Chapter 611: Close Call
Yukihime High School, Elffire City.
After the debate ended, the Principal announced that the election would start shortly after. So, for the next hour, each one of the hundreds of students of the Yukihime High School voted for the group each one wanted to assume the school student council.
Because of the quantity of students to vote, it took a while for everyone to be able to vote.
30 minutes after the voting ended, the results of election would be announced. The students were already free to leave after voting, but due to everyone's apprehension to know who would win, the majority of the crowd stayed back to receive the results.
While the school employees quickly counted the votes, the auditorium was steaming with tension.
Who would win?
"I'm so nervous!" Umaru exclaimed, "My heart is beating so fast!"
"Mine as well!" Carolla exclaimed back.
Aurora and Vivian nodded in agreement, the two of them were so nervous that they couldn't even speak. The calmness that both of them had during their speeches had already disappeared.
Just like that, the clock went by excruciatingly slowly for the next period of time.
It was only when the principal appeared on the stage that everyone let out a sigh of relief mixed with the excitement that they were about to know who was the winner.
"I'm sure everyone is dying to know who won the election, so I'll be direct." He let out a brief laugh before opening the envelope.
He read the name inside the envelope and smiled before saying to the microphone, "And the next members of the student council are..."
Everyone leaned in unconsciously with expectation as they waited for what name he would say next.
"Vivian, Aurora, Umaru, and Carolla!" He exclaimed.
The place was filled with thunderous cheers as soon as he finished speaking.
AHHHH
"YES!"
"I LOVE YOU VIVIAN SENPAI!"
"...."
Everyone who was rooting for Vivian's group couldn't hold their excitement as they jumped and hugged each other in happiness.
It was without surprise that the girls were mad in happiness as they heard the results.
They shouted, hugged each other, and jumped around.
"I knew we could do it!" Carolla exclaimed.
"We are part of the student council!" Aurora shouted in happiness.
Bianca watched their conversation before saying with a smile, "I'm sure next year the victory
will belong to us."
"Yeah!" The girls exclaimed.
While everyone left the auditorium, there were a few people left behind.
The new student council!
Their first task in their new job was to organize the auditorium after the election and debate.
The girls talked among each other as they organized the place.
"I still can't believe we won by such a small margin." Umaru commented.
"Bianca's group was too strong." Carolla shook her head.
"We have to thank Theo for his help with our proposal, without his suggestion, our proposition wouldn't be able to secure this victory over Bianca." Vivian commented.
"My brother!" Aurora suddenly shouted, "I forgot to tell him!"
Aurora suddenly picked up her phone and called her brother. She promised him to call to tell
the news after the election.
Vivian and the other two laughed as they saw their friend's silly actions.
Just like that, after a few beeps, Theo answered Aurora's call.
"Big brother! We won the election!" Aurora shouted.
"Really? I'm so happy for you, cupcake!" Theo replied with a smile.
"I'm part of the student council now." Aurora declared laughing out loud.
"Yes, you are. I'm proud of you, kiddo." Theo laughed as well, "We have to commemorate
this, let's have a gathering at our house after my shift at the restaurant. Tell your friends that they can sleep over. I'll talk with our other friends."
"Are you sure, big brother?" Aurora asked, "It's just a high school student council. You don't
need to make a big fuss over it."
"How can't I?" Theo retorted, "My baby sis achievements should never be ignored. It's decided. I'll see you after my shift. We are going to party tonight, baby!" Theo laughed
happily.
Aurora could only helplessly smile as she heard his words, but deep down, she was extremely happy that she had a brother who cared so much for her.
"Okay, I'll tell them. Bye. See you later." Aurora said before finishing the call.
Aurora looked at her friends and let out a smile, "We are going to party tonight, girls!"
