Avery's POV: October 17, 2011
"Happiest birthday, Ave!", All of my friends came together along greeting me as I was still working with Lando on the café.
For my birthday celebration, I planned out the venue to be at the café where I work for ages. Even the owners and my colleagues earlier blessed me with a celebration and even gave me a huge amount of cake.
I also invited my friends especially their girlfriends, Bridgette on the other hand was being long-distanced with Jamie, and Abigail on the other hand was rooting out for Shaquille to talk to her. If only my family in Arlington and Alex and his friends were here in LA, I'd invite them here. Charles and Ashley are officially dating. As a friend, I'm happy to see Charles being happy once again with Ashley.
After Oscar led the prayer, all of them sang together a choruses of "happy birthday to you, Avery", as Abigail was already carrying the cake while in the middle of singing;
I was about to blow the cake but Abigail suddenly interrupted first, "Make a wish", was all she said.
"Okay, since I'm already feeling twenty-two right now, my wish for this year is to have a fruitful life and to prioritize my studies in the first place, the version of my love life will be in the last place", I blown the cake and all of them cheered.
"Happiest birthday, Avery!!", Perry said as he blown the party horn.
"Aww", I chuckled.
"Let's eat!", Bryce exclaimed as all of them cheered along and sat along to the huge banquettes I reserved for them.
Lando, Liam, and I were the ones who prepared the food for all of us this dinner. Liam told us he's been seeing this girl who frequently visits this café, I was gonna invite her but Liam told me she was busy on work.
As we all sat on the banquette, I didn't expect that I would be given such gifts by my friends. Bridgette and Abigail gave me a penguin plushie, Charles and Ashley gifted me a Victoria's Secret perfume, Perry and Gemma handed me another rock n roll t-shirt, The Strokes one, Miguel and Heidi gave me bouquets of sunflowers (since sunflower is one my favorite flowers), Pierre and Kika literally gave me the book that I have been wanting since, The Viscount Who Loved Me by Julia Quinn;
"Oh my God, I told you I can buy this one", t'was unbelievable that one of my friends would buy me the Bridgerton book I have been dying to read of.
"It's your special day, Avery", Kika said with a warm smile.
The gift giving continued, Dani and Lance gave me bracelets and chocolates, Logan, Miguel, George, Lando, Oscar, Bryce, gave me collections of bucket hats, Oh God, most of them were floral except for Miguel's and Lando's (the bucket hats were Chili and Papaya), Albon and Lily also known as Muni gave me an another rock n roll shirt, it was the band I've been listening to, The Ramones. Nyck and Max ended up giving me cowgirl hats. Yuki and Zhao gave me an anime labeled shirts from my favorite films, Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro . Mick gave me an expensive German chocolate called Ritter Sport . I highly appreciated their gifts even though I didn't ask any of it, but I'm contented at the same time.
"Thank you so much, everyone for these highly appreciated gifts!", I said as it was too heavy loaded in my arms and made my way to the counter to place them gently on my backpack (well, except for the bouquet of flowers and stuffed toys).
I was about to make my way to my friends but suddenly, my phone rang, it was Ben;
"Happiest birthday my little sister!", Ben exclaimed through the phone. The background was, the whole family was celebrating my birthday on our owned ranch. Oh how I missed it dearly.
