Flashback Friday-Homecomming!

What type of extra-curricular school activities did you participate in during your school days? Clubs? Spelling bees or other contests? Cheerleader or drill team? Sports? Journalism? Choir or theater? Were there any memorable events related to those? Did you receive any awards? Were football games a big deal at your school? Did you usually attend - and was it with a group or as a date? What was Homecoming like?

Okay, when I first read the theme, I didn't think I would have anything to write, but then I read Homecoming, and I have a lovely story to go with this subject. Although this won't be a flashback, since I'm still young, but this happened a couple years ago to me.

I was dating A.J., remember that boy a while ago? Yeah, well A.J. and I were dating and he asked me out to Homecoming, he filled out all of his lovely paperwork, because you know I might be evil or something. So mom and I go shopping for the dress and everything, and it was really pretty (let me try to find a picture). Friday, the day of the Homecoming, the phone rings and the caller i.d. says "CHRS", the acronym for our high school. Mom picks it up and talks to the superintendent about tonight. The superintendent isn't allowing me to go to Homecoming with my boy friend, to a school that I would be going to, because I'm homeschooled. My  mom was absolutely upset, not only did she just spend over $150 for my whole outfit for tonight, but she pays the taxes for schools, and we're in the school district, so I should be able to go to what would be my Homecoming, if I wasn't homeschooled. The superintendent didn't really say anything other than the fact "We're sorry Dawn, your daughter isn't in the school, so we can't allow her to go tonight," my mom knew that the superintendent and our minster had a close relationship, so mom told the superintendent that Rev. Riggles could vouch for me on how wonderful I was, but that did nothing. So in a last attempt made by my mother to get her daughter to her first school dance, she goes "Rev. Riggles will be hearing about this, and he will not be happy to hear the reason for you not allowing my daughter to go to Homecoming with her boyfriend, whom she met while in Jr. Choir at church," and she hung up. I was frankly alright, a little upset yeah, but not a big deal. I called my boyfriend and told him everything, and he said he wouldn't go, which pissed me off. So I forced him to go and take pictures, because it's his Homecoming and he should enjoy it! Rev. Riggles heard the whole story and was not happy to hear how I, a  homeschooler, was treated. In fact most of the town wasn't happy about it. What I did that night instead of attending my boyfriends Homecoming, was put the dress on, do my hair, put my jewelery on, go downstairs and blasted music and I had my own Homecoming.

So I guess my flashback was a flashback to the dance itself, but to the lack there of.

I can't find a picture of the dress, sorry!
