Songbirds and bugs

As told

"Ladies and gentleman! New students of the Blossom Academy!"

A bold voice told, with a burning passion, as long as a generous pay.
The proud sound came from the stage, place I should be anytime soon by now.

"I'm proud to present to you the new candidate for the title of president!"

I can hear clapping and cheering from the crowd, they all want me, they desire me.

"Our popular, gorgeous and smart Monika Ninshiki!"

More. more is the perfect word to describe heavenly this situation.
More cheering...
More people...
More fans...
More work...
More pressure...
More requests...
More me.

I'm slowly dragging my body on the centre of the wooden stage, whom is decorated with a simple gold-looking plastic on the edge.

"Good evening to all, to men to women, to children and elders. I'm Monika Ninshiki! A third year student of the Blossom high school.
My want is to proclaim the position of future president mine, I'll do everything is necessary to get better and finally become the best president of all.
Maybe it will sound ambitious to most of you, but trust my word, wait and see, you'll see me in a crown.
I thank you all to have come here to listen to my words, it means so much to me, thanks again"

My monologue was overzealous and a bit crappy, but how could you blame me, I sorta made it up in a few days.
I have to go through this two days a month, making it truly stressful, and my stupid body doesn't seem to handle all the pressure.
One day I'll crack, and the people that praises me so much now will look at me smeared, shattered and destroyed on the floor.
I feel bitter... again.
I guess it can't be helped, sometimes you just have to let thing pass by and never care about it.

My body's quivering, maybe I'm just cold...

"Excuse me, can i..."

I only heard muffled sounds coming from someone in the seats in front row.
Could be the day I fold today?
I cannot let it h-happen...

"HEY MONIKA~!"
Someone called out, making me snap out of my trance, and fortunately I was in the backstage.
Oh, it's just-
"Gwen, hello there. Exited like always I see"
She nodded at speed of light, this girl is more energetic than everyone I know
"You slayed girl. I just love your vibe"
Wow, she sounds like the yellow Heather from the musical "Heathers".
I soon took notice I wasn't in the back stage, instead I'm in the infirmary
M:"Why are we here?"
Jun:"W-well, you kinda collapsed and hurt yourself"
M:"I not remember to have fallen, you must be mistaken"
Gwen:"Jun is right, sorry"

Wait, so I fainted on the stage...
I fainted on the stage...
no it cannot be...
HOW COULD I LET IT HAPPEN?
