Run for the Class President!
By Joyce
Chapter 7 Speeches: Part IIJeanne timidly raised her hand.
"So you will be our next volunteer, yes, Jeanne?" asked Miss Tao kindly.
"Yes, ma'am," said Jeanne, politely standing up and turning around in her seat to look at Lyserg, "come on, Lyserg, let's start."
"Whoa! Are you cooperating with MY Lyserg to be class presidents?!" Fangirl No. 4 almost shouted.
"Errr...well actually, no. I'm just her assistant. And since when did I become YOUR Lyserg?!" explained Lyserg.
"HER ASSISSTANT? YOU CAN'T JUST BE JEANNE'S SLAVE!!!! BECAUSE I'M A SLAVE 4 U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" screamed Fangirl No. 4 into Lyserg's ear.
"Oww...don't scream in my ear. And...please do let go of me," said Lyserg, trying gently to pry the girl's fingers from his arm.
"Nooooooo!!! I can't just let you be Jeanne's SLAVE!! I love-"Fangirl No. 4 was cut short when she saw Jeanne, standing in front of her and glaring as she never did before.
Everyone else in the room was also staring. None of them, not ever, in their entire lives, had they seen prim and proper little Jeanne glare or lose her temper. But now, she was staring daggers into Fangirl No. 4. Jeanne put her hands on Lyserg's desk and leaned over.
"Let go of Lyserg. NOW," she said sternly, still glaring.
Fangirl No. 4 seemed to sense Jeanne's anger. She gulped and sighed. She looked over at Lyserg, whom is was holding on to and whispered in his ear softly.
"I'll let go of you for now, my darling...but not forever," Fangirl No. 4 whispered, then let go of Lyserg's arm.
Lyserg gulped, after hearing that. Then, he turned his attention to Jeanne, who now had her usual kind face on. He smiled sheepishly at Jeanne, grabbed the poster that was lying on the floor beside his desk, and stood up. They both walked to the front of the room while everyone else was looking up at them expectantly. Jeanne started to speak.
"I am running for class president here, not Lyserg, in case some of you are confused. He is just my assistant. He's here because I asked him to hold a poster for me while I say my speech," said Jeanne, then she looked over at Lyserg.
Lyserg started to unroll his poster. It was pretty big. When the poster was all unrolled, he held it up. It was a picture of the peace sign with rainbows all around it. The words inside the peace sign simply said "Vote for Jeanne!" The poster was simple but it was beautiful.
"Wow, Jeanne! Did you do that yourself?" asked Pilika.
"Naw...Lyserg did it. I'm going to hang these posters outside in the hallway after I'm finished with my speech, so people will be reminded to vote for me," replied Jeanne.
"What? You have more?" asked Yoh.
"Yea, Lyserg made them all for me," said Jeanne, smiling sweetly at Lyserg.
Lyserg dazedly smiled back.
"Hey, Jeanne. You copied MY idea, have you realized that?" asked Ren, glaring at her.
"What? I did?" said a confused Jeanne, "I don't know what you're saying. I don't even know what you're doing."
"Whatever. I also had the idea of pasting my posters in the hallway," said Ren.
"Ren! ANYONE can use the idea of putting their posters in the hallway, okay? This is an election! And don't interrupt Jeanne when she's going to do her speech, or I'll give you a detention," said Miss Tao to Ren.
Ren snickered and crossed his arms grumpily.
"Fine, fine. Whatever, sis," he said.
"Please continue, Jeanne," said Miss Tao, turning her attention back to Jeanne, who looked down at the speech paper in her hands one more time and started to speak.
"The reason I will encourage every one of my classmates to vote for me is that I am sure that I can do this job. I am 100 sure that I am a responsible person. Yes, Lyserg?" started Jeanne, and then turning to look at Lyserg, who replied promptly.
"Yes, Jeanne is very responsible."
"Thank you, Lyserg. And another reason I should be class president is that if you guys vote for me, I will listen to every one's suggestions. Right, Lyserg?" said Jeanne, looking at Lyserg again.
"Yes, she will listen to everyone's suggestions," replied Lyserg, somewhat like he was in a daydream.
"Yes, and the third reason is that voting for me will bring peace in this school and everyone will love each other," Jeanne smiled sweetly, "Right, Lyserg?"
"Yes, I agree, Jeanne," said Lyserg.
The speech went on for another 5 minutes with Lyserg agreeing with everything that Jeanne had said. By the time the 5 minutes were over, no one was listening to whatever Jeanne had to say. Everyone was whispering to each other about Lyserg's strange behavior.
"Dude, what's UP with Lyserg, man?" said Chocolove, turning around to Fangirl No. 1.
"Err...I donno," said Fangirl No. 1, who was, obviously not paying attention to Chocolove but staring at Lyserg with a satisfying smile on her face.
So Chocolove turned around to Hao.
"What's UP with Lyserg, man?" asked Chocolove.
"Hmm...from my view, this looks like a case of lovesickness," said model student Hao wisely.
Horo Horo, Anna, and Yoh had overheard the conversation.
"What? Lovesickness? What the - - - - does that mean?!" demanded Horo Horo.
"Dumbos don't know," replied Anna.
"What? I don't know too, Anna. Tell me, Hao!" pleaded Yoh.
"Well, it looks like Lyserg has a HUGE crush on Jeanne so he's like, lovesick now. So he agrees with everything that Jeanne says," said Hao, pleased that the attention was turned to him.
"Hmm...that's interesting..." said Chocolove, rubbing his chin.
"Yea...it sure is...but that's kind of like black magic, isn't it?" said Horo Horo.
"Maybe, we'll just have to wait and see," replied Hao, and they all stopped talking now because they all realized that Jeanne was finished with her "Peace & Love" speech.
