Point of view based on the passage: I couldn’t help but think something was going on. Beth was acting strange, making weird excuses why I needed to be out of the house. She had me run to the store for scissors. I knew we had scissors. When I returned, I had the biggest surprise of my life! All of my friends and family were in my house yelling “Surprise!” and “Happy birthday!”
