Nina's POV-

*Falyn & Pugg left. I wanted to stay with Andy because I wanted to be by his side. Karen, Andy, & I went to Ms. Doreen's apartment, & Karen knocked on the door. Ms. Doreen answered*

Doreen:"Oh hey! Isn't this a surprise!"

Karen:"I know."

Nina:"Hi Ms. Doreen."

Andy:"Hi. Um... this is for you."

Doreen:"Wow..."

Karen:"For all the homework stuff that you helped him with. Right?"

Andy:"Mm-hmm."

*I just smiled*

Doreen:"Tsk. Oh! Oh, yeah. Of course! Yeah. Always happy to help such a sweet boy."

Karen:"And Nina helped him with it actually, that's why she's here. Right Nina?"

*Ms. Doreen, Karen, & Andy look at me*

Nina:"Yes ma'am! It was really fun helping Andy make this wonderful, harmful gift for you Ms. Doreen."

*I emphasized the harmful part as I look at Andy & he gives me a ' you're not helping ' look. Sorry Andy, I'm trying my best*

Doreen:"Oh, is that right?"

Andy:"Totally."

*Ms. Doreen goes to grab the ' present ' from Andy's hands, but Andy holds onto it tighter*

Karen:"Give it to her."

*The ' present ' drops on the floor & scared me, making me jump a little*

Doreen:"Oh.*chuckles* Butterfingers over here."

*Ms. Doreen goes to pick up the ' present ' & holds it in her hands as Andy turns to me & gives me a look, I give the same look back to him & he turns back around*

Doreen:"Oh, it's heavy. I hope it's not fragile."

*She shakes the ' present ' as Andy & I get nervous*

Karen:"I just wanna know what it is. Open it."

Doreen:"Yeah."

*Ms. Doreen goes to open the ' present '*

Andy+Nina:"No!"

Andy:"No! Don't! Don't!"

*Ms. Doreen & Karen look at us like we were crazy*

Andy:"Um... My birthday is next week, & we can open it then. Together."

Nina:"Yeah, & I'll be there too. To watch you open it, because I helped make it."

*I smile*

Doreen:"Okay, that's a very strange & lovely thought. So, I'll just go put it on the shelf until then. Okay? Okay."

Andy+Nina:"Okay."

Doreen:"All right. Thank you."

Karen:"No problem."

Andy:"And, Doreen..."

Karen:"Bye."

Andy:"I..."

*Ms. Doreen closed the door & I mentally face palm*