They all politely clapped as Jeanne and Lyserg went back to their seats.
"Now, I guess we're all finished with our speeches, aren't we? Then this can be study time-"said Miss Tao, until she was interrupted.
"HEY! Sis! You didn't even ASK if there were any more volunteers!" shouted Ren suddenly.
"Oh," said Miss Tao, calmly, "well ARE there any more volunteers?"
Nobody replied.
"See? There aren't any more volunteers. So this can be study-"said Miss Tao until is was interrupted by Ren again.
"Stop it, Jun! I'M running for class president!" said Ren, glaring at his sister.
Miss Tao pretended to look surprised.
"Oh, reallyyyy.....I didn't know little Ren had such courage..." she said innocently.
"I WILL MAKE THE SCHOOL FIRE YOU!" shouted Ren angrily as he stomped to the front of the classroom.
Miss Tao grinned evilly at her brother's red and angry face.
"Keep trying, little brother. Keep trying," she said with a smile on her face.
Ren snickered, cursed and started his speech.
"Okay, the reason's I'm running for class president is obvious. I wanna fire someone around here," said Ren, narrowing his eyes to his sister, who was pretending that she was not listening and was looking super innocent.
"AND! That's not all. I reeeeally don't want to mention this, but I'm sexier than Hao, okay?" continued Ren with an unflinching expression.
There were a couple of gasps. Hao leaned back in his seat and looked at Ren, unblinking, as if to challenge him of his sexiness.
"WHAT?!" exclaimed Macchi, shocked.
"Did Mari just hear that Ren said that he was sexier than Hao?" said Mari, raising her voice.
"OMG. I cannot believe what my own BROTHER just said," said Miss Tao, forgetting for a moment her status as a teacher.
"Where's your proof?" said Fangirl No. 3, her eyebrows scrunched up.
Ren looked at her, grinned, and chuckled softly.
"Anyone who wants proof that I'm cuter, sexier, and more attractive than Hao, come line up here at the front of the room," said Ren.
At first, nobody moved. Then, Pilika stood up.
"I want proof," she said softly, "because, obviously, Hao's the cutest around here, right girls?"
Pilika turned around to look at the other members of the 'Sissy Kisses', Mari and Macchi. Mari and Macchi nodded, then followed Pilika to line up at the front of the room. Pilika was first in line, Macchi was second, and Mari was last in line. Once they were all lined up, Ren looked down at Pilika and smiled his somewhat cute smile.
"You want proof? Here's your proof," he said, before leaning down and French-kissing Pilika super roughly.
Everyone stared, including Miss Tao, who slapped her head and cursed.
"That annoying habit of being a player of my brother is back," said Miss Tao, shaking her head hopelessly.
"I WILL KILL YOU, REN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT WAS MY SISTER YOU KISSED!!!!!!!!" said Horo Horo, who had just realized what happened.
Hao stopped him.
"Move over, Hao! I will kill him!" shouted Horo Horo angrily.
"No. Let him prove his sexiness. Then, I'll prove mine," said Hao calmly.
Pilika stared, shocked at Ren after he was finished French-kissing with her. Then, her face turned super red. She covered her face, ran back to her seat, and put her head on her desk. Macchi who was next in line, had a super angry look on her face.
"Look what you did to my frien-"started Macchi, but before she could finish her sentence, she, too, was also kissed.
Then, Macchi walked back to her seat, feeling dazed. Surprisingly, Mari wasn't the least bit shocked. She looked up at Ren.
"Hmm...that kiss I saw you gave Pilika and Macchi...because of that, I might just reconsider having a crush on Hao. Try kissing me, and I'll vote for you if I like it," said Mari, unflinching.
"I'd kiss you even if you didn't ask me to, "said Ren evilly as he leaned down to "prove his cuteness and sexiness" to Mari.
"Hmm... that was nice...but I'll think about it at home, "said Mari after she was finished with her kissing business with Ren.
Mari walked back to her seat. Ren turned back to the class. He continued on with his player-like smile.
"Anyone one else want proof?" he asked slyly.
"No, Ren, no-"but Miss Tao was cut off.
Immediately, all of the Fangirls ran screaming to line up for a kiss. They all satisfyingly got it. They all went back to their seat, saying things like, "OMG, I will SURELY vote for him!" and "NOW I think he's sexier than Hao!" and such and such.
"So, that's enough proof, isn't it people?" said Ren, still grinning evilly, "And, continuing, the third reason you should vote for me is that...you'll get a free trip to China if you do."
"WHAT?" shouted Horo Horo, "That's UNFAIR, Ren! That's called BUYING votes! AND YOU KISSED MY SISTER! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"
Yoh held him back.
"Calm down, Horo, calm down," Yoh said.
"Whatever, Horo. I don't care," said Ren.
"NO, Ren. I will NOT let you do that. Horo Horo's right, that is really called buying votes," said Miss Tao sternly to her brother.
"Fine, fine, I won't do it. My cuteness and sexiness if enough reasons to vote for me, right girls?" said Ren, winking at the girls, "and that's all. I'm finished with my speech."
Ren walked proudly back to his seat and sat down. Then, he turned to look at Hao. Not to his surprise, Hao was looking back with a new kind of fire in his eyes. Although Hao was sitting laid back in his chair, he had a determined look on his face. He was not a person who was easily going to give up. Suddenly, Hao stood up and faced the class.
"Tonight, if anyone wants proof that I'm sexier and cuter than Ren, meet me at the Asakura house at midnight. And I'll prove to you the real meaning of sexiness and cuteness," Hao announced.
At that time, the bell rang.
"Class dismissed," said Miss Tao tiredly as the students of room D12 prepared to leave the class.
