The hallway was crowded with people as I was walking to my locker. I seen a crowd of people huddled in front of a wall.

I walked through the crowd as I wanted to get a closer look at what was going on. When I got up to the wall I seen two pieces of pink paper written in black sharpie. It was the nominations for homecoming king and queen.

Curious I looked down the list.
I figured Brittney was nominated she the most popular girl in school.

Then for king I seen Brandon was on the list also figured that since he is the most popular guy in school then I seen my name..

Maria came up to me.

"Congrats," she said laughing.

"Is this a joke."

I said as we were walking away from the crowd to the cafeteria I was wearing my cheer uniform and Maria had black joggers and a white supreme hoodie.

She put her hands in her hoodie.

"No people just like you," she said.

"I just think it's kind of weird with everything going on."

After we got our lunch we found an empty table.

"So are you still going to do it?" she asked.

I thought about it the last thing I wanted to be seen as weak.

Brittney has been trying to break me but that's not going happen.

"Yea I'll do it."

"Plus I get to buy a new dress,"I said taking a bite of my turkey sandwich.

"Yea causes you do need some new clothes," she laughed.

"Whatever girl," I said laughing

Antonio walked up and they started talking.

"Hey Mo can I talk to you later,"she said.

I told her ok and her Antonio started walking off holding hands.
When did they start dating?

I was sitting at the table finishing my food and listening music on my phone. When I saw Katy the only nice cheerleader that's nice to me.  I pulled out one of my earbuds and looked at her.

"Hey do you want to sit with us?" she said in a friendly tone.

Why not.

"Sure,"I said.

Then got up and followed her to the middle of the cafeteria where Brittney and all the cheerleaders were sitting and I sat down next to Katy.

"Hey, congratulations," Brittney said to me with her famous fake smile.

"Thanks, I said seeming unfazed.

"Your not nervous are you since your still new here,"she said looking at me.

"No not at all."I said with a smile on my face.

"Well since everyone is here let's talk about homecoming,"she said.

She told me that girls nominated for Homecoming Queen have to wear a red or white formal dress.

"Hey, are you free Saturday?"she asked.

"For what,"I asked.

She handed me an invitation it was to her birthday pool party that day and then the sleepover that night.

"So can you come," she asked again with the fake smile.

I honestly wasn't interested in going.

Also I knew she didn't want me to come. But if I turn her down for no reason that wouldn't look good for me since she invited me.

"I'll be there but could I have a plus one ?"I asked.

"Sure", she said.

The bell ringed and I went off to class which was Art. I walked up to the classroom door and I saw Maria standing by the door talking to Antonio. They looked cute together.

I wonder if Brandon and I would look cute together. .

I walked over to the back and sat at a table and start pulling out my sketchbooks. Before the bell ringed Antonio left and Maria sat next to me.

"When did you two start dating?"I asked

She told me they been on and for over a year now.
I told her about the awkward moment that happened after she left. Then I pulled out the invitation that Brittney gave me.

"You want to be my plus one?" I asked.
