Chapter 3: Homecoming

This year is my first homecoming as a freshman in high school I normally in junior high school with my twin sister Lexie. We are actually supposed to be in the 7th grade but we are too smart for our class. Mommy and Daddy are proud of us even though we are graduating earlier than we were supposed to. I heard from Zola that they pick a homecoming queen, king, prince, and princess. I know I'm not pretty enough to get princess but I am athletic as I do ice skate, and I'm on the cheer team with my sisters. I started cheering last year but I still skate at our schools local ice rink where the hockey team skates.

"Hey El what you say we go and show the football team some team spirit to start off our first high school home coming." Lexie asked me. "Sure I mean mom and dad don't get out of work till 8:00 tonight and Bailey is doing soccer, Hannah is doing middle school cheering, well I guess Luke, and Mia can come to our school as we are all doing our sports activities and Zola is also going to be with us so I don't think we need to worry about a sitter for our siblings if they come and watch us." I told Lexie. I called Luke and Amelia to come to the high school after school to watch us do our sports. I am excited to pump up the school with school spirit.

"Ellie where have you been Coach Willard has been looking for you to get the perfect fit outfit for Saturday's game." Zola told me. "Zo I was talking to Luke to make sure he wasn't waiting for us when we are at practice." I told her. "Okay oh do you have your outfit picked out for the school homecoming dance because it is formal I will help you with your hair like I do for your skating tournaments." Zola told me. "Zo I don't know if I'm going to go to the dance because I don't see the sense of going because I won't get voted as princess or anything." I told Zola. "Ellis I heard you were in the running for princess because you have been the popular one on the freshman team next to Lexie." I was shocked and had the courage to actually go and face the team. If I get voted princess I will be able ride in the homecoming float with the prince, king, and queen.

As the week went on we spent our time on our sports team plus getting our report cards. I got High Honors for my first quarter. Zola and Bailey also got High Honors, but Lexie however got one b which is strange because I helped her study for Spanish but she still is having a hard time I think she needs a tutor because I don't think she understands it coming from her own twin sister. I was excited about my report card now I'm excited for the dance. I am dressed in my pink dress with lots of sparkles, and flowers in my hair that Zola did she had it done up in a braid that forms into a bun but it was like the hair style princess Leia had in star wars. The dance was awesome but now I'm waiting to see who got the homecoming king, queen, princess, and prince. It was 5 minutes later when they announced the winners. "This year's homecoming king is our smart kind head of the soccer team, and head of the basketball team goes to Bailey Shepherd." Said the principal. I was shocked my own brother won. "This year's homecoming queen is head of the cheerleading team, and the president of the health care club goes to Zola Shepherd." Said the principle I was proud of my sister as she deserved it. "Now for our homecoming prince goes to our freshman of the football team Franklin Davidson." Said the principle. Franklin is one of my friends that is actually in my honors physics class. "Now for our princess she's smart, beautiful, talented singer, talented ice skater, and the newest member of the cheer team goes to Ellis Shepherd." Said the principle.

I was shocked that I was the princess now that Bailey, Zola, and I were on the royal homecoming court. The next thing I heard was. "What a rip off this vote is rigged how come the 3 Shepherd children get it and I've been trying to get it for 4 years." Said a girl that I can't stand because she is always making the chorus teacher stop in the middle of the song. High School is awesome defiantly better than Junior High I can't wait to see what else happens in this awesome school this year. I can't wait to show mom and dad that I am popular like Zola, and Bailey. During the parade mom and dad were cheering with everyone in our family as they were proud. I think I honestly saw most of the hospital's doctors that I consider aunt, and uncle because they are like family. My life is awesome right now, as I'm homecoming princess, I'm going to have a baby sibling, and I have high honors right now.

A/N: okay here is chapter 3 I wanted to show what High School was like for Zola, Bailey, Lexie, and Ellis. I cant wait to write more but I really had fun with this chapter. also I can't wait to write a chapter about Luke with his stuff along with Bailey, Lexie, Hannah, Amelia, and Derek. I also can't wait to talk about more of the fun stuff the children and the family do growing up and raising a baby while Zola graduates high school and heads off to college but that's going to be a while.
