voice on the announcements read… "The school elections were held today and the new student body president is Marvin Balaski! Congratulations Marvin."
" Grrrrr he won again!"
In this particular Middle school nothing is fair. The Cheerleaders get the guys, the computer geeks get the A's, and Marvin Balaski gets the presidentry.
"That's Not Fair! He always wins!"
"Lesley there's nothing you can do about it, he won…again."
"But Mark it's not fair! Everyone knows he cheated!"
"I know, but there's nothing we can do about it."
"Nothing until now!"
"Lesley please, no more adventures!"
"Come on it has to be done."
"Yea, but cant someone else do it?"
"No! Lets go."
Lesley garbed Mark's arm and led him to a small room next to the cafeteria. On the door a sign read BALASKI FOR PRESIDENT HEADQUARTERS Lesley carefully pressed her ear against the door and listened.
"Lesley! You can't do that! That's secret stuff in there and you, you, you can't listen in!"
"Mark would you please be quiet your going to get me caught. Make yourself useful stand guard, if anyone is coming let me know."
Lesley closed her eyes to try to listen more carefully. Inside she heard two people arguing. It was Marvin and the Vice President, Jennifer.
"Marvin you know you cheated just admit it!"
Lesley quickly ran up to Mark (who was still standing guard) and asked for his tape recorder. She ran back to the door and opened it a crack. Marvin and Jennifer were to busy arguing to notice. Lesley pressed the Record button. Marvin's whole confession was caught on tape. Lesley pressed the stop button and slid the recorder out from inside the door.
As Lesley was standing up the door swung open! Marvin and Lesley's eyes locked for a split second. Lesley ran down the hall tape recorder in hand. She went right into the office.
"Lesley, Lesley! Come back! Wait for me!"
Mark ran down the hall after her.
"Now I have proof!"
Adrenaline still pumping she barged into the principals' office and before the principal could blink, Marvin's confession was playing over the announcements. Marvin was caught!
In the end Lesley was rightfully elected student body president, Mark was elected vice president, and Marvin will be serving detention until he graduates.
