Hello and welcome to our 2020-2021 middle school student body presidential

campaign. Today we'll be hearing from our candidates to learn a little more

about who they are and what they would do if they were elected student body

president. Our two candidates are Claire Fitzroy and Edward Kahn.

The first candidate we'll be hearing from is Claire Fitzroy. Take it away,

Claire. Cool it, Eggie.

Our school is one of the main contributors to pollution in our

community, which is why I'm running on a zero waste campaign.

Let's get rid of the no cell phone policy on school grounds. We have a

right to know what's up.

Easy access to recycling bins on school property, plus water bottle refill

stations to encourage reusable containers.

Every Friday will be free pizza day in the cafeteria.

We must eliminate vending machines.

They dispense too many single-use plastics and aluminum cans.

Pop quizzes should not be allowed on Mondays.

should not be a popularity contest.

A vote for me is a vote for our planet.

Elect Claire Fitzroy. I'm Claire Fitzroy and I approve this message.

Some people say elections aren't popularity contests, but I say why not?

Vote Eggie.

You guys are so superficial.

Pizza and cell phones?

Hey, Cub.

Oh, hi, Margo. What's up?

I liked your sharp edges review. An acoustic treat that won't soon be

forgotten. Well said.

Thanks. I didn't know you read my stuff.

I didn't, but now I will.

What are you doing for lunch?

Probably going to the cafeteria.

My aunt makes these amazing breakfast burritos.

Got an extra one.

Want to eat outside?

Um, sure.

Someone's got a hot date.

Shut up.

Hey. Thanks for meeting me.

Of course. I have math in five minutes, though. I know. I was just feeling weird

about it the other day, and I'm sorry.

I was the one who told you to do the drama club, and it wasn't right for me

to snap at you about the concert.

It's okay. I shouldn't have forgotten about our plans.

So, am I still your boyfriend?

If you still want to be.

I do.

I just need you to do something for me.

Can you tell Leo McCoy you're not interested?

We're just friends.

I mean, we're not even really friends.

I know it sounds stupid but I can't date you if you don't.

Just let me know what you decide.

Can you believe Claire thinks she can actually be Eggie?

Insane. I get that Claire Fitzroy is a genius, but I still don't want her to be

president. She just doesn't share my values, you know? Like, I want a

candidate who will actually do something better for the school. Like, less pop

quizzes and more pizza.

She's totally confused if she thinks she's going to win.

Maybe not as confused as you think. A lot of kids thought Eggie's speech was

full of empty promises.

How do you know that? Yeah, Gus, that's way creepy.

Are you spying or something?

It's called polling and it's my job to know that.

I think you should recheck your data because I crushed it. Why didn't you go

with the talking points I put together? That stuff about pop quizzes was way off

script.

Personally, I hate pop quizzes. Me too. And if we hate them, so should everyone

else. The point of being popular is for everyone else to want to think what we

think, to want to be part of our squad.

Brittany is right.

I am. We're total squad goals, but we need to present a united front if we

want anyone to follow us. Eggie, you need to start listening to Gus. Katie,

you and Walker have to make it official.

Brittany, I need you to pair up too.

You don't think I'm trying?

I'm single.

Hey.

Maybe if you were the last person on earth, I'd think about it, but it's

still probably no.

What about Jordan? I heard there was trouble in Paradise with McAdams.

You did?

That's interesting.

Well, he is pretty cute.

If Harmony really is over him, I don't see why he should be stuck, lonely, and

single. I could do some digging.

Find out. Stat.

Yeah. Stat.

Hiding from someone?

Oh, I just needed some time to think.

If I'm interrupting, I... No, you're not.

You're quite the artist.

This is how I come up with my routines.

This dance teacher when I was little, she taught me that these are the symbols

people use. You must be the team's favorite.

Yeah, right. The girls hate me.

I'm sure they don't hate you.

They literally want me to resign as captain.

Well, that's not cool, but you know what Groucho marks it, right?

I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member.

I don't know this Groucho, but I'm definitely grouchy.

Thanks. You're very helpful.

Don't thank me. Thank Groucho.

I'll see you later, Belle.

Wow, that's really good.

I told you, it's the green peppers and the hash brown together.

I wish my mom cooked like this, or cooked at all.

Wow, your pin is so cool.

Thanks, my grandma gave it to me.

That's really cool.

I haven't really told my parents yet.

We just don't really talk about this sort of stuff.

I just haven't really felt the need to yet.

I have these really new and great and supportive friends.

I'm sure.

Anyway, me and some girls I know, we're going to this party in Millwood next

weekend. You should come.

Really?

That sounds fun.

I'm in.

Okay. Whenever you're ready.

Well, rest us, Hermia, if you think it good, and tarry for the comfort of the

day.

Be it. So, Lysander, find you out of bed, for I upon this bank will rest my

head.

One turth shall serve as a pillow for us both, one heart, one bed, two bosoms,

and one troth.

Nay, good Lysander, for my sake, my dear, lie further off yet. Do not lie so

near.

Oh, take the sense. Sweet of my innocence.

Love takes the meaning in love's conference.

Okay, thank you.

So then Katie and Brittany clasp, and Simone, you punch up. Got it?

Yes, we got it.

Can we go now? I want to go to the theater. They're putting up the cast

list. Uh, yes, but just one more thing.

I thought it over, and I decided that I don't want to be captain anymore.

As captain, you're supposed to keep your team motivated, and you guys just don't

seem motivated.

For real?

For real. And Simone, if you want to be captain, it's all yours.

I didn't see that coming.

Me neither.

As your new captain, I'm going to keep the routine mostly the same, except I'll

do the front lunge at the end, and Brittany, you'll do the pop-up. I love

that. So, then what do you want me to do? What would you do? You'd just quit.

I quit as captain.

As your new captain, I think it would be best if we recruit some new members.

Sorry, Belle. You're off the team. What?

You can't do that. Of course I can. I'm captain.

Come on, ladies.

Sorry. That was savage. I honestly didn't see it going out that way.

Right.

Uh, Brittany?

Coming.

Sorry.

Vote for Claire.

Claire for president.

Vote for Claire. Vote for Claire. Vote for Claire.

No cast list yet.

Oh good. Who do you want to be? I guess Lysander. You?

I think Hermia. She sounds the prettiest.

Hey, can I talk to you about something?

Sure.

So, you know Jordan, right?

That's his name?

Yeah. So, me and him were kind of a thing last year, but this year I guess

it's more serious?

Oh, yeah.

That's how it was my old school, too.

Everyone was coupled up. I get it.

So, the point is... Hey, everybody.

Thank you for all your brilliant auditions today. You guys should be very

proud of yourselves.

Now, without further ado, the cast list.

Walker, you got Theseus.

And you, of course, got Hermia, which makes me Helena.

And if I got Hermia...

Who's Lysander?

That would be me.

Where were you? Mom's mad.

I was playing.

With who?

Not telling.

It was that boy again.

TK. You're in love with him.

Am not.

I'll too.

He's your boyfriend.

Be quiet, Harmony, or I'll never tell you anything again.

You never tell me anything anyway!

I'm only curious about boys.

I'll never be like that.

Next week on Chicken Girls.

Eggie used to be my boyfriend.

So I can tell you firsthand that his whole campaign is built on empty

promises. What you did to Belle was cruel.

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

So you don't have a problem with me dating Leo?

That was humiliating. Do you think toying with people is funny?

That's not what I meant.
