CHAPTER 13!

Almost everyone was greeting me and i smiled at them saying thank you. my friends had a little surprise for me and i hugged them all. they gave me presents and they even bought me my favorite chocolate cake. i love these guys.

"Hey, i still got one more surprise for you later so cancel your activities after the class." Tyler told me as we head to the English Class.

"What about Tania and the others?" i asked knowing that we always celebrate one's birthday together.

"I told them about it and they were totally fine with it but they would spend their time with you right after the class and after that, it's my time." he winked at me then sat straight just as our English teacher started talking. So far, i'm happy with their surprises. i smiled at myself like and idi*t knowing that this is starting to be one of the most memorable birthday for me.

*******

English was done and it's time for our PE class. Tyler offered to drop me on the PE class since he will go through that way also and he said we'll talk about the surprise later. yeah. HE said it was a surprise but he's telling me about it. oh well, i still don't know the place so it's a li'l bit of surprise though. i guess. heh.

"So, i'll pick you up at seven sharp. remember the sharp. wear something nice. a dress would do." he instructed as we entered the gym.

"Yes sir!"  saluted like a soldier at him and he laughed at my childish act. it's not even that childish. i bet some people older than me still do it for a joke. "But wait. why do i have to wear a dress Mr. Tyler Griffin?" i raised my eyebrow at him as we reached to a stop. i'm not really fond of wearing dresses, i get conscious easily.

"Come on, Van. it will not be a surprise if i'll tell you." he whined and i know that i'm making it hard for him. hah!

"Okay, okay Ty. but don't do something-"

"I promise!" he cut me off smiling widely. "Now, go or you'll be late."

"is that you're way of shooing me?"  i fake-hurt at him and he widened his eyes.

"No Van." he scolded but i interrupted him, "I'm kidding babe." i joked that caused him to be embarrased. what's up with my boldness today? i shook my head, smiling , and Tyler cleared his throat. "There goes our PE teacher, we got close already a while ago. i'll call him. Mr.--"

"Tyler!" i heard a squeaky voice behind us and saw that it was the brunette girl calling Tyler as she run towards us.

"Hey, Kylie." Tyler smiled at her.

Wait. what?!

Kylie.. Kylie..

KYLIE?! as in...

i gasped and blurted out, "Kylie?!" she widened her eyes at me realizing that i already remembered her. hah. could've fooled me. both of our eyes were widened but i know mine were larger as if my eye sockets are ready to buldged out. For a moment there, we had a who-has-the-widest-eyes competition.

how could i even forget her? She was the younger sister of.. of.. i couldn't even say his name. how could i forget it? i know i'm being melodramatic but guess what, i am sometimes.

"Mr. Hayden!" Tyler called to the back of Kylie bringing me back to reality. i felt knots in my stomach just hearing his name and his footsteps nearing.
