chapter 13:
"WAAAAAKE UP, IT'S THE BEST DAY OF OUR LIVES" Hannah screamed at all the girls,
silently sleeping on the floor of Marissa's living room. She grabbed a pillow from the nearby
chair and launched it at Lindsay, sending it straight at her face.
"Hannah, I'll get you for that" Lindsay sputtered, chucking the feathery weapon back at
Hannah. The rest of the girls were also hit, waking them up in the middle of a feathery war
zone.
"My mother might kill us!, or maybe just maim us" Marissa shouted, tossing a sleeping bag at
Ellis, knocking her over.
"That's a risk worth taking!" Emily shouted, raising a pillow over her head, and tossing it at
Mckinleigh
"You are all crazy! I'm loving it" Mckinleigh yelled, while being dragged to the floor by Ellis.
As they continued, Marissa snuck off into the kitchen and checked her messages.
You Have 1 New Message
SAMUEL LARSEN.
Hey Mars, Tonight's our night.
can't wait to see you
-Sam
Marissa smiled at the sweetness and meaning to his letter, that she can't help fall in love with
him over and over. After a little bit, Lindsay realized Marissa had vanished, and went to find
her.
"Mars, what time is it?" She asked, slightly out of breath.
The remaining girls, filed in quickly after Lindsay.
"11:05, why?" Marissa said, reading the time on her microwave
"we have a spa appointment at 11:30, hurry up guys!" Lindsay shouted, already getting
dressed. They all scrambled around to get their clothes, and piled into Lindsay's car.
When they arrived, they were enveloped in a sugary scent of massage oil, and comforting
floral scents.
"This way, for your manicures, and personalized treatments." said a Kind receptonist
They were each led off to a different corner, and show what they were getting.
An hour later, the six girls walked out, refreshed and soothed. After their spa retreat, they all
headed back to Marisa's house to do each their hair.
"Okay, so for Hannah, I think we should straighten her hair, and make a braid crown" Miki said
eye-ing Hannah up and down.
"That's a great idea, I'll look smokin" Hannah said with a seductive wink. They all laughed,
and moved on to Lindsay
"I think she should have the classic princess bun" Marissa said
"You are the fairytale Broadway queen" Lindsay smirked, and knew they were right.
"I think Marissa should curl her hair all pretty" Ellis piped up.
Everyone got their own unique hairstyle, and got to work on each other in a Hair styling "Train"
so to speak. at around 2:00 everyone was at the what they call ''halfway to hair" stage. They
all got some food, and took a short break. Marissa had curlers all in her hair, Hannah a
straightener in hand, Emily a crimper, and Ellis and Miki had some brushes, and pins sticking
out. They all laughed at their current appearances in the mirror, and went back to finish what
they had started. After a long process of removing hair accessories, the girls were finally
through with one portion of their prom extravaganza. At around 5:00, they got into their
dresses and put on make up. The result was completely amazing, they all looked ravishing,
and everything was perfect. At 7:00, they left to have dinner at Ramon's before the dance with
the guys. The girls stood outside, in long coats hiding their dresses waiting for their
counterparts to arrive. Their reservations had nearly passed, when a silver volvo pulled up,
encasing four well dressed boys.
" Finally you guys are here, we've been waiting for twenty minutes" Emily complained.
"Sorry, we have to be fashionably late, it's part of our reputation" Samuel said, trying to not to
drool at how beautiful Marissa looked. She had elegant curls framing her face, silvery eye
shadow, opening her large eyes making her look like an angel.
"Actually, Cameron wouldn't take off the glasses, but we made him" Smirked Matheus.
No one had noticed before, but Cameron looked completely different. instead of his normal
nerdy attire; he was dressed refined with his hair neat, and glasses gone.
"You clean up good" Hannah said with a wink. Cameron blushed like a mad man at her
comment.
"What do you say we go in and stop freezing our asses off" Cameron said quietly.
They nodded, and preceded to head into the restaurant. In the warm Italian restaurant, they
were greeted by a server; who lead them to a table for ten.
"Here you go my lady" Damian smiled, pulling out a chair for Lindsay.
"What a gentleman" She said, giving him a kiss on the cheek.
They ate their dinner, chatting excitedly about the night ahead of them. At 9:30, they left
Ramon's, satisfied and ready to party. They got in their separate cars and drove over to West
Front Park. At ten seconds to 10:00 Damian and Lindsay waited to see the expressions on
their friend's faces. The illumination of light, and joy! The unveiling of dresses. It was all
amazing.
"WELCOME TO HOMECOMING 2011" Called out Mr. Schue from the stage. Everyone burst
into applause and wild cheers.
