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
2 The Presidential Pain At lunch a few hours later the talk at Daisy's table was all about the student council elections Blanca and Daisy always sat with their friends Min and DeShaye Mami said that Min always talked like a grown up DeShaye was a really good tennis player She even had a coach and went to competitions DeShave said You know I could rule this school but I don't need the drama What if Madison is the only candidate Min worried Between bites they all imagined the things she might do as president I bet she makes new rules Blanca declared Like assigning seats at lunch
This made Raymond freak out He asked Can she make rules as president Daisy assured everyone that the power of the class president was limited She told them that only the principal could be the real boss of the school Daisy could tell Raymond was thinking about that at his end of the table Today Min was eating egg rolls Daisy had little burritos for her lunch and they looked a lot like Min's egg rolls She held one up for Min to see Min held up an egg roll and they both laughed They were lunch buddies Nearly every day they brought almost the same thing for lunch The discussion swung back around to the upcoming elections Raymond leaned closer so he could hear better It was very noisy in the cafeteria Kids were banging trays and talking to each other 13
