The door to Dove's bedroom slammed open. Aly and Dove both looked up in surprise as Sarah stormed in.
"I just can't believe it!" she cried. "Those stupid Rittevons always win the election and none of them deserve it!" She plopped down on Dove's bed, sighing dramatically.
Aly and Dove exchanged looks. Even though Aly was the same age as Sarah, Dove found her a very refreshing change from her popular older sister. And she already knew that Sarah was a huge drama queen.
"Yeah, Sarah, it sucks, but it's not going to change unless someone else actually runs against them." Dove said. "I was just chatting with June, and not even Mr. Dodeka can do anything about it because no one else has volunteered to run."
Aly nodded. "She's right, Sarah. And who'd run against Hazarin?"
Suddenly Dove sat up straighter. "I've got it!"
"Got what?" Sarah asked.
"You've got to run for Student Body President!" Dove exclaimed.
"Me?" Sarah said.
"Don't you want to run?" Dove asked.
"You were the one complaining just a second ago," Aly said.
"And we'll help you!" Dove promised. "But everyone loves you, Sarah. We'd have such a good chance of winning!"
"I don't know-it's so much to do," Sarah dithered.
"We'd help you with all of that," Dove said. Sarah still looked unsure.
"You'd definitely win, Sarah. Come on! I'm sure we're not the only people tired of having a Rittevon as Student Body President," Aly said.
"She's right," Dove picked up Aly's point. "Lots of people would like someone besides Hazarin to win, but there isn't another good candidate to vote for them. And the people who only like Hazarin a little could be persuaded to vote for someone else."
"You really should run, Sarah." Aly wheedled.
"Please run, Sarah." Dove almost begged. "Please."
Sarah looked unsure for a second, but then she smiled. "I'll do it!" she cried. Dove and Aly grinned as Sarah beamed and said "I'm going to run for Student Body President!"
