Chapter 2 – Aspersion

noun

1. a damaging or derogatory remark or criticism; slander

"And that is why, ladies and gentlemen, is why I believe that I am the best possible choice to be your next class president."

Baljeet looked over to the opposite podium, where Buford was now standing. "Certain other candidates will lead you to believe that I am not fit, so I am very interested to see what Buford is going to say to make his case. I concede the floor."

"Thanks, nerd!"

The Indian boy sighed, but said nothing else.

"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages," Buford started, a pair of spectacles magically appearing on his face. "Ya've heard a lot from this particular candidate, but what if I told ya..."

He whipped his glasses off dramatically.

"There was a side ta him ya didn't know?"

"...Buford, what on Earth are you doing?"

"You had ya turn, 'Jeet! Now it's time for the real expert to come out."

Baljeet was suddenly jolted by the appearance of a giant projector screen behind him. "Um...how long has that been there?"

"Exhibit A!" Buford pointed a remote above, and the screen lit up with what was not an uncommon sight around the school: Baljeet facefirst in a toilet, a thick arm pushing him down into it. "Is this the kind of person ya want leading you? Someone who caves easily to pressure? Someone who can't even hold their breath when face-down in a toilet?"

"Buford, I do not believe that you are showing them the entirety of the picture."

"Nah, I think my point came across rather well."

Baljeet stomped over to the bully's podium and snatched the remote out of his hand. "No, you are literally not showing them the entire picture." He pressed the button again, and the picture panned out to see that the hand was no other than-

"Buford, you are the one that is pushing me into the toilet!"

"Look, we can argue whose semantic is best, or we can get down to the real issues here."

"...I bet you do not even know what the word 'semantics' means."

"I do too! It's an ocean!"

Baljeet hesitated momentarily, then turned to the moderator. "Are you going to allow this to continue on?"

Gretchen looked up from her book. "Personally, I think that he makes a valid point."

The sound of his palm smacking his forehead rang through the entire auditorium. "This is preposterous! And slanderous! And defamation! And probably a lot of other different words that you do not care to understand the meaning of!"

"At least I gave them a picture to look at!"

"You know what? Forget it." Baljeet stalked off, his hands in the air. "Let me know when you are going to take this seriously."

"...Does that mean I won?"

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Had to take care of a personal issue yesterday, so we're going to push things back a little bit. Still plan on getting five fics out. The last one will come out on Saturday.

I always love writing the antagonistic relationship between Baljeet and Buford. This one's a little more on the rough side than I normally write, but I think it came out rather well.

Read and review, if you like. Until next time.
