Sheena's POV



Who would have thought that I passed all my grades in Grade 9? I'm so lucky because I am friends with those three nutshells, we pulled an all nighter before the exam and they patiently taught me ALL the subjects. I received an earful from Colet because it took them one hour or two before I could focus on the notes. "Hindi ka naman bobo, tamad ka lang." Yan ang palagi nilang sinasabi sa akin. What do they want me to do? I suck at studying. Sayaw siguro pwede pa.








And because I passed all my subjects, it became my ticket to reaching my dream — PS5. Dad finally approved it for me but mom's still contemplating if I am deserving to get one but sooner, I believe she'll agree to dad.







I guess I can finally say that my life is falling according to plan, well, except for one thing.






Pero hindi ako papayag. Sheena Mae Catacutan kaya ako! The main dancer of dance club. I am also the cutest, youngest, and freshest among the four of us.






"Ms. Catacutan, I already told you thrice that I can't sign your clearance. You must let us talk to your parents first." our principal with a bald hair said while fixing his tuxedo.








"They're too busy, sir. I have my driver naman with me, you can talk to him." I smiled sheepishly, baka lang makalusot.








"Hay! If it only I'm not friends with your parents, hindi kita papayagang mag-enroll eh." he said while reading my records. "Let me read your violations. Ten times late plus you broke some laboratory apparatus, 1 projector, and 1 tv."








"Better late than absent right, Sir? And about the broken school stuff, all of them happened in accident." I reasoned out.








"Nagrason ka pa talagang bata ka! Stop being a trouble maker. Ayusin mo buhay mo ngayong you're about to enter Grade 10. Matalino ka naman, tamad ka lang." he said before signing my clearance. Thanks to my parent's connections.








I scratched my back before turning to him. "Titino na sir. Anyways, I have a gift for you."








"Nag-abala ka pa talaga! Ano ba 'yan?"  I immediately gave him my gift and excused myself before rushing my way to the exit.








I was laughing so hard when Colet, Mikha, and Maloi approached me. "How's your clearance? All goods?" Colet asked.








I raised my right hand signaling her to wait for my reply after I finish laughing. "Okay, I smell trouble. What did you do this time?" Maloi asked while looking at me worriedly.








"Yep, okay na clearance ko. Trouble agad? Wala kaya akong ginawa. I was just being nice to Mr. Principal, wala ba kayong tiwala sa akin?" I asked, as if I felt betrayed.








"Real talk? Wala." Mikha butted in.








"Alright. To satisfy your curiosity, I gave him a gift." I told them. I saw their reactions soften at parang nabunutan ng tinik. Siyempre mayabang tayo! "Suklay, shampoo, at conditioner." I added at natawa na naman sa bilis ng pagpalit ng reaction nila.








"Gago ka talaga!" Maloi slapped my head hard while Mikha and Colet shook their heads.





"Tara sa Bloom's. I'm hungry." I told them after naming tumakbo away from Principal's office kasi siguradong hahabulin ako ni Principal once he saw my gifts.
