Different Souls

Chapter 15.

Today we knew who was going to be class president. 

We were at lunch and then we heard the intercom call out the names.

"Senior class president is Luke West" 

I stayed still.

"Brooklyn? Are you okay?" Beverly said.

"I must've heard wrong" I laughed.

"No Brook, Luke won" Bethany said.

I grabbed a cup full of smoothie and smashed it on the floor.

"Fuck everyone being united!" I yelled as I did. 

"Brook calm down"

"Where is he?" I said, furious.

I saw him and walked to him.

I got a water bottle and threw him water on his face.

"You had to come and ruin it all!" I yelled.

And I grabbed his hair and pulled him up.

I went at him, started hitting, punching, slapping him.

I felt someone grab me, pulling me back but I fought back.

Then Julian came, wrapped his arms around me and picked me up.

I screamed.

"Let me go!" I said. 

He put me down and I tried to go to Luke but he grabbed my arm. 

I huffed and turned to Luke. 

"This isn't over" I said, sternly.

I snatched my arm and went to the office. 

"I think there's been a mistake" I said to the principle.

"What mistake dear?" she asked.

"I'm supposed to be senior class president" I said, trying to stay calm down.

"You lost by one vote" she said.

"One vote?" I said, starting to get heat up.

"Yes so that is why we are putting you as vice president" she smiled.

"I didn't run for vice president" I said.

"Yes but the candidates backed out" she said.

I then left the office.

"One vote!" I yelled and threw somethings on the floor.

I took my phone out and called Nate to pick me up. 

The next day.

I couldn't even look at Luke.

He was a backstabber.

We had a meeting at lunch.

He started to talk and I yawned.

"I think we should start with our fundraiser, we should have like a lock in" he said.

"I think we should have a carnival with rides and booths with food and stuff like that" I said, smiling.

"We don't have money for that" Luke said.

"You don't have the money. We do" I said. 

"Well you're not president, so whatever you say is irrelevant and I have the final say" he said.

I threw my notebook at him and started to walk away.

"The meeting isn't over" he said. 

"I don't care" I said.

"You sure you wanna do that?" he said.

I stopped and turned around and laughed.

"I'm sorry who the hell are you to threathen me?" I said.

"Your president" he said.

"Okay this is bullshit, I'm leaving" I said.

"You leave this meeting, you leave the vice president position. You have to assist and stay every meeting" he said, smirking.

I rolled my eyes and sat down.

That's strike one.

"Brooklyn can you go to the office and print some papers out. Oh yeah, I need you to do a list for everything we have to discuss" he said. 

And for three days I had to take orders from him.

I had enough. 

After school, I went to my moms office.

"Hey mom?" I knocked and went in.

"Brooklyn, what are you doing here?" she said, taking her glasses off.

"I have to talk to you about something" I said.

"Oh just ask Camila, I gave her some money for her to give you" she said, getting some papers together.

"I don't need money. I need my mom, so please listen to me" I said and she finally stopped.

Before I could speak we heard a knock. 

"Mrs. Woods, meeting starts in 5 minutes" 

I looked at her and then looked down, it was always the same. 

"I'll be a little late" she said and I smiled.

And I told her my situation about senior president.

"What? You didn't win? You always have been president" she said.

"I know and this year was important because I want to leave a mark in the school" I said.

"Don't worry, I'll fix this. I have to go though, this meeting is important" she got up.

"I'll wait for you here" I said.

"No honey, after this meeting I have another one and they take long. Go home and eat something" she said and gave me a kiss on the head.

"Take care" she smiled and I gave her a weak smile.

My smiled faded as I saw her leave.
