Definition of a Typical Gig Harbor Homecoming Dance.

An excuse to have an even where a pretty girl that has scene friends get a date that is too old for her. Her friends like him and think he's cute and really think they are the sweetest couple ever. But then she and her date kiss during a slow song while her scene friends are dancing like freaks to "attract the guys" (did I mention they dress slutty even though they are super unattractive?) and they see their friend and her date kiss.

Somehow they pull her away and go to the bathroom to talk and they are half excited but also think it's too soon for kissing. That makes the girl act more confused than she was. And avoids the guy by her friends pulling her away or just dancing with other girl-friends. He gets all confused and asks her friends what's up. They say she's confused, and defensively suggest staying away for a little, and somehow they become more pissed at the dude than their friend was.

Then the dude avoids her when his date tries to start getting all mushy and back in his arms again because he's offended the kiss changed so much. Then she asks what's wrong and he grudgingly says that he thought the kiss meant something and shouldn't cause all this confusion. She's hurt because she was over the confusion and just wanted him. Her friends are really pissed at her date now and try and "protect" her from him by suggesting getting water, going to the bathroom, or dancing with a massive group of girls.

Then homecoming is ruined.

I didn't go. I've gone twice. I've seen this both times. I know it happened a billion times this year with freshman and sophomores especially. It's an excuse to make easy drama. I bet you that was the story of many many dates.

I hope the prom is a little less drama filled.
