Chapter 3: Mizu

Kairi grabbed her mother's hand, grinning. "Your turn! Your turn!"

"Alright, honey." Talitha laughed.

Isaac smiled. "Want me to start sweetie?"

"No, Isaac. I've got it."

Talitha tapped her pencil against the table as she stared across at the blond boy, who shuffled through papers in front of him. The boy looked up at her and smiled. "Are you ready for the address?"

"Of course." She straightened up. "Are you ready?"

He nodded. "I can't wait to hear your address. I mean, you're the leader of the debate team, so your speech is going to be awesome!"

"And you're the teacher's pet…" Talitha huffed. Why was Isaac Mizu running for Student Body President? All he did was kiss up to the teachers. He did anything and everything to make them like him.

She was the president of the debate team. She knew how to lead people, make speeches, and convince people to make changes that need to happen.

A teacher stuck their head in the door, calling for the two to take the stage, to give their campaign addresses.

"I don't know if I can beat her, Areth." Isaac leaned back. "She's smart, charismatic…"

"Proud, stubborn, stern." The purple-haired boy pushed his glasses up his nose. "She's so confident that she's going to win that she's become arrogant and prideful. Pride cometh before the fall, you know."

The blond boy nodded. "I mean, you're right. She's super confident…"

"Perhaps, losing to you will be the humbling moment she needs."

"Maybe you're right…"

A hand fell upon Isaac's shoulder, and he looked up to see a woman with purple hair standing behind him. "Isaac, it's getting late. You might want to head on home."

"Aw, can't he stay for just a little longer, Mom?"

"It's alright, Areth." Isaac shoved his books into his bag. "See you tomorrow. Thanks for letting me come over, Ms. Himitsu."

"No problem, kiddo."

Isaac stood up and headed for the front door. Two ladies sat on a sofa near the door, their silver hair glistening in the sun as they waved to the departing boy. He walked down from the Himitsu mansion on the hill, looking over the town below. His mom and dad would not be home for a few hours. His mother had to take care of his terminally ill grandmother, and his father would be working in the bank very late.

The boy took his bag to a cafe and ordered a small dish as he continued to work on his homework.

"Why are you out here?" He looked up and saw Talitha leaning over on the chair across from him.

"Getting supper and finishing homework."

She slid into the chair, staring at him. "Why did you decide to run for Student Body President?"

"Well," he shrugged, "I have always wanted to go into politics, and this would be a great start. Why are you running?"

"I want to help lead the student body into a stronger, more organized group."

The two looked at one another, studying their opponent before Talitha stood up. "Well, I guess may the best man win."

"Yes, but why don't you stay, or do you have somewhere to be?"

"You're lucky," she sat back down. "I got all my homework done so I could practice my speech to beat you, so I actually have some time."

Isaac laughed. She would not drop that tough act. "So, after graduation, what do you want to do?"

"I'm going to be a prosecution lawyer." A proud smile spread across her face. That was a perfect job for her. "And you want to be a politician… sorry, but you seem too nice for that."

"I want to be mayor. I know some politicians are known for being sleazy, but as they say, honesty is the best policy. And that's how I plan to win every election, even the one against you. With honesty, kindness, and compassion at the head."

Her eyes widened slightly. "Is that a threat?"

"To your campaign, yes." The boy smirked playfully.

The girl blinked for a moment before laughing. "You know, I like you a lot more than I thought I would."

"Why's that?"

"I always took you as the quiet little teacher's pet who would be scared of any and all confrontation. But, you've got some snark in you."

Isaac bit his lip to keep from laughing again. "And you're not as stuck up as I thought you were." He looked at her, lips twitching into an amused grin. "Hey, how about this, if I win the election, I'll appoint you to my cabinet. I may be able to handle confrontation, but you do it so much better than I. Just the fact that you want to be a lawyer tells me that."

"You'd really want me as one of your cabinet. You know there are only two spots available?"

"I know," he said. "I was going to appoint Areth Himitsu to one since he knows people better than I do like he literally knows how to get in their heads and figure out things, and he's good at listening to people. And you would be able to handle confrontations better than either of us."

"And you call the shots and handle PR…" A chuckle escaped Talitha's lips. "Nice plan. I was going to recruit him too for nearly the same reason. How about, if I win, you become my PR person, and if you win I become your enforcer?"

"Deal." The two shook hands.

"You actually spoke with her…?" Areth sat at the lunch table beside Isaac. Across from them sat their two classmates, Levi Kumo and Asher Tsuchi.

"Yeah, we made a deal." Isaac shoved a spoonful of soup into his mouth. "If I win, she joins my cabinet, and if she wins, I join hers."

Levi huffed. "I don't know how you talked with her. Talitha scares me."

"Wuss…"

"Shut it, Ash!"

The boys all laughed. "EXCUSE ME!" The lunchroom became quiet as the principal stepped onto the stage, looking around. "I have the results of the student elections!" He cleared his throat, looking down at the paper in his hands….

Talitha's eyes fixed on the principal as he began reading the names. "The new Student Secretary is Ikeda. The new Treasurer is Mr. Hideyoshi Takenaka. The new Sergeant of Arms is Mr. Katashi Oshiro. The Fundraising Officer is Miss. Atsuko Maki. The Historian is Miss. Mari Fukui. The Male Representative is Jurou Yamazaki. The Female Representative is Honoka Yamauchi. The Vice President is Mr. Takashi Fukui(1)."

Everyone clapped, the students standing as their name was called. "And now the moment of truth…" Marion, Talitha's friend grinned. "You or Isaac?"

"And our new Student Body President is…" Isaac and Talitha locked eyes across the lunchroom. "Isaac Mizu!"

What!? Talitha was almost certain she would win. Across the room, she saw Isaac grinning as he stood up and the lunchroom clapped. Maybe his policy of kindness actually worked…

As the students began to leave the lunchroom, the defeated girl sat still. She only looked up when Isaac came over. "Sorry, but you know how it is… So, you still planning to hold up your end of our deal?"

"On one condition." Talitha spun around in her seat, fixing the boy with her gaze. "Buy me dinner, as a prize for 'second place'."

The boy blinked before grinning. "I think it should be you buying me dinner, but alright… it's a date."

"Excuse me!?" The girl stood up as he turned and began walking away. "I did not say that!" Isaac began to run out of the room and Talitha gave chase as the new president's laughter rang down the school hallways. "ISAAC MIZU! GET YOUR BUTT BACK HERE RIGHT NOW!"

And in the end, we both made our dreams happen. "I'm the mayor and she was a lawyer."

"Though I gave that up when we adopted you," Talitha hugged Kairi. "And I couldn't be happier." The little girl laughed as her mother tickled her.

"Is that enough for your homework, kids?"

Sora huffed. "I guess…"

"You know, you don't have to do it right now." Marion ruffled her son's hair. "We've tortured you enough. Go play for a bit." The three kids jumped to their feet at these words, running for the water.

"Watch out for sea urchins! And stingrays! And…"

"Artemis, they'll be fine."

The parents smiled as they watched their children play. It felt nice to relive those moments of their past, passing them on to the next generation.
