Shizuku was nervous. She didn't used to be like that in class, but she was. The class representative applications were approaching, and she had to apply, not only of her own free will, she also did it for another reason. Shizuku had to play a character who was a representative of her class, first she thought it could be easy, but she realized that it was the opposite.
“Good morning.” Said the teacher as she entered the classroom, Shizuku tensed when she realized that the classes had already started. “Without wasting much time, we can start with the applications of the class representative.” The teacher left the things on her desk, grabbed a chalk that was inside her bag, and started writing on the board 'Class Representative Applications', “Any applicants today?” she asked turning around and looking at the students.
“Me, teacher.” One student got up, the teacher simply nodded, turned around and started writing down the student's name on the board, "Misaki Tachibana." She finished writing it and turned again to look at the students, "Anyone else who would like to apply this year?" She asked hoping for an answer.
Shizuku knew who Misaki Tachibana was, she heard that in previous years, Misaki had been the class representative of every class she was. Shizuku was still deep in thought until the teacher asked again, "Anyone else who would like to apply?" Shizuku took a deep breath, and after several seconds she got up from her table and spoke, "Me teacher."
The teacher nodded again and wrote Shizuku's name on the board, after writing it, she turned to the students again to give directions, "Next week the class representative elections will be held." The teacher reported in detail while Shizuku wrote down everything in a notebook, after the teacher gave the details, the bell had rung, it was recess time.
Shizuku finished pointing, put the pen on the table next to her notebook and went out to the patio with her food, this time she wanted to be alone.
when Shizuku arrived the place, she sat down on the grass and began to eat while thinking about everything that had happened. She had to give a proposal as a representative and present it next week, but she was afraid, afraid that her classmates would not like her proposals. Shizuku just sighed and kept eating trying to forget those thoughts, "I hope everything goes well..." She said as she continued eating, thinking what her proposals would be.
"What should go well Shizuko?" Someone asked behind her, the actress hearing this familiar voice, startled, and turned around quickly when she realized it was Kasumi, how had she found her there?
Shizuku quickly managed to make a forced smile and turned around, "Hello Kasumi-san."
"Hi Shizuko... You still haven't answered my question." Kasumi again questioned Shizuku about that, the actress realizing that she couldn't hide it from her anymore.
"And that is happening." Shizuku finished telling her a little worried. "Ooh, the same is happening in my classroom Shizuko, although I find it incredible that you want to run! Kasumin is sorry that you will win elections!" Shizuku blushed upon hearing Kasumi's words, hiding it as quickly as she could, "Thank you very much, Kasumi-san." She responded by reaching out her hand and patting Kasumi's head.
"Kasumin will always be supporting you, Shizuko!" She spoke while Shizuku continued patting her happily at Kasumi's words.

Shizuku when she got home, she started to write the proposals that she could give as a class representative, she had a lot of time to write them and think about the proposals, but she wanted to do it now, it could be said that she had a lot of inspiration from what happened before. And so, it was an everyday routine, Shizuku wake up early after making the proposals the night before, and that same night she would correct them and add some more if she had more time. This made Shizuku think she could win against her classmate.
"And… Done!" Shizuku left the pen near her notebook and sighed, she had finished her proposals, it was Sunday at night, the next day was the presentation of these proposals. Although it was a bit late at night, she wondered, what if these proposals need to be modified one more time? She looked down from her to the notebook, and after thinking about it a few times she took the pencil that was on the side of the notebook and she started writing again, the actress wasn’t going to stay that late, she just wanted to correct some things.

