nominated myself.”
                  “You filled out a ballet for yourself ?” Jill laughed. “Is that even possible?”
                  “Do you think that the President of the United States votes for someone else?” Penny replied.
                  “This is homecoming !” Jill reminded her. “The annual event were bratty kids fight over who is prettier.”
                  “I think that it would look good on my college application,” Penny said turning her head. I could feel that Jill’s tirade against homecoming was having a negative effect on her, so I chimed in the conversation.
                  “That’s great,” I said smiling at Penny. “I hope you get the nomination. If you had asked me to, I would have voted for you in a heartbeat.”
                  “Thanks,” Penny smiled at me. Suddenly, a chime played over the intercom. “Oh! That’s the pep rally call! Time to go, ladies!”
     

Pep Rally
     
                  The halls were flooded with students on their way to the rally. I had to hold tightly onto Penny’s book bag as she led up through the crowd. Once at the entrance of the gym, we saw the stands quickly filling with bodies.
                  “Hurry!” Penny screamed as she ran toward the steps up to an empty row of seats. “Let’s get these ones!”
    We followed her as we pushed through swarms of people buzzing in the massive room. When we finally found reached seats, others tried to push us off of them, but Penny held her ground.
    “That was pretty awesome,” I laughed as I watched Penny’s hair fly about the place, warding off potential seat predators.
    “Peppy rallies are vicious!” she yelled. “Don’t trust anyone.”
    “Good to know,” I smiled.
    “ She’s insane ,” whispered Jill.
    “I heard that!” Penny yelled before something caught her eye. “Look, Jill!”
    “What?” Jill asked annoyed.
    “It’s your boyfriend!” Penny pointed to the floor where a group of teachers and students were setting up some of the production lighting.
    “Where?” Jill asked as she sat upward in excitement. It was strange for me to see her become so perky in an instant.
    “See him?” Penny asked as she leaned into me. Her finger pointed at a tall, thin guy parted hair. His school uniform seemed to hang off of his arms as though it were several sizes too large. “That’s Allen Dunbar, also known as Jill’s weakness .”
    “I’m in cute nerd heaven,” Jill said seemingly in a trance just as the room went dark. The crowd began to cheer, and I clapped along with them. Penny seemed to be the most excited as she wildly mashed her hands together and made loud noises toward the stage.
    “Mayville Academy!” shouted a voice over the loud speaker. Everyone cheered even louder. “Give it up for your ringleader, Principal Bale!”
    The crowd was not as enthusiastic to hear from the principal who made his way to the podium. He was a large man with dark colored hair and skin. His shirt and tie seemed to protrude outward as he walked.
    “Before we get started,” Principal Bale began. “I’d like to address the events that took place during the halftime of last Friday’s football game.”
    Sounds of laughter echoed all around the gym. Teachers standing on the sides signaled the students to quite.
    “Go, Cade!” yelled a guy from the center of the crowd. This caused even more of an uproar.
    “Let’s all be mature about this,” Bale said. “I want you all to understand that this prank is also a sex crime. Because of the delicate nature of the event, Mayville Academy is going to catch who is responsible. This person will be indefinitely expelled. Anyone with any information is requested to contact school administration. If you know who is in charge of the prank, the reward will be no homework for a week, which will be quietly upheld so that your identity is not given away. Thank
