Ever sits on her bed as she holds her book in her hand. Suddenly, her door opens as she rolls her eyes. "Mom, for the millionth time, I dont care about the president," she says before looking up to see it's Jackie.

"Oh sorry. I thought you were my mom," she says with a smile. "It's fine. I bought you something," Jackie says before sitting down on Ever's bed. "I had an old essay I did a while back. It's the same essay you're writing right now," Jackie explains taking the essay out of her bag.

"Thanks. This is really sweet, Jackie," Ever says smiling at the girl. "Here take this stuffed animal as a thank you," Ever says handing Jackie the frog stuffed animal. "It's my favorite," Ever adds.

"You don't have to," Jackie says as Ever shakes her head. "No, I insist. I'm giving my favorite stuffed animal to my favorite girl," Ever explains. "Thanks," Jackie says getting up. "How about you hang out with me while I do this?" Ever suggests before Jackie sits back down.

"I'd love that," she says before Ever pats down the spot next to her as Jackie lays down on the bed.
