High School Dance Meme

Who doesn't love the iconic, coming of age experience that is the school dance? It's the one time teens are distracted from their scheduled angst, and such a promised event can cause peace at even the most divided of schools while everybody plans for the most important THING E V E R. Getting excited only makes sense. There's the ubiquitous red plastic cups! Questionable fashion choices and haircuts! Playlists filled with early 2000s r&b and slow jams for nervous slow dances!

You better get pumped for this shit, kid. Because that's what you are now, a high school kid, and you're going to the dance - willingly or unwillingly. Put on that button-up dragon shirt, make sure you bring your date flowers...or go stag, because you're a pathetic social reject or something! You do you, bro, and maybe you'll still get to second base.

Comment with your character, preferences, the usual. Hell, include your a description character's totally-not-picked-out-by-mom outfit if you want.
Your character is now a teenager trying to get their crush to notice them, being a lump, having fun, getting all romantic, trying to wreck the whole shindig, or whatever they'd be doing. It doesn't matter what your character is in canon. This is the infamous trash high school AU.
This can be gen or shippy I cannot care less. You can even smut for all I care. Just make it known in your top comment what you want so people will know to reply or not.
Don't just sit there. Reply to others and get out on the floor. They may even play the chicken dance!
In case you need some inspiration: playlist 1 and playlist 2. Tip for a top-level starter could be to link what song your character would totally get turnt for!
