senior challenge #3: homecoming
My school doesn’t have a football team, so I never went to a homecoming dance or something similar. But my junior year, my friend Violet who goes to a different school was going to take me to my first “real party” after their homecoming game. I remember being really scared and excited and nervous, both wishing that the game would end because it was excruciatingly boring and that it wouldn’t so I wouldn’t have to go confront drinking and partying quite yet.
It turned out that the girl hosting the party, someone from Violet’s and my middle school, got caught and had to cancel because her parents came home a few days early. And I have yet to be in that kind of situation again.
