TTT: Leah had no way of winning.

Mr. Sharpe opened up another draw and looked around. He gathered another ziplock bag full of ballots. He tossed them on his desk and counted them out in front of Leah.

"Hmmmm," he began to fidget in his desk chair "it...ummmmm looks like you are a bit shy of the winner. I'm sorry Miss Williams."

"Are you sure?" Leah said crossing her arms and looking at the mess on Mr. Sharpe's desk. He hastily looked back through the stacks.

"I'm sorry. I am afraid Mrs. Clemens has way more votes Miss Williams...I'm sorry I uh I shouldn't have probably told you till the announcements anyway I apologize." He looked sheepish. He regretted saying he would let her know at all. He would change the policy next year.

"How close was it?" Leah asked, crossing her arms across her chest defensively.

"She won by quite a lot. Maybe next year Miss Williams." he gave her a soft smile like he would let a student know they failed an important exam.

"Well thanks anyway..." she spun around and left Mr. Sharpe's classroom in disappointment.
