just there to socialize. Every time the parents cheer, we take it as our cue to cheer as well. The student section decks out in our school’s colors, and have a good time before the dance has even begun.
Five: The Dance. The most important part of homecoming. The entire week has been leading up to this one moment, and the time has come for girls to get their hair and make-up on, and to put on their dream dresses. The guys do their thing too, I guess… I wouldn’t know, as I’m not a guy. The rest of the story is up to you- did the guy and the girl dance the night away? Did she spill something on her dress while eating dinner? Anything could happen on this one exciting night.
