Notes: I don't own the songs in this fic. They may not be timeframe right but hey I was listening to the radio.
Goodnight Sweet Prince
I stood behind Laura Brightenbach. I had been chosen as one of the Junior Prince's along with Luis. We were standing there on the auditorium stage waiting for the Dean to finally announce which of the Senior Prince's had been named Homecoming King. The Homecoming Queen would be announced at the football game that night. I looked into the seats and saw my mother sitting there taking pictures. I was embarrassed by that. The hockey teams were in the middle of the auditorium looking as bored as I felt. Marcy was sitting not too far away from them with her friends. She smiled at me when she caught my eye.
Finally, the Dean announced the Homecoming King, Sam West, who was captain of the football team. We were finally told we could go to class. I've never been so happy to go to math.
My date for the dance, Brandy Frank, was standing there waiting for me. I hadn't asked her she had asked me. She was in my US History class. She's a nice girl so I accepted. I had no idea who I was going to ask so it was better this way.
Just as we were leaving the auditorium my mother came up to us and hugged me. "I'm proud of you Adam. Your father wanted me to tell you congratulations for him. He couldn't be here today." She glanced at her watch and frowned. "I'm sorry but I've got to go." She said giving me another hug. Guess she didn't realized how embarrassing that was for me.
"Give Kiley a hug for me." I called as she left.
The bell rang signaling we had one minute to get to our classes. It was a good thing I went to my locker and grabbed my books before the assembly. "What class do you have now?" I asked Brandy.
"French. You?"
"Math."
We said goodbye and hurried to our classes hoping we wouldn't be late. I sat in my seat less then five seconds before the bell rang. I quickly took out my book and spiral notebook.

I straightened my tie. Luis was talking to the princess he was escorting. Laura was fixing her hair. She and I had a few words. She was on the Varsity cheerleading squad but we didn't have anything in common. In fact, she had told me almost at the start that she thought the football team should be more important to this school. Makes me wonder though. If a tree fell on the school, would everyone blame me for that? This school has too many snobs.
Take what happened when Luis and I entered the room where the male half of the Homecoming Court was supposed to change at. When Luis, Jeramiah who was a Freshman Prince and also on the JV team, and I waked into the locker room Sam West turned to us and said "Can't hockey players be on time?" Because we were a few minutes late. It's not our fault that both of the hockey coaches wanted to talk to the teams. Since I was captain of Varsity there was no way of getting out of it.
Anyway, that comment earned many laughs. If Portman had been, a prince Sam would have been unconscious when they crowned the homecoming Queen. I knew there was a rumor going around that the Varsity hockey team had gone soft. No pranks since the first game last year. I always hated the pranks especially with the ones since I came to Eden Hall. I was glad that the prank war had ended.
Luis's princess, Petra Campfield, wasn't a cheerleader. She was the Junior Class Secretary so she was a bit popular in her own right.
Back to now. I was slipping on my tuxedo jacket when I saw Connie slip into the room. I wonder why she was there. She wasn't a Homecoming Princess. And I didn't see any of her friends on the court. Luis saw her and looked as surprised as I was. He just shrugged. I didn't have a chance to think about it because we were told to lineup.
I lined up beside Laura and behind Luis and Petra. I saw Connie leave the room. Maybe I was just being paranoid.
The Dean called our names and we stepped onto the stage. After the seniors were announced, the ASB President, Chris Allen, announced the winner, Allie Young. Head cheerleader.
As I stepped down off the stage, my foot was caught on something. I tumbled off the last few steps. Luis helped me up. That was embarrassing. There was loud laughter. I think Laura tripped me but I wasn't sure. She did have a satisfied look on her face though. I walked back to the dressing room. It was uneventful. I'd be happier when I got back to my dorm.

The next night Brandy and I stepped into the Guy for the dance along with Guy and Windy. The dance had an under the sea theme. Paper mache fishes were hanging from the ceiling. They had changed the lighting so the room looked bluish. It looked nice.
"You want to dance or get a drink from the punch bowl?" I asked Brandy.
She had been trying to move through the crowd so I don't think she heard me. When we were in a spot to stand, I repeated the question. She chose to dance.
I led her out onto the dance floor. She was a pretty good dancer. She seemed to be enjoying herself she really was a nice person. We danced a few dances before sitting at a table with Guy, Windy, Charlie, Linda, Scooter, and Julie.
"Brandy do you know Scooter?" I asked. She shook her head so we introduced them.
"I heard Keith married your sister." Scooter said.
"Yeah. They now live in Sacramento and go to California State. Too bad you couldn't be at the wedding. I know Keith really hoped you would be there.
"I couldn't. Was on a family trip to the Bahamas. My parents wouldn't let me stay here to go to it. I'm glad Christina and Keith married. They seemed so in love."
Drive by Incubus was playing. "Want to dance?" Scooter asked Julie. They got up and went to the dance floor. Linda and Charlie did the same thing.
"They seem nice." Brandy said.
I forgot Brandy didn't know the hockey team. I hope it didn't bother her too much.
Marcy and her date Lenny came back from the dance floor when Cleaning out the Closet by Eminem started playing. I wonder if the Dean knew that the deejay was going to play Eminem songs? "Thanks for saving seats for us Adam." She said with a grin. "Ah Eminem. Something different. Alumni looks like they are going to blow a gasket." She said pointing to Tom Riley and the rest of the board. They did look angry. "Oh Lenny I don't know if you know Adam Banks and his date Brandy Frank?" She looked at me hoping she got my date's name right. I nodded.
"Nice to meet you. Marcy talks about you a lot." Lenny said.
I tried not to blush.
The music stopped after Seven Days by Craig David was over. "Can we have the Homecoming Prince's and Princess's on stage? Along with the King and Queen?" We filed onto the stage. I wasn't quite sure why. Sam and Allie had already been crowned. "Let's give them a round of applause!" The Dean said. After that, we were allowed to leave the stage.
Brandy and I stepped out onto the dance floor and started to dance to One Last Breath by Creed. It's a good song but it always makes me think of Jesse though. I hope I don't start crying on the dance floor.
In the middle of Happy by Ashanti something fell from the ceiling and hit me in the head. I fell to the floor falling into darkness.
