CHARLOTTE GREENE!

The students roar.

"Woohoo! Go Charlotte!"
"Go Greene!"
"FINALLY!"

Laurel hugged Charlotte. "Go up there! Say your acceptance speech. I'm really proud of you!"

Charlotte smiled excitedly. "I'm proud of me too, " she whisper-shouted. "Alright, I'm gonna go."

Charlotte made her way to the stage, gracefully walking up the steps. "First off, thank you all so much!"

The crowd cheered.

Charlotte rambled on about what she would do for the student body, and her "speech" was pretty unoriginal and cheesy. Really. Cheesy.

"Aw, you guys. This is such an honor. I think you all are gonna make me cry!" She said as she waved among the crowd and then hugged the principal. She proceeded to wipe away a fake tear.

"Wow, VERY political, Miss Greene." Laurel said, punching Charlotte's arm.
"Ow! Ha, anyway...Will you help me take down my posters after school? "
Laurel sighed. "Sure, I guess."
."Great!" Charlotte walked away and greeted her admirers.

Charlotte was shook. "WHAT?!"
