                                            I was invited to a homecoming even though I am a homeschooler, but the next time I asked the inviter about it, she said I'd passed the registration and I couldn't come. So I'll be stuck at home the same as all other years. I actually thought I was going to do something normal.

Honest, Raw, Simple.
That's what this haiku is.