The sun had risen, the curtains in Shizuku's room did not allow the sun's rays to enter her room, the actress's alarm was sounding, it was 7:10 in the morning, in 30 minutes classes began and our little girl The actress was still asleep on the notebook she had.
Hearing the alarm, Shizuku began to open her eyes with difficulty, and when she did, Shizuku realized that she was leaning on her notebook, "...What time is it?" She told herself looking for her cell phone on the desk that she had, when she found it, she saw: 7:13 AM.
Shizuku opened her eyes suddenly when she saw the time, she got up and began to change as fast as she could. Shizuku fell asleep. She wondered why her mother hadn't wake her up, but when she came downstairs, Shizuku saw a note saying that her mother was leaving early for work. The first year ate breakfast as fast as she could and left her house starting to run.
Before leaving her house, Shizuku had seen the time: 7:21 AM, she had 9 minutes left for the presentation of her proposals, and she had to hurry. She blamed herself for staying so late writing these proposals, although that didn't matter at that moment, she had to be early no matter what.
After running for a long time, the first year arrived at her school 4 minutes before the performance, she was a bit relieved by this and decided to go to the bathroom before her classes started. Upon arrival, she supported both hands on the sink, she was very agitated to run from her house to school, she turned on the tap and began to pour water on her face, while she was doing this she began to wonder, Will my classmates like these proposals? Would it be good presenting these proposals?
Shizuku kept thinking until she stopped what she was doing, and she remembered again that the person who is competing for the class representative position always won despite their opponent. The actress knew that she could not against this person, why presenting my proposals if I am still going to lose? She wondered herself as she walked to a corner of the place, crouching down when she reached it and hugging her legs thinking about the same thing. "I think it would be better to ask Shioriko-san about being a-“
"Shizuko!" She heard someone enter the bathroom shouting her name, she did not know who that girl was, until this person came to where she was, "Shizuko, there you are." She heard in a low voice that this person was calling her, she looked up and realized it was, "Kasumi-san?"
"What are you doing here?" Shizuku asked, "Isn't it obvious? We were supposed to walk together this morning! But I hadn't seen you…" Shizuku heard her words and blamed herself to fall asleep, "I’m sorry…."
"Well, eh…" Kasumi didn't know what else to say to her, she was bad at this kind of thing, but she knew she had to help her friend in one way or another. "So Kasumin went to find the bathroom and I found you here." Kasumi gulped and spoke again, "Are you worried about the presentation?"
Shizuku remembered that the introductions were about to start, but she wasn’t confident to go there, "Kasumi-san, are you sure I could win the elections?"
Hearing this, Kasumi quickly replied, "Of course!"
"But what... what if my classmates don't like it?"
Kasumi sighed, "Shizuko, do you remember what I told you?"
Hearing this, Shizuku tried to remember, but her mind was filled with many so many thoughts, "There will be some people who will not like it, and others who will." Kasumi told her again, "But what if no one likes it…?"
"I-I would like it..." Kasumi replied lowering her voice, "T-That's why you must make your presentation! You will never know for sure if you don't!" Although Shizuku didn't want to admit it, Kasumi was right, She had to do it.
"Th-" The bell rang, it was time for the class representative introductions, Kasumi upon hearing the bell, approached Shizuku's face and placed a kiss on her forehead, when she did this, she got up from the ground and went to the bathroom door, "You need… No… Y-You must win this elections Shizuko!" She screamed and with this she left the bathroom blushing at what she did.
Shizuku smiled and blushed because of Kasumi's actions, got up from her position and before leaving the bathroom, she washed her face once more. When she arrived to her classroom, the presentations had already begun, she saw her classmate saying her proposals on the board, but she looked nervous. The actress took her notebook out of her backpack and waited for her classmate to finish speaking.
Hearing the voice of her teacher, she realized it was her turn, she got up from her table and took her small notebook. Upon reaching the blackboard, she began to speak confidently, she was surprised by this herself and kept talking. When she said a proposal she used gestures to capture the attention of her classmates until her presentation was over.
After listening to both presentations, the teacher gave the other students a paper to vote on who should be the next representative. After class, Shizuku returned to the place where she had sat the previous time, but this time she had a present behind her.
She started eating her food until she heard a familiar voice, "Shizuko!" Kasumi shouted and sat in front of Shizuku, the actress was very happy that she arrived, "Hello Kasumi-san, how were your classes?"
"Boring as always…." Kasumi replied , "How was your presentation?" Kasumi asked.
"It went very well. Thanks to you." Shizuku replied smiling at Kasumi, causing Kasumi to blush, "W-Well of course! Kasumin al-"
"Thank you very much Kasumi-san," She interrupted, "Without your help, I could not have the confident to do the presentation." Shizuku after saying these words, she took out the gift that she had hidden and showed it to Kasumi.
"T-This is for me?" She asked, Shizuku giggled a little, "Yes, open it." Kasumi without complaining, began to open what Shizuku had given her, when she opened the box she realized that it was a Pin that looked as a star, "This is…"
"A Pin, my mother gave it to me, but I thought it looked better on you." Shizuku replied smiling at her friend's reaction, R-Really?"
"Yes." Shizuku grabbed the Pin that was still in the box and walked over to Kasumi to put it on, "And… Done!" She said when the Pin was already in Kasumi's hair, "H-How do I look?" Kasumi asked, "You look cute Kasumin, as always." Shizuku stated.
Kasumi without resisting any more, Kasumi hugged Shizuku, "Waa! You are the best Shizukoooo! I love Youuuu!" Kasumi responded almost yelling, Shizuku just laughed, "I love you too, Kasumi-san."

In the teachers' room, the teacher had already counted all the votes, she decided to count them again to see if she was sure, when she counted them again, she realized that they were well counted. She grabbed her pencil and wrote on a piece of paper:
"Shizuku Osaka wins the election."
