"It's D-day people!" Suho said clapping his hands together, "Win or lose, I want you guys to know that I couldn't have asked for a better team." He beamed earning a round of cheers from the people around him. Today was finally elections day, by the end of the day the school would have a new ruling regime."Now remember voting ends at six o'clock, try not to miss it," Libby shot a pointed glare at the beagle line who were goofing around. She was about to continue when they heard commotion in the hallway. They all exited the classroom to find a bunch of cheerleaders parading around in barely there mini-skirts as well as the school band with pounding on drums and blowing trumpets and trombones.
"Is there a parade I wasn't aware of?" Chanyeol asked.
"Kris! Kris! He's our guy! If anyone can do it Yi Fan can! Gooo Kris!" the cheerleaders chanted taking the parade outside where they did some acrobatic flips. Libby and the others followed and watched the whole fanfare unfold.
"Vote for Kris." A tall guy with dark rings around his eyes shoved a Kris poster in Libby's hands.
"Tao?!" Suho exclaimed, betrayal evident in his voice. "You said you were neutral! Have you been helping Kris behind my back?"
Tao flushed. "Sorry Suho oppa, but Kris ge-ge knows my weakness." He said with a bowed head.
"D-did he just call you oppa?" Baekhyun snickered.
Suho face palmed, "He bribed you with Gucci didn't he? That good for nothing son of a..." he stopped himself and took a deep calming breath. He didn't want to make a scene but apparently Libby didn't get the memo.
"What the hell is this?" she screeched, "this is grounds for disqualification!" you could practically see the steam coming from her ears. "We are not allowed to campaign on the day of elections. I need to find Ms Shin Hye." She said seething.
"Actually the candidates are not allowed to campaign on election day but your supporters can campaign for you." Fatima said walking out from the crowd that had gathered.
Libby's disposition darkened even further. "And you expect me to believe that you're not behind this, you're Kris's running partner that makes you a candidate too."
"I merely suggested the idea and Tao over here took care of the rest." Fatima smirked patting Tao's head like he was her pet. Tao shifted uncomfortably on his feet trying to avoid Suho's hurt gaze.
"After everything I've done for you." Suho mumbled under his breath.
Libby scoffed. "You think cheap last minute tricks like these would get you votes, there's nothing on earth that could possibly help you win this election." As soon as the words were out of her mouth a loud cheer erupted throughout the school. Girls started swarming over a bunch of guys that had just arrived in a white limo.
"Are you sure about that?" Fatima smirked. As if on cue, the crowd broke out in cheer as a white van parked out front and a popular boy band stepped out wearing vote for Kris buttons.
Chanyeol laughed; "This look like a scene straight out of a cheesy k-drama."
Libby snarled.
"You," she pointed at Suho, "We need to do something now or we're screwed."
*******
"We're screwed." Suho lamented slumping down in his seat. They were in the auditorium awaiting the results, only the actual candidates and a few other students had shown up. Most people had better things to do with their Friday evenings.
"Cheer up hyung, it's not that bad." Kai tried comforting him. In the end Suho and Libby couldn't come up with any useful last minute plans other than have the beagle line and some of their other popular friends vouch for Suho.
Libby had been scarily quiet since then ignoring any attempts at conversation. Currently Chanyeol was squeezing her cheeks trying to get her to smile only to have his hand slapped away.
"Yoda I am this close to ripping your bloody hand off!" She held up her index finger and thumb leaving a small space in between them. "¡Eres un imbécil," she mumbled under her breath.
"I love it when you curse in Spanish!" he smiled goofily. Libby grabbed his ear and pulled his face level with hers,
"Another Spanish thing I'm good at is using the Spanish Tickler." She whispered in a menacing tone that Chanyeol chose to ignore.
"Ooh sounds kinky, what's that?" he smirked.
"An old torturing device." Libby said with a bright smile and a flip of her curly hair. Of course it had been straightened this morning but it hadn't lasted even an hour.
Chen and Baekhyun howled with laughter behind Libby and Chanyeol, before Chen began reading aloud from his phone;
"The Spanish Tickler is a metal claw, sometimes attached to a pole. The victim is bound, naked, by each limb so that they cannot move and the torturer uses the sharp claws of the tickler to shred flesh and break bones. Usually they started with the arms, then moved to the chest, back, neck, and face. This almost always resulted in death." He read the words to Chanyeol.
"Alright everyone, the votes have been tallied." Ms Shin Hye announced. She was the overseer of the elections and also happen to be one of the school counsellors and Drama teachers.
"We'll start off with the Ministry of Sports and Recreation. I'll be calling out the results for all candidates, the victor will come up on stage after." She said.
"Mark Tuan – 349 votes. Jackson Wang – 351 votes." She announced.
"Aww c'mon, just two votes! JB, Jinyoung where are you, you traitors, I know you didn't vote for me!" Mark cried out causing laughter to erupt, he didn't seem to down about it though as he hugged Jackson before he went upstage.
The other results were as follows:
Ministry of Student Welfare – Do Kyungsoo
Minstry of Entertainment – Jung Hoseok
Minstry of Health – Kim Taeyeon.
Baekhyun let out a huge cheer at that, making the girl blush as she went up stage.
Minstry of Academics – Kim Namjoon.
Treasurer – Kim Minseok
Secretary General – Song Hyun Ae.
"And now for the presidential position," Ms Shin Hye said. It was like at that moment everything went still, people held their breath and the tension in the room increased tenfold. Fatima threw Libby a gleeful smirk that Libby ignored. This would not only determine who became President but more importantly who the ruling queen was between Fatima and Libby.
"The presidential candidate who came out victorious won with 450 vote to 254." Libby's heart was beating in overdrive.
"Please welcome to stage, our Vice-President Shin Norma Libia and His excellency Kim Junmyeon." A round of applause went out through the auditorium. Libby had to be dragged by Suho off her seat when she sat there unmoving.
All she could hear was white noise in her ears, she didn't even know how she made it to the stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I give you your ruling cabinet for the year." Ms Shin Hye announced with a smile before congratulating each of them. Suho then stood at the podium.
"I would like to thank all my voters and my team. I wouldn't have done this without any of them. Especially my wing woman Libby. I swear to uphold my promises and make this year the best you've ever had at Gemstone Academy for Performing Arts." He said proceeding on to give an eloquent speech. He then motioned for Libby to come over when he was done.
She stood at the podium for a moment before recovering herself and smirking, locking eyes with Kris and Fatima.
"Suck it losers!" she shouted.
