Student Council [Friday, Lunchtime]

[bigdamnprincipal]

Considering how certain parts of the semester were going (thank you very much, Jamie), Zoe was glad to have something to look forward to in the first Student Council meeting. The classroom where the council usually met was set up again with a large table and chairs, and there was pizza ready for the taking.

"Good afternoon. It's good to see all of you together," she said, once everyone was settled. "Congratulations on a successful election, and I hope you're all ready to get to work. Our first order of business is to decide who the Student Council president will be. If any of the seniors would like to be considered for this position, you'll have a chance to discuss your merits, and then we'll vote." Yes, she said if. She wasn't going to assume just because she'd seen these kids in action. "After that, we've got to hammer out the details of Parents Weekend, because it's coming up fast. So, who would like to speak first?"

If you'd like to be considered for the job.

Um, of course Annie was going for president. She'd practically been writing out a speech just in case she had to use it since she first started putting up posters.

"Hi, so I'm Annie," she said, like no one knew that by now. "I may be new here, but I think I'm presidential material. I'm still pretty new to Fandom, but I have a fresh perspective and want this council to be more than just dances, since people keep talking about that. I'm hardworking, full of ideas, and I strive to be the best and push others to be their best too. I worked extremely hard on my campaign- a campaign which I think is the best reason why you should vote for me- and tried to get out there to the people, and I have some things that they've suggested that I'd like to really push to get done. So... basically, I want to be your Student Council president because I'd be the hardest-working president you could ever have, and I'll give you nothing less than the best. Thank you."

She was not good with the short speeches, this one.

Quinn drew a deep breath before speaking. This was the only actual competitive part of the election, and she wanted to do as good a job with her speech as she could.

"Hi, I'm Quinn," she began, even though she was pretty sure she knew the entire council. "I've been a student leader since I was a freshman, both here and at my old school, and I'd love to finish my high school career as student council president."

"I agree with part of what Annie said: We should be more than just dances. Last year with sorority, we did a lot of fun stuff, but we were also able to host some real fundraising and educational events. I hope to carry that over into council."

"I respect my competitors and their work, but I have the best combination of drive, leadership experience, and knowledge of the school. I'd be honored if you voted for me."

Yeah, funny thing. Wesley hadn't wanted to be elected at all, to begin with, but recent developments had helped change his mind a little. He supposed he could thank Kenzi for that. So after the others had gone, he stood up and faced the group.

"Er, well, as you know, I'm Wesley Wyndam-Pryce," he said a bit nervously. "I, ah, I've had certain, er, experiences recently that have truly shown me just what this school has to offer. There are so many resources at our disposal, and I believe that as Student Council president, I can help to put them to excellent use. We can arrange drives to benefit students' home dimensions, and even help to better our own community. And also, as co-leader of the Reserves, the single most productive student organization in opposing invasions, I'd like to work to provide workshops for students to equip them with basic skills in the event of an invasion catastrophe."

Yes, Wes, you'd already been elected. Get to the qualifications.

"Having worked in leadership roles in the past, I believe I have the experience needed to prepare me for this position, and I believe that my ideas can create a more safe and philanthropic student body. Er. Thank you."

Don't mind Annie, Wes. She'd just be over here, judging you so hard.
