I walks towards my kids, mingling with Holly's kids and some of the staff were keeping eyes on them while talking to each other. "Miss!" Travis and his best friend, Brandon run towards me.

"Hey, guys. Having fun?"

They nods excitedly. "You like my uncle, yet?" he asked. I knitted my brows at him and crouch so I'm on his eye level, "I'm not sure if I met him yet."

"Of course you did," he said, "He did saved you,"

I arched my brows at that and I was going to ask him more when a scream and crying started to be heard not far from here. I look over Travis' shoulder and saw Regina was fighting with one of Holly's kids. I gasped and quickly on my feet, breaking them from keep on pulling each other's hair. Well, more like Holly's kid is the one who's pulling Regina's hair. "Stop it, this instant!" I commanded and the girl let go of Regina's hair. Regina runs to me and hugged my waist, crying over my stomach. "What happen?" I asked her and look back at the other girl, "What happen?"

"She stole from me!" accused the girl.

"Reggie?" I stared at the sobbing little girl. She shook her head vigorously. I knew Regina. She's a very well-behaved girl and always have her discipline in check. That's why I chose her to be the class monitor. She would never steal from anybody. But I can't be bias her--

"What happen here?" I heard Holly jogs in her heels, towards us. The girl repeated the same thing to her and she fumed at Regina, "Well, just give her back whatever you stole from her. Problem solves"

"You can't just think Regina did it," I scowled at her.

She scoffs, "Are you saying that my student is lying?"

I open and close my mouth but nothing came out. "But it was Angie who stole the pin from Reggie!" Theresa cuts in, pointing at the girl.

"I am not! She did!" Angie fumed.

"You did!" Theresa fought back.

"Be quiet both of you!" Holly snapped.

"Theresa, please." I pulled her lightly and put her besides me. "Okay, give me the pin," I said and Regina put the pin on my palm. It was a small pin with Universal Studio of the Warner Bros logo printed on it. I crouched down and asked quietly, "Who gave you this?"

Regina sniff and turns to look at one of the crew guy. He was young, around 20s. But he was busy talking to his other crews. "I saw it on the ground-," her voice choked, "And I ask him if it belongs to him and then, he told me that I can have it." she explained. I sighs.

"Do... Do you believe me, miss?" her eyes brimmed with tears once more and I pulled her into a hugs. "I do,...Of course, I do" I whispered to her, rubbing her back. "I tell you what," I said, breaking the hugs. I look at her eyes, "Give this to Angie-" I saw a tinge of sadness in her eyes, but she took the pin from me and stared at it longingly. "-And I promise to get you a better pin, okay?" I told her, quietly. She stared at me with her eyes widened, "Really?"

I nods, "I promise." and she smiles. I stood up. Regina turns herself to face Angie and handed to pin over.Angie snatched it from her and runs towards her friend. Holly let out a frustrated sighs, "It would be much easier if she just admit it from the first place,"

I roll my eyes at Holly. "There's nothing to be admit," I stated. "The pin was belong to Reggie."

"Really? You can just say that to protect them," she crossed her arms over her chest.

I glared at her and was going to say something offensive but I decided it's better to just let things slide. We are representing the Sunny Side name here. "You know what, I don't care." I sighs and called out to my kids telling them to assemble. I was just about turn around when I feel a great force pushing me and caused me stumble on my feet, falling on my side. "Ow," I scraps my elbow in the process and looked up to Holly who smirks victoriously at me. I can't believe this witch. What is her problem?
