(Homecoming Dance)
*October 3nd, 1941*
*7:15 pm*
*Highlands High School*
It was finally the night of homecoming as Anya and her friends were enjoying themselves while music was playing in the background.
"Wow, I've never been to these types of formal events before so this is quite fun for me.." Anya (who wore a beautiful blue crepe rayon dress beaded waves with belt flutter sleeves) had spoken to her friends while Charlotte and Emma nodded their heads in agreement as they looked over to see Miss Joyce approaching them which made the trio smile as one of them began to speak.
"Good Evening, Miss Joyce. It's wonderful seeing you on this fine night. How are you doing?" Charlotte had asked her former teacher in a tone of happiness while Anya and Emma were waving their hands as Miss Joyce began to speak.
"It's a pleasure seeing my favorite group of students and I'm doing great! Thanks for asking and where's the others at?" Miss Joyce had responded back in a cheerful tone of voice as she looked over to see if the rest of the gang was here as Emma began to speak.
"The others are here but they're outside right now so if you want to see them then you must head outside" Emma had spoken back to Miss Joyce as her answer made the former teacher smile.
"Nice, I'll keep that in mind but I'm gonna let you wonderful ladies enjoy the night but if there's any trouble then don't be afraid to call me, okay?" Miss Joyce had advised the trio as she bidded farewell as this was followed by the girls doing the same thing.
"Sounds good and we'll catch you down the road!" Anya had spoken out as she, Charlotte, and Emma waved goodbye to Miss Joyce as they saw the woman walking towards one of the exits.
"I sure wish Calvin was here but I guess he was too good to be hanging out with a poor ole girl like me anyways" Anya had spoken out to herself as she looked over to see Allison approaching them as he wore a beautiful dress which caught her attention.
"Hey, It's great seeing you guys, I hope that tonight is going amazing for you guys and all of you look beautiful" Allison had complimented to his friends as he saw smiles on the trio's faces.
"Thank you, you look very beautiful as well, my good friend and I'm assuming Russell and Carrie are right behind you, right?" Charlotte had spoken back as she was met with Allison nodding his head in confirmation.
"Yup, My mother dropped me off then I saw Russell and Carrie waiting for me but they had to adjust their outfits or something but they'll be here any moment" Allison had spoken back while Charlotte nodded her head in understandment.
"Oh, I see, I just hope they don't get caught by Principal Sheldon or Greta cause a boy and a girl alone in a bathroom sure can cause suspicions" Charlotte had spoken back as her comment made Emma and Allison chuckle.
"I'm sure our friends are smart enough to not get caught but to change topics, would you like to dance? I think your favorite song is about to come on…" Emma had chimed into the conversation as she could hear the song beginning to play from the radio as this made Charlotte smile.
"Of course! I'll even teach you a few moves if that's okay with you" Charlotte had spoken back as Emma had taken her by the hand while the couple proceeded to dance on the center of the dance floor which was met with cheers.
"Wow, I never knew Charlotte was such a good dancer. Isn't that right, Anya?" Allison had spoken to his friend while Anya nodded her head in agreement.
"She sure is! I recall her teaching me a few dance moves last year but I was never really good at it or anything" Anya had spoken back as she chuckled with Allison doing the same thing as the pair looked over to see Russell and Carrie walking together like a romantic couple which made everyone smile.
"Hey guys, you two look very stunning together and how is homecoming treating you guys thus far?" Anya greeted her friends in a happy tone of voice as Carrie began to speak.
"Thank you so much! I've spent most of my check on this outfit so it makes me happy to see other people liking it but where's Nancy and Mai at? We didn't see them around" Carrie had spoken back in a rather curious tone of voice as Anya began to speak.
"Of course and they should arrive at any minute so they won't be too late or anything" Anya had spoken back as she saw the pair sit down while Allison began to converse with them.
"Hey, it's great seeing you guys, any plans for the rest of tonight?" Allison had asked his friends as Russell shocked his head in declinement.
"Nah, I might just call it a night once homecoming is over but I'll definitely make it up by joining everyone for pizza tomorrow" Russell had answered back as this made Allison smile.
"I'm glad to hear that" Allison simply uttered back as Russell got up in order to use the restroom.
"Excuse me, I'll be back and don't start anything without me, okay?" Russell had spoken back in a rather playful tone of voice as he made his way to the nearest restroom thus leaving Allison alone with Carrie.
