Aimee sipped a green tea in a quiet corner of a small cafe, and could scarce suppress a bitter smile when the song changed to "Deep, Deep Trouble" on her ipod. Just the week before, Aimee had crept into her principal office and stolen the class's attendance record book, in the attempt to alter her less than perfect attendance score. It was a last ditch attempt to salvage her chance of remaining in High school, as her marks were in dire danger of going into the negative range. Unfortunately, Aimee got caught in the act as she was altering the records, when her principle came bursting in through the door and angrily dragged the shocked Aimee out of the office.

The principle motioned curtly to Aimee to stand at one side, while she began to dialed furiously into her mobile phone. Aimee now look pale and distressed, like a faded 70s denium jeans. In her life as a student she had broken a rule or two, but nothing ever as serious as this.

By creeping into the principle's office, and stealing the class attendance record book, she had officially broken a dozen school rules along the way. This already warrenty the death by suspension penalty, or worse, expelled from the school and left with a bad record that will make finding a new school in the very competitive society of Singapore an uphill task.
