The kindergarten teacher was startled by Luna’s sudden reaction. She froze for a moment before she slowly pointed in the direction of the nurse’s office. “ Nellie got injured just now, and Neil is currently with her at the nurse’s office.“
As soon as she finished her sentence, Joshua immediately stomped off in the direction the teacher had pointed. Luna had no choice but to trail along behind him. The two adults stormed into the nurse’s office in a flurry of panic.
Inside the nurse’s office, Neil asked, “Which flavor do you like more: original or garlic?“ He was perched on the examination bed as he munched on a chicken drumstick.
“They’re both yummy! “ replied Nellie with her mouth full. She was clutching another chicken drumstick in her hand.
“Alright, then let’s sneak out to order some more tomorrow,“ beamed Neil. He reached out an oily hand to pinch Nellie’s cheek. “Tomorrow, we’ll pretend that I got hurt, and you can accompany me to the nurse’s office again.“
“Okay! “ Nellie nodded in enthusiasm. She paused for a moment as if suddenly recalling something. “Neil, Mommy never lets us eat fried chicken. She says it’s junk food. Today is the first time I’ve ever had junk food, and it’s the yummiest thing I’ve ever eaten! “ she exclaimed.
Neil raised his eyebrows in agreement. “I agree, it’s delicious! Nigel did say that fried chicken isn’t healthy, though, so we can’t have too much of it.“ After he finished his sentence, Neil immediately lifted the necklace he was wearing and spoke into it, “Isn’t that right, Nigel?“
Nigel’s stern voice came from the necklace, “ Mommy’s here.“
Neil’s eyes widened upon hearing this. He immediately hopped off the bed and hid the fried chicken. “Quick, Nellie! Pretend like you’re sick! “
Slam!
The door to the nurse’s office slammed open just as Nellie climbed onto the bed.
