Liza P.O.V
It has been 6 years that Andrew grew up to be a great child. He was a first-grader in a school in Oakland. He was nice to everyone and to his classmates. Even if he get bullied, he still don't fight them. He is also a nice and polite child to me and Enriquez and also to other people. He also studied hard in his school to get good grades. He is the top 1 in the class. Everyone likes him, "Andrew, would you like to have a tablet?" I questioned to him. He answered, "Mommy, I don't want to have a tablet yet. I'm still young to to have those." I was surprised with his answer. Other children liked to have a tablet at this age but he still doesn't want to have one yet. Andrew is a smart and lovable kid. Enriquez would like to have this kind of child. Enriquez like Andrew for Andrew's personality. Andrew, your a one of a kind child.
This is the first time that Andrew speak. And this is the last time in this book. But don't worry 😉, he will have a lot of speaking in the next book.
Andrew P.O.V
Mommy and Daddy is always proud of me. It's because I study hard. Maybe Mommy thinks that everyone liked me but not. The only person that doesn't like me is Harry. He doesn't like me for a little bit. I tried to make him happy but he still doesn't like me. I'm gonna make him like me. The next day, it was another day in the school. Mommy and Daddy brought me in school and Mommy said, "Good luck, Andrew!!" "Thanks Mommy!!" I replied. I went to our room and the class started. While we're in class, I saw Harry grumpy and mean to us. Lunchtime and I spoke to Harry, "Harry, what's the problem?" "Get away from me!!" He shouted and pushed me. The push was so hard that I fell down. I stood up and said to him, "Harry, I'm always here for you," and I left. Class started again and Harry still looks grumpy. Before we dismiss in class, Mam Casey Green told us an important thing, "Ok class. Before we dismiss, you class will have a partner project. The project is that you will make a book of yourselves with your picture. One page for your pictures and another page for your other teammate. I'm gonna group you into 2 because you're only 10," then she grouped us. After a few minutes, Mam Casey told the last partners, "Andrew. You will be partnered by Harry." Me and my other classmates were shocked that my partner was Harry. "Ok class. The deadline will be at July 20, 2027," she said. Then we left and I went to Harry and said to him, "If you don't want to be my partner, then I will tell to teacher that we will do a solo." He disagrees, "No. We'll be partners," he said. The next day, it was Saturday. I asked Daddy if I can go to Harry's house. "Daddy, would I come to Harry's house? We have a partner project so I will go to his house. He said that he has the equipment so I'm gonna help him to finish it," then Daddy nods. Me and Daddy went in to the car and drove me to Harry's house. When we arrived, I went down in the car and say good bye to Daddy. I went in the gate and Harry's parents welcomed me. I went in the house and saw how beautiful it is. "Your house is so beautiful, Harry," I said to Harry. He smiled. This is the first time I see Harry smiled. We went into his room and his mother gave us the equipments that we need to use. We now started to do our project. "I already gathered pictures of you and me," I said to Harry. "How did you that so fast!" Harry almost screamed. "I told Mommy to gather pictures so she did it at night," I replied. After a few minutes, we finished our project. We were tired and wanna lay down in Harry's bed. His mother gave us cookies and two orange juices. Me and Harry thanked Harry's mother. Afternoon time and Daddy picked me up. "Good bye Harry!!" I shouted. He smiled again. At the car, Daddy asked me, "How was at Harry's?" Then I said, "I thought that he was a grumpy and mean kid, but I was wrong. He was a nice person." Then Daddy told me, "Sometimes Andrew, a person is always wearing a mask," "Why does a mask have to do with a person?" I asked. "A mask is a face right?" Daddy answered. I nod. "Behind that mask is your real face. Everyone wears a mask. You're only afraid to show it because you don't want to hurt yourself or other people," Daddy replied. Now I get it, Harry wears an angry mask but his real personality is a nice person. When we arrived at home, I ran to Mommy and she kissed me, "How was your day son?" She asked. "It's fine, Mommy," I answered. Monday, the deadline of the project, Daddy drove me to school and I waved him good bye. I saw Harry brought our project. Class starts and we passed our project. "This is amazing, Andrew and Harry!!" Our teacher said. Everyone was shocked at what they saw. "What??" I asked them, "Nothing," My friend Danny answered. "I'll give your grades tomorrow," Our teacher told us. At the end of the school day, I thanked Harry, "Thanks for everything, Harry," then he smiled again. Everyone was shocked again. Daddy picked me up and we went back home. This day is the happiest day ever. Nighttime and I told to Daddy and Mommy, "Daddy. Mommy. Thanks for helping me in my project. Because of you, Harry wouldn't be my best friend," "No problem son!" Mommy replied. "Look Mommy!! There's falling comets!!" I said. "Let's count them, son," Daddy replied. Then me, Mommy, and Daddy counted the comets. 1,2,3,4,5........
