~Happy birthday to me, Happy birthday to me, Happy birthday, Happy birthday, Happy birthday to meeeee~ I sang while taking my shower. I'm so hyped. Messages flooding in. The notification is too loud so I set my phone to silent.
"Makeeee!" Zoe shouted.
"Yes why?" I replied. She opened the door
"Happiest birthday to you girl." Zoe greeted. I hugged her and said thanks.
"Sooo what's your plan?" She said. I shrugged.
"Oh. Have you got the reservation?" I asked. She looked confused. "Bar?" I added. She looked at me then said, "What bar? Oh wait. Oh my god. I forgot. I'm so sorry."
I don't know what to say. Gaaaah. My celebration is ---- "Hahahaha you should see your face." She is laughing so hard she clenched her stomach.
"I hate you Zoe!" I said and laughed with her. I looked at my phone and saw that there are no more messages coming so I turned on the sound again.
"So the interview is on the 20th." She started. I looked at her. "And?" I asked.
"And I want you to set your fangirling aside so they won't freak out." She stated.
"Zoe! No can do. But don't worry I won't freak them out." I laughed.
"Good. Because you know. It's hard when the interviewee is being freaked out." I nod at her statement.
"Yeah. I know. Let's go down." We went down and saw the fantastic 4. Zach, Joe, Caspar and Alfie.
"Hey." I sat beside Caspar. They looked at me.
"Happy birthday!" They said in unison.
"Thanks." I giggled. The doorbell rang.
"Maybe it's for you." Caspar said to me.
"What? I didn't order anything." I said.
"Just go." Caspar
"Fine." I said giving up. I went to see what was in the front door to see a big bouquet in front of me.

"Whoa. May I know to whom is this?" I asked the man.
"It's for Maire? Maire Caoimhe Daley?" Goodness. My name! It's ruined!
"That's me. And my name is pronounced as Mari Keeva." I corrected him.
"Sorry Ms. Daley." He bowed a little. "Here is the bouquet. And please sign here." I signed the paper and got the bouquet.
"May I ask the name of the sender?" I said before going inside.
"The sender requested that the name should not be said to you Miss." He replied.
"Okay. Thank you sir." I said turning back to go inside.
"Welcome." He said before leaving.
"Wow!" They said in unison. They like doing that. A lot. I placed the flowers on the table looking at each one of them.
"Tell me. Is this a plan of yours?" I asked suspecting every one.
"No/Nope/Nah/Not a chance." Zoe, Alfie, Zach and Joe. At the same time. I looked at Caspar who is now being silent.
"Hey. Cas. Was it you?" I asked. He looked at me.
"I'm starving. What will we eat? Pizza?" He said.
"Nah. Salad." Joe said.
"Let's have chicken!" I said. They stared at me.
"Again?" Zach asked. I nodded.
"It might trigger your allergy and you know that. Have you been eating chicken while I'm gone?" She said looking mad.
"Nope. I just ate chicken last dinner." I retorted. She sighed. As the result. We had beef steak, salad and 2 boxes of pizza.
"Sooo full." I said rubbing my stomach.
"Don't rub your stomach it's disgusting." Zoe said throwing a pillow.
"Aw. Watch it." I said with a warning tone.
"As if you can use your taekwondo thing on me." She said. More like challenging me. "I can't. Hahaha" I laughed defeated by her. The time passed and we are just sitting in the couch while listening to each other's story.
"What time is it?" I asked Caspar.
"6:14 pm." He replied looking at his watch.
"Let's get ready! The party starts at 7 or 7:30." I said standing up.
