I remember snippets of stories that have very little to do with the main plot, but it bothers me that I can't place the story.
The mc is graduating early and was assured there was no problem. The counselor or principle interfered with getting the diploma so the mc would get the state to pay for some college courses. The mc and his girlfriends wanted to graduate together, but he received a blank "diploma" and started to freek out. He was given the option earlier to delay the graduation but decided to pay the money and graduate. The adult "knew better" and "tried to help".
At first I thought it was a do-over but I am not sure any more.
