not into that. Second of all, I want to help Megan run for prom queen. I think she’d be a great candidate.”
    “Really?” Megan couldn’t believe her ears. Chelsea was the prettiest girl in their group of friends, maybe the prettiest girl in the whole school, and she wanted to help? “You’d actually do that?”
    “Of course.”
    “I’ll help you too,” Lishia said in a slightly indignant tone.
    Megan smiled at her. “I was hoping you would.”
    Janelle still looked unsure. “Have you seriously thought about this, Megan? I mean, do you have any idea what you’re actually getting into?”
    “You do remember that her sister was prom queen, don’t you?” Lishia said defensively. “Of course Megan knows what she’s getting into.”
    “Your sister was prom queen?” Chelsea looked surprised.
    Janelle filled Chelsea in, then added, “But believe me, Belinda and Megan are as different as night and day. Some people would swear they’re not even related.” She laughed. “And some of us think that’s a good thing.”
    “Thanks, I think.” Megan made an uncomfortable smile.
    “Is that why you want this?” Lishia asked cautiously. “Like you feel some weird, misplaced need to fill your sister’s prom queen pumps?”
    “Not at all. Belinda doesn’t even know I’m doing this.” Megan bit her lip, wondering what Belinda would say when she found out. “Although I’m sure I could get her to help me some—I mean, if she has time, since she is in college now.”
    “Well, I think you’re very brave,” Chelsea assured her. “And I meant what I said—I’d love to help you.” She turned to the others. “You guys meant it too, right?”
    “She’ll need all the help she can get.” Janelle took a bite of her burrito.
    Suddenly Megan remembered her new mantra: Act like you’ve already been crowned . “Thank you so much.” She graciously smiled at her friends. “You have no idea how much I appreciate all of you.”
    Lishia giggled. “Sheesh, Megan, you sound like you’re giving your acceptance speech or something.”
    Megan forced a laugh. “I’ll take that as a compliment.” Thankfully, the conversation switched gears now. But as Megan sat there, eating her salad and listening to her friends, she felt more excited and hopeful than she’d felt in ages. She felt like her life was finally on track!

    M egan’s first official campaign planning meeting was scheduled for after school on Tuesday. However, Lishia had a yearbook meeting, so only Janelle and Chelsea were able to attend. To sweeten the deal, Megan offered to treat her friends to sundaes.
    “Why are you having frozen yogurt?” Janelle gave Megan a suspicious look as they sat down with their sundaes.
    “I’m trying to lose a few pounds before prom.” Megan patted her midsection. “You and Chelsea are already skinny. But I need to watch the fats and calories.”
    “Are you working out?” Chelsea asked.
    “Not exactly, but it’s on my list.” Megan opened her bag. “Speaking of lists, I brought some with me.” She handed them each a copy. “These are the things I need to get done in the next few weeks.”
    Chelsea’s eyes grew wide. “Wow, this is more involved than I realized.”
    “That’s why it helps to get more people involved in the campaign,” Megan explained. “I read that a prom queen campaign is no different than any other sort of political campaign. In fact, I got to thinking that if I enjoy this as much as I think I will, I might even go into politics.”
    Janelle’s pink plastic spoon stopped just inches from her mouth. “You cannot be serious.”
    “Why not?” Megan shrugged. “I’ve always been interested in political science.”
    “You would actually run for public office, on purpose?”
    “I think it’s a great idea,” Chelsea told Janelle. “We need more Christian leaders in politics. Don’t you think?”
    “I guess,” Janelle said reluctantly.
    “You know, Janelle,” Megan said a bit
