Finding a date for homecoming, two words: awkward and scary. Especially when turning down the gentlemen with twelve red roses.

Now Arrowhead students are grabbing their closest friends instead of a date to homecoming and ditching the normal routine. Arrowhead students have found the way to down the hurt from not getting asked or getting rejected by going with friends. Between asking someone, getting rejected, and making plans, finding a date for homecoming is right up there with the most stressful things in high school. Guys (and girls) go through the trouble to ask someone and then get turned down. It may never be a fun situation but that doesn’t mean that hope should be given up. As a substitute, take your friends to one of the biggest bashes of the year.
