The trio of the neighbourhood, Natalie, Emily and Yastika have been living a pretty average life. Despite having everything they could imagine, something felt always missing. A love life.
However, things are bound to change every once in a while and...
(DISCLAIMER: This chapter is kinda like an 'inbetween'. It's not that important, feel free to skip if you want)
Small flames erupted from the bottom of the heat element. A pot of soup started to form. Slow humming arose, air blew through the water stained windows.
The soft tap of her fingers swiped against her phone.
*New snap from Alex* The notification seemed to send a small shock of happiness to her for no actual reason. *opened snap*:

(No this is not a fanfic about this guy, his expression was just how I imagined it 💀✋)
Wasn't expecting that at all. "It's Harry's birthday, today?" Emily let out a raspy tone.
Yastika continued to stir her food in the pot. "Bought him a present already" she said.
"*cough* I didn't even know" her hand reached out to grab a napkin.
The squeaky noise of someone sliding their hand down the stair rail, grew louder every inch, "Bye, Natalie!" He called. Yastika and Emily stared at him blankly.
"Karl-?"
"Since when did you get access to our house?"
Karl cleared his throat "Natalie let me in.. she didn't tell you?"
Yastika has that what-the-hell-is-this face on "Who cares if SHE DID OR DIDN'T TELL ME, YOU WERE HERE OVER NIGHT?? (Don't get the wrong idea-) How did I not notice you'?" A sudden realisation hit her "Actually-Emily, you failed to warn me that there was a guy in our damn house?" Em shrugged "I mean he wasn't doing anything."
"Gosh, I could kill you right now."
"One could wish" A posh-y tone responded.
*Harry posted on their story*

The tension between the two girls broke, "Walmart minion, lmao" Karl snickered. Bad idea-The attention was brought back to him as he said that. "WAIT, WHAT WERE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE?!" Yastika threw her hands around the air dramatically with the pot of food boiling up like her confusion. His firm grip clenched the chair and helped himself with a seat "Board games. She accidentally fell asleep on my arm" he chuckled "probably because I was taking to long to place my cards down." His pupils rose to the top corner of his eye, he's clearly thinking about what happened.
The car roared, keys jangled and hands firmly gripped on the leather steering wheel. 2:30 pm.
Wake up the members of my nation-
*click*
some times all I think about is you-
*click*
and I hate to tell you this on your birthday..- *click*
"FOR GOSH SAKE- PICK A SONG AND LISTEN." Yastika's hand angrily slammed on the car horn. A few people swivelled their heads over.
"my bad" Karl peeped, he was aware that she was still a-bit pissed but decided to let his foot tap away. The music drifted off for each car they passed.
"Quick, he's gonna come over at 4:40-." All 4 of them rushed in while trying not to make it look like a raid. Party streamers, banners, confetti, basically everything for a nostalgic children's party. Natalie looked over the party hats
"red?blue?red?blue?green.wait.blue?how about red?no blue.."
Karl stared through the wonky mirror watching his reflection swirl. Not to mention, he was trying on all the clown suits.
Confetti poppers crumbled down on the cashiers counter. There were a good 8 of them.
"Got the banners, LET'S GO." Yastika exclaimed. "Y'all owe me." She stirred.
The eruption of the door handle grew louder and the door slid open. HAPPY BIRTHDAY they all shout. Confetti bursted out pathetically while rushed birthday balloons floated to the roof. The silence was real. "Wow, um. Thank you!" Harry said surprisingly, I was definitely not expecting this much. His eyes darted around the room with a nervous aura. "Let's cut the cake..!"
A few board games were played out. Scores: Harry: 2 wins Alex (who came late): 3 wins but he cheated so they disqualified him Karl: 1 win Emily: 1 win Yastika: 3 wins Natalie: 2 wins
6: 57 pm The sun soaked into the lands leading chirping birds back to their nest. "Thanks again guys, I really thought you'd forget" Harry said. He shot a look at Alex. Yastika gleefully have a reassuring smile "we would never!". "We're all you're friends". Each one of them swung their arms over another's neck and swivelled their heads around at each other's expressions. Nothing but bubbly cheeks and preparation kites.
