Prom Gone Bananas...Literally. Another Tale from our Shoppers!

"There's a girl at my school who isn't very nice, to say the least. One of my good friends is really pretty and always has the hottest boyfriends. She's really nice too, so you can't get mad at her. The 'mean' girl I can call J.

At a dance earlier this year at our school, my group walked into the gym and J immediately came over to my gorgeous friend--I'll call her S--and made fun of her dress. S has dark skin and wore this awesome goldeny yellow gown. J called S a banana. How dumb is that? S just smiled and said thanks.

Later on in the night, S won this prize we all voted on. Of course. It was kind of like prom king and queen, but small town style. The principal crowned S with a plastic tiara from the Dollar Store. When she stepped off the cinderblock stage, she walked right up to J and said, 'I guess bananas are in season.' We all nearly fell over laughing. J shut up and really hasn't messed with S since.

I can't wait to see what happens at the next dance when we're all seniors."
