Life In High School

"Let me help you with the that,Mr.Henry"I said as our class teacher walked in.I had already cleaned the board,arranged the class and dusted the tables.

"Thank you, Tracy"

"Don't mention it"I said.

"The class looks neat,the board has been rubbed off... your tables and chairs  look neat and are in order... what's happening?"

"Tracy went crazy...and she started to do the unexpected...she did all of this"The annoying Evan said and I just rolled my eyes.

"That's very responsible"

"Don't mention it... mention it"I said with a big smile on my face and walked back to my seat.

"So let's talk about last week's topic...does anyone have anything to say?"Mr Henry asked and I raised up my hand but then I noticed another hand in the air.I looked sideways and I saw the evil one, Tyrell.

I glared at him and rolled my eyes.

Always getting on my nerves.

"Mr.Henry...I'm cute and friendly... pick me"

"Okay Tracy, let's hear what you have to say... first you tell us the topic"

"We talked about science and technology"

"Okay,go on"

"Science and Technology has helped the world in many ways,it has improved the quality of life...it has helped man in the increase of food production,it has made working easier for people, it has helped man to save energy and do many things more quickly and easily.I think science and technology has been of a great benefit to the world"I said and everyone clapped.

I felt so proud of myself as I took my seat.

"That's really brilliant"Mr Henry commented.

"Thank you,Sir"I replied.

"You are really responsible"He said and I smirked.

I know.

I looked at Tyrell who was already looking at me.He smirked and looked away.

Oh,is someone feeling jealous or what?

"As you all know, tomorrow is the class committee election and I would like just two students to compete for the post of a monitor...a boy and a girl,any volunteers?"The teacher asked and Tyrell raised up his hands.

"Tyrell, please come forward"Mr.Henry said and Tyrell walked to the front of the class and stood on a spot.

"Any other volunteer?"Mr.Henry asked.

This is my dream.

I raised up my hand and walked to the front of the class without waiting for my teacher to reply.

"What do you think you're doing?"Tyrell asked me and I glared at him.

"Watching you lose"I replied and he looked away with a confused look on his face.

That's the type of face I love to see.

So confused.So annoyed.

Ah! I'm so wicked.

"Okay,so we have two contestants... Tyrell and Tracy...so please drop your votes by tomorrow...but I would like to hear why each of them are competing for the post of a monitor"Mr Henry said to the whole class.

A speech? We're to say a speech?

I hate speeches.

"I'm competing for the post because I feel I'm capable of being the monitor of class ten... I'm not trying to brag but I'm responsible and humble... I've always been the monitor of my class since childhood... I'm really experienced in this"Tyrell explained and I just rolled my eyes.

He's saying it like it's a good thing... this guy is unbelievable.

So what?

Who cares if he's been the monitor of my class ever since childhood?

Who cares?

"That's wonderful, Tyrell"Mr.Henry said and everyone clapped.

Wonderful? Wonderful?

"Your speech, Tracy"

I hate the word"Speech"

"Hi... everyone...uh... I'm... Tracy Devin... I'm competing for the post of a monitor because I have always wanted to know how it feels to make rules... meaningful rules...you all may... look down on me and think I'm not perfect for this post...but do I have to be perfect before I can be acknowledged?This is life...I gotta live it... I think other people should be given a chance to prove themselves...just like my opponent, Tyrell said, he has always been the monitor of his class ever since childhood which is true...but don't think it's high time we give other people a chance... other people like me...are you all with me?"

"Yes!"

"Do you still wanna live in bondage?"I asked

"No!"

"Do you wanna be free?"I asked feeling so energetic.

"Yes!"

"Then I believe we can do this together as a team"

"Yeah"They all cheered and clapped.

"I would appreciate it a lot if you vote as the monitor of class ten"I said with a bow and walked back to my seat.

"Wow, Tracy...so energetic"

"Thank you,Sir"I replied with a big smile on my face.

"Gather up your votes tomorrow and submit to me tomorrow"Mr.Henry said as he walked out of the class.

Just then,the bell was rung and everyone rushed to my seat.

"That was cool"A girl named Emily said.

"Thanks"I replied.

"You aced it"Andrew said and I smiled.

"I shouldn't have doubted you... maybe you're responsible after all...but why the sudden change?"Tiffany asked.

"Nothing"I said and she left.

I looked at Tyrell and he looked at me.I glared at him and he glared at me.I stuck my tongue out at him,but he looked away and walked out of the class.

Awww...poor baby.

I don't even feel a bit touched.
