Joy, Depression, Anxiety, Anger,Infatuation: all of these emotions mean nothing to me. I can't feel them. I can't relate to them. I barely even know what they are. My emotions are new found knowledge. Why are people happy when they win the lottery instead of being sad that someone else lost? Why do people get angry that something bad happened to them rather than being happy that they got something different than what was planned? Why do people worry about what's going to happen tomorrow rather than worry about what's going to happen today? It just doesn't make sense to me. All of the students are going to the school's auditorium. Something about announcing the candidates for student council. As I only transferred this year, I really didn't understand why everyone is so excited. Some of the students were excited about finding out who could possibly be their new president. Others were worried that their favorite person wouldn't be a candidate. Soon, the air was buzzing with conversations.

"Did you know? Raven blah blah blah,"

"I bet Aisha will win this again."

"What about Rena?"

And the list goes on. Elesis and Chung's names were mixed in there, too.

I watched these people with interest. It's funny how they adored some people but hated others. I don't really understand the concept of it, but ,from what I gathered, love could possibly be good sometimes. However, most of the times you get either disappointed, angry, depressed, or even worried about trying to impress someone.

"Geez, does these people have better things to do than wonder what everyone except for themselves is doing next?" I thought to myself, irritated.

Soon, someone sneaked up on me while I was watching these fan girls/boys.

"So Eve," said my friend, Aisha, as she approached me, "Who do you think will be the president of the student council? You have a shot. Don't worry, it's fun; trust me!"

Aisha, as a junior, was really short and had a sort of flat chest. Her feelings usually get the best of her, especially when she's around Elsword. She has purple hair, and she absolutely LOVES bats. I think to the point where it could be called an obsession.

"Oh, that's right," I said, recalling Aisha telling me about becoming president 2 years before, "You served on the student council. Also, I don't think I will make it. Not with stiff competition like you."

"Me?! If you haven't forgotten, I don't want to do this again. And candidates are based off of grades. You're the smartest person I know. And are you applying that Rena is competition? Sure, she's smart, but I highly doubt she'll make the cut. "

Rena, also a junior, had green-yellowish hair and had the complexion of a baby. She truly was beautiful. I heard a quote "beauty is only skin deep," and I think this quote can be applied to Rena. She's smart, but she loves showing off her looks at every chance she gets, which I feel is a waste. Especially to Raven and Chung.

"I just don't get it. Why would someone as smart as her condescend herself into a bad position of depression, misery, lust, and hatred?"

"Wait. Do you mean Love? Why not just say the words. Wait. Do you even know what those words mean?"

"Of course, I know what those words mean! And I don't know. Love is a strong word. There's a fine line between love and 'depression,misery,lust,and hatred,'" I said, offended.

Aisha rolled her eyes, "I'll say."

As we pushed the doors to the auditorium, my face met a cold blast of air. The auditorium recently undergone a renovation. There are now air conditioners, and it's much bigger. Not that I care. If I had it my way, they should just increase the size of the library so there will be new books to read. Or maybe even increase the size of the classrooms so the students can have more room and a better learning environment.

"I see they finally added the air conditioner," said Aisha.

"Hmm," I said, looking around curiously, "Why is this so important?"

"Um.. Well.. so the room doesn't get hot and stuffy?," said Aisha.

That was true. Usually the room was so warm, I calculated that it would take 3 hours for you to cook a turkey on a summer day. Or even give someone a heat stroke.

"I meant the election," I said, rolling my eyes, "And besides-"

"COMING THROUGH!" A spiky,red haired boy said, rushing up the stairs and ramming through everyone that stood in his path.

"Elsword," muttered Aisha, under her breath.

Elsword was also a sophomore; however, he got held back. He isn't actually what you would call "the sharpest knife in the drawer," but he has his own strengths. For example, he's really good at sports. He can be a little crazy sometimes, but that's just how it is. Without him, school wouldn't be as interesting as it was. He has red hair, and a medium stocky build, but still, he was a head taller than I am.

"I don't even know why she even dates him," I thought to myself. "Correction. I don't even know why people in general date. It's all just stupid, unimportant infatuation and hate entwined."

Aisha and I found ourselves a place to sit. We heard talking all through the school auditorium about who they wanted as candidates. Soon, headmaster Stella came through. Everyone quieted down, but there were still muffled whispers.

"Hello, my students," she said, overly excited, "It's that time of year again! Where we announce the candidates of our high school president election."

Everyone cheered. I sighed. This was pointless.

"I'll give you the list of names. Their grades go from lowest to highest."

"The 5 candidates are as following: Rena," Mrs Stella said.

A little surprise. Guess Rena pulled through this time around.

"Elesis," Mrs. Stella said.

Hmm.. There's something unusual. Aisha told me Elesis and Ara usually fight for 4th place. But I guess Rena did pull through, so that means Ara and Chung are out of the race.

"Aisha," Mrs Stella said.

Whoa. Aisha hardly even ever got 2nd place in these kind of academic events. Let alone 3rd place.

