A Homecoming to Remember By Chelsea Gray //I will never find another lover sweeter than you, sweeter than you//. The sound of K-C and Jo Jo's "All My Life" rang through the loudspeaker at the homecoming dance as Marissa and her boyfriend swayed back and forth.

“Baby, I love you,” Wayne said as the two moved to the beat. “I have never seen a girl do her thang like you do boo. You amaze me."

On the dance floor a group of people began to stop and stare at the couple. //OH MY GOD!//, they thought. Marissa Barnes is at homecoming with Lil Wayne?! No one could believe it and to tell you the truth Marissa couldn’t believe it either.

“Wayne, baby, is this really happening right now?” she asked.

“Yeah, I’m here wit chu,” responded Wayne. Suddenly while Marissa was staring at Wayne, she noticed him checking out another girl.

“What exactly do you think you’re doing?” yelled Marissa as she quit dancing. There was silence in the gym and even the sound of K-C and Jo Jo's voice seemed to disappear.

“Girl what chu talkin about? I wasn’t doin nothin,” Wayne yelled back.

“I saw you staring at that girl. Don’t think that you can get away with that kind of thing. I won't put up with it,” argued Marissa.

Suddenly out of nowhere Marissa’s ex-boyfriend Alex showed up. “Why do you think that just because you’re some big hot shot rapper that you can treat this beautiful woman however you please?” yelled Alex.

“Man this ain’t any of your business. Why don’t you just go back home to yo momma and let a real man deal with this issue?”

“Well see the thing is, when you’re treating Marissa in a inappropriate way, I’m going to get involved whether you like it or not.”

Feeling threatened, Wayne throws a punch at Alex’s face. The problem with this is Wayne is a very muscular African-American male, Alex is simply a skinny white boy who is in a band.

Marissa became frightened for Alex's safety and immediately became angry with the both of them. “Stop it! Just Stop it! I don’t want two people that I care about to be getting in a fight over me. Wayne if I can’t trust you then it’s over. Alex can you stay here and talk to me for a second?

“But Rissa, baby I don’t want it to be over. I love you girl,” cried Wayne.

“You should have thought about that before you treated me the wrong way,” explained Marissa.

As Wayne walks out the double doors from the gym to the parking lot the last words he hears, “//And all my life I prayed for someone like you, and I thank God that I...that I finally found you.//” Too bad he just lost her. Tonight wasn’t his night.
