As the classes began, every student attended their assigned classrooms, everyone except for Alejandro who walked down the hall feeling anxious and nervous about what he was about to do…

(BADUMP BADUMP BADUMP)

“What do I do? Aleister played a fouled move against me...what do I…” Alejandro sees the HISTOREA Clubroom in front of him; “That’s it, I could ask Uriel or Tiwa they are sure to help me…” Alejandro quickly runs to the room and opens the door with excitement; “URIEL, TIWA…” At that moment, with the room empty and dark, Alejandro began to lose hope once more:

“Oh, that’s right...both of them are not here…” Alejandro walks slowly into the desk, he sits down and sees around at the empty and dark room. His eyes begin to fill themselves with tears as he scratches his head with speed; “DAMN IT...SOME FRIENDS THEY ARE, THEY LEFT ALONE ONCE MORE…”

(PPUUUUMM)

Alejandro punches the desk and starts bleeding; “Alone...I am always alone...I guess, that’s the way it’s supposed to be…” Alejandro puts his head at the desk, and sees the darkness; “Student Council President...everyone will hate me even more...what a joke...I guess...I should just run away...and…”

“Hello, is anyone here?” At that moment, the lights turn on, Alejandro’s vision is blurry as he is adjusting it to the light, he lifts his head and sees the door. “Oh, Alejandro...what are you doing here?” Alejandro hears a feminine voice at the entrance, and a girl walks towards him; “Oh no...you are bleeding, what happened to you?”

Alejandro manages to see her face and asks; “Valerie?” Valerie smiles and says; “The one and only…” Valerie looks at Alejandro and gets closer in order to see his eyes; “Have you been crying?” Alejandro notices that they are too close; “AHHHH” Alejandro immediately stands up; “I thought I was going to die...man, she is cute…” -BADUMP BADUMP- Alejandro hears his heart beat faster. Valerie looks at Alejandro and with a worried expression asks:

“What happened to you? Why were you crying?”

Valerie is Uriel’s younger sister, she has light purple hair with bluish eyes. Her optimistic personality makes her super popular.

“Oh nothing, more importantly, how is Uriel?” Alejandro asks Valerie, Valerie smiles and makes a peace sign; “He is doing excellent, he just woke up…”

“Really, I’m so glad…” Alejandro scratches his eyes, he opens them once again and sees Valerie’s eyes in front; “Uhmm...what are you doing?”

“Alejandro, what happened to you? You need to tell me now...or else, I won’t let you leave…” Valerie says to Alejandro with an angry expression, puffing her cheeks. Alejandro smiles thinking; “Being here with her is a dream come true...I could be here forever...but...I need to be strong and tell her…” Alejandro looks at Valerie in the eyes and says; “Okay...this is what happened…”

Alejandro told Valerie everything, from the bet to the Student Council President….

“I see…” Valerie takes a few steps and turns around; “I believe that you should be the President...you are smart and quick thinker….you came up with all those plans in order to gain popularity for the dance...remember…”

“Yeah, but everyone voted for you...because you’re…” Alejandro immediately stops and blushes, Valerie looks at him; “I’m what?” Alejandro nervously replies; “A great person…”

“I see...well, I think that you have what it takes to be our leader...Alejandro, you have always been a loser according to you...then, become a winner, and this is the first step…”

Valerie smiles at Alejandro; “Valerie...I…” At that moment, Valerie kisses Alejandro’s cheek and says; “That’s a good luck charm...even if no one else believes in you...remember that I do…”

Valerie begins to leave; “Well, I have class...bye bye…” Valerie leaves, Alejandro falls to the ground touching his cheek thinking; “Man...she’s gorgeous...and she’s right...I’m done being a loser...I’m going to be a winner from now on…” Alejandro makes a fist with determination…

***************************************************************************

Present…

Aleister just resigned his post as President and introduced Alejandro as the new Student Council President...Alejandro, who promised to be brave, is facing something quite different…

(BADUMP BADUMP)

“Easier said than done...I’m freaking out right now…” Alejandro says as he slowly goes to the stage, his movements are very robotic, Alejandro stands in the darkest part of the stage.

“Calm down, Alejandro, you are about to go in front of all the school, as their leader, piece of cake right?....HELL NO! I’M A LOSER, HOW CAN I…”

Aleister smiles and says:

“ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE YOU...TO THE NEW STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT...ALEJANDRO SANCHEZ…”

(BADUMP BAUMP BADUMP)

Alejandro walks very nervously, the lights blind him for an instant, he only hears everyone in shock. Alejandro stands next to Aleister as he whispers; “Good, you didn’t chicken out as I predicted, you have me quite impressed…Good luck, my friend...” Aleister speaks through the microphone one last time:

“THERE YOU HAVE IT! THIS IS MY GOODBYE, THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING ME ALL THESE YEARS...GOODBYE!”

