"Homecoming?" Anusha asked, as her friends stared up to the posters along the walls. "Yup, Simon helped me hang them up around the school last night" Aggie answered staring at the posters.

"Damn. 20 dollars for a homecoming ticket?" Alexis asked.

"Something has to fund all the sports and clubs" Aggie shrugged. Lachlan walked up behind them all, "Hey ladies. Like the posters?" They all got scared and turned around.

"Yeah, I rate them" Dylan responded stepping on the other side of Aggie so she would be closer to him. "Uh-You guys going?" Lachlan asked, but instead of looking at all of them, just looked at Aggie instead.

Nobody responded so they could let Aggie answer, "No, dances aren't really my-"

"B-But you have to go!" Lachlan interrupted as everybody took a sharp breath. "Why is that exactly?" Veronica said looking at him.

"Well." He said rubbing the back of his neck, obviously thinking of something to say, until it looked like he got an idea, "She's president, she has to go"

"Oh. Right" Aggie responded, "So you guys are going too...right?" She turned around to her friends and asked.

"I don't like dance-" Veronica was about to say until Dylan went, "We have to go, for yearbook" Veronica groaned in response and looked back to Aggie nodding. Lexi nodded furiously as Alexis and Anusha just shrugged. Nadeen said, "Sure" and Rachael just nodded.

"Homecoming." Vik said blankly as Simon had dragged him over in front of the poster. "Yes! Homecoming," Simon responded smiling. Vik just gave him a, 'Seriously' look as Simon's smile dropped.

An arm slung around both their shoulders and they looked and saw their friend Cal, or as most people called him, due to their being two Cals in their group, Freezy. "Come on boys, what a night to try to get a lady" He said.

"Or" Said Tobi walking up to the three, "To hang out with your friends, and NOT eye up chicks creepily." He said looking at Freezy. Simon removed Freezy's arms and looked back at the poster, "So, Vik you don't want to go?"

"No, not really." Vik said. All three of them looked at him. Harry suddenly joined the group and looked across the hallway, "You sure? I'm pretty sure all the girls are going"

"Yeah, but that's different, they're girls" Vik said as all of them looked at him again, then to behind him, "What?"

"'They're girls.' What's that supposed to mean?" Vik heard behind him as he turned and saw Veronica coming out of the classroom behind him with a camera around her neck. Vik remained silent as they held eye contact. "I'm only going, because I have too, not because I'm a girl" She said setting the camera to the brightest flash and clicking it so it was right on his face.

"Good going buddy" Simon said patting his back and walking away with the rest of their friends. The bell rang and Vik just sighed and went to first hour.

In second hour, a class which most of them shared together, Lexi looked next to her to Aggie. "Hey Agg?" She whispered getting Aggie's attention. Aggie turned and gave her a look to continue. "Don't you need people to like, decorate the gym and the float and stuff?" She asked excitedly, jumping a little in her seat.

"Well, yeah, the gym, someone already volunteered for the float" Aggie responded tapping her pencil.

"Well, what if the girls and I help!" Lexi said as Aggie gave her another look to continue as she looked like she had ideas.

At the end of the day Lexi ran through the hallways dragging Aggie behind her to find their friends. "Calm down now" Veronica said as Lexi approached.
