I'm a Princess!

So I'm really flattered but also worried...

See, I'm the Vice President of German National Honors Society at my school. I probably do the most of my club and I set up e-mail and other systems of doing things and always participate in our community service of recycling. Basically I'm one of, if not the most active member in that club. So everyone knows me in it.

Well Mardi Gras celebration is coming up and all the foreign language clubs and honor societies work together to create this social gathering with dancing, partying, and food and stuff like that. Well, there's a tradition that a male and female from each group is elected as Prince and Princess and obviously from my title of the post, you can guess what happened.

I didn't want to be princess-well, I did. I think deep down every teenage girl wants a chance to shine and be noticed above everyone else. Well, a few meetings before elections, Frau brought up the elections to remind us to come to the meeting next week. A guy named Steve laughed and said, "Well obviously Tori is the Princess." I was so flattered that he had said that but also dreadfully embarassed.

I forgot about it by lunch because I mean, it's just some guy saying his opinion...but Meredith, another member DIDN'T forget. As soon as I sat down next to her she sends me almsot a scowl and scoffs, "So you think you're going to be the Princess?"

Me: "Um, I don't know. We have elections next time to find out who will be."

Meredith: "Well, do you want to be the Princess."

Me: "Well yeah...but I mean who doesn't...?"

It was then that I realized, that Meredith was pissed at me because of a comment some guy said stupidly.

So today was elections.
And first we voted for the Prince. And someone said Steve (imagine that the guy who predicted me being the princess), and I seconded it simply because Steve had been going on and on about how he didn't want to be the prince.

Then Frau asked who should be the Princess. And Steve automatically said, "Tori."
So I shouted really loudly and pointed desperately at her saying, "MEREDITH!"

So Frau put it to a vote and selected me as the first vote....everyone except for my ex-boyfriend and Meredith and me raised their hands. So yeah, I was pretty much elected the Princess.

I tried to let Meredith get the Princess...I really did. It was going to be me without a vote if I hadn't nominated her with so much enthusiasm. But like....it's bittersweet. I feel guilty, but it's not my fault they voted for me. And I'm so happy that I get to be a Princess...it's just so hard to feel happy without feeling guilt....I don't know..just a rant...
