“Tammy picked up a large brown paper bag that had been sitting on the floor, and each of the girls dipped into it and pulled out ribbons in bright shades of pink and yellow and green. Then they started handing them out to all the seventh-graders in the cafeteria.
"What are they doing?" cried Beth as Laura worked her way toward their table.
"Whatever it is, I don't like it," said Jana. "She's putting one on Randy!" Laura was bending over Randy Kirwan and pinning a ribbon to his sweater, and he wa...s smiling at her.
When Laura got to their table, she said with a sneer, "I'm sure you'll want these, too." She tossed several brightly colored ribbons into the middle of the table and with a flip of her long braid, went on to the next table.

"What do they say?" asked Melanie.
"What do you expect them to say?" Christie answered, picking up one. "They're campaign ribbons." She read the card, decorated with a hand-colored rainbow, that was pinned to the top of the ribbon in her hand: "'Vote for Melissa McConnell for Seventh-Grade Class President, If You Care Enough to Elect the Very Best.'" "The very worst, you mean!" said Katie, ripping the card off the ribbon and stuffing both inside her empty chocolate milk carton.MoreLess
