Search Results: prom night

You're an outcast who everybody taunts, ridicules, and laughs at. You have no friends.
Eventually someone asks you to prom, & for that night, it seems like people are finally starting to accept you. Then when you get named Prom King or Queen, you get doused with a bucket of bodily fluids, and all 100+ people in the audience laugh at you.

Yes this is based off of Stephen King's Carrie.

I'm asking because I've heard some people say that they wouldn't be upset in this situation, just annoyed by being covered in blood.

Little embarrassing to admit, but I never actually went to a homecoming dance (my HS never had them). Now I'm in college, there's a homecoming dance in two weeks, and I'm absolutely ecstatic at the prospect of getting all dolled up for a night. I even have a dress in mind from a boutique back home that I'd consider getting for this (not gonna lie, it'd kinda be a make up of my prom night, since that didn't quite go as planned).

Problem is, I know it's the same sort of "unofficial" rule for homecoming as it is junior prom, that girls wear short dresses (I of course broke that rule, still had a blast). Would it be weird to wear a long dress to a homecoming dance?
