My Homecoming Date
"The homecoming dance is coming up soon." The teacher, Mrs. Marcheez, felt the need to announce this before we left school later that week.
Although Mackenzie had not bothered me nearly as much that whole week, I could always feel his eyes on me as I walked through the halls.
"So if you have not found a date you really need to find one." Mrs. Marcheez made a face at this.
I could feel Mackenzie's eyes on my side. I could feel others watching me also.
A boy in the back of the room raised his hand and said, "Hey Mrs. Marcheez! Will you go to the dance with me?"
The class giggled as the teacher looked away from him and continued as though she had not heard him. "Its a formal dance so dresses and ties will be worn. Everyone must have a date to walk through the door."
There was a silence as the class took this in. this would mean a mad rush after school to get a good date. This meant I would be the prime choice for at least 4 people
When the bell rang I ran to the truck and managed to drive out before anyone caught up with me.
At home I finished my homework, made dinner, and sat down on the couch with Charlie. He changed it to a sit com.
It was quiet except for the television so when the phone rang Charlie jumped. He answered it before I could react.
"Hello?" He said "Oh! Hello!"
There was a silence in which Charlie looked thoughtful. I had already dismissed it as a work call and was not really paying attention.
"Yes, yes. She can go."
I looked up at the word she. Charlie was watching me.
"I think it would be good for her. You two are friends, right?"
Another pause.
"Okay the 8th, right? 8-11. Okay, I'll tell her. No problem. Uh-huh. Good-bye."
"Who was that?" I asked suspiciously.
"Mike Newton."
"MIKE!" I gasped. "What did he want?"
Charlie suddenly looked strict. "You are going to the dance with him."
I looked at him steadily. "You are joking, right?"
"No, It will be good for you, Bells. He also said to tell you that Jessica is going with Andrew and Angela is going with Chaz. So you will all go as a group."
My mouth fell open in disbelief. MIKE!? NO! I don't dance! I don't like Mike! Why is life so unfair!?
Charlie could see the words on the tip of my tongue. "No arguments, Bella"
I'M SORRY! (about the shortness and the whole mike thing)
