It's been two years since I joined the resistance, tomorrow was going to be my third. Everyone here is so nice. I never felt this type of closeness, except for Sheba. She didn't really like me, maybe because we both like Solomon and she wants him for herself.
We never interacted until Arba brought us together. She's really nice too, but, I don't really trust her.
When I joined the resistance it was also crowned my birthday. I never had one before. Falan just decided to enlist me with one on that day.
"(name), what would you like to have at your birthday celebration."
Birthday celebration. Ugo wanted to celebrate it with everyone, Falan decided to get it ready.
"Really it's nothing. You don't have to. I never had a birthday. So please don't waste your time." I said.
"Come on (name), like, it's the least we could do, aru. You're new and we want to make you feel welcome, aru." she insisted.
"But I already feel welcome here. You all are so nice." I said.
"Pleaseeeee, aru," she begged.
"Fine. I would like... (favourite food)." I mumbled the last part.
"Yay, you won't be disappointed, aru." she said cheerfully, waving goodbye.
'This is all Ugo's fault. He's the one who wanted to celebrate it.' I thought angrily.
. . .
I'm bored. Maybe I should go find Sheba. She always knows how to make me smile.
I walked around inside searching for Sheba. I couldn't find her.
'Maybe she's outside.' I thought.
I rushed outside, greeting everyone who I saw.
"Yeah... like that... pick up the pace will you." I heard Sheba say.
"Sorry, I'll try harder." and then I heard Solomon.
'What are they doing over there.' I thought and ran in their direction. 'Are they doing something like that in an open place like this.'
They were behind a wall and I peeked a bit. Thank goodness they were only dancing.
"Solomon. You have to do better than that. What will she think?" Sheba yelled.
"What would who think, who is this girl?" I whispered as I left. 'Maybe it's Sheba and she doesn't know.' I thought.
[Solomon]
"Solomon. You have to do better than that. What will she think?" Sheba yelled at me.
"I don't think I can do this anymore. I'm not meant for dancing." I said making space between us.
"Well, you came and asked me for help. Now you're gonna do as I say and dance amazingly with (name) tomorrow." she scolded.
[A Week Ago]
"Sheba, I need your help with something," I asked.
"Solomon. What is it?" she looked all bubbly as she said it.
"I need to learn... how to dance," I admitted.
"To dance. Is it for (name) party next week," she asked, becoming less bubbly.
"Yeah, I want to dance with her. But I don't know how."
"Oh.. alright then. I'll help you. I'll make you an amazing dancer in time for her party." she said.
"Thank you."

[Time Skip - To Party - (Reader)]
It was time for my party. I have a plan that would get Solomon and Sheba together. Even though it would break my heart to see them together. I want Solomon to be happy, if he's happy, I'm happy.
It's been a few minutes since everyone came. I had just eaten three (favourite food) and I'm still going for more.
Solomon and Sheba had just walked in. I give it some time before I actually tell them.
[Solomon]
"Solomon, there (name). Go ask her to dance." Sheba encouraged me.
"Yeah I see her, I'm going," I said walking towards her.
I saw her eating (favourite food). It was all over her face. It was adorable.
"Hey (name). You need a napkin." I passed her a napkin.
"Thank you, Solomon," she said as she wiped her face. It's now my chance to ask her.
"Hey (name). I was wondering if you-" I was stopped by her putting her finger on my lips. I blushed.
"I know Solomon. You like Sheba" she said. I wanted to yell 'what' but she continued, "And I'll help you tell her."
[Reader]
"I know Solomon. You like Sheba, and I'll help you tell her." I said. I got up and walked towards Sheba. Solomon followed.
"Hey, Sheba. I have something to tell you from Solomon. It's very important." I announced. Everyone else gathered.
"Solomon... likes... you Sheba." I cheered jumping up and down.
[Solomon]
"Solomon.. is this TRUE," Ugo yelled. "I thought you liked (name)," Ugo whispered to me.
"I do. Don't worry I'll fix it." I whispered back. I tapped (name) shoulder and she turned to me.
"(Name), I'm sorry to say this, but I don't like Sheba," I told her.
"You don't?" she asked, confused.
"Yeah, that's because I like you, (name)."
"What-I-you-me-but-what?" she said waving her hand in the air, "but you came to me over there and said you were wondering if I could tell Sheba you like her."
"You didn't let me finish. I was going to ask you to dance." I finished.
"To dance, so you like me."
"Yeah, I just wanted to make this day as special for you."
"Okay."
"Okay, what?"
"Okay I'll dance with you." she grabbed my hand and ran to the dance floor.
[Sheba]
These two are so cute together. I wish Solomon felt the same way for me.
