Oportuinities come but once

Chapter 2; Opportunities come but once

Lucas one of the nominees for the position of Head prefect stands speechless in front of the notice board with his bestfriend Nanami by his side exploding with joy and Barely keeping herself together.

Lucas: I think I'll go meet with the school board, this mist be some kind of mistake.

Nanami: Hold on Lucas, we have class this morning remember? I sent you the table you idiot, anyway... there's gonna be a genre assembly after school where the school board is gonna official announce the contenders, you can meet them and complain then, but if you ask me I think you should accept it.

Lucas: Hhh alright after school then.

Meanwhile all over the academy the news of all the nominees was spreading like wild fire, some where overjoyed and others filled with anger and jealousy.

In class 9.

"wow Blake you really got nominated!!"

Blake: well its as expected that the board would choose me, I'm one of the best students in the entire class 9 District, of course the board would choose me.

"And did you here.... only three students from class 10 got a nomination this year, including that orphan Nanami Sato and that brat from the peasant family, what was the board thinking nominating people like them. Especially the orphan girl, she shouldn't even be in the same school as us"

Blake: yes however disappointing it is, I'm more shocked by the selection of that bastard Lucas, someone as care free and out of shape as him can't be a prefect, talk less the head prefect, it infuriates me just imagining it.

" oh don't bother yourself with all that Blake"

" yes I think the board just put in Lucas to fill in the spot of second contender, after all in the number one spot is Shawn Jaccob, the schools number 1"

Blake: however, all that aside I am eager to see what happens during the prefectship awards... Will the hunk of Osnew high take it or will we have a miracle and Lucas ends up as the head either way things in this school are bound to get interesting because Shawn is known to be very competitive as is bound to put up one he'll of a fight, I'm actually quite excited to see how far Lucas can go in all this or will he just do what he always does....

In all Academy's of COAST W there are 10 classes, these are divided as the classes one to ten respectively.....each class has it's own district with one district captain each chosen from the students of that class district, a district captain is the title given to a student which grants that student the complete authority over a district and all the students in that district, all district captains have equal command regardless of the class meaning the district captain of class 9 cannot give orders in the class 3 district. This helps the students gather a sense of independent leadership which is practiced all over the world. In each district there are dorms for every student where they go about their day to day activities.

Meanwhile in class 10, the word of the two nominees for the highest post had been announced and celebrations began in the mist of tension.

Harry(20years old in guy class 10): CONGRATULATIONS!!! Lucas!.... dude! Damn I did not expect you to be runner up I mean waw man.

Arnold(21 years old guy in class 10): yeah couldn't believe it myself, but do you really intend to compete... because becoming the Head isn't a small feat.

Becky(20 years old girl in class 10): oh come on Arnold don't be such a spoil sport, this is the first time Lucas is getting such an opportunity, you should motivate him, I'm rooting for you Luca!

Mikasa( 20 years old girl in class 10, a girl that is very sexually attracted Lucas): yeah Lucas I am rooting for you too hehehe!.

Josh(20 years old guy in class 10): hey! You guys should stop acting so ignorant Lucas isn't gonna win, not only is he not serious enough to take such a position he also has no chance in beating Shawn.

Nanami: hey shut up Josh no one asked you to but in or for you opinion Jo..sh....wa.

Sanji(20 years old in class10): he's just starting the facts Nanami, your just getting offended because Lucas is your boyfriend.

Mikasa: Boyfriend!!!!??

Nanami: Lucas isn't my boyfriend you idiot.

Lucas: wow who said I can't be though hehe!

"Shut up!!!!"

The door of the class room begins to open as everyone silently mutters.

Lucas: You know you can't just tell us what to do when you aren't even head yet....Shawn.

Shawn(21 years old boy in class 10 and first nominee for the position of Head prefect): oh please don't you dare glare at me with those eyes Lucas you peasant, don't tell me you actually believe someone as nonchalant as yourself deserves to lead this school.

Lucas: yawns while picking his nose I'm not saying that I'm just saying you aren't the head yet.... so don't try boss me around.

Mikasa: yes you aren't the boss yet so just stop acting so high and mighty.

Josh: no one asked you Mikasa.

Nanami: I asked her.

Josh: oh shut up Mikasa.

Lucas: do tell Mikasa to shut up.

"QUITE!!"

With that the entire class went silent and no one uttered another word.

Ruby Lawson( 20 years old girl in class 10 and also the district captain of the class 10 district): Quite!.... you are all class ten, graduation students shouldn't carry themselves in such a wayward manner, none of you have reached prefectship yet.. meaning I still rank above you all, hence I don't want to hear another word.

"We're sorry captain" said the class in unison.

Ruby: good the general assembly is about to start, we should go to the gym hall now.

In the class district there is a big building called the Common area which isn't under any district captains authority this place is the schools gymnasium and also the assembly hall, behind this building is a large wall that students use as they please as it is beyond the sight and authority of the school board captain and captains, hence it got its name the wall of secrets. On this wall there was graffiti of different kinds, secrets and it was also a hang spot for couples, it also happened to be Lucas and Nanami's favorite spot, while the entire school began to gather in the hall for the school boards speech, Lucas and Nanami could be found by the wall of secrets.

Nanami: you know Lucas Leo hasn't even come yet I'm sure he's afraid he's gonna get choose haha he's such a chicken.

Lucas: .... you know I don't want to be apart of this, I have no interest in authority or nobility.

