Further Election Coverage

Dear Rachel Maddow,

Adam won. Turnout was incredibly low. I got 30 percent of the vote.

“That’s more than you thought you’d get,” said Lacey after it was announced.

“Yeah,” I said.

“You thought you’d get five people,” she said. “He did not win by a landslide, which is what I know you are thinking. That was really close.”

“Yeah.”

“And not to kick you when you’re down, but you didn’t actually want to help select a new superintendent.”

“Yeah, I know.” I sighed.

But I had started to want it, fuck me. In theory.

“It’s just the point of the thing. Adam won. Guys like Adam always win. He can put this on his application to Harvard or whatever,” I said.

“Actually, I heard he wants to go to Princeton,” said Bianca.

I glared at her.

“Sorry.” She shrugged.

Lacey patted my leg sympathetically. She had been optimistic, as word in the hall was that everyone knew that Adam was an awful tool demon taint. But he was a handsome, popular, wealthy tool demon taint. Holy fucking pundits.

I slumped in my chair, not paying much attention or doing anything. What was there to do?

“Lacey?” I asked later.

“Yes?”

“Where do you think you’ll go? To college, I mean.”

“Well…” she said.

“It’s an Ivy, isn’t it?

“Yes,” she said, without her board.

“Where?”

“Penn.”

“Like, Penn State?”

“No, the University of Pennsylvania. My grandparents and parents both went there, and Grandma and Grandpa still live in Philly. Mom and Dad work remotely, so we are going to move there. I have specialists there, and Justin’s first choice is Penn or Drexel next year. I applied early decision, so I could know soon.” Her face lit up. “I’m not going to lie. I’m pretty confident I’ll get in.”

“Well,” I said. “That’s the best new thing in the world, Lace.”

And it is, Rachel. Even if it means I’ll have to somehow survive life at Westing with Adam and without her.

Sincerely,

Brynn
