Expanding Clifford:A Michael Clifford Fanfic {COMPLETED}

Chapter Two

Cloud's POV

Student Council. I've always wanted to be apart of it. I didn't win in fifth grade because I came down with the flu and wasn't able to participate. This year, that'll change. I'll win. Dad even helped me with my poster. I get bullied because of my name, but I like it. I have my dad's weird sense of humor and Elizabeth inherited his habit of cursing. Mom is constantly bickering with her about it and slipping in her own colorful language. It was the weekend before the elections and I was nervous. My mom's cousin, Becca, and her husband, Luke, came to chat. Elizabeth said hello and went to her room as usual.

"Just like me when I was her age." Becca and Skylar replied. Then Uncle Ashton and Calum dropped by. I call Ashton, Calum, and Luke my uncles even though they aren't. Ashton brought Lauren and Harry too.

"So, bud, how's the election going?" Becca asked.

"I'm nervous about it! I really hope I win. I have my speech and my poster and my picture and everything is in order, but I don't think everyone will think its enough."

"Cloud, you'll do fine!" Luke piped up.

"They'll be idiots if they don't elect you!" Ashton added.

"I think you'll get all the ladies if you make it," Calum jumped in. Mom glared at him and whispered something about me being only eleven. "I-I mean, you'll get much more respect."

"Tell them about your slogan, Cloud," Dad suggested.

"Oh, yeah! It's 'Cloud Clifford is the Proud Clifford! Vote Cloud Clifford for Stu. Co.!' Dad helped me with it!" Everyone laughed a little and clapped.

(Skylar: IM A MOON CHILD!)

"Very creative," Becca said, gripping onto Luke's hand and rubbed her thumb across his wedding ring.

-skip to nine o'clock-

"Well, it's Sunday night and the kids have school tomorrow, out of my house!" Dad screamed playfully. I laughed along with everyone and said goodbye. I went upstairs as mom and dad stayed downstairs to watch a few movies. I opened Elizabeth's bedroom door because I was wondering if she was asleep. I opened the door and I saw her on her phone, talking seductively to the person on the other line. She screamed at me to get out and she threw a pillow in my direction. I ran downstairs to mom and dad.

"What is it, bud?" Mom asked.

"Elizabeth was flirting with someone over the phone!" I said in a rush. But dad apparently heard because he took the nearest hard object and ran up the stairs to Elizabeth's room. I heard dad yell "Hey!" And Elizabeth screamed in response. Oh, no.