Nanami: come on Lucas this is a once in a life time chance.....to secure your future, the world out there doesn't take kindly to peasants and orphans.

Lucas: .....

"Good Evening students, please settle down"

Nanami: the assembly is about to begin, let's go In.

Lucas: Alright.

A few minutes earlier in the gymnasium....

All the students had gathered in groups class by class awaiting the board with all the district captains lined up in the front of the gym.

Aizawa(11 years old male and the district captain of the class 1 district): Good Evening fellow captains, it's good to see you all doing fine.

Jade(15 years old female and district captain of class the class 5 district): yes good evening Aizawa, it surely has been a while....last time I saw you was when our classes had clashed in the schools sport practices which if I remember correctly you lost.

Eleven(18 years old male and the district captain of the class 7): Ha!! Hello Jade, I see you still have the gull to brag after loosing to my class in that same contest.

Ben(district captain of class 3 district, 13 years old male): Do you all have no curtsey at all, we are at a public gathering.... this is no time to discuss your childish competitions.

Elaine(12 years old female, district captain of the class 2 district): oh save it Ben we know your just bitter because you lost in the first bloody round, I know I didn't do any better but at least i am not a complete bummer about it.

Jaccob(district captain of the class 6 district, 17 years old male): Alright lets not get off topic hear even though i won that contest, lets focus on why we are here.

Indiana(14 years old female, district captain of class 4 district): indeed there is quite a number of students nominated in class 9 , how did you pull that of Rebecca?

Sebastian(18 years old male, district captain of class 8 district): that's right and there aren't even that many nominees in class 10 this year, I know our school hasn't had any class ten prefects because this is it's 10th year but that's quite unprecedented.

Rebecca(19 years old female, district captain of the class 9 district): hahaha I know it might seem unbelievable, in fact I couldn't believe it myself but all the nominees weren't released I'm certain and the board hasn't made its final decision yet, I'm sure in this assembly we will get quite a surprise. And another thing I'm sure of is our dear Ruby isn't planning to let all the power slip out of her class so easily isn't that right?

Ruby(district captain for class 10): haha well no matter the case Rebecca I cannot say for certain but now even when the nominees are announced the power is in the hands of the rest of the school, you could even say it lies in the popularity or rather personality of students with others, and since that the case i think it should be you worrying Rebecca.

The front door of the gymnasium opens and the representative of the board walks in.

Mickelson(head teacher/principal and also a representative of the school): Good evening students, please settle down as the assembly will now commence.

Nanami and Lucas snuck through the back door and quietly joined the group.

Mickelson: Good Evening again students, I am sure you All already know what this assembly is about so I will not be wasting any time and go straight to the point, it's about time for the selection of the prefects, and as you all know this is a very important matter for all Academy's in the COAST but for Osnew high it means even more because this is going to be the first time we will get a head prefect which also means our school will be participating in Premier which is the Annual battle of all schools to decide the top 5 schools and also more importantly for the prefects its the way to secure a position as a world noble. And as you all already know thus completion will be lead by the prefects. Now I shall list out the contenders for the prefectship. First we have the student body prefect, the contenders for this position are Joshua Bart from class 10 and Hanna Shoka from class 9, the time prefect, the contenders are Rowley Conner from class 9 and Blake Stanley from class 9, the sport prefect, the contenders are Alaric Kennedy from class 9 and Jason Hatherley from class 9, and students for this year there will be a slight change in the contenders list for the chancellor prefect position, this year there will be three contenders for thus position, so for the library or information affairs or chancellor prefect, the contenders are Rebecca Aizen from class 9, Leonardo Rogers from class 10 and Nanami Sato from class 10 and finally for the head the contenders are Shawn Cooper from class 10 and Lucas Johnson from class 10, congrats to those nominated, your campaigning can begin post-haste good luck to you all and that will be all.

With this news the crowd of students were left baffled and with only one question.

Ruby: Rebecca!? Why the hell did you end up in the nominees for chancellor. What did you do, and how are there three what is going on here.

Rebecca: stares at Ruby with smirk on her face

Nanami: Hhhh I can't believe I was chosen, it'd be better if only Leo was chosen... right Luca*turns around looking for Lucas* Lucas?

Nanami leaves the hall in search of Lucas screaming his name and then she finds him right behind the gymnasium seated in front of the wall.

Nanami: Lucas.... Lucas I know you heard the nominees, Lucas you....

Lucas: hey Nanami.... have you ever met or even seem a world noble....the look in there eyes, don't they just look so cold hearted and they never look happy, would you be friends with someone like that.... someone that makes heartless decisions that only benefit himself, because I am afraid to turn into such a monster, at least peasants are always happy and smiling always kind hearted and that's the kind of person I want to be.

Nanami: *sits beside Lucas * look Luca trust me I know what you mean, and I know you, I know you won't become like them, but this is an opportunity that not everyone gets, trust me when I say its not easy not being able to care for yourself and going to sleep hungry every night, once we are let back into society our lives will be in the hands of those people who pay our salaries those who sit at the top, and although everyone in COAST W behaves as if they're all happy, there are some terrible things that happen behind all the smiles to those who can't fight back, so as your Friend I'll tell you take this chance presented to you because not everyone is so fortunate, Opportunities come but once, so don't miss your chance... I promise to always be by your side so go for it alright.

Lucas: Hhhhh thank you I needed that, alright Nanami fine I'll do it, I'll compete for the head position.

Now all the names of the nominees have been announced all contenders have one week to rally the students to vote in their favor to win their various positions.

To be continued.
