The bananas were half priced today

@"A M E N O"

In an unusual stroke of brilliance, Anh Sang made the realization that if she could bribe the other students to vote for her, she should try that with her competition, too. That was why she was now hauling a sack of bananas down the hallway with her, scouring the place for last semester's student council secretary. She didn't know if Wei really liked bananas but he was a monkey person so Anh Sang really hoped he did. Also, she kind of spent most of her allowance on ten pounds of the fruit.

Ten pounds was a lot. It was more than ninth of her weight. Luckily, she had her butterflies to help her carry it. They floated behind her, crushed into a platform with her present. Slash bribe slash whatever!

He had to be here somewhere.

It was actually a lot of work running around with something she totally wasn't carrying herself! Then again, it might have had something to do with the fact that she hadn't been doing anything but run around madly for the last few days. At the very least, though, she was now two hundred percent more confident in her chances of winning.

She heard people talking about Wei being around, so she simply wiggled her way through the crowd, following the line of people holding booklets. Personally, she thought they were kind of boring but it did make everything seem more official. Anh Sang searched around for a little longer.

There! As the crowd opened up again, she caught a glimpse of her target. "WEEEEIIII!" She bulldozed her way through the rest of the people, as much as a little girl with a sack of bananas and a bunch of butterflies could have. "I NEED TO TALK TO YOU!"

Subtly was for people who weren't cute little eleven year-old girls with no concept of the idea. Anh Sang got straight to the point and motioned the platform of her butterflies to come closer so that the bag was more visible. "I'm running for the council, too!" She announced. "If I gave you these, would you vote for me?"

It didn't really occur to her to ask him to stop running or anything. Because they were both running, obviously, so why would anybody stop?

She frowned a bit at Wei's offer. "But I'm already running with Morgan," the girl pointed out doubtfully. "Three people can't run at together, can they? And you'd have to ask Morgan, too, if that's okay."

"Wait, are you still only running for se-cre-ta-ry again?" To be perfectly honest, Anh Sang never thought of what she'd do if he said no to her or something like that. Besides, she already bought these bananas! She couldn't possibly eat them all on her own.

Still frowning, Anh Sang let out an exaggerated hum of thought. She didn't really want to keep these bananas to herself but then again, she also didn't want to just give them away for nothing at all. The girl turned to look at the bananas for a moment, and then back at Wei.

"Why don't you just vote for me? That's just one thing," she pointed out. In hindsight, maybe it hadn't been that great of an idea to spend all of her money trying to win over just one person. It had seemed like a good idea at the time when she had thought it up, though! "Or, I don't know! You can help me bake things!" More cookies were always good.
