October is the birth month of my dearest best friend, Faith.
Now that she will be turning seventeen we are preparing a small celebration for her that we work hard to keep as a secret.
Time flies and it's already October, just two more months and we will face another new year once more. I still remember how Faith and I became friends, we were classmates in elementary and got close to each other due to our love of Kpop. She was a great dancer back then and still today, she's always participating in the school's activity whenever it focuses on art and dancing. She also had the chance to perform in front of the whole school dancing Wellness.
(AN: Wellness is a dance routine that is supposed to be good for your body and we have danced to that song till high school)
"We should add more purple" it was Faith's favorite color.
We're currently at Pandayan bookstore wandering around as we look for handmade gifts that we could present to her. We have balloons and hanging decors in our basket, one that Alyssa bought for her.
(AN: Pandayan bookstore is a store for school-related products although it's a bit pricy the quality is great)
"Is our money enough for pizza and cake?" Irish asked and I immediately replied with a positive nod.
We've been planning it since the day before and have already obtained money to buy food for tomorrow's celebration. We would just buy a small cake-like bread in a bakery since were just students ourselves, our money couldn't afford such a lavish celebration. Besides, the thought counts more than the price and grandeur of a birthday party.
"Look ange, it looks so much like you" Eric popped out of nowhere and pushed a teddy bear dolphin in front of me.
"I don't!"
"She doesn't, she looks more like this" what Meryl has in her hands is an airplane and I almost slap her with it but considered that it's much softer than my palm, I chose the latter. "Ow, that hurts!"
"It should because I wanted you to feel pain!" I gritted and laughed angrily watching her pout at me as if she wasn't the instigator of her current pain.
"Come on, don't bully my girlfriend"
Two of my friends who don't have their boyfriends with them could only glare at me in jealousy and anger before stomping their way to the other side of the store.
"Why are you here?" I didn't leave school with him since we have decided to buy the necessary things for Faith's birthday who is by the way having a fit over forgetting her after leaving her with her classmates.
"I missed you" he acted like a baby once more and I just pinch his nose for acting like a cute baby.
The original intention for making faith's birthday a success turned into a small date.
...
"Happy birthday!"
The puffed-up Faith who has a sour expression on her face has her eyes bulging out of her sockets. She must have thought that we forgot about her birthday since we've been ignoring her for the past hours and not even mentioning her birthday even though it has been pointed to us a couple of times from her.
"You- all of you truly wanted me to get angry!" All of us laughed and cuddled up to her, giving her the attention she so deserves.
"Happy birthday our beautiful faith!"
"I wish that you will have a boyfriend this year!" Meryl joked and she was soon glared at by Faith.
"Happy birthday faith!" Irish gave her the purple bag that we chose at pandayan yesterday.
"Aw, you guys! You're so sweet!" Then someone shouted group hugs and we immediately formed a circle and hugged each other.
Pictures were taken instantly, greetings poured out from her parents and neighbors, her smile began to look brighter and resembles the star.
Everything went well.
