Good times for a change
See, the luck I've had
Can make a good man
Turn bad
So please please please
Let me, let me, let me
Let me get what I want

-The Smiths-
=====================================================

The group all stood in the parking lot. The "bad kids" were smoking pot and trying desperately to get David to join in. Everyone else continued to drink and laugh as they had been the whole night. Since Kim, Oscar, and Jackie hadn't even been invited to leave the group was for the most part getting along, and having a good time.

Then the announcements were made as to who won Homecoming King and Queen. When the names Lydia Mayer and Shawn Meyers were announced few were surprised. She may have been teased, but Lydia was well liked by most. There are always more dorky kids then there are jocks. It was when no one showed up on stage that everyone looked at each other in amazement. Who would want to miss winning at Homecoming? As Kim stood cursing at the top of her lungs the principal fumbled, not sure what to do without the winners present.

Jack Kelly had enough of the dance. Halfway through the night Jessica went to the bathroom and never returned. He found out later that from Jackie Josey that she was "puking up monkeys in the girl's bathroom" and that it was "totally gross and it smelled like…uh…really bad". And now one of his old friends, who he had ditched; and one of his new best friends, who had ditched him were Junior Prince and Princess.

Left with no date and at a loss for his friends Jack ventured out to the parking lot to find his popular friends intertwined with his old friends.

"JACK!" Race screamed as he went running over to his friend. He proceeded to jump on his back and then give him a high five. "Want a beer?" he asked.

"No thanks…" Jack trailed off to see David Jacobs taking a drag off of a blunt. Davey proceeded to cough and everyone laughed at him. Race handed him a beer anyway and went back to Jill, who was looking quite comfortable in Race's arms. Shaking his head he turned to Mush and Lydia who were laughing their heads off at something Blink was telling them. "Hey you two won Homecoming," he blurted out. It sounded stupid as he said it.

"GO US!" Lydia screamed and Mush picked her up and spun her around. "Will I get a crown?" she asked, very excited.

"No, that's just for the King and Queen," Mush replied.

"I'M A PRINCESS!" she yelled again and everyone looked extremely happy. Minus Jack, who was a little pissed off about the whole situation.

This wasn't the way it was supposed to be. How come everything he did seem to backfire?

=====================================================

"You know that part of The Breakfast Club when Anthony Michael Hall asks what's gonna happen on Monday?" Jill asked Lydia, Maria and Bumlets the Sunday after Homecoming. They were lying on the floor in Lydia's room amongst her Irish dancing and Thespian trophies and the dozens of photographs she had taken over the years. Jack was in some of these pictures, back when Lydia claimed that he was her muse just to piss him off.

They were always in Lydia's house because Lydia's parents were never home. Her father worked at Home Depot and her mother was an emergency room nurse so she never saw much of them. Instead her brother raised her and he was always in his room sleeping all day because he bartended at night. At the moment "Werewolves in London" was blasting on his radio and Lydia was howling along.

"Does anyone think that the janitor is hot?" Bumlets asked. Maria and Lydia began to giggle uncontrollably.

"HELLO! That's right, ignore Jill. She won't mind," Jill said in pretend annoyance.

"That's a movie Jilly, not a guidebook to high school," Maria responded.

"Well now that I'm a Homecoming princess I'll have to ditch you guys and hang out with the Elitists," Lydia said jokingly.

"Once a Dorktastic, always a Dorktastic. And Lydia you are fantastic at being a dork," Bumlets laughed. She began to hit him with a pillow from her bed.

But Jill was onto something. Just because they had fun at Homecoming doesn't mean that they were suddenly friends with those people. Would Skittery still be gay when he was sober? Would Mush still want the queen of the drama geeks? Was Race just playing Jill, or did he want more?

But then again, those were the least of their worries. What would everyone at school say? This would be the biggest scandal to hit NPHS since those seventh graders got busted having sex in a stall of the upstairs girls bathroom.
