Homecoming 2012

[Esme Russel]

Esme felt guilty for not being as perky and cheerful as Jonathan deserved so she was going to force herself to wake up so she could dance the night away and then have a sex marathon back at the hotel. She could sleep when she was dead! Or at the very least tomorrow when she and Jonathan weren't celebrating the last homecoming that he was going to attend as a student and she heard a rumor that he was a shoe in for prince so he definitely deserved to have a perfect night. She smiled at him like he was her lord and master when he brought her over her cup of punch and cookie. "Thank you, babe." She murmured as she lifted the cookie up off of the plate and took a bite out of it. "You're really sweet."

She glanced around the dance floor and smiled when she saw Danny and Jett together, maybe things would work out between them afterall. She ran her fingers through her hair after she finished her cookie and kept her eyes on Danny and Jett in hopes that something romantic would occur between them. "Jon, do you regret it? I mean.. the fact that you settled down one girl and can't explore your sexuality like Danny and Jett?" She didn't want to upset him but she had been thinking a lot about the things that he would never get to do. "I mean... I tied you down with two kids before you're eighteen and ... I'm sorry that we can't drink with Raine and Elliot or dance like Jett and Danny." She felt guilty about this.

Every day.

Every second.

Every minute.[/size]

Carol was really starting to resent this chair. Especially since she'd heard she was a shoe-in for Homecoming Queen, and she couldn't even dance with her boyfriend. What was Wyatt supposed to do? Push her around to the rhythm? Or maybe they could go all Twilight and she'll dance on his feet...she brought her crutches so she could dance a little, but her cast was really heavy. It went from her foot up to almost her hip. She lucked out from having to get a hip spica cast when the doctors decided to operate when she was already in the hospital. They were pretty sure she wasn't going to be able to walk for a few months, maybe even a year, so why not just get the surgery over with, right?

She was able to hide her cast with her dress and lean against Wyatt for pictures, but there was no was she could use her crutches all the time, especially not tonight. The cast just just too heavy, and her crutches hurt her armpits. Maybe she was just a baby, but the chair worked better.
Being wheeled through the entrance and into the dimly lit dance floor, Carol wasn't even sure about this anymore. What was the point? So what if she won queen? She wasn't going to be able to walk on stage to get the crown. She'd have to be lifted. And her dance...she didn't even want to think about how awkward that was going to be if it was with anyone but Wyatt. She'd probably crush his feet with her stupid cast, and they'd only be able to kindasorta sway if anything at all.
She leaned her head back against his stomach, "Babe." She called over the loud music and pulled him down by his tie to talk to her.
"I'm sorry I dragged you here. Should we just leave? I feel so stupid, and I know I look like an idiot. Can we just--" she choked up on her last word and let go of him to wipe her eyes. Now she was being as ridiculous as she looked.
She shook her head, "This was a mistake," she started to turn her chair around and leave, not wanting to embarrass herself any further.

Jett was serious when he said he couldn't dance. And it was a shame too because he actually liked the song the was blaring over the speakers. Gen had done a great job with the dj and he was thankful of that. He tried to follow and copy what everyone else was doing and it was proving to be working so far. "Yeah, sure." Danny had placed his hand on his shoulder and was just about to show him something that was probably awesome... until the song changed to something slow.

"Woah." Jett said as his eyes widened and his face blushed. He whipped his head around to see if anyone had noticed. It didn't look like anyone had, or if they did, they didn't care. After careful consideration, Jett smiled at Danny. "Well, I can slow dance, thanks to my parents." He laughed to himself and moved in closer to his friend.

"Dude, we should act gay and see how many weird looks we get!" He announced. Was he seriously going to dance with another guy? Well, it was just for shits and giggles. There had to be some kind of fun happening at homecoming, so why not make the night interesting? "Right foot, left foot, I'll lead, okay?" Inside, Jett was bouncing off the walls at his genius plan (that I stole, sorry Maggster <3) to get closer to Danny, he just hoped he'd go along with it. Jett rested his hand on Danny's shoulder and offered his other in kind of a waltz styled fashion.

