Who Lysander Strafford & Isabel Langdon What Homecoming Dance When Mid-October, 1996 Where Avalon High School, in the courtyard and beyond Why Because they're not just BFFs, okay?! He's a boy, and she's a girl... and you know what they say about those friendships. Status Private, Incomplete
Lys had to admit, the campus was looking pretty good tonight. There were streamers, balloons, and banners a plenty in the gym and the cafeteria. The tables and been arranged along the walls, filled with hors d'oeuvres of various tastes and chairs had mysteriously vanished, probably tucked away in the kitchen somewhere. And the courtyard! It was decorated in twinkling lights, wrapped around lamp posts, and lining the railings of the second floor. It seemed like someone had sprayed the ferns with something, because they were looking more shiny tonight.
They had just taken their photos, him in a black suit and tie, her in that beautiful fairy-like dress. They looked quite classy, just so long as you didn't notice their feet. For some reason neither of them had bothered with "nice" shoes, preferring comfort to style. But somehow her Doc Martens seemed much more fitting, totally Izzy to Lysander, just like he'd feel out of place wearing anything but his Chuck Taylors.
He could hear the pulsing bass of a Culture Beat song coming from the gym but he didn't head that way yet. Instead Lys made his way to the center of the courtyard, waving a hello to one of the guys from the football team as they led their own date into the cafeteria. He stopped, turning his attention to Isabel with a small grin. "So, now that we've done the obligatory photo thing for our moms... What do you want to do next?"
