Student Council [Friday, Lunchtime]

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?"

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."
