I'M BACKKKKK!!!

WARNING: BULLYING, MAINLY FROM A CERTAIN SPIDER GAL.

JAKE POV

Alright so here is the summary of things that have happened. School had started. Dirk had become my partner. Aranea became the new student. Vriska was the student council president at the time. Aranea had revealed to me that he was an alpha. He figured out that I was an Omega. He had also kissed me. I was raped by the school's gym teacher. Our school was on the verge of diversity between classes was becoming nonexistent. Vriska was willing to split the school, but we stopped her. Now the race for the school's student council president is on between Aranea, Vriska, Terezi, and Dirk. We only have a month to get everything situated. So much has happened, and I wasn't sure how to cope with everything. The one thing I want to do, I can't do because I know he'll get upset. This whole situation is my fault to begin with, so I have to see this through to the end. From what we all know things were going to go like this. The first week will be the week the candidates will begin their campaigns and deliver speeches and put up posters around the school. Week two is all about the performance of the candidates, how they do in other events from parental meetings to school events and organization to being able to speak and represent the school at other schools. The third week is about their ways of giving to the students in the school, what would they give back to the student body in exchange for their support. And the fourth week is voting week. Everyday votes will be casted by grade levels and by their classes on the chart. A whole bloody system that really needed to change. Mainly because alpha and beta votes counted more so than a single omega vote, which made it all unfair.

But now is the time to keep on supporting my partner as he goes through this stage of war with the school and student body.

The first day in it was all about getting the people to talk to each candidate as they take in what the student body wants. As Dirk paraded the school talking with several students here and there, the rest of us got his campaign materials ready. We managed to create posters, buttons, and a slogan. Though the slogan was more or less brought up by Dave.

Striders stride with pride.

Not the best slogan I'll admit, but heck it was something at least. What could a lad do? We all gathered and worked hard to hand out flyers and post up banners and posters everywhere. But we also noticed that the other candidates were also doing the same, and we noticed that some of our posters were either colored on or torn. Some of Vriska's were burned literally. And some of Aranea's were covered in nicknames for him. The only ones that were touched with Terezi's mainly because they were hand drawn by herself, so there was really nothing to do about those. Especially since she's also blind. No one really wants to mess with her pictures like that. I guess it's a moral thing? But since when did these teens ever gain some sense of morality? It's weird.

In any case, we watched as Dirk spoke with some of the students. It was admirable. We took glances to Aranea who was just as stunning. He spoke with a smile, he was calm, and he would write down everything he would hear. Vriska was recording things here and there and Terezi was doing the same, but unlike those dressed in a presentable fashion, she was just in her regular tshirt and jeans. Honestly, I wasn't too shocked.

By the time the lunch bell rang, me and Dirk finally managed to get some time to ourselves. We sat on the roof like always and leaned against the fence.

"It's too bad we can't keep to ourselves up here..."

"Eh? Why not Dirk?"

"Well I kind of called for a meeting with the other candidates. There's something about this whole election thing that won't play fair with everything....and I think you know what I mean,"
