Lunch break came, and Dennis, Jason, and Kimberly went to pick up Daisy at her classroom. Dennis turned to look at Jason and Kimberly.
"Um... why are you guys coming along?" Dennis asked.
"Moral support," Jason answered casually while patting Dennis on the back.
"Yep, exactly—just in case the conversation goes south," Kimberly added.
When they arrived at Daisy's classroom, Dennis saw her coming out with Gary and Olivia. Then they all walked toward the stairs to head up, with Dennis and Daisy leading the way. Dennis looked back at Gary and Olivia.
"You guys... are coming too?" Dennis asked, confused.
"Of course, man. We're ready to help if anything goes wrong," Gary answered.
"There's no way we're just sitting this out. Don't mind us; we're just staying ready, that's all," Olivia added, waving her hand dismissively.
"Thanks, everyone," Daisy said, looking back with a smile.
"Don't mention it. You're my friend, Daisy," Kimberly said.
"Yep... just relax," Jason added.