[Danny Dubois]

Danny laughed when Jett said they should 'pretend to be gay'. Why he hadn't thought of that cover up himself, he didn't know. But he wasn't gonna bring it up. "Dude, that'd be hilarious," he said with a chuckle as Jett moved closer. "We should totally talk like this," he said, using his best lisp. He was happy to see it made Jett smile.

When Jett put his hand out for what looked like a waltz, Danny shook his head. "Nah man, if we're gonna give them a show," he moved in closer and put his hands around Jett's waist. "Then we're gonna give 'em a fucking show!" For someone that liked what was happening, Danny was sure playing it off like it was no big deal. But he loved ever minute of it. Especially being so close to Jett.

This had been a very trying week for Benji. First, Alex told him a horrifying story about butt sex and the necessity that is anal lube, and that had made it damn near impossible for him to check out his girlfriend's rockin behind without picturing it bleeding and her blaming him for ruining her ability to poop. And then when he was shopping for a corsage with Jeremy, he was instructed to buy condoms because "everyone was getting it in" on homecoming night. So naturally, Ben was a big ball of nerves.

Lulu and him had barely even...Well...she...they...To put it lightly. There were certain nights where clothing was an optional thing, but there was no D in the V.

Or even an F in the V. Or H on the P. Or QRS. Wait, I'm confused... I thought we were just naming random letters. 7.

He couldn't stop thinking about one thing, and he felt like a horndog for it. He hadn't told Lulu because he wasn't even sure if he himself was ready to have sex. If he had to chose though, he'd want it to be with Lulu. They hadn't said I love you yet, but he felt it. He was waiting for the right moment, and maybe...maybe tonight would be the right time.


He leaned down to her as they were fast dancing."I know I've already said this like a million time, but you're the prettiest girl here tonight!" He planted a kiss on her cheekbone and danced around her in a circle, watching for her reaction.

In case you didn't catch it. The italics are Ben's thoughts. Isn't he precious? <3

[Elliot Gates]

Elliot wasn't really paying attention to Raine and what she was saying. His mind was elsewhere, and he was itching to show Raine her surprise. When he finally mustered up the courage to ask her to come with him, he turned around and looked confused. She had moved from where she was, but he quickly found her over by Estelle- that was a given.

Raine was still glaring at Danny and Jett who were kind of freaking Elliot out with their dancing.. maybe they were each other's date. He shook the idea and turned to Estelle. "Excuse me miss, but might I steal your lady from you?" He asked, taking Raine's hand. He leaned in and whispered to Raine, "I have something for you.. come away with me."

Lulu wasn't dumb -- she knew Homecoming was a special night that would be particularly special for a lot of people. She didn't think too much of it, though she definitely wondered whether or not this would be a 'special' night for her and Ben, as well. They hadn't spoken about it, not that anybody ever really spoke about or discussed that kind of a thing, but, she certainly thought it would help in some weird way. Would she regret it if she got with Ben that night? Of course not. Would she want to? Of course. But, she didn't want to think too deep into that. Tonight was going to be fun, and she wasn't going to stress herself out about something that may or may not happen, right? Right... heh...

Her hair was curled and left down in waves, and she loved her dress... well, dress, romper-ish type thing. A romper dress. It didn't matter, she felt like a princess. It was a little much for Homecoming, but hey, she's Lucinda frickin' Jordan -- she does what she wants and wears what she wants, ain't no one gonna tell her what to do.

"And you are most definitely the handsomest boy here," she grinned. Lulu never got tired of Ben's compliments, as frequent as he might have said them. It was sweet, and it caused the butterflies in her stomach do little swirls, "I wouldn't want to spend tonight with anybody else."

"Uhm.. Okay that works too!" Jett smiled. He could feel his hands getting a little clammy as he stepped closer to Danny. He followed Danny's lead and placed his own hand awkwardly on Danny's hip. He could literally feel his heart about to beat right out of his chest and he looked up at Danny. He was maybe two or three inches taller than himself, which he didn't mind. It was nice not being the tallest in his group of friends.

