5 Minute Freewrite: Monday - Prompt: election
Img Source
Suzy had worked very hard for the past few weeks to help her friend Ellie in the election for class president. She had put up banners, created flyers, spoke to all the students in their class encouraging them to vote for Ellie.
On the night before the election was to take place Ellie had called Suzy. She was very nervous about the election. There were 2 other candiates Jimmy Haws and Derek Burke . She was told by Derek that she didn't have a chance to win be cause she was a girl. Suzy assured Ellie everything was ok and not to worry.
The next morning everyone was on pins and needles as they waited for the results of the election. Ellie was so nervous she was chewing her fingernails. The boys just sat their with their friends without a care. Suzy, of course, was waiting by the room where the votes were being counted.
10 minutes, 20 minutes passed. After 30 minutes, Mrs. Stanfield came out and told Suzy the results. Suzy sat there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.

poor suzy, it happens 🤗

@tryskele did it not? hey where you been? missed you :p
I had surgery a couple of weeks ago, my mom came to help and well....... She kept giving me crap for being on the computer LOL. 'There you go playing your video games again' LOL I got on to pay bills and to try to get a post or something out. I had to pull an overnighter to get my comments and votes for @pifc LOL
And yes ...Suzy won ....Ellie lost :D
oh nooozzzz hugs for surgery and tell mom to go for a walk 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
whos suzy and ellie👀😂🤣😂🤣
I should get signed off by the DR. on Wed. Mom went on a mini-vacation to go see her friends, so things turned out fine :)
Suzy and Ellie are from the story LOL
so glad it worked out with mom. too funny 🤣🤣 oh yessss!! sorry i visit a lot of posts and dont remember all the stories 😮😮😮
I know the feeling all too well. I did respond to something on fast-reply and forgot what the conversation was and boy my response was way off .
Why would she run for a president when she's not well prepared? That's my first question after reading this😄 suzy learned that nothing what she afraid of before really happens and a congratulation for her😉
Love this freewrite @tryskele
Well, Ellie is popular and loved by everyone. Suzy is her friend and wants to help, so Ellie has her doing all of the things she should be doing. It backfires.
Ellie will have a hard time to support suzy when she is a president, but that's what friends are for.. just like what you do in pifc😉
You are very right. It shows too that you shouldn't rely on someone else to do your work for you. In the end things usually come out right. I actually wish this happened more often LOL
LOL.. No Gain No Pain😉 those students need to learn how it works
They do. I've never been sure if student government is a good thing. I think the process is a great learning experience, yet by this example it shows how our process works. Each candidate has a 'campaign manager' that does all the work (in the big elections it's the manager and their team) As long as the candidate pulls their weight in the work process it works. In this case, the candidate thought too much of herself to do the work.
I completely agree. If you don't do the work, you don't deserve the reward.
What happened? I am not convinced Derek won!
Well Suzy did all the work for Ellie and like @lynncoyle1 says stupid boys. Suzy is dumbfounded by the results .... None of the people running were elected? 😃
Now that is a paradox! Nice writing!
