Chapitre 40: Homecoming Committee
"Ok guys once you come in go on by the table and grab a refreshment then go find a seat." Dana told us while directing everyone around.
"I'll grab us donuts and coffee you find us a seat." I told Lyra pointing over to the chairs.
"Ok. Get me a chocolate donut with sprinkles." I give her a nod and walk over to the refreshment stand.
Since me and Lyra signed up to be on the homecoming committee, we have to show up to the informational every Monday, and todays that day. Walking over to the stand I look around and see what they have. Donuts, cookies, juice boxes and coffee. Better than they did last year. I spot the last chocolate donut and snatch it up quickly before anybody else grabs it. Holding the donut in one hand I grab myself two chocolate cookies and a juice box.
As I turn around to walk over to Lyra a figure stands in my way. Looking up I see it's no other than Tara Tang, one of the Blondes. I look her up and down to take in her appearance. Her strawberry hair flows loosely down her back.
She's wearing a crop top shirt that says baby girl that's paired with a checkered skirt and black ballet flats. She crosses her arms across her chest trying to pump up to make them look bigger than what they were. I look down at my chest to see I have absolutely nothing to pump up.
"Hey Tara how nice it is to see you." I say to her plastering a fake smile on my face.
"I know I love seeing me too." She responds back to me while glossing her lips. "Anyways so I heard through the halls that you and Myers broke up."
I shake my head and roll my eyes. She's been waiting for me to break up with Myers so she could sink her claws inside of him. I saw the way she would cut her eyes at me and him in the hallway.
"No we took a break. What's it to you?" I ask her while shifting the donut from my right hand to the left.
"As you know Myer's was mine before you dived in a stole him from me. Now since he's rid of you, like I knew would happen, he'll want someone new and fresh and that's me." She said flipping her hair.
"Look, mess with him and you mess with me. We may not be talking right now, but he's still my boyfriend." I roll my eyes at her and head over to where is. I hand her the donut and then sit my bag on the ground.
"What did Tara want to talk to me about?" She bit a piece of her donut out and turned all the way in her chair to face me.
"She wanted to know if Myer's was completely single." I tell her rolling my eyes.
"You know Tara is always trying to show someone up. He may get with her and then throw her to the dogs once he's done. Girls like Tara aren't meant to be a kept woman." She wipes her mouth with her napkin and takes another bit.
"Yeah, you're right. Quiet down Dana's about to speak." We both turn our attention to Dana.
"Hello guys I'm Dana Bellows the chairwomen for the homecoming committee thank you all for signing up to participate. Now today I will be telling you of the different jobs we need filled. We will need people to work on the floats, a couple of guys need to make posters, print tickets and some to decorate the gym for the dance. There are signup sheets on the table right behind me so you guys can sign up for whatever you want in a few minutes."
"Now what I want to talk about is the safety regulations and what we all expect from you guys." She said continuing on.
After 45 minutes of reading everything out to us she was finally done talking and we all proceeded over to the signup sheets.
"So, what are you going to do?" Lyra asked me while reading the signup sheets.
"I was thinking of doing the homecoming float. Last year I did tickets I was bored out of my mind." I sat in a hard and uncomfortable chair for over 2 hours handing out tickets, it was the worst.
"I remember that. I honestly felt bad for you and you know I never feel bad for anyone." She's not lying she doesn't. "Well, whatever you do I'm doing; you will not be leaving me with some randoms."
"I'll sign us up then." I pick up the homecoming float sheet and put our names on it. "Ok ready to go?" I asked her.
"Yeah, come on." We say bye to everybody and head down the hall.
"Gosh I forgot I have to turn in my essay, can you wait by my car for me?" I asked her.
"No, I will not. Call me when your done I'll be with the cheerleaders." She throws up a peace sign and heads out the door.
Walking into Mr. Jefferson's room I see him conversating with some students. When he sees me walk In, he dazzles me with his perfect teeth and penguin tie.
