Andria's POV
The school microphone crackled to life, the high-pitched sound from the microphone causing every student in the cafeteria to flinch.
The low hum of chatter in the cafeteria quietened and was replaced by the voice of the headmistress testing the microphone before speaking.
"Good afternoon, students of Ashwood Academy," Headmistress Diane's voice echoed throughout the room. "I trust you are all having a productive day?"
There was a low murmur in the cafeteria in response to her question.
"I have an important announcement," she continued, her voice carrying that weighty tone that made you feel she was speaking directly to you, even though she was referring to everybody else.
"The time has come for this year's Student Council election. As you know, the council serves not only as a voice for the student body but as a representation of leadership and pack unity within Ashwood Academy."
