I never went to a homecoming dance. No guy ever asked me and, at my school, if you weren’t asked by a guy, you didn’t go. The idea of a bunch of girls — or guys — going as a group was a more recent development in the history of high school homecomings. Besides, I wouldn’t have had anything to wear. And I certainly could never ask Grandma to buy me a fancy dress for just one night. And the costs didn’t stop there. Even if you did your own hair and nails and didn’t tan or buy the photo package, you still had to pay for the ticket and flowers. That alone was more than we could afford.

Tracey Carmichael had to rub it in that she and Chase were going to the homecoming. Her dad did the whole limo thing, too. Only hers was going to be a white stretch limousine with a fiber-optic starlight. I knew this because she made it a point one day to stop and tell me as she and Chase were walking by. I’m sure she waited until Chase was with her.

Tracey stopped in front of my locker as I was bent over getting the books I needed. “What color’s your dress?”

I stood up and turned around. “Excuse me?”

“Your homecoming dress. What color is it?”

“I’m not going.”

“Why not?”

I knew that Tracey knew the answer to that question and the only reason she asked it was because she wanted to embarrass me in front of Chase.

“I have something else that night,” I lied.

“Glad to hear it’s not because you don’t have a date,” Chase said. “Because I’m sure there are a ton of guys who would love to take you.”

Tracey jabbed Chase in his side with her boney elbow. “What’s that supposed to mean?” She emphasized the “that”.

“I’m just sayin’ that Sarah’s a pretty girl and there are probably lots of guys who would take her,” Chase explained.

Uh-oh. I was in trouble again. Chase said that word “pretty”. I knew that he was only trying to be polite, but Tracey was going to make me pay – again.