"And finally, our grand winners-" said Mrs. Stella.

"GET ON WITH IT," screamed Elsword from the front row.

Mrs. Stella glared at Elsword, "And finally, our grand winners are: Eve and Raven with a tie for first!"

Slight murmurs rippled through the crowds. I was a bit surprised myself. How a stranger to them ever made it to the top of the academic food chain.

"I guess we should go up," said Aisha, looking at me. I nodded.

"This feeling?" I thought to myself, "What is this feeling? Happiness? No, then I'll be exhilarated. Sad? No, I don't feel depressed. Argh.. this is so confusing."

I took my seat next to Raven. My arms brushed against his for one moment. It was a small movement, and Raven seemed to pay no attention to it; however, my legs felt mushy. Somehow, I was able find my seat and seemed to have a calm demeanor.

Mrs. Stella looked at us and said, "If any of you would like to reject his or her duty as the student body president please speak now or forever hold your peace."

"Geez, is this an election or a wedding?" I heard Aisha say.

Raven chuckled, "I don't know but didn't you say you weren't doing this anymore?"

Aisha quickly replied, "You already beat me at track and field. So, no way am I'm backing out of this now that you're here. Why? Are you worried?"

Raven answered,"Honestly, I'm a tad bit worried."

Raven was a 5"11 with an athletic build to back it up. He was polite, smart, and apparently athletic. Although he's not brute like Elsword, he sometimes can be a little aggressive. I don't really care much for him, but I don't know why at the moment I felt flustered. He had black hair, and amber eyes. I don't think I remember him ever being this tan. Ugh, what is with people and being outdoors?

"Alright then, students," said Mrs. Stella, "There you have it. These are your top candidates to vote from."

Then, something unexpected happened. Raven turned towards me and said, "Eve, right?"

"What do you want?" I said, a bit harshly.

"I was just saying hi," Raven said, confused.

"Close."

"Huh?"

"Too close. Back away now."

Raven held up his hands like he was surrendering, "I'm sorry?"

"Excuse my friend she is very. Very. Hmm.. How can I say this?" Aisha strated.

"I just don't see the point of trying to sugar coat things. It's like building someone's hope up and tearing it down."

I'm guessing I said something that hurt Raven, since he looked really sad after that. But, let's be honest here, who in the world cares about Raven. That is, besides his fangirls.

Trying to make a conversation, he asked, "So, Eve, how fast can you run?"

I heard Aisha and Rena scoff. And they were right. Under normal circumstances, I don't run. Well, maybe I try to run, but I can't run fast.

"Well, normally, not that fast. But it depends on what's chasing me."

Rena's and Aisha's eyebrows both rose.

"Um.. Okay then," said Raven, clearly confused, "well good job on making it here, I guess."

Shortly after, the yearbook club came and took our pictures. Then, the day went on as planned.

Later on that day, I was walking towards the school gate. As I was passing by, I saw Raven being trampled by his fan girls.

"Do those girls ever stop?" I thought to myself.

As I neared closer I could pick up a few words.

"Raven walk me home!"

"Raven, I'll make you lunch!"

"Congratulations, Raven! You have my vote for president!"

"Gosh," I thought to myself, "Clingy much?"

As Raven caught sight of me, he pushed his way out of the crowd.

"Sorry ladies," he said, "I already promised I'll walk Eve home today."

"Huh?" I said, turning my head towards him.

His amber eyes were pleading, begging, really. Normally, I would've say that he did no such thing, but Raven doesn't seem to be the one who begs.

"Sorry that Raven is walking me, an unsuspecting, stupid, naive, afraid damsel in distress. I guess," I said, quickly realizing they weren't buying it, "Er, I mean, oh! What will I ever do walking home alone?" in a dramatic voice.

All the girls looked at me and then at Raven, "She doesn't seem to want you to walk him home."

Raven sighed and pushed aside the girls all groaned and started moving away. Soon, they all attacked Elsword and asked him to bring them home. I wonder what Aisha would say.

"Thank you. But you obviously wouldn't make it into the drama club." Raven said, smiling, "I owe you one. By the way, where do you live?"

"Continental Place," I said, unamused.

He rose his eyebrows, "Oh?" he said, "I live 2 blocks down at Clearview Drive. I'm assuming that you live in the Oakridge neighborhood?"

Oakridge neighborhood was the most prestigious neighborhood in the state. Only the richest of the rich lives there. Raven's family obviously earns a lot of money.

"Yes," I said, "I do. My family owns Nasod Inc. We produce mechanical goods."

"So I heard. My family owns a fashion industry. Several, actually," Raven said, "Sometimes I have to do a bit of modeling, but eh, I don't mind."

We walked the rest of the way in silence. I could tell that Raven was awkward. True, walking in silence was not desirable, but we only just met. Soon, we got to my front yard. Raven escorted me to the front gate, and watched to see if I got safely inside like a gentleman.

"See you," said Raven.

"Huh? Oh, yes, bye," I said, smiling tightly.
