The Student Council Elections part VII

Michelle:" Eh Daniel? What are you doing here? And why do you look so exhausted? Run a marathon?"

Daniel:" Not really, but I've got something important to ask you."

She looks at me slightly confused, which is understandable considering I've never spoken to her more than once and here I was now running up to her panting like some sort of fool and wanting to tell her something, if anyone didn't know better they would have assumed this was some sort of confession. But I knew I had to do this, after hearing what I did from Michael, I knew I couldn't sit back. Hearing what had happened to Michelle, the things that motivated her and led her to this moment. I felt angry at the school, at the people in this school, a part of me wanted to simply erase it all if I could. But I didn't have time for such childish fantasies.

I extended my arm to her, almost as if I was making an offer, which I was.

Daniel:" Would you be interested in joining my committee for the election?"
