Natalia's High School Manual [COMPLETED ✔]

CHAPTER 35: The Election Day [✔]

           GREAT, now I have to endure school on my own. I feel betrayed, knowing that Nathan and Scott maybe talk to each other to be absent today. I mean, it’s literally election day and they chose to be gone.

“Geez... I guess it’s just you and me again, my manual,” I whispered to myself.

          I walked down the hallway, waiting for the lection day to starts. I get into my classroom and waited for my turn to come. I mean, the previous committee will got five people from each classrooms to vote every ten minutes. They said that it would help them became as organized as possible and also, it will avoid being biased to the candidates of the election.

            As they called me out to vote in the chosen classroom where the election will be held, I felt anxious, knowing that people will saw me vote all of the members of my party list. But of course it was so expected of me to do that. I need to support my fellow members... Even though Scott and my bestfriend aren’t even here.

          After writing our name, I dropped the card on the ballot box, where in all the decisions of the whole school is waiting to be find out. Students are staring at me, and it was a bit surprising seeing how they flashes their sweet smile towards mine as I walked out of the room. I guess our final speech during the last day of the campaign helped us a lot to win over the crowd... Though it’s not yet confirmed, but I hope our team can handle the results if ever.

“Natalia!” It was the freshman student that I’ve encountered two weeks ago.

         She’s flashing a grin over my direction, and I couldn’t deny the fact that she did a great job pushing us to the limit. Because of her, our team had a huge advantage on this election.

“Hey!” I waved back.

“I’m pretty sure you will win! I voted you and your whole team...”

“Thank you so much... How are you doing today? I mean, is Freeda and her group bullying you or anyone in your year?”

          She shook her head before smiling widely at me.

“Nope. Maybe they are afraid that we will speak up again if ever,” she confidently stated.

“That’s nice to hear. Well, I need to get going now. Again, thank you so much...”

“You’re always welcome!”

         I walked away, thinking how lucky I am having an acquaintance just like her. I don’t even need Scott and Nathan today, for talking to that freshman student really made up everything. I sighed, before realizing that I haven’t got her name yet. Though it’s just fine for me. I mean, knowing a person by their attitude and personality is way better than knowing them just by their names.

         The afternoon came. After lunch, people started to run over towards the front of our school billboard. I guess the results are already out, and it wasn’t so surprising at all for the previous members of the student council are all active and reliable.

            I pretty much found out the result even before I arrived at the location of our school billboard. People bumping into me were starting to congratulate me, that’s why. Though I’m still nervous that maybe that wasn’t true for I haven’t confirmed it yet. And I also don’t want to be a part of student council if ever that Freeda won over Nathan. I mean, I surely couldn’t work comfortably around her if ever.

“Congratulations, Natalia!”

“Congrats!”

“You did it!”

            I just smiled at them, before I made my way towards the front of the billboard. There, I saw my name printed right next on the position of secretary. I couldn’t believe it. I won. I just won over Elyzz.
