Weirdo President: 
 
 “ Susan McKinney has received another thunderous applause from her audience here in yet another traditionally blue state. If Representative McKinney were to win this election it would be the first time in US history that an Independent party nominee won a presidential election. From Fox News, I ’ m Jim Alexander. Thank you for watching and have a nice evening. ” With that sign off I turned off the TV. I sat there for a few more minutes. I can ’ t believe 30 years ago, I graduated from the same high school class as her. I turned to my wife who was twirling her hair in her finger, she was absolutely enamored with Susan and always asked what she was like. 
 
 “ Do you think she remembers you? ” I sat there is silence, but knowing my wife she had a few more questions. “ I mean, do you think she ’ ll invite your class to the White House or something? ” I smiled to myself, “ I hope not. ” She moved closer to me on the couch, “ What do you mean? You all studied for four years together! You ’ d figure she would want to see the whole gang again. ” I sighed heavily “ She hasn ’ t come to any of the High School Reunions, and to be honest it was probably for good reason. We were all jerks to her. ” My wife looked sad to hear this “ Why did you ever tell me that before? ” I didn ’ t have the heart to look at her, “ To be honest, I ’ d didn ’ t think she would win. Now that he has a 75 % approval rating, she probably will. She might come out with a book, and I ’ d be embarrassed if she mentioned her high school class. ” 
 
 My wife didn ’ t say anything, which is a bit unusual for her, but she knew she should bragging that I went to school with the President anymore. “ What was she like in high school? ” She was so out of the ordinary, I didn ’ t have any trouble recalling her “ She was different, but didn ’ t care if you thought so. She was brilliant in the sciences, but struggled with the humanities. She would often wear earthly colored color clothes and would say she was an elf. ” “ No way, ” my wife said in disbelief. “ Oh yeah, she would have lunch with squirrels and pick up trash during her free periods. ” And there was a lot trash, mostly because me and the other football players would throw it on the ground on purpose. “ I ’ ll never forget a time where I accidently missed a trash can, and my candy wrapper fell on the floor. She stormed up to me and said ‘ You don ’ t care about the environment! Everyone is always mistreating it and one day you all will be sorry when its gone! ’ She bent down quickly and threw it away. I told her I was going to throw it away and she remarked that she doubted it. ” 
 
 “ Man what a psycho, ” my wife said smiling. “ But that would explain her environment policies ‘ Our duty is to each other, and our planet. Without either, how can we prosper? ’ I love the line. ” I nodded in agreement, “ I hope she forgets about how poorly we treated her in high school and goes on to be the leader of the country. I think she ’ ll do a lot of good. ” My wife smiled “ Yeah or she ’ ll have the secret service round you all up or something and make you clean a beach. ” I thought about it “ And I would be okay with that. We owe her a lot more than that. ” My wife pecked me on the check and popped up from the couch, “ I ’ m getting some ice cream, do you want some? ” “ No thank you, ” was all I could muster. I didn ’ t feel like I deserved ice cream, the way I had treated our future president.
