Should i run for student council?

ok, well im a freshman in high school. last year as an 8th grader, i ran for president. and we had fun running. stickers and speeches and all. but i lost to this kid who did nothing. now its time to pick officials again and ppl are asking if i am running. first of all if they all thought i was qualified and stuff why didnt i win to begin with. lol i know its just a popularity contest. anyway. alot of ppl in my homeroom asked me, espicially some of the more popular kids. when i lost i was really upset. but i dont want to run and be humilated again. what should i do? should i run? and if so should i run for prez, vp, secretary or treasurer? thanks!
