Chapter 37

Everyone started now celebrating their birthdays and showing off. Even the guys. It was like as if we set up a trend. Anyways, we have an inter-school competition coming up. It is the same competition as Mathew's friend kept in their school. I was the editor of the club. Kate was the coordinator and the school captain was the president and I voted for Zarina and Sally to be the sub-coordinators. And I voted a close friend to be the secretary. It was as if many positions were not in Jessica's team. I heard Jessica when I, Sally and Zarina was about to step in to the class. "Are you happy guys now? Now they are in the team. We should have been quicker when appointing the posts." It was clear that they were not happy with the outcome.

We had our first meeting to do the competitions. I was in charge of editing as you can tell. We wanted something new and Kate suggested that we go to vintage style. Our school was apple green and yellow and it will go well with the vintage team too. I took down notes and took some old samples to get ideas out of it.

Yesterday I bought the letter head with the vintage themed background with an old fashioned lantern along with it. I showed it to the teacher-in-charge, other members and the vice principal. All said okay and I laser printed them. And today they changed the teacher-in-charge. Like seriously. I was pissed off. They were really good quality. I told them that they have to pay for them and later Kate who was not the treasurer was now in charge of the finance. They paid me half and said they will pay the rest. After that they gave me to type the rest of the competition details.

I finished with the typing and there were some doubt in our native language so I bought it and showed them in the computer screen and they told me to get a photocopy. So the vice principal took it from the office and gave it to us to check it. I got help from the teachers and corrected them out and showed it to the vice principal and all was okay. I asked them thrice and all were okay. I did not print them and them until they really tell me.

Today they changed again the topics. The vice principal and some of the teachers were making me go crazy. Thank god I did not print them. I designed envelopes too. It was the first time too that any school made. I was proud to change the common.

At last everything was set. I printed them and arranged them. I handed them to the president through the secretary and I sighed. The president's father who was in the School Development Society was in the Principal's office when I went in to get a signature for something that I cannot recall. He called me when I was exiting the office. "Anna." I turned and asked, "Yes?" "Your editing was very nice. I loved the envelopes they were so trendy." I beamed and thanked him. It was so once that someone saw my potential. It was funny that others did not tell. But when other school letter heads came in, they appreciated my work in a slightly bitter way. But then again I was happy. Even Mathew's friend texted me saying the letter head was nice and I told him that he should have editors like me in his school and he acknowledged because their letter head was very bad. Like really bad for a very high standard school who does very good every year.

The other schools started sending in competitions and one of them copied our design with a slight change and others had upped their game like never before. I was thrilled.
Vice principal called me in. "Where is the video?" "Amm, What video madam?" "WHAT?! Did not (president's name) tell you to make the welcome video and bring it today?" I shook my head and told her, "I am sorry madam, she did not tell me." She was not doing well as a leader. Kate was the one who was managing it and clearly they will not let me in. They were already under the fore for me having the editor and making great changes already. "She thinks as if she is the president of the country. That little weasel" the vice president was firing up really bad. I watched her and smirked. Not because I was enjoying the critics that school captain was getting but at her. They do not dare to talk in front of her and point out. All they do is talk behind her back and give all the credit and positions to her. I was getting tired of it. They all are good at dramas. Little petty a******s. Cannot they be fair and treat everyone a like. It was like a politics.