"Are you having a good time? I can tell this is the first time you've gone to events like this since your mother was rather protective of you" Carrie had spoken to her friend as she was met with him nodding his head in confirmation.
"I'm having a good time and you're right. My mother can be unbearable when it comes to protecting me but I've managed to convince her to chill on that but I also want to ask you something and it's kinda selfish…" Allison had spoken back as this made Carrie raise an eyebrow in curiosity as she began to speak.
"Go on…" Carrie simply responded back in a curious tone of voice while waiting for a response from Allison.
"I have feelings for Russell and I plan on telling him this but my request is that I want to have a dance with him if that's okay with you considering that he's going with you but if you say no then I completely understand.." Allison had confessed to his friend as this caught Carrie by surprise as she began to speak as well.
"I see, Russell is a really sweet guy so I can definitely understand that but just please do what you feel is right and if you want to dance with him then don't be afraid to, okay? Just know that you may have a little competition" Carrie had spoken back while giving her a smirk and a thumbs up which made Allison return the favor as Russell had finally walked out of the restroom which prompted Carrie to gently nudge Allison's shoulder.
"R-Russell, M-may I have a dance with you and I'd like to talk to you about something if that's okay with you…" Allison had spoken to Russell while blushing madly before looking up to see Russell nodding his head in confirmation.
"Sure, if that's okay with Carrie since I'm her homecoming date and whatnot" Russell had answered back while looking over to his side to see Carrie smiling in full support which gave him enough reason to accept the proposal.
"I guess that's a yes, It seems like good ole Russell might have to teach you a few moves" Russell had spoken back to Allison in a excited tone of voice as he gently grabbed Allison's hand which made him blush as both boys slowly walked towards the center stage while Carrie watched with a smile on her face as Anya approached her.
"Are you sure about your choice? I know this was a big night for you and all" Anya had asked her friend as she was met with Carrie laughing before speaking once more.
"I'm sure and It's not the end of the world or anything! I can just dance with him after Allison has his fair share in everything and besides, I want nothing but the very best for him…" Carrie had responded back as she and Anya looked over to see Allison and Russell slowly engaging in a wonderful dance.
"R-Russell, I have to tell you something…" Allison had spoken out as Russell smiled as he proceeded to speak.
"Of course, anything for my friend.." Russell had spoken back as he continued to slowly dance with Allison while waiting for an answer.
"Okay, Um, I-I like you. I have a crush on you. You've honestly been such a sweet and loving guy to me during my time here and while most guys didn't want anything to do with me due to the way I present myself, you was the only guy that just didn't gave a damn and still wanted to be my friend despite everything so and if you want, will you be my boyfriend?" Allison had finally confessed to his friend as he finally let out a smile while Russell had thought about what he just heard before speaking once more.
"I truly appreciate you for telling me how you feel but I must reject your feelings since I already have developing feelings for someone at the moment but I hope you can understand" Russell had spoken back as he was met with Allison smiling warmly at him while sighing with relief.
"I knew you were gonna reject me since It was obvious that you liked Carrie and all but I'm honestly just glad I was able to get that outta my chest!" Allison had spoken in a tone of relief as this made Russell chuckle.
"Y-Yeah, I'm glad you were able to understand that and Carrie is a pretty nice gal" Russell had spoken back while Allison smiled at him as the boys continued with their dancing while the others were watching as Nancy and Mai finally entered the scene.
"Sorry for being late, my folks were stuck in light traffic but It seems we're here now" Nancy had spoken out as she and Mai walked over to the table which Anya and the others were sitting at.
"It's okay and It also seems like Allison and Russell are having a good time together" Carrie had spoken out as she looked over at the pair dancing before getting up to approach them as she grabbed Russell's hand.
"Mind If I join in the fun? Let's see if you can handle two dancing trainees, Isn't that right, Allison!" Carrie had spoken to Russell before looking at Allison at the last part of the sentence.
"Yup and besides, Carrie needs some competition these days, right?" Allison had spoken to Russell as all three of them proceeded to share a wonderful dance together while Anya, Mai, and Nancy watched them with smiles on their faces.
"Allison is having a lot of fun, I'm glad that we were able to make most of this semester worth his while" Mai had spoken out while Anya and Nancy nodded their heads in agreement.
"I agree, I'm just glad that we were able to be there and accept him for who he was and that makes me glad…" Anya had spoken in agreement as she and the others continued to watch Allison dance with Russell and Carrie.
They knew in their hearts that Allison was truly happy and having fun with those he loves and cares about.
