well this is awkward
Who: Rico and Charlotte
When: Right before the shit hits the fan
Where: Homecoming
When they called her name, Charlotte entertained the idea of running in the opposite direction - for all of about ten seconds, until she felt a sharp push at her back. She never looked to see if it was Helena or Lily, figuring it was about 50/50 either way or perhaps even both of them. She just took a deep breath and headed towards the stage. She got her crown and sash, all the while feeling like this had to be happening to someone else. A year ago she didn't have a single friend here. Then she met Lily. And Ransom. For a long time, that had been it. Yes, she started that club last May, but how did that put her at homecoming queen status?
They were expected to dance, and Charlotte felt a little bit like throwing up at the idea. Her face was a million shades of red. Charlotte Angel was not the sort of person who liked being the center of attention. She wondered if Rico being here with Lily made that better or worse. Better, probably. Okay. She could do this. She put on a shakey smile and allowed herself to be ushered down to the dancefloor by one of the members of the court.