Aleister gives the microphone to Alejandro and slowly walks away. “What the hell, why did he make him president?” Victoria says to Raul, Raul without expression sighs; “I guess, he wants to play a prank on us?” “Raul, do you accept this?” Victoria asks with anger, Raul only responds; “Yes...I could care less who is the President.” Angela only looks at with a worried expression; “Alejandro, are you going to be alright?”

“Aleister, are you done humiliating him?” Marjorie catches up to Aleister backstage, Aleister pushes her to the wall and chuckles; “This is not a humiliation, it’s an opportunity for him...Marjorie, I’m going to miss you…” Aleister kisses Marjorie in the lips and pushes her to the floor. Aleister continues walking to the door where Ian waits for him; “Ready Aleister? My master waits for you..”

“I am...it’s time to begin with my destiny…”

(BADUMP BADUMP BADUMP)

“WHAT IS THIS LOSER DOING? IS THIS A PRANK? IT’S NOT FUNNY...GET OUT THE STAGE...BOO...BOO…” The students begin to scream without any approval, everyone boos Alejandro, Alejandro is very nervous shaking his legs, and feeling nauseous.

Kasumi begins to walk to the stage but she is stopped by Johanna; “Kasumi if you do anything reckless, Olivia will take action...please believe in your student…”

“This is bad, that loser will pee himself…” Carlos says as he sighs. “Do you think we should help?” Chelsea asks Carlos who shakes his head; “No, we will only ridicule ourselves…”

(BADUMO BADUMP BADUMP)

“What should I do? Do I run? Do I escape? I am a failure...damn it…” Alejandro begins to take a few steps back. Suddenly, some one stands up and screams:

“PRESIDENT ALEJANDRO, YOU CAN DO IT!”

The whole auditorium turns silent, everyone turns to see the student who screamed. Alejandro focuses his sight on the student; “Valerie?”

Valerie is standing on her seat and waving at him. “What is she doing? How embarrassing…” The girls who are sitting next to her comment. Valerie doesn’t care that everyone is seeing her, she continues to smile and waves at Alejandro:

“ALEJANDRO, I BELIEVE IN YOU! YOU CAN DO IT!”

“Valerie…” Alejandro sheds tears as he thinks; “That’s right, she is getting all the attention for me...she is supporting me...as long a someone and only one person believes in me...I can’t just let her down...what kind of a person would I be to fall in front of the person I…I”

Alejandro takes a deep breath and begins to speak through the microphone; “My dear school, how are you all doing? I am your new President Alejandro Sanchez...As you already know, I am that loser who likes to investigate paranormal activity...I’m so pathetic that I even got my club shut down…”

Alejandro chuckels, the whole school is silent and looks at him. Alejandro continues to speak; “Look everyone, I know that I am usually a lazy person, those who know me think I am weird, and I am not going to lie...I am weird...however, Aleister believed that I could be his successor, and that’s why…”

Alejandro takes a step forward; “I will not back down...I will do the very best that I have to be your President, sure, I am weird, but let me ask you...who isn’t weird in their own way? The popular guys are weird to the nerds, the nerds are weird to the athletes, the athletes are weird to the gothics and so on...I want to be the leader of this weird school because I am the weirdest of them all...but I will be your leader...and I promise you that starting today, I will take responsibility of this school…”

Alejandro takes another deep breath thinking; “I need to win them over...Aleister, if this was a way for you to punish me? I promise that I will make you regret this decision by being the best president…” Alejandro raises his right hand and finishes his speech:

“My fellow classmates, teachers, and Principal Lucifugus...I, Alejandro Sanchez, make a vow that I will be the greatest Student Council President that this school has ever seen...Thank you…”

Alejandro extends his arm with the microphone and lets it fall. He immediately proceeds to walk out of the stage. Chelsea chuckles; “Well that was lame…” Carlos sighs; “That was too cheesy, loser…”

Soon, one of the students begins to applaud, and everyone begins to follow him. A plain simple round of applause without any excitement. Students begin to speak with each other, this time they begin to have more faith in him; “Do you think he can do it? The best President? What an Idiot...He could never beat Aleister…”

Kasumi smiles with tears in her eyes; “He did excellent...Alejandro...way to go…”

“Valerie, why did you cheer for that loser?” Many girls ask Valerie, Valerie turns to them and smiles; “Because...I believe in him...and he is not a loser, you guys are calling him that…” Valerie grabs her things and walks to the exit.

As she walks to the exit, a man wearing a suit says to her; “That was very bold of you...Valerie Di Fiore…” Valerie smiles at him; “Thank you, Prof. González.” Prof. Gonzalez makes a luxurious smile; “That girl is going to be mine…”
