Summary: Kelly's thoughts on being Head Girl.
Head Girl
Being Head Girl at St. Trinian's is more than just a position, or something to look good on a job application. It is a state of being.
Other schools will have you think that it is all about school pride, and being an upstanding moral citizen in the making. At St. Trinian's, being Head Girl is about being a leader to those who will never be followers. It is about keeping a semblance of Order in a school populated by the Defenders of Anarchy. It is about being a cool and rational mind among a bunch of girls, most of whom have a bloody disco party going on upstairs.
It is also a measure of who you are. People looked at the Head Girl before me, J.J., and saw a pretty blonde girl who fought impossible odds to graduate and become a P.R. genius. J.J. was always very good at making people see what she wanted them to.
We St. Trinian's girls saw through it, of course, knowing that she was one of us, that she was a woman who would do great and terrible things, but the rest of the world saw a miracle, and J.J. used that image to skyrocket to where she is now.
I am not J.J., and that is one of the most important things to remember when you take on the mantle. I am the one who basks, unashamed, in what we are. I am the Bad Girl who takes the label and makes it part of her, who never pretends to be anything else.
I am the Femme Fatale who spearheaded the mission to steal one of the world's most famous paintings, saving the school from bankruptcy.
I am Head Girl because I can lead this school. I am Head Girl because I can empathise with all of the cliques and stop them from killing each other. I am Head Girl because I understand and love this Mad-House, and can make it into something great, while still remaining our same, unique, selves.
Just another day at St. Trinian's.

A/N: My first St Trinian's fic, so I hope I did it justice. I'm thinking of doing Annabelle next, once I get the next movie. I'm not from the UK, so I didn't see it at the movies and had to order it online, but still.
Constructive Criticism is more than welcomed.
