Student Council meeting [Lunch time]

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

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?"

"Wow." Blair said flatly. "I didn't realize that we punished stealing with death nowadays. And 'generally destructive'? What does that entail that merits death? Because the students here have had a water fight and threw superballs down the stairs and done some pretty destructive things that I've seen." Blair crossed his arms and glared at Marty. "So should we all be calling for the death of students?"

"No, but then again I haven't been bitten by another student yet," Marty replied.

"Well... not in *that* way."

"But that's what Gremlins do!" Blair waved his hands emphatically.

"People pester and annoy and fight and hit and yell. Has anyone here done that to you?"

Marty rolls his eyes. "Listen... You're not Dian Fossey and this isn't Gremlins in the Mist. Gremlins are a menace. They're nasty and if it comes between me and them? I'm taking them down without a second thought. I can honestly say that I hate them Though I love Monster! Mwah! "

Blair groaned and shrugged. "Fine, man. I just hope that karma doesn't bite you in the ass for that statement."

Blair turned around and walked away mumbling, "us and them? Like he's fighting a war or something. Wimp can't even take a few bites."
