Daisy always tried to see the best in everyone She carefully suggested Maybe she would be a good president since she likes to be in charge of things Behind her Raymond grunted I don't think so Then he banged his head on his desk twice as if the idea of Madison in charge was torturing him
She has wanted to be the boss since we were in first grade Blanca said Raymond just shook his head saying I don't think I want her to be the president It seemed to Daisy that the whole thing was out of their hands anyway Ms Lilly had already sent Madison to get the forms Blanca blurted out We're doomed Daisy feared that her friend might be right but she preferred to stay positive After all another candidate could run against Madison right Daisy twisted the end of her charcoal black braid Ms Lilly wrote D E A R on the board That meant Drop Everything And Read Daisy would have to at least pretend to read her book while considering who could run against Madison While she pretended Daisy wished she could make a list Lists were one of her favorite
things to write Every day she made lists for homework things to do amigas to call and stuff she needed to remember In her head Daisy began a list without writing it down She thought that Sophie or Lizzie might be good leaders since they were nice and earned good grades Camden was cool Kenzie was too Eric was too sporty What about Mr Harrison's class Daisy thought DeShaye for president maybe not Even though they were good friends Daisy was not sure that the way DeShaye said whatever was on her mind nice or not would help her win an election Out of the corner of her eye Daisy saw a swish of hot pink lace Ms Lilly's skirt was right beside her desk and that meant Ms Lilly was too Daisy had been so distracted making a mental list that she accidently closed her book and laid it on her desk
Ms Lilly crouched down beside Daisy's desk She whispered Unless you have special powers Daisy it would be impossible to read your book when it is closed on your desk Is everything okay Daisy's eyes darted around the room The kids in room 210 were all reading except her and Madison who burst into the room at that precise moment and boldly announced she had no competition Ms Lilly stood up Raymond asked Do we still get to vote if no one runs against Madison Looking a little bit unsure their teacher explained that being new to their school she was not familiar with the student council rules But she continued that in her mind no opponent meant no contest Great moaned Raymond Blanca leaned over and said I told you we're doomed
