Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

Percy and Luke were crouched outside the window, with their forearms taking the brunt of their weight. Once the coast was clear, they clambered back inside. Luke let out a frustrated grunt, "Damn it, is Lena actually worried about Josefina, or is she just trying to mess with her?"

Percy urged him, "Let's get a move on. We don't want to tarnish Josie's good name."

With a wry smile, Luke said, "Boss, congrats on topping the charts. I've got a little something for you. It's on the dresser over there, the pink box - that's from me." Percy chimed in, "Josie, I didn't come empty-handed either. That blue box, that's my gift to you."

"You're both too kind," she replied.

Percy said, "You aced it, Josie. A celebration is definitely in order."

Luke chimed in with a grin, "Percy's right, boss. You did us proud with those grades!"

Josie couldn't help but laugh at their antics and hurried them out the window they had entered.
