At my high school at the start of every year they had this huge fundraiser & they expected every1 to help. U didnt have to but they didnt think very highly of u if u didnt. The school was split into 4 "houses" & competed against each other to see who could raise the most.. Well I didnt see the point of baking horrible home-made lamingtens or selling raffle tickets let alone actually going to the social at night time & helping with a stall. Most people got really into it & there were awards for various things. Also during the "house" meetings about 75 students were crammed into a classroom designed to hold no more then 30 so I was quite irratible & 1 time a teacher asked me in front of every1 if I would help & I barly managed to say "uh, no I dont think so" & they kept at it & I repeated myself & they said how dissapointed they were & I'm just thinking 'just cos Im a good student who doesnt make alot of noise & gets the work done doesnt mean I am automatically going to want to help u'. Then the same thing happened the next year I wasnt overly impressed it was the same teacher to... sry it was so long
Sounds like the chocolate wars XD ..never read the second book.
