"Good morning Pomona High! On this bright morning we are having the students running for student body president give their speeches." Our principle's voice sounded through the intercom.

Why right now? I hate this time of year when they give the speeches.

It was too early for this. I let my head fall onto the desk. Last night after dinner, my mother had me recite scripture until ten and then I had to finish my homework assignment for my History class.  

It's been five weeks since I was in trouble and my mom took my phone. Five weeks! I haven't had my phone for. Five. Weeks. The withdraws are setting in.

I hadn't talked to Dallas as much. The only time I would see him was in the hallways at school and even then we didn't really talk much. I was starting to miss him.

I peeked over my crossed arms at Paige who had her head down in front of me too. It was too early to give a crap about something so meaningless.

Our first candidate is Jack Harrison. I heard the sharp sound of the microphone as it was being passed the Jack.

As Jack started his spiel about less homework and more lunch time I closed my eyes and let myself catch up on sleep I missed last night.

I felt a sharp tap on my head and I looked up to see Paige staring at me. I shrugged as if to ask what and she pointed to the intercom.

Jade's voice started to tumble out of the speaker causing me to internally cringe. Of course she was running for president. She had to be on top of everyone in this school, metaphorically and literally.

"Good morning fellow students of Pomona High School. I, Jade Collins have decided to run for Student Body President this year to insure a few things to better your career as a high school student. Those things are as follows: Shorter class time, longer lunch period, changes to the dress code, and to make sure students like Sydney Olsen don't corrupt anymore students with her screwed up life."

I immediately lifted my head as students looked my way. What the hell is she up to.

"Sydney is a bad influence on the students of Pomona High and I have proof." I heard shuffling and then a recording started.

"I need you to take that video down." I gaped, trying to figure out what was happening. She was going to tell everyone that Ryan was cheating on me? How was that going to effect me other than making me look like the victim?

"What video?" Dallas' voice had been changed slightly, more deep than usual. She was making sure that Dallas wasn't part of this.

"You know what I'm talking about." I heard myself accuse.

"Oh, that video. I'm working on it. The video should be taken down my tonight." There was a pause in the video, almost like there was work done on the video.
