7:00am
October 5

I stand by the door, one hand holding gifts and the other hand holding Jordan's hand.

"Did you try and ring the bell?"

"Shh", I look down at Jordan. "I'm gonna text one of the girls."

I fish for my phone and open Reyna's contact when the door opens.

It was Gabriella.

She looks at me and Jordan, and then the gifts in my hand. "She's door 3."

I nod as she lets me inside. The place was a little dark since it was 7:00 am.

Gabriella looked a little sad. Everyone knows her reputation got ruined, and will leave the moment the mission is over. I still couldn't help but feel bad. She belongs to this mafia.

I sigh, ridding bad thoughts away and stopping at door 3.  I look down at Jordan and whisper. "On the count of 3. 1, 2, 3-"

Jordan barges the door open and we scream "Surprise!"

Nina jumps in her bed, almost reaching for the gun when her eyes land on Jordan. Then me.

Damn, her eyes move fast for just waking up.

"Kiiara?", her sleepy voice says.

Jordan starts singing. "Happy Birthday to youu, Happy Birthday to youu."

Nina gives me a smile as I place flowers, chocolate, and a gift bag on her nightstand.
"...dear Ninaa, happy birthday to you."

Nina grabs Jordan and gives him a hug, ruffling his hair and giving him kisses. "Thanks buddy. Did Kiki put you up to this?"

Jordan shrugs. "Yeah but I wanted to do it on my own."

"Well that means a lot to me." Nina looks at me.

"Happy Birhtday, bitch", I dip down to her bed and give her a hug. "Finally..nineteen?"

She nods. "I'm gonna be in my 20's next year. Ew."

I laugh. "Don't tell Francesco that. He's already 20."

She looks at the gifts. "You did not have to get me anything."

"Bullshit. You've been my best friend since I came here. Despite, Gabriel of course. You helped me a lot when I was shy and confused and I can't thank you enough."

Nina humbly rolls her eyes. "All I did was save you from Gabriella."

"How is she, by the way? I saw her when I came inside."

Nina grabs some water and shrugs. "She's up early and comes late at night. She knows all three of us are a little mad at her and keeps her distance. She mostly stays in her room if she is not out."

I look down to the floor, feeling even more bad.

"No sulking its my birthday bitch! We are gonna turn up. I have plans for tonight."

I smile. "What kind?"

"Well after training you and I can get crepes at the cafe. I have to run some things with Nile and Luca later today but after that you and I are gonna head to that club and get some drinksss. I'm inviting all of Level 5 and 6 to the club. We all can party and hang out-"

"You sure Nile will allow that? With the mission and all?"

She nods. "He said it's fine as long as none of us gets drunk. Which I wasn't planning on anyway. I'm also getting another tattoo."
