The election for class president is about to begin.
In or Out (Part 1)
"We have a very special day today, class," began Mrs. Weighsaton.
"You're giving up that stupid mandate about weight?" retorted Kelly.
"Don't be silly, Kelly. Today, we're going to vote for student class president. They will be against someone else and the winner will help decide what goes on at the school, within reason of course. We just need two to volunteer as candidates and two more to volunteer as their assistants," continued Mrs. Weighsaton.
"I vote Persephone," called Marcus.
"Persephone, do you agree?" asked Mrs. Weighsaton.
"I don't do all that well under pressure. I tend to get really nervous, especially when big questions are asked," admitted Persephone.
"We'll help you," assured Kyle.
"I don't know. I've never done this before. I don't know what to say when the time comes, or anything like that," added Persephone.
"I'm sure you'll do fine. You've done well so far at this school. Why not step out of that comfort zone and take a chance? You might actually win," suggested Mrs. Weighsaton.
"I......guess I will give it a try," said Persephone nervously.
"Now who will run against her?" asked Mrs. Weighsaton.
"Count me in," declared Sarah.
"Good girl, Sarah. You will run against Persephone for class president. Who's going to help our candidates out?" questioned Mrs. Weighsaton.
"Marcus and I will go with Persephone," replied Kyle.
"Figures. I guess I'll have go with my squad," muttered Kelly.
"Me too. I'm with Kelly," said Samantha.
"Then it's settled. Tomorrow we'll have our first debate. Use this time to prepare yourselves for the big day. I don't want any general discussion so that you can bring your very best. No cheating or you're automatically out of the race. Make sure to split into groups so that your opposition doesn't hear you" confirmed Mrs. Weighsaton.
"Have either of you done this before?" asked Persephone.
