2 months pass by in the blink of an eye, the flip of a chapter, the crunch of a crisp. Ever since running away from somethingorother, you've become a lot more happy.

Everyday is similar, but is never boring. There's always some new drama, some kind of new (albeit annoying) song to sing, something to both brighten and ruin your day.

One day, Tony comes up to you and tells you, "It's Paige's birthday tomorrow. Don't say anything, but we're throwing a little party for her. Don't tell her though, she always insists she doesn't need a big celebration." Then he ran off, sneaking like a really bad James Bond.

Well, that's one way to tell you.

The one thing you hope is that Steve and Kat aren't making the cake, otherwise you'll be eating aspic cake, and trust me. It's not good.

With a sigh, you go into the living room, and see Harry watching some Tv show. You sit next to him. Without looking at you, he says
"Hi"

"Hi" you answer. "Did you hear we're throwing a birthday party for Paige tomorrow?"

" We're doing what for Paige tomorrow?!"

"Nobody told you?"

"No!"

You sit in silence for a few seconds.
"Let's be honest, Tony probably planned it to get into her good books"

"what do you mean?" You ask

"He's loved her since he layed eyes
on her. They're always flirting with each other, haven't you seen?"

You tell him you haven't, because you're oblivious as hell.

"Well, they always are. I always sit in suspense that they're about to kiss or something."

You think, before laughing. "I suppose they do... yeah, they fucking flirt all the time."

He laughs. His laugh was incredible; it contrasted his usual monotonous exterior, and some kind of genuine emotion flooded his eyes.

He stops laughing, returning his attention back to the television, and that's the end of that.
