Chapter 21: Miranda for Homecoming Queen

~Miranda's PoV~

There was a pep rally today where they were going to announce the homecoming court. Then right after school, we were going over to Amy's to watch band videos. I was excited to do all of this and hopefully I made the court.

"Hello students," says a freshmen that was new on the student counsel. Since I was one of the candidates, I wasn't allowed to announce the court or have anything to do with homecoming. "I'm Amber and I'm gonna announce the homecoming court." Everyone got quiet. "Okay, first off, freshmen. The homecoming king is…..Dylan Pickles!"

I didn't know he was nominated, it looked like he didn't either. He walks down the bleachers and out of the freshmen section. "The homecoming queen is Danielle Stump." The girl I gave my feathers to came out of the crowd. She wore one of the feathers in her hair. I clapped for both of them.

"Okay, sophomores now. The king is…..Phillip Deville." A lot of people seemed to like Phil, this was the second time he had won. I clap again. "The homecoming queen is…Kayla Gregory!" Wait that was our Kayla. When did she get on the list?

She seemed almost as shocked as me. She walks down and stands beside Phil, they exchange a few words. "Okay, time for juniors. The homecoming king is…Erick Thompson!" The jock from my English class makes his way to everyone else. "And the queen is…..Miranda Fairs!"

A smile comes to my face, Chuckie kisses my cheek, and I go to stand by Erick. Erick says something to me, but I can't hear him over the roar of the crowd. I couldn't believe so many people liked me and voted for me. I look through the crowd for Emily, to see the look on her face. But I can't find her. I give up my search and smile wide to the crowd.

~Amy's PoV~

Watching all these videos made me wanna go cry in a hole. This people so good. How were we gonna win when we had such strong competition? Most of the bands were punk rock, like us. I knew these covers so that meant we had to think outside the box. "So, we need some new songs to cover," I say.

"Yeah we do," Tanner agrees.

"Maybe its time to step down from lead singer," I say. Everyone looks at me. "What?"

"All of those bands have boy singer, Amy," says Ember. "We're different because of you. And the only other person that would be able to sing is Tanner."

"I still think Amy should be singer," says Tanner.

"Okay, fine. But we need some songs. Never ones," I say.

"Let's all brain storm," says Kimi. "Each of us come up with a list and come back here at the end of the week. We compare lists and go from there."

"Great idea," I say. "Let's do partners, so there's not as many lists to go over."

~Lil's PoV~

After everyone left Amy's house, we went upstairs to hang out. "Don't stress yourself," I say while I play with Amy's hand. "You guys are great, everything is gonna be fine."

"Still stressing," she mutters, shutting her eyes and laying back on her bed. "Wait until we start looking at colleges, the stress will be worse."

I sigh. "No stressing." I poke her cheek. "No, no, no. No stressing."

"Lil," she whines. "No talking, just lay with me."

I lay beside her and she puts her head on my shoulder. It's quiet for a few minutes. "I don't wanna look at colleges at all."

"I freak out just thinking about."

It's quiet again.

"Lil?"

"Hmm?" I close my eyes. I felt so comfortable.

"My dad wants me to visit him during spring break and I don't know."

"Do you want to?"

"Yeah."

"Then go."

"But my parents fight all the time and I know if I tell my mom that I wanna go, she'll get all upset."

"If you wanna go, you should go. It doesn't matter what your mom thinks. Where does your dad live anyways?"

"England."

I open my eyes and look down at her. "You're going to be in England for two weeks?"

"Yeah…" She stares up at me.

"Don't replace me with some English girl."

"I can hardly stand my own accent, what makes you think I can handle some other girl's? Besides, no one could replace you."

"We're gonna talk every day, right?"

She nods. "Of course." She gets up and pins me to the bed. "You should stop worrying." She kisses me softly. Her lips were soft and felt nice against mine. She pulls away and kisses my forehead. "I love you Lillian."

"We're doing the full first name thing, Amelia?"

"No! No, don't say that!" She groans, she hated her name. "It's so ugly."

"I think its beautiful."

"You're just saying that."

"Amelia, Amelia, Amelia-" She covers my mouth with her hand. My giggles are muffled.

"You're gonna pay for that." She giggles and moves her hand. "I-"

My phone rings, causing us to stop. "Hello?"

"Where are you? Are you still at Amy's? You have a doctor's appointment!" My mom's voice rings in my ear.

"Oops! I'm sorry, I'm on my way."

"You got thirty minutes."

"Okay, sorry." I hang up. "I forgot I had a doctor's appointment."
