like 'Stellar Stella for President', 'Charlie for Vice', and 'Fly Sky High for Sky for Treasurer'.
Cassie took the campaign seriously. She put up a website called www.votecassie.com to advertise and track her followers. She had buttons made that said 'Vote President Cassie'. She also made shirts she handed out for free that had 'Vote 4 Cassie, and you'll B happy!' written on them.
Meanwhile, Stella handed out golden vanilla cupcakes with her name written on them in pink frosting.
Will, on the other hand, was just telling people to vote for him.
Cassie really didn't care if she won. She just wanted Stella to lose. That was why she also endorsed Will. It helped that Charlie was endorsing her, because that got her lots of female followers.
The male followers, however, were all leaning towards Stella, because every time she talked about the election, she threw in a hair-whip or hair-twirl.
Halfway through, Sky did a mini Cassie campaign of her own, and being the nicest girl in school, she was enough to tip the odds in favor of Cassie.
Stella was furious. She had her Daddy's marketing group go all out on campaigning for her. Commercials, prints, clothes, and even an airplane with a banner that said 'STELLAR STELLA!!!'
Seeing how fierce the running for president had gotten, Mrs. Spencer made an executive decision. She disqualified both Cassie and Stella from the election, making William Braddock the automatic winner.
As for the other offices, they went as follows:
Treasurer - Skyler Gledhill
Secretary - Riley Alicia
Vice President - Garrett Sowards
President Will suggested to the council that they rename the offices.
“To what exactly?” Mrs. Spencer questioned. “I think we should rename them in honor of the medieval time period,” he explained, “So Skyler would stay as the Treasurer, but Riley would be the Scribe, instead of Secretary, and Garrett would become the royal advisor, leaving me, as the King!”
Mrs. Spencer smiled and had the council vote. They all voted in favor and King William thanked them for listening.
Cassie sighed, “At least it isn't Stella!” Charlie chuckled and put his arm around his girlfriend.
Stella sat at the table next to theirs. Ugh, Charlie, why did he like Skyler so much? She wasn't trendy, and her hair wasn't near as soft as Stella's, or even Cassie's. She was nice, and smart, and that's it. And maybe she was a little bit adorable, but everyone thought she was adorable! Stella growled.
First Band Concert
“Attention all bandos,” Appleyard announced, “tomorrow is December 10th, which is concert day!” They've all been practicing since the second day of school, and Mary Appleyard was pretty confident that they had all of the songs down pat. They had three band songs, one of which gave Cassie a flute solo, since she was by far the best flutist in the band.
Ever since the solo went to Cassie, Stella was furious. What was so special about that girl? She somehow had the ability to ruin Stella's life! First Charlie, then student council, and now she infected band with her awful happiness killing disease!
They finished practicing their big finale, and packed up with five minutes to spare. As usual, Appleyard went to her office to 'work'.
Cassie looked at Charlie and Sky and smiled. Sky was adorable, and she didn't steal Charlie from Cassie. Cassie looked at Stella, who was scowling at the couple, and laughed.
“What's so funny, Lassie?” Stella hissed. “Nothing” Cassie insisted, infuriating Stella even more. “Don't act dumb!” Stella tested, “Your arrogance doesn't allow it! You walk around thinking you are soooo smart, when in reality, you're just pulling people's legs and-”
“Shut up!” Cassie warned, “You have no room
