Your racing thoughts were drowned out by the morning announcements blaring throughout the school, the same message being spread to the students, homecoming, the less exciting version of prom but still an excuse for people to party and buy new unnecessary clothes

A sigh left your mouth, your seat in the back of the class being quite fitting for the mood you were currently in, dark and gloomy. You weren’t quite as popular as the others, sitting alone during nearly every class and every free hour you had including lunch. It had only bugged you when you noticed Eli was around or you caught him staring at you. It was embarrassing, trying your absolute hardest to impress the boy you were crushing on

You were once again snapped out of your thoughts when the door to the classroom slammed shut, Eli walking in, making himself a nice entrance after the bell had rung. You had known him briefly before his whole….mohawk phase, he was sweet and considerate, now he just seemed like a major jerk and you could say that, you were one of his targets most of the time…..Yet you couldn’t help but think who he was going to ask to homecoming, it was definitely going to be someone like moon.
