Later that evening, as Aoto was relaxing after all the chaos, his phone buzzed with a new email notification. He casually opened it, expecting something unimportant, only to see the subject line:

"Join Saint Queen's Academy and experience the wonders of our school and education."

Aoto stared at the email in disbelief, already knowing who it was from. Without even opening the email, he let out an exasperated groan. "Oh, for fuck's sake. Really, Kent?"

He immediately took a screenshot of the email and posted it in the CherryWood group chat. It didn't take long for everyone to see it.

Aoto:
Guess who just sent me this lovely email...
(screenshot attached)

The chat went silent for a brief second before it absolutely erupted.

Softy Class Girl 1:
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! 😡💢

Warrior Class Teacher:
THAT ARROGANT BITCH! 😤🤬

Mako:
OH HELL NO! SHE'S TRYING TO STEAL YOU THROUGH EMAIL NOW?! 🍩💢

Akia:
That's low, even for her. 😠

Principal Harriet jumped back into the chat, and this time, she was not holding back any punches.

Principal Harriet:
Kent sent you an EMAIL?! Are you fucking serious?! I'm going to rip her a new one! 🔥

The chat descended into pure chaos as teachers and staff who had once maintained at least a thin veneer of professionalism began to completely lose it. The fact that Kara Kent had stooped to emailing Aoto directly after already being humiliated in the chat was the last straw.

Teacher 2 (Warrior Class, PE):
That's it! Next time I see her, she's getting thrown into the nearest dumpster. 🗑️👊

Cafeteria Staff:
How dare she?! After all our hard work, she has the nerve to try and poach you again, Aoto?! Fuck that!

Tech Nerd 1 (Softy Class):
WE'RE THE BEST SCHOOL, BITCH!

Principal Harriet:
That conniving snake. She has some nerve thinking she can just email one of MY students and try to lure them away. Well, newsflash, Kent—Aoto's not for sale! 💥

The normally composed history teacher, who was always careful with his words, finally snapped.

History Teacher:
FUCK PROFESSIONALISM! I'M DONE WITH HER BULLSHIT!

Nighter Class Guy:
We should go to war with Saint Queen's. I'm done with this passive-aggressive crap! 😤

Everyone in the chat was fired up, and even the meme-makers jumped in. One particularly savage meme was quickly shared in the chat:

A picture of Kara Kent in front of a castle-like Saint Queen's Academy, holding a massive checkbook. The caption read:

"Saint Queen's Strategy: If we can't be the best, we'll just buy everyone else!"

It was quickly followed by another meme:

A picture of Aoto standing triumphantly in a CherryWood Academy uniform with students rallying around him. The caption read:

"CherryWood: We don't need your money, we've got loyalty and real family!"

The students and staff continued to send message after message, each angrier than the last. But amidst the chaos, Aoto couldn't help but laugh. The fact that Saint Queen's Academy had to resort to such desperate measures only confirmed how jealous they were of CherryWood's success—and of Aoto's unique status.

After letting the chaos run for a while, Aoto decided to add one final comment to the conversation.

Aoto:
I'm not going anywhere, guys. CherryWood's my school. Saint Queen's can kiss my ass. 😎

The chat erupted in laughing emojis, high-fives, and a flurry of messages reaffirming that Aoto was, without a doubt, the pride of CherryWood Academy.

Even Principal Harriet, still pissed off but clearly proud of Aoto, added:

Principal Harriet:
Damn right! You're staying with us. If Kent tries anything else, she's getting a lawsuit and a fist in the face. 😤👊

The students and staff, still hyped up, continued to vent their frustrations, but it was clear that the solidarity at CherryWood Academy was stronger than ever. The school was more than just a place of learning—it was a family. And no amount of money or influence from Saint Queen's Academy could ever take that away.

CherryWood Academy wasn't just #1—it was a community that stood together, and Aoto was at the center of it all, whether he liked it or not.

As the chat settled down after the storm of insults and memes directed at Kara Kent and Saint Queen's Academy, Aoto suddenly remembered something important. His eyes widened as a realization hit him like a truck. He quickly opened the group chat and typed out a message.