As the song progressed, Jett stepped closer and closer. He wanted to be closer to Danny, but he was honestly scared that doing so would get him punched square in the face. Well, they were being the life of the party right? And it was only for fun so.. why wouldn't it be okay to go all in with this.. act? Jett closed the distance between them and rested his chin on Danny's shoulder.

He wasn't being pushed away yet, which was a good sign, right? "Danny?" Jett asked with a shaky voice. He pulled away from Danny and looked at him with unmistakable eye contact. It was clear what his next move was going to be, but he was just trying to talk himself into it. Jett leaned into Danny's face and gave into his feelings.

He kissed Danny. He kissed him long and gentle before pulling away with wide eyes. Fuck. He was just waiting to feel the sting on his face from Danny's fist. "I.." Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. FUCK. What had he just done? "I'm.. fuck.. I'm sor-" He swallowed hard and backed away from him. "I didn't mean.. I'm not ga- bye." He stuttered and ran away. He ran straight for the front door of the gym and to his dorm. What had he just done?

[benji]

"Au contraire, mon cheri," Ben replied with a really bad French accent. "I think that guy," he pointed to a sweaty overweight sophomore salivating over the varsity cheer captain from the side of the dance floor.
"That guy has me beat," he winked at her and then laughed as the song shifted to a slow jam. He took her hand in his, and placed his other on her hip.

"Seriously though, you look amazing. I'm not sure how I got so lucky," with as many compliments as he paid her, you'd think half of them were lies. But he meant it every single time. He always thought she looked beautiful, and felt the need to tell her whenever it came to the forefront of his mind.

Which in retrospect is a lot, and that's not even my fault. There's really not very much going on up in here. It's like boobs, boobs, drumming, taquitos, the color purple, possible names for the gerbil I'm convincing my mom to buy me, and then Lulu comes up like every two minutes.

"I don't know how you didn't get nominated for queen. I mean...I would have nominated you myself, but I couldn't find the student council office." Three years at this school, and poor Ben was still finding classrooms he never knew existed. This place was like Narnia. NO! Hogwarts. Definitely Hogwarts, but with less magic.

[Danny Dubois]

Danny felt a sudden warmth when Jett's body pressed against his. And there it was again, stronger this time, when he felt Jett's chin atop his shoulder. Sure he'd danced with about a hundred girls, and plenty of them had done this exact same thing. But none of them even came close to making Danny feel what he was feeling now.

When Jett pulled away, Danny was prepared for a "ha dude we totally messed with everybody's minds". But what he received instead was far from that. Before he could say, do or think anything at all, Jett had placed his lips against Danny's. Shocked, Danny stood wide eyed and awkward for about a minute. But when Jett didn't move and the kiss only grew deeper, he let his eyelids fall and let himself take full advantage of this moment. It was a beautiful kiss.

But just as quickly as it had come, it had gone. Danny didn't really mind when Jett pulled away.. he figured he was just as shocked. Honestly, Danny hadn't expected their first kiss to be so long and wonderful.. so he had to give Jett some credit. But before he could say anything, Jett was gone. After dropping his hands from Danny's waist, Jett had practically sprinted out the gym doors leaving Danny standing there, in a crowd of people, completely alone.

Within the few seconds it took to watch Jett leave, Danny felt his heart shatter into about a million pieces.

He felt cold all the sudden. That warm, light and fuzzy feeling he'd had earlier was gone. His hands were heavy as they hung at his side and his knees were shaking. A single tear rolled down his cheek as he looked around. A couple people were looking at him, but he didn't really care. He didn't care about anything. Nothing mattered.

As he headed for the door, Danny was stopped by a few of the guys from the football team. They had a couple girls with them, each looking sluttier than the next. "'Scuse me guys," Danny said, looking down as he tried to get past. "Going after your boyfriend?" One of them joked. Danny looked up. Fucking assholes. Pushing by, Danny burst out the doors and began running down the hall to escape the names that were chasing after him. Name upon name filled his ears. No matter how far he got, they still rung in his ears. Even after he'd gotten to his dorm, they were still fresh; like those boys were standing right next him yelling.
