Teen friendships

11. Farewell party

Steffie said. "Okay guys, so no more suspense. Let's go upstairs and check what is that 'thing' that is waiting for you, Lian." Everybody was thrilled. Steffie led us the way towards the room. As per the plan, It was my turn to say something after we reached the room. 

"I would like Mr Lian Brown to kindly open the door and give a suitable expression after seeing the room. " I said. The suitable expression was meant to be the feeling of how he felt after looking at the decorations.

He opened the door and stood still. He didn't even go inside and "OH MY GOD" was his expression. He slowly stepped inside and looked around. We were still on the door. 

"Everything is so beautiful. It has softened my heart. Thank you so much guys. You truly are great friends." He was so happy that he actually couldn't express his feelings. A tear dropped from his eyes.

"What's there to cry in that?" Steffie asked, and she went and wiped his tears with her thumb.

I wonder if they both were really best friends or more than that. Because I never saw Lian so close with any other girl. Besides, no girl dares to come near him as they know that he would insult for speaking out of topic, like the way he does to Wensha. 

Their friendship seemed to be truly deep. I was actually getting jealous by looking at them. But what else could I do also? My time will also come when I too will have someone who would care for me.

After she wiped his tears, they invited me and Lian's friend to come inside. All this while I was just standing out and watching the romantic drama. 

As I was proceeding to go inside, Lian's friend suddenly put in his feet first. I was so annoyed that I felt like slapping him. This was really an awkward scene. At the entrance of the café, he allowed me to come in first, but now he is trying to get in first. I thought he knew the rule 'Ladies first' and he actually didn't care about it.

Since I had raised my foot to step in and at the same time he raised his too, both our feet bumped to each other. He started looking at me and I started looking at him. In this while, he quickly made his approach inside and I stood there thinking what did just happen. In a breath, I too went inside. 

"Hey Ano, thanks for this big poster. I really liked it." Lian said in jolly. We sat down around the table on all four sides. I was opposite Lian's friend. OH MY! How long will his name be a mystery for me?

The waiter came with four glasses of orange juice and pizza. Wow! Yummy! Steffie had made those arrangements too. I was gleeful. They all took their forks and knives and starting making the pieces. On the other hand, I was cutting the pizza and eating at the same time. But hopefully, they didn't take the notice of me. Lian started to introduce his friend. Finally, I got to know his name. He was Mr Jonathan Davis, Lian's friend's brother.

He was also a football player, but he doesn't play inter-state because of his studies. He chose his career in science as he wants to be a doctor. What a great dream he has. He too was from a rich family. I could make out through his dressing style. And he 'Talks less, does more' kind of person. He believes that 'Actions speak louder than words.' Lian said that he was kind and polite. He respects everyone. But I was doubtful. If he was respectful, why didn't he let me come inside first when our feet banged? Lian was introducing him in such a way as if he is the only boy who is perfect in this world. But I was getting impressed too side by side.

I and Steffie were busy eating pizza while Lian was acquainting about Jonathan. I took the glass of juice in my hand, meanwhile, Lian said to him, "And meet her, she is Steffie and the girl with spectacles is Anora." When he said my name, I don't know how, but the glass from my hand fell on the table, and as Jonathan was right in the opposite, few drops dripped on him too.