"Everyone enjoy the dance, and our first number my Mr. Matheus Fernandez and Ms. Ellis
Wylie singing Lucky" Mr. Schue bellowed over the wild cheers. Ellis and Matheus made their
way onto the stage and smiled at each other, and began to sing. Damian and Lindsay slow
danced to the soft melody of their duet, reminiscing the memory of when they first met. The
pure love in their eyes had been unbroken since they met, and it was total bliss. Sam and
Marissa were in the same, except neither have them have had the guts to say I love you yet,
but Sam knew that would change tonight. Hannah, wasn't in to the romantic thing. She was
hanging with Miki and Emily at the punch bowl, while Cameron was staring at her with longing
eye, confident in what his job was tonight. When Ellis and Matheus finished, everyone
clapped and Mr. Schue resumed his position on stage.
"That was great, and now for a lesson in girl power Ms. Emily Vazquez singing Girls Run The
World" All the choir girls screamed their appreciation for Emily, especially Ellis. Only they
knew what she had been through. The upbeat song was perfect for Emily, it described her
and her dancing was off the charts. During this song, all the girls left their dates, and gathered
at the front of the stage, dancing together. The song brought everyone together, and gave
Emily more confidence to be herself. The explosion of applause at the end was ear splitting.
"Well I guess that taught us a lesson, and next we have a song from Mr. Samuel Larsen."
"Um thanks, first thing is I want to dedicate this to My Girlfriend Marissa. I love you" He said
into the microphone. everyone aww-ed and clapped, but Marissa just stared at him. He began
the song and everyone realized what it was and smiled, it actually fit perfectly.
Uptown girl She's been living in her uptown world I bet she's never had a backstreet guy I bet
her momma never told her why
I'm gonna try for an uptown girl She's been living in her white bread world As long as anyone
with hot blood can And now she's looking for a downtown man That's what I am
And when she knows what She wants from her type And when she wakes up And makes up
her mind
She'll see I'm not so tough Just because I'm in love with an uptown girl You know I've seen
her in her uptown world She's getting tired of her high class toys And all her presents from her
uptown boys She's got a choice
Uptown girl You know I can't afford to buy her pearls But maybe someday when my ship
comes in She'll understand what kind of guy I've been And then I'll win
And when she's walking She's looking so fine And when she's talking She'll say that she's
mine
She'll say I'm not so tough Just because I'm in love With an uptown girl She's been living in
her white bread world As long as anyone with hot blood can And now she's looking for a
downtown man That's what I am
Uptown girl She's my uptown girl You know I'm in love With an uptown girl
He gave her the most genuine smile, and walked off stage straight to Marissa.
"What did you think?" He asked, slightly nervous.
"That was the first time someone sang me a love song, and I'm glad as hell it was someone I
loved back even more" She said, pulling him into a passionate embrace.
They stood in the middle of the dance floor, locked together by love, and no one tore them
apart.
"Our last song before announcing homecoming king and queen, is by a Mr. Cameron Mitchell
singing Silly Love Songs" Mr. Schue nodded, and Cameron slowly made his way up the stage.
"Oh god, I'm gonna puke all over the stage." He thought to himself.
At the microphone, he felt himself blinded by a spotlight, and sweating like a pig.
"This song is for...for" He said loudly
"the one I love" He muttered quickly under his breath. As the music began to play, he grew
calmer, and less uptight about the song. He got into it, and started singing directly to Hannah.
"I think he's looking at me, Oh my gosh I hope so" Hannah thought aloud, she swayed and
danced around, never taking her eyes of Cameron. He glanced around at everyone when his
song was finished, and everyone seemed to enjoy it. He walked off stage, proud of himself
and joined his friends.
"Now it's time to make your final votes for king and queen"
Everyone scurried over to the table, and wrote the two names on the ballots. At this point, no
one knew who it was going to be, or what would come of it.
"Okay guys, you enjoy the park while we count up our votes" Said Mrs. Schuester, the other
Teacher Supervisor. The choir group all split up and went their separate ways. Sam, and Marissa went
with Lindsay and Damian, Matheus went with Hannah, Ellis and Cameron, and Miki and
Emily.
"You are Stupid"Ellis shouted, smacking Cameron hard on the arm.
"Gosh, what's gotten into you?" He sighs, rubbing his arm
"Today you come her looking all hot, and she compliments you and you DON'T DO
ANYTHING" She yells the last part.
"I'm sorry"
"ALRIGHT EVERYONE THE VOTES ARE IN"
Everyone hurries back as fast as they can, and waits eagerly in front of the stage.
"Your 2011 homecoming king and queen are... Lindsay Pearce And Samuel Larsen"
A/N: Thanks to everyone who has been reviewing my story! I decided to split homecoming
into two chapters so everyone could get a section to themselves, also the king and queen
drama heats up, and Hannah and Cameron still don't know anything about love.
