fandomhigh | Student Council meeting [Lunch time]

Josh sat at his desk eating a sandwich and flipping through the Washington Post as he waited for the members of the Student Council to arrive.

He pointed to the sign-in sheet when they arrived. "Welcome to the new incarnation of the Student Council. I know most of you, but for those I don't, I'm Josh Lyman. I teach history, government, and politics now, but up until a few weeks ago, I was the deputy chief of staff for the Bartlet Administration. I'm here to tell you that actual politics bears a shockingly close resemblance to Student Council work--the only difference is the national government has more funding and we spend less time worrying about school spirit and pep rallies."

Josh swung his feet onto his desk. "Because there are twelve of you representing the various classes here, I want you all to have an equal say--but we do need one person to be more equal than others. Someone who wants to be in charge. Someone who, and this is very important, isn't me."

He rubbed his hands through his hair. "First order of business, then: who wants to be President?"

Angel beamed. "Great! He totally adores you. I know he'll be in good hands. I'm not putting you out or anything, am I? Tell me if I am. And who's Hank?"

"Awesome, man! I'm so pumped, I've never dog-sat before but I promise I'll do a good job and when are you going to pick him up? It's no problem at all!" Blair grinned.

"Man, that's right, you haven't met Hank yet! Hank is my new potted (http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a144/footontheground/LS020531.jpg) plant. It's something that I can talk to and it's sorta like a pet. Except it's a plant. Well...really now it's a seed in a pot, but it's going to be a plant soon!"

"Congratulations," Angel said. "You might want to keep Hank on a shelf just so Sean doesn't knock him over.

"Pickup. Huh. Don't know how late the date's going to go. Don't want to wake you up if you're sleeping. How about I drop him off tomorrow afternoon and pick him up sometime Saturday? You'll need to take him for a walk at night and in the morning ~~which you don't actually have to RP if you don't want to~~. Is that still okay?"

"No problem. I promised Hank that I'll keep him safe." Blair bounced. "Saturday morning is good, that way you'll get lots of rest after your date. Don't worry about me and Sean...I'll walk him and make sure everything's great!"

"Great!" Angel gave Blair a friendly clap on the shoulder. "Thanks. I owe you one. How's things going by the way? Still feeling sick?"

"Nah, man. I'm over the flu, but I gave it to Dr. Wilson which sucks." Blair thought for a moment. "Other than that, everything's great!"

"I'd say, especially since you won." Angel smiled at him. "Congratulations, by the way. I really think you'll be great at this."

"Thanks man! I was totally surprised because I didn't even vote for myself." Blair leaned closer and whispered. "This is also my first time being part of...you know...The Man."

Angel nodded sympathetically. "I can't imagine what it might be like to to join an organization you hate so you can try to fix it from the inside. ~~Mostly because I can't see a few years into my future.~~"

"Yeah, man. But there's people I trust on here, so it should be cool!"

"It looks like a pretty active and excited group," Angel said. "I bet we'll get a lot done this year - or at least try."

Blair bounced happily. "That's the attitude to have, man. Positive!"