"Hey Quinneth you got the paper for me?" He asked rubbing his hands together. He has been waiting to read my essay, everyday trying to get hints of what I will write.
"Yes, I got it." I tell him. Reaching into my bag I pull it out and hand it to him.
I wait there for a few minutes as he skims over the essay. "Stacey Abrams nice choice. The vocabulary is fantastic, great hook and thesis. I have high hopes for this, next week Monday is when I will send it out." He says tucking my paper in the drawer.
"Well alright I'll be seeing you tomorrow." I tell him. We say our goodbyes and I head back down the hallway. It's so nice walking through the halls after hours, so peaceful and quiet. Walking through the front door of the school I make a turn onto the football field.
Looking around I see Lyra in the middle of the field talking to some of the cheerleaders, specifically Mary, Kate and Khadijah. As I get closer, I overhear their conversation.
"So, the dress that I have decided to pick is strappy satin lavender dress with lavender sequins." Lyra says as the girls stare at her phone.
"Lyra your ass is going to literally pop out of that dress I'm so jealous." Kate says making a popping noise with her mouth. As they keep talking Mary notices me walking up and acknowledges me.
"Hey Quinn what's up?" She asked as she puts her brown locks in a pony tail.
"Just turned in my paper to Mr. Jefferson." I tell her.
"Damn it. I haven't finished mines yet." Mary responded back to me in a huff.
"If you need help or anything just text me."
"Really, thanks Quinn. With cheerleading, National honors society and FLOA it's a lot to juggle." Khadijah rolls her eyes at what Mary said.
"You do know that most of that crap means nothing in the real world, right?" Khadijah says to Mary.
"It does for college. We all can't have rich parents like you Dij." She said sneering at Dij.
"Hey I have to work for what I get. Can't help it my families is rich." She's got a point.
"So, Quinn I heard Myers beat up Will." Mary said in a concerning voice.
"Yeah, he did. I don't know what's gotten into him." I told her shrugging my shoulders.
"It's Male masculinity." Kate said. "They always feel like they have to protect you from anything like I've been protecting myself before we knew each other. It's all for the ego." She tells me.
"You guys still together?" Mary asked.
"We are on a break I just need to clear my head and focus on myself."
"OR to focus on your rich sugar daddy." Dij said sticking her tongue out. What is she talking about? I looked at her with a confused face.
"They're talking about Alexander." Lyra tells me.
"Yes, he's rich, but money isn't everything." Kate said.
"I can't believe he bid 10,000 dollars he really must like you." Mary says in a sure tone. "When's the date happening?"
"Tomorrow actually." They all gasp in excitement.
"We are totally coming over tomorrow. Don't object because you have no say so in the matter." Khadijha tells me putting her finger up at me.
"Fine, fine but don't say anything weird to him I'm looking at you Dij." She puts her arms up trying to look guilty.
"I tried to make my move on him at The Blondes party, but he wouldn't have me he was too busy asking questions about you." She told me while typing on her phone. Asking about me? Asking what?
"Wait... He was asking about me. What happened?" I asked curiously. All of us looked to Dij for answers.
"Well, I don't remember everything because I was blacked out drunk, but he asked about you, personality wise." We all usher her along to say more. "Annnnd I told him you were a goodie goodie and a good friend." Hey better than stuck up or something like that. "He's into you Quinn you better snatch him up and quick.
Look we got to go and work on some cheers catch you guys later." Khadijah, Mary and Kate all walk away and that just leaves me and Lyra.
"I don't know if I should go on the date anymore." I told Lyra as we linked arms.
"Why?" She asked.
"Because now I know he def likes me and... what If I can't move on." I tell her. I still have strong feeling for Myers, even know we are on a break and not speaking to each other.
"Look only time will tell don't beat yourself up about it. The world is our oyster you have all the time in the world."
"You always know what to say."
"Hey that's what best friends are for."
