Finding Us

17

Sage giggled when Nash hugged her while peppering kisses on her head. Florie took the picture while Rhett and Indigo smiled, looking at them. "Nash, cannot breathe."

"What should I do with you, baby? My sweetie is now 18!" Nash said in a southern accent which made everyone roll their eyes while Tariq smiled in amusement. "You are being stupid," Florie commented. Nash ignored everyone and looked at Sage. "It's going to be the best birthday party."

"Yes!" Sage said. "We are going to party till five in the morning."

"Yeah... That's the spirit. It's your 18th birthday and we aren't allowing anyone to leave this property until it's five in the morning."

"Come on, baby girl. Let's cut the cake before the party starts," Rhett said. Sage was going to receive many birthday cakes but she wanted to have some private cake-cutting with her best friends. The theme of the party is spring as she is a spring baby.

Rhett, Indigo and Florie decorated the whole living room corner with flowers and tables with a spring theme as Sage's birthday present. Sage absolutely adored their effort and shed some tears when she was how beautiful it is.

Sage wore a short white dress with an open back. She kept her makeup simple and left her long hair open. Florie and Indigo wore green floral dresses while Aria wore a black floral dress. The dress code for everyone is spring colour, which isn't white. As the birthday girl wore white.

"Awe, such a beautiful cake. I love this...." Sage was awed looking at the sunflower-themed cake.

The party is on fire as the student body filled the whole mansion. Tariq looked around, finding everyone from the school. The swimming pool is filled with girls and boys. He also found seniors with their dates, but that doesn't matter though. His gaze went to the dance floor where Aria was dancing with her girls.

"Tariq, enjoying the party?" Nash asked. Tariq nodded as he sipped his beer. "Didn't know it would be packed," Nash chuckled. "The birthday parties here go wild and it's Sage's birthday. This big crowd is expected.

Tariq raised his brow, "are you saying this is the expected crowd, not the original crowd?"

"No shit, it gets wild, as I said to you, the college seniors and juniors show up with their friends. It gets really crowded and wild." Nash watched everyone. "Sage knows everyone and everyone knows everyone."

Tariq nodded his head. "That makes sense."

Cyrus glanced at Gideon who was typing on his phone as Camden drove the car. "Are you sure bro? Sage didn't send you the birthday invitation. She would be throwing glares if she saw you."

Camden chuckled. "Uh-Ah. Do you really think Sage got time to glance at Gideon or find him? She would be fucking busy with everyone and getting wasted. She's the birthday girl and the whole place would be occupied, for her to find Gideon."

Gideon sighed and didn't give a fuck to give a reply. He had never attended Sage's birthday before and this was the first time he had decided to go, as Sage personally invited him to the party last night.

Not that Cyrus and Camden have to know about that. Ten minutes and they would be reaching the party. He wore a white button-up shirt with its first three buttons open, showing his tan skin. His hair is wild but he doesn't care as he is going to the party to see the birthday girl.

"And fuck, man decided to wear white knowing that he isn't allowed to wear white." Cyrus joked. A smirk started playing on Gideon's face. Cyrus and Camden wore blue. "That's the point, it would be easy for Sage to find me in the sea full of people."
