Chapter 31: Birthday wishes

Idgaf that this is a short ass chapter. I don't know how to write birthdays and shit like that.

Sincerest apologies
-Ash

It's Hana's birthday. She's finally eighteen.

At least she's an adult now. I guess. Minho forbade me from going out with her alone, but it's not like I'm actually gonna listen to him.

Hana and I haven't spoken since well Christmas, which was two days ago and also strange for us. I guess seeing me, her friend, and Minho, her brother, who used to 'hate' each other kissing was a little strange for her.

We all burst into her bedroom after Teresa let us in, and she almost fell off of her bed. After singing happy birthday to her and Teresa throwing a pillow at her head to wake her up, she opened the gifts and blew out the candles.

That was probably one of the most awkward silences ever. The first gift she opened was from me and it was a small ballerina on a stand and if you turned it on it would like play music and turn. Minho, even after yelling at me for taking her to a bar, got her a 20ml bottle of tequila.

I raised my eyebrow at him and he just shrugged his shoulders. I don't understand that boy. After opening the rest of her gifts and all of us eating cake for breakfast

A few minutes later we- I mean they went swimming. I just sat by one of the sun beds again. Minho, Aris and Thomas were dragging Newt deeper into the pool and the boy looked like he was struggling. Sonya and Harriet went to the sauna. Teresa, Brenda and Hana were sitting next to me, gossiping about something.

"Hey, where'd Sonya and Harriet go?" Newt asked when he finally escaped from their grip and slowly but surely swam to the end of the pool.

"The sauna," Teresa responded. "They've been there since we arrived at the pool."

"You think they're still there?" He asked.

"I don't know," She mumbled, going back to talking with whatever she was with Hana and Brenda.

"I'll go look for them with you if you want," I said.

"You sure?" Newt asked.

"Why not?"

"Alright." He got out of the pool and grabbed his towel. "Let's go." We walked for a few minutes and went to the sauna. It was on but we couldn't hear people. We knocked but nothing happened so we opened the door and to our surprise... There was no one in there.

"That's... weird. Where do you think they are?" Newt asked.

"Don't know. But now that I've got you away from your boyfriend, when are you gonna realize that everyone already knows you're dating so you don't really have to try and hide it," I said.

"Funny. Minho said the same the other day," Newt said in a monotone tone.

"Great minds think alike."

"More like stupid minds," He mumbled.

"Excuse you?" I asked.

"Thomas and I are named after the smart people. You and Minho aren't," He joked.

"Yeah, and you and Thomas's brains are so big," I said.

'Bigger than you'll ever be' is what I wanna say, but I don't all I do is snort.

"What?" He asked.

"Nothing."

"Let's just go find them and then I can push you back in the pool," I said.

"What?"

"Nothing. Come on, let's go."
