Sue: The Power of 555

An innocuous thing which Sue had the privilege of using:



Remember the small 555 Notebooks??
Never has so much power been wielded by so small an object. A pretty harmless one at that!
To most school gals in SAC then, the sight of the good ol' 555 being whipped out from a prefect's pocket was nothing to rejoice at. It just meant that an offence was being recorded and possible detention class if it was the 'third strike'.

I was a prefect and had booked many SAC girls in my four years there. Not that I was trigger happy or anything. But teenagers do get angsty and anti-establishment sometimes. So, we prefects were never short of 'victims'.

As they said in the Spidey movie, "With great power comes great responsibility". So, I took my prefect responsibilities seriously. But oh, how I struggled between friendship and justice whenever one of my buddies got caught committing an offence and I had to book them.
Luckily, true friends understood and were able to forgive and forget.
And these are the friends that to this day, remain giving and warm in their friendship.
