As it pulled up at the parade, a few things were missing. Shock and hysteria came over all the seniors who had missed homework and hours of sleeps to build this masterpiece. They jumped in the truck and retraced their tracks, finding palm tree branches and a Christmas tree along the way. The float then proceeded toward the stadium.

Murden and Walker reign in ’ Nervousness. Anxiety. Anticipation. All of these were felt homecoming night. As we got up and walked down the stairs, I felt her arm tighten around mine. I knew she was nervous. After we were on the track, I could feel her quiver and shake. Slowly, we moved to the point where her name would be called as a potential queen. “Which way do we turn?” I heard her whisper right before her name was called. Then it came, the name. It was do or die. We walked out, faced the crowd, and then walked out onto the field under the raised swords. It was now that the anticipation was the greatest. They called the name of the Maid of Honor - Whitney Walker. Then it was time, the moment we were all waiting for. They announced the queen - Adrienne Murden. Relaxation flowed through both of us as did our happiness for the new queen. As we moved off the field, we still felt the honor of being on the homecoming court.
