Prologue

"Listen, I need your help."
is something that has never been said to Martie Hamilton. Sure, she's heard, "Can you move your head? I can't see the board." and the usual "You're blocking my locker."
But no one has ever needed her help. Why? Because everyone knows that Martie Hamilton has a habit of breaking everything she touches. Having a reputation like that makes it hard for someone who wants to help people for a living.
No one ever thinks to give her a second look. No one would think that Martie might excel in all her classes---which she does--- and AP Government is her thing. She knows politics like the back of her hand.
And who would need her help, other than the Class President himself.