Aoto:
Uh... guys... I just realized something. 😳

The chat was still buzzing with activity, but his message quickly got the attention of the students and staff.

Akia:
What is it?
Don't tell me Saint Queen's sent you ANOTHER email.

Aoto:
Nah, it's something worse... My transcripts are still open. Like, they haven't been officially stamped by any school yet. 😬

The chat went quiet again for a few moments. No one, except Principal Harriet, seemed to understand what that actually meant. The students began typing confused responses.

Rika:
What does that mean? 🤔

Mako:
Yeah, Aoto, what's the big deal?

Kay:
Dude, explain. Is this something bad? 😕

Aoto, knowing that the situation could quickly spiral out of control, continued typing, trying to clarify.

Aoto:
It means I'm still technically "up for grabs." Like, I'm not officially enrolled in any school. Since it's summer vacation, and no one has stamped my transcripts—either me, my parents, or a school principal—I could be snatched up by any school that gets to it first. 😓

Suddenly, Principal Harriet jumped back into the chat, and her response came in fast.

Principal Harriet:
WHAT?! YOUR TRANSCRIPTS ARE STILL OPEN?! 😱

The chat immediately lit up again, and the students were now panicking, unsure what to do.

Mako:
Wait... WHAT?!

Akia:
Hold up, does that mean any school could technically take you?! 😰

Kay:
OH HELL NO. WE CAN'T LET THAT HAPPEN! 🔥

Rika:
I SWEAR TO GOD, IF SAINT QUEEN'S GETS TO IT— 🤬

It was clear that the students didn't fully grasp the severity of the situation, but Principal Harriet absolutely did. If Aoto's transcripts were still open, that meant that Kara Kent or any other school principal could potentially grab him before CherryWood officially claimed him as their own student.

Principal Harriet:
Everyone, shut up for a second. This is serious. If Aoto's transcripts are still open, he's a free agent. Any school could technically enroll him—even without his permission—if they file the paperwork first. 😡

The chat exploded in chaos again.

Warrior Class Girl:
WE NEED TO STAMP THOSE TRANSCRIPTS NOW!

Islander Class Boy:
QUICK, BEFORE KENT GETS HER HANDS ON THEM! 😤

Akia:
Harriet, you have to do something! She could swoop in at any moment! 😱

Aoto, who had originally just brought it up out of caution, now realized just how urgent the situation had become.

Aoto:
What should I do? I don't want to get snatched by Saint Queen's or some other stuck-up school. 😨

Principal Harriet immediately fired back:

Principal Harriet:
You, Aoto, are going to stay right where you are. I'm getting in my car RIGHT NOW and heading to the school office. I'll stamp your damn transcripts myself. Nobody is taking you away from CherryWood. Not on my watch. 💥

The students, now more hyped than ever, began flooding the chat with encouragements, fully supporting Principal Harriet in her mission to officially enroll Aoto.

Rika:
You got this, Harriet! STAMP THOSE TRANSCRIPTS! 🔥

Kay:
Make it official, boss! Aoto's ours! 💪

Tech Nerd 1:
Get it done! CherryWood for life! 👑

Principal Harriet, already halfway out the door of her office, responded one last time before going radio silent:

Principal Harriet:
I'm on it. CherryWood is about to secure our Earth Human, and we're doing it by the book. Aoto, stay safe until I'm done. No emails, no phone calls, nothing. 🔥🚗💨

With that, Principal Harriet went dark, leaving the students in suspense. The chat continued buzzing with energy, but now everyone was holding their breath, waiting for the confirmation that Aoto would be officially enrolled at CherryWood Academy.

Meanwhile, Aoto, still sitting on his couch, couldn't believe how fast things had escalated. One moment he was just thinking out loud, and the next, the entire school was on high alert, with Principal Harriet racing to lock him down before Kara Kent or any other school could swoop in.

He sighed, leaning back on the couch and texting one last message to the chat.

Aoto:
Well, this turned into a whole thing, huh?

Akia:
Yeah, but don't worry. Harriet's on it. You're not going anywhere. 😤

As the group chat continued to blow up with memes, emojis, and expressions of loyalty to CherryWood, all Aoto could do was wait—and hope that Principal Harriet made it in time to secure his place at the school for good.

