My principal embarrassed me so badly today. Homecoming is tomorrow, and I just bought my dance ticket for me and my friend(her and I are kinda talking. I'm also a girl) At the beginning of my ACT Prep class(which isn't a real class, we just get ready for the ACT) my principal called me out of my class. I thought it was because I had my phone out at lunch, so I hid my phone and went to go into the hallway. He had me follow him into the counselors office and closed the door behind him. The conversation went something like this: Him: you know homecoming is a dates-only event right? You're not allowed to just bring a friend from another school. Me: *nods* Him: so are you taking her... like.. you know as a date? Me: *nods* Him: so you want to continue with this as a date? Me: *nods* *looks over at the counselor counting the homecoming votes on the floor* *looks back at my principal* Counselor:*stares* Him: *stares* ... okay then, alright. And that was the end of it. It was so embarrassing to have to come out to two people because I wanted to bring this girl to the dance. I hate that there's a "no girls with just friends" rule. Her and I are talking, and I am a girl also, but I didn't want to have to come out. Now whenever I go to the dance, people are going to question me. They're going to say "we aren't allowed to bring friends to the dance. Is she your date?" And it's going to be really embarrassing and terrifying. If my adoptive family finds out I'll definitely be kicked out and I can't stand being rejected by a third family. I cried with my friends in the bathroom during act prep I cried during Spanish the next hour too. My teacher said that she had heard a bit about it. It was only about an hour after it happened how did she hear about it?? I'm just so embarrassed and upset it's not fair that I had to come out in order to bring someone to the dance..
