*I just remembered I own nothing but Larissa, Nicky, Jacky and Molly*
~ We don't have homecoming at my school so I don't know if this is what they're like but it's sort of like a prom in this story~




"Adam and Dwayne will be here any minute now." Nicole banged on the bathroom door

"I'm coming Nicole give me a minute!" Larissa yelled back

There was a knock at the door at the dorm room door then which when it was opened revealed Dwayne and Banks both looking debonair in their varsity blazers.

"Where is she?" Adam whispered as he crossed the doorway

Nicole pointed to the powder room and sighed. Banks smiled devilishly as he strode toward the bathroom, he wrapped on it gently and stepped back.

"Nicky I'm coming hold on." Larissa groaned

"Rissa baby if I wait any longer your corsage is gonna die." Adam spoke into the heavy oak door.

"Adam?"

"Uhuh, you coming out of are you going to make me come in there and get you?"

The knob turned with a rattle and in an excruciatingly slow movement the door opened. The light illuminated her delicate features with a subtle glow and Adam's words were lodged in his throat his breath caught in his lungs. Larissa's hair was pulled into a glamorous reddish-brown twist as two spirally tendrils fell on either side framing her face. Her makeup was dramatic and heart stopping, lips tinted the color of the sweetest plum, eyes shimmering with soft stroked of silver shadow and her cheeks were kissed a gentle pink. The dress caressed her curves and drew out the gray in her eyes. Adam could hardly believe this vision was his girlfriend.

"Does it look satisfactory?" She tugged at the skirt of her dress spinning around causing it to flare around her like a sparkling gray flower. "Adam say something."

"I can't I'm speechless." His jaw hung down to the floor "You just may be the most stunning thing on this Earth."

Larissa smiled, pleased she wouldn't force him to bury his head in the sand from shame.
"Thank you."

"I'd kiss you but I'm scared to mess something up."

"Well please mess something up." She stepped closer to him

"Could ya'll save the kissin' for later, we got a dance to get to." Dwayne reminded

"I forgot about that." Adam quickly slipped the orchid on Larissa's wrist and picked up her overnight bag as they all headed out.

"We're going in the B.M.W. right." Nicole asked as they exited the dormitory

Dwayne and Adam looked at each other and smirked leading the girls to where Charlie, Linda, Guy, Connie, Luis and Julie and were all standing.

"Look they're here." Connie pointed to the four approaching teens "now can you tell us what the surprise is?"

"Come on guys we're going to be late. I hate being late." Julie complained though the smile that was plastered to her face said she really didn't care. She was holding Luis's hand tightly and it was apparent to everyone they enjoying being with each other.

"Don't worry Jules we'll get there on time." Luis gazed at her with his dark Latin eyes and her knees went weak.

"Well we all pitched in and…" Guy dragged it out

"We're going in style." Charlie tilted his chin to the limousine that was pulling into the parking lot.

"I've never been in a limo before." Larissa's eyes widened in awe

"Then you'll like this." Adam's arm slipped around her waist as they got in. The night was going to be perfect

The conversation on the ride consisted mostly of talk about the Ducks shot at the state championships. Eden Hall hadn't won states in twenty-five , the record having been over looked for the fifteen year division championship record which was less impressive. Larissa still knew little about hockey other then that her man was the best player on the team. Not just by her standards but everyone else's. So she closed her eyes, leaning her head on Adam's shoulder as he rested his cheek on her forehead. She felt as though she was in a fantasy world and to make a sound would some how cause the bubble to burst. Sending her hurtling back to the real world in a painful corkscrew.

Inside the dance had been decorated in a Cinderella theme keeping the fairy tale going. The rest of the group was already there when he people in their limo arrived and all fought back the laughter at the sight of Portman and Fulton. They too had worn their black sport coats with the Eden Hall crest (no ties of course) but stuffed in the jacket pockets in place of hankies , their skull bandanas were protruding. Larissa's hand grew tighter on Adam's at the presences of so many people. Adam's eyes scanned the tables at which his friends had taken up occupancy and wandered over to one directly in the middle. They took their seats the swirl of stimulation engulfed them. Larissa was dizzy excitement and could hardly sit still long enough to enjoy the food. The music was flowing and the dance floor was beckoning her.

"Let's dance." She tugged on Adam's hand

"I don't really know how to Hun." Adam stayed in his seat

"Please!" Larissa gave him the puppy dog eyes that made his heart stop

"Why was I even going to try to say no to you. I could never say no to those eyes."

"Good then dance with me."

They glided to the shiny hardwood floor hand in hand. Adam pulled Larissa as close to him as he could get her and rested her head on his chest. The music played as Rissa concentrated on listening to his breathing. She fit so well in his arms and being together felt so right to both of them. The couple circled the floor for song after song. It was as if they were dancing on air and no one else in the world could enter their sanctuary. When the song "Wonderful Tonight" started playing Rissa's ears picked up Adam atrocious singing voice. Her stomach ached from the giggles she was suppressing, but it was the most romantic thing she ever had happen to her. As the music ended and the lights lifted Larissa tipped her head up and studied Banks's face. His chiseled jaw line, kissable mouth and enchanting blue eyes and when he smiled at her she nearly toppled over. He kissed her forehead as the class president came to microphone and asked everyone to sit so they could announce the king and queen.

"This years Homecoming king and queen are Adam Banks and Nicole Olson." Larissa's heart swelled with pride her boyfriend and best friend had been elected. "Will the royal couple please come up for the coronation and royal dance?"

"I'll be right back." Adam kissed Rissa's hand getting up from the table. She watched as he was crowned and then ran to the ladies room when the dance came. When she came back however it was as if her heart had been ripped out and given to Nicky and Adam to dance on. Larissa's smoky eyes got site of the king and queen kissing. Rissa pulled her corsage from her wrist and flung it Adam's head as it made contact she took off out of the hall and into the rain that had began to fall.

"Jesus Nicky what that hell was that!" Adam pushed her back his eyes wild with anger

"A kiss Banks, I haven't kissed you in so long." She eyed him seductively

" Damn it Nicole I'm with Larissa now, you're seeing Dwayne."

"They'll live."

"You're a miserable bitch. I've got to go find Larissa, you stay away from us, you here me."

With that he ran out as well.
