*November 6th, 1941*

*Highlands High School*
It was another day at the study hall as Anya was trapped in her thoughts in regards to her future while tapping her pencil on the table.
"Damn it, How am I gonna spill this out to the class? They're gonna be quite baffled at my choice but what other options do I have?!" Anya had thought to herself as this was noticed by Charlotte who was sitting next to her as she gently placed her hand on her friend's shoulder.
"Anya, you seem quite tense, Is everything okay? You can always vent to me if possible.." Charlotte had offered Anya with full support as she saw her friend getting up from her table which made her more curious as she saw Anya walking towards the front of the classroom.
"Um, excuse me? May I have everyone's attention please? I have an important announcement that I have to make.." Anya had spoken out to the class as everyone had stopped what they were doing to look at Anya as one of her classmates, Wanda had gotten curious.
"Anya? What seems to be the trouble? I can see that certain look on your face" Wanda had asked Anya in a tone of curiosity as she waited for an answer as Anya eventually began to speak once more.
"There's no trouble but It's just that I'm stepping down from being class president and there shall be a class vote in regards to this…" Anya had finally spoken out as this surprised the entire class as everyone was shocked due to this revelation as more questions emerged from the class.
"Wait! How come? You are wonderful as class president and always ensured that we've got a good day's worth of education! What seems to be the issue?" Joseph had cried out in surprise while Wanda nodded her head in agreement.
"He's right! You're smart, brave, kind, and even funny! It just doesn't make any sense" Wanda had chimed into the conversation while Allison gave his own rebuttal.
"I mean, maybe Anya just wants to take things more easier and it's nearly the end of the semester as well so It does make sense for Anya to step down to avoid work and other things being piled up on her" Allison had spoken to Wanda and Joseph while Anya nodded her head in agreement as she had heard everything from the front of the class.
"Allison is right, winter break is roughly in a month or so and I just wanna step down to focus on my friends, schoolwork, and other such responsibilities but I hope everyone can understand where I'm coming from" Anya had spoken back to the class as a few students including Anya's friends had nodded their heads in agreement while the other half was unsure but still somewhat was seeing where she's coming from.
"Well, If we're voting for a replacement then I think Russell could be a good replacement, that is, If he was in this class but I think It should be someone like, I don't know, Charlotte…" Joseph had spoken out while chuckling to himself as many eyes immediately locked on to Charlotte who had a rather surprised look on her face as she began to blush.
"Um, I mean! I'm pretty smart and can hold my own but I'm not really interested in being class president or anything, sorry but If I had to choose than maybe someone else or Wanda, I feel like they could be good replacements but that's just my personal opinion.." Charlotte had suggested back to her classmates as this had taken Wanda by surprise as she began to speak out amongst her peers.
"Me? What makes you say that, Charlotte? I'm quite curious to know your thoughts and we don't really talk to each other as well" Wanda had asked Charlotte in a tone of curiosity while waiting for her answer as Charlotte began to speak back.
"Well, It's just you seem smart and you're quite good with words as well so I just thought you as our new class president would be pretty interesting but you don't obviously have to if you don't want to" Charlotte had responded while Wanda had shaken her head before speaking yet again.
"Oh no! I'm quite interested in being class president! I've kinda always wanted the position anyway so don't worry about a thing!" Wanda had spoken back to Charlotte once more as Anya had listened to the entire conversation with keen interest as she saw and heard more of her classmates agreeing with the idea of Wanda being the new class president.
"I guess we don't really need a vote since even Wanda herself wants to replace me so I guess that saves all of the trouble.." Anya had thought to herself while motioning her hands to get the class' attention as she was confirming Wanda as the next class president.
"Okay, by a show of hands, If you guys want Wanda as the next class president then please raise your hands!" Anya had spoken out in joy as almost everyone in the class had raised their hands in full support of Wanda as this made Anya smile.
"And there we go! Wanda shall be the new class president so everyone please give her a round of applause!" Anya had spoken out with joy as the class had erupted in cheers as Wanda smiled at this while getting up from her seat to the walls towards the front of the classroom as she was ready to give her thoughts.
"Well, that was easier than expected but I promise everyone that I'll continue to follow in Anya's footsteps and I know me and her have a bit of a rivalry when it comes to sports; however, Anya is still my classmate at the end of the day so It's up to me to show her the utmost respect and the same goes for you guys!" Wanda had spoken out in joy as she was happy to become the new class president while Anya watched with a smile before returning to her desk as Allison began to speak to her.
"You know, time is going by pretty quickly like the year is almost over and before we know it, it's gonna be a brand new year" Allison had spoken out to his friend while Charlotte nodded her head in agreement.
"I agree but I'm just hoping that the holidays truly go well for us and stress free…" Charlotte had spoken out as well while Anya had listened to the both of them as she nodded her head in agreement.
"I'm honestly hoping for the same thing as well and this whole year has been pretty interesting to say since I've met the majority of my friends" Anya had spoken back with a smile on her face while staring out to see the beautiful sunny sky which she always found to be quite pleasing while Charlotte smiled as she began to speak.
"I could say the same as well, I've managed to get a girlfriend and helped her with her sexuality as well and I could not be more proud of myself" Charlotte had spoken out to her friends while remembering the may festival and how she and Emma confessed their feelings to each other which made Anya and Allison smile.
"I've been hearing about that story and it's wonderful that you guys are supportive of Emma and as for me, I'm glad that I was able to meet you guys and be around people who are accepting of the way that I present myself and I truly thank you guys from the bottom of my heart" Allison had spoken out as he found himself almost crying due to the sentimental feel of the conversation; however, Allison composed himself and smiled instead as he and his friends shared a smile together.
"I may not be class president anymore but I'll still continue supporting my classmates in their academic futures and of course, I'll always be there for my loving friends, just like how they're always there for me…" Anya had thought to herself as she knew that despite tribulations and hardships, the year had turned out to be one of the best that she's experienced and she could not ask for anything else.