As the group chat continued buzzing with messages, Aoto had another troubling thought. He quickly sent a message, stopping everyone in their tracks.

Aoto:
Wait... does Principal Harriet even have the official copy of my transcripts?

The chat went silent again as people waited for Principal Harriet to respond. It didn't take long before she fired back, and the news wasn't what anyone wanted to hear.

Principal Harriet:
...No, I don't. I thought the school had a copy, but it turns out they never sent it over from Earth. We don't have your official transcripts here. 😡

The students and teachers in the chat were immediately thrown into a frenzy once more.

Rika:
WHAT?! So where are they?!

Kay:
You mean we've been freaking out over nothing?!

Akia:
Oh my god, this is a disaster. Where are they, Aoto?

Aoto:
Well, the good news is...
They're still back on Earth. 😅

A collective sigh of relief rippled through the chat, as at least now they knew that the official documents were out of Saint Queen's Academy's immediate reach. But then, Aoto dropped the bad news.

Aoto:
But the bad news is... I found my copy here in my apartment.
And it's not looking good. 😬

He quickly sent a picture of the copy of his transcripts in the chat, and the chaos reignited almost instantly. On the document, both CherryWood Academy and Saint Queen's Academy were selected as potential schools, but to make matters worse, the signature at the bottom was misspelled.

Principal Harriet:
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?! 😱

Mako:
You've gotta be kidding me... BOTH schools are selected?! 🤯

Kay:
WHO THE HELL SPELLS THEIR OWN NAME WRONG?! 😂

Akia:
Wait, wait, wait. So it's like this because someone didn't spell the signature right?! How does that even happen?!

Aoto, still holding the document in his hands, could only sigh.

Aoto:
I have no idea. I think someone at the office back on Earth messed it up. But yeah... apparently both schools are selected. And the signature? It's supposed to be my dad's, but they spelled our last name wrong. The whole thing's a mess. 😅

The chat blew up with laughter, memes, and a mix of anger and disbelief. CherryWood Academy was losing its mind over the bizarre nature of the situation.

Principal Harriet, however, was not laughing.

Principal Harriet:
HOW does this even happen?! I swear, we're going to get this sorted out, Aoto. But right now, you're in a dangerous spot. We need that fixed—ASAP. 😡

Rika, trying to lighten the mood, sent a meme of a burning document with the caption:
"When you misspell your own name and accidentally apply to two schools."

Tech Nerd 1:
We gotta get this cleared up, man. This is a ticking time bomb.

Aoto, sensing the urgency, replied quickly.

Aoto:
So, what do we do? I mean, it's not like I can just pop back to Earth and fix this. 😩

Principal Harriet:
Leave it to me. I've got some contacts back on Earth. I'll get in touch with them and see if we can sort out the official copy. In the meantime, destroy that damn thing you're holding! 🔥

Kay:
Yeah, Aoto! Burn it! That's bad luck waiting to happen. 🔥🗑️

Aoto:
Can I just shred it? I don't want to set my apartment on fire. 😅

Akia:
Shredding works! Just get rid of it, fast!

Feeling the pressure from everyone in the chat, Aoto grabbed a pair of scissors and began cutting the document into tiny pieces. He took a photo of the shredded remains and sent it to the chat for good measure.

Aoto:
It's gone. No more messed-up transcripts. ✂️🗑️

The chat erupted in cheers and relieved emojis.

Mako:
Woo! Crisis averted... for now! 🍩🎉

Principal Harriet:
Good work, Aoto. Now, I'll work on getting your official transcripts sorted out with my contacts on Earth. We'll fix this mess once and for all. 🔥💪

Aoto, feeling a sense of relief now that the cursed document was gone, leaned back on his couch, but he knew the battle wasn't over yet. Principal Harriet had a lot of work ahead of her to secure his place at CherryWood Academy, but at least for the moment, they had avoided a complete disaster.

The chat slowly calmed down, but the students and staff of CherryWood remained on high alert, knowing that Saint Queen's Academy would try anything to get their hands on Aoto if they could.

As for Aoto, he couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of the situation. "Only at CherryWood could something like this happen..." he muttered to himself.
