The Music We Play Is A Story

57: Birthday Princess or Birthdayzilla?

Talk about a bridezilla, Kazu's birthday rolled around, and she was practically pulling her hair out over it, she had a planned Limo ride, Fancy restaurant, and then the skating rink and after it all would be an after party at Kazu's place where they're watch movies on an inflatable projector. Not to mention the school year was ending, her birthday, the last day of school was supposed to start the summer celebration from all of her friends so the bar for it was so high.

It's the last week of school at this point, Kazu's stressed over her grades because final exams happened. If you had a high enough grade you could exempt the exams, and skip school on exam days, however the amount of exemptions you get varies depending on the grade you're in, Kazu was able to exempt all her classes but one so she chose her easiest class which was physics. What made this bridezilla/birthdayzilla worse was that the exam she was taking landed ON her birthday, rather than the other exams which we days before. Her birthday party landed the day after her birthday, which was also the last day of school, some of her friends weren't as focus on school and ended up having to take every exam but she was considered lucky to only have one.

The class she had to take an exam for she had with Niki, Marco, Sami, Scythe and Fifi. Extremely awkward group of people being that Fifi used to like Marco, Kazu used to be with Marco, Fifi had a talking stage for months with Scythe, Niki dated Scythe for a little bit as well and Sami being the friend they often vented too she was in the middle of all the tension in that class.

It was the last day of school before exam days started and they were in class, before it started Kazu was yelling on the phone to her driver about needing the Limo to carry all of her friends and where they'd be going on top of that the restaurant she planned on going too couldn't staff the party. She was irritated and sat down as it started. Marco, Fifi, and Niki looked at Kazu from the table next to them where she sat next to Scythe and Sami. She had her head down most of that class, she always did but somehow did good Marco and Niki had the same idea and went up to her after the class to check on her, Niki gave Marco a suspicious side eye, "Going to check on your stressed out ex is a little friendly" Niki thought to herself, hinting she thought something was going on between the two, Kazu looked at them both and assured the two that she was fine.

Kazu didn't say too much before getting up and leaving after school since it was their half day.
Niki looked at Marco, "Hey can we talk?" she asked him, "Sure why not?" he replied.
"It's just that I haven't said much too you since you came back home, I miss when we were close, y'know? The tension was awkward when you left because of the break up, but I'd really like to have my bestfriend back if you'd be up for it?" Niki asked.
"Of course, you're still a friend to me even if we didn't talk much at the time" Marco replied.
Niki smiled and thanked him as she walked to her car, soon after Fifi was leaving the school and Marco saw her as he was heading to his car he had the same idea Niki did but to Fifi, "Fi, you got a second?" Marco asked her, "Uh, sure." Fifi said back to him,
"I just wanted to apologize, I know in the past I haven't been fair to you or the nicest to you so I'm sorry and I wanna move on from it" he said to Fifi, "I forgive you and I'm sorry too, and yeah we can move on from it" Fifi replied. The two talked for a little bit then they both went home to study for exams, or do whatever it is they do after school.
