Homecoming week started out with a pep rally and then several campus event centers all over the quad. The students had a bunch of family coming in to see how they were doing in school, what their room looked like and who their friends are. This also meant that there would be a homecoming dance and a king and queen crowned.
Everyone kept referring to it as being just like high school, just older. I had no reference to high school so this was all really interesting to me. The females in the band had asked me what I was going to wear to the party. Well, they'd called it a dance. It sounded like a party to me. I told them that I would find some type of dress to wear.
They stressed that it was supposed to be a ballroom gown and the men were going to wear tuxedos. I shrugged and did what I always did when I didn't understand a conversation. I looked up the homecoming dance online. It was an elegant party. I was still on a moratorium from a particular word. The dresses were sleek to huge with large petticoats. Some of the women had on gloves that came up to the upper arms. Hair was done up in these intricate ponytails with glitter and sparkling stuff. Even the makeup was done differently. I had to admit, I was a bit more than terrified about what going to a homecoming dance meant.
Some professors closed classes for the week or assigned digital assignments and lecture notes to be reviewed. I had already gone through the course work for the first half of the year as it wasn't that challenging. Again, I wasn't here for the degree. If I wanted a challenge later on, then I may take other classes.
Before practice on Tuesday, Joniah and Misty cornered me in the practice room with the guitar. It was only ten in the morning, so it was way before practice. Khelan and the twins actually had classes to attend so I was alone and went to the music hall.
"Can I help you?" I asked the two females who were just smiling at me. It was creepy.
Joniah opened the door, put the guitar away, handed it to Misty. "Lock this up."
Misty nodded and was out of the room taking my morning entertainment.
"You are coming with us. Don't ask questions and don't fight it." Joniah locked her arm with mine at the elbow and took me out of the room stopping long enough for me to grab my bag. Sol stood from his position and followed along, unconcerned.
"Where are you all going?" Fancy asked. She was leaving Mr. Rich's office.
I groaned and it was followed by Joniah. Misty came from the back and she too groaned.
"We're heading to the mall," Joniah answered.
"Oh, yeah let's all go! Mr. Rich isn't starting practice tonight until 5 and all of my girls are done with classes."
I pasted on a fake smile. Online shopping was more my thing. "How are we supposed to get there?" I asked.
"How many can you fit in that big thang you drive?" Fancy asked.
