Bloody Homecoming Page #4

All right. Well, let me

just at least check on her

to see if she's all right.

I got a text from Annie.

I can't even find the light.

What does it say?

"Leave me alone. "

See?

What did I say.

Jaclyn, forget it.

We're leaving.

Damn. Really?

Come on, guys.

We still love you, Annie bear!

If you change your mind,

give us a call!

Now what?

I have an idea.

As class president,

guess what I have.

Keys to the teachers' lounge.

Yes!

The game starts in two hours,

and I say we meet up there

after it starts for

a quick break before the dance.

And by break, I mean

booze break.

'Cause I know where my dad keeps

his stash of vodka in the study.

- Let's go.

- Yeah.

That's what I'm talking about.

Yep. See you.

You all right?

I don't know.

That just isn't like Annie.

We knew this weekend

would be hard on her.

Just give her some space,

all right?

You're a good friend,

and that's all you can be

right now, okay?

Yeah.

You're right.

All right.

Let's go.

What are those?

Oh, some prankster

put them in the lockers

of all those kids

responsible

for that Billy Corbin mess.

Mess?

Dan, we lost a student.

I know.

And it's been a real mess I've

had to deal with ever since.

You've no idea

how much money this school lost,

not only

in property-code violations,

but also

in losing that Corbin kid, too.

He had the best damn arm

in the state.

I heard

his Father stopped by today.

He got wind of those notes.

Do they know who did it?

He thinks

one of those kids did it.

I can't say I blame him.

They ruined this town

and got away

without so much as a scratch.

Well...

It's in the past.

What's done is done.

We just... Have to let it go,

right?

Try telling that to Corbin.

He thinks all this

is gonna send his wife

screaming back to the nuthouse.

Hell.

Probably better than living

with that nightmare of a man.

Dan.

That's a terrible thing to say.

Poor Vivian.

I mean, she lost a son.

I can only imagine

what it's like to lose a child.

Since you

were never able to have them,

that sounds about right.

What?

Everybody has got to be

so damn dramatic.

Hey.

Hey. I'm headed

over to the field now.

Can you come meet me there?

I can't right now.

I'm working.

You told me

you were patrolling

the school grounds tonight.

And I am.

But the sheriff is Mia

at the moment,

so I've got some other things

that I need to get done first.

So, what?

You're just gonna have me walk

through that parking lot

all by myself in the dark,

after Annie not showing up today

and those creepy notes

in our lockers?

I promise you, I will

come find you at the dance

- once I'm finished.

- Karl,

what could possibly be

more important than me?

Listen, I got to go.

I'm scared.

I need you here with me.

All right. Call Loren,

have her walk you to the field.

Karl!

Hurrah, and hello,

and welcome to Winston stadium,

all you wild wildcat fans.

Tonight, for one night only,

not only are we celebrating

Winston's annual

homecoming festivities,

but we're also taking on

our long-running rivals,

the maddington mustangs.

What are we gonna do?

Ride... The... Mustangs!

You look so beautiful.

Thanks, but I'm really

not feeling it tonight.

Hey.

Where's Jaclyn?

Is she supposed to meet us here?

Uh, she had to drop

by the drugstore

and then meet Karl

before his shift started.

He's gonna patrol

the dance tonight.

Someone to keep us safe...

that's a good thing, right?

Yeah.

Hey, if you don't want

to do this, we don't have to.

We could go pull a Nora-Robby.

Maybe go to a...

- no. Let's go.

- Okay.

I need to get my mind

off Annie anyway.

- I'm fine.

Mm-hmm.

Knowing Nora and Robby,

they probably won't even show up

to the dance anyway.

God only knows with those two.

Yeah.

Forget it.

I'm totally not going

to the field.

Football is a barbaric sport,

and...

I don't care

anything about it.

We can meet up with everyone

at the dance.

Fine.

So, what do you want to do

till then?

Is sex all you ever think about?

Well, we sure as sh*t

can't do it in this heap.

There's not enough room.

I've got an idea.

Good lord.

I think I've died

and seen my first angel.

You mean your first queen?

By the way,

I did that queen's hair.

Shouldn't you be down

there cheering with your squad?

Queen nominee...

I get the night off.

Well, then...

Come have a seat here,

your majesty,

because this just so happens to

be the best seat in the house...

Right next to me.

Karl, where are you?

What are you doing?

Making sure no one is coming.

Exactly.

No one is coming.

So get down here.

Nora.

Nora, I love you so.

Will you please be

a little more quiet?

Touchdown!

Marry me.

Marry me, Nora.

Ow!

Aw, you're such an idiot, Robby!

What?

I want to spend

the rest of my life with you.

Is that so bad?

It is once we finish screwing

in the back

of Allen Mathis' pickup truck.

I swear, men just don't get it.

What?

What don't I get?

I love you.

What else is there to get?

Robby, if you don't shut it

and let me smoke this cigarette

in peace a minute

so I can think,

I swear I've got a backhand with

your name written all over it.

Look, Nora.

I won't shut up.

I want you to tell me.

Say what?

I want you to say you love me.

I say it all the time,

and you never once... aah!

Robby.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I love you.

I do.

Aah!

Loren.

Jaclyn.

It's okay.

What's wrong?

What happened?

Karl...

he was supposed to meet me here,

but he didn't show up.

But he's working, right?

Maybe he's, uh...

I sent him a text, Loren,

and he didn't even show up.

Come on.

Let's go.

Let's get out of here.

Come on.

The kids will be headed

there from this field soon,

so we'll meet you at the sweep

center in 20 minutes. Copy?

I've got it under control.

Over.

The sheriff's still Mia, Karl.

You'd better stay

on your game tonight.

Copy that, loud and clear.

Well... Let's go for round one.

Ding.

No, I'm not gonna miss

my senior homecoming

just because my boyfriend

is such a...

Twatface?

Yeah.

Thanks, Steve.

Hey, we're gonna

get through this, okay?

Look at me.

I'm such a hot mess.

I got to look better if

I'm gonna find a new man, huh?

That's my girl.

Hey, hey, party people!

Hey.

What's up with that balloon?

I made it

for the senior class and myself

for winning

this year's hall decorations.

So you made yourself a balloon?

Well, somebody

stole the spirit Baton.

What was I supposed to do...

go unrewarded?

Hey, where is, uh,

Robby and Nora?

Probably somewhere

on their backs.

But, hey, how about that game,

huh, guys?

32-16.

Go, wildcats!

Aww, babe.

Nice try.

Tough crowd, tough crowd.

Okay. Well, we're gonna have

to cheers to something.

How about to, uh, old friends?

And new beginnings.

To our last homecoming.

And surviving the night.

Whoo! Cheers.

Mm-hmm.

I am so sorry, dear

I've gotten you

into this mess

go up on one,

come down on two

and take the fabrics
