I walked around the mall looking for the perfect gift for Lilliana's birthday, but at the moment I'm not having much luck. Chris and the others were also invited to go over to Lilliana's place for a small party. I'm running out of time, I need to find something.

I looked through all sorts of stores with all sorts of things, such as shoes, clothes, plushies, jewellery and more. But they were all too boring. 

Just when I was about to give up, I passed this jewellery store that sold all sorts of jewellery. What really caught my eye was how popular it was, it was pretty crowded. 

I walked in browsing through all the things they had. There were some really cute earrings, there were also gold and silver bracelets with necklaces put just beside them. There were also really cute and interesting glass statues, There were swans, butterflies, birds and even an apple, not to mention the mickey mouse.

There was a big banner on the wall that said 'GET YOUR BRACELETS AND NECKLACES PERSONALISED WITH YOUR NAME!!' That sounded like a pretty good present to give to Lilliana.

I walked towards the girl that sat behind the table under the banner. "Would you like to purchase a personalised bracelet or necklace?" She asked when I reached the table. "Yes Please."
"Necklace or bracelet?"
"Necklace."
"Gold or silver?"
"Gold." I think gold would suit Lilliana.
"There are different colours of gold, which one would you like?" She asked as she brought four different coloured necklaces up on to the table from the floor. There was yellow gold, white gold, rose gold and green gold. I didn't even know green gold existed.

I couldn't decide between rose gold and white gold, I ended up choosing rose gold anyway, it'll suit her well. I pointed at the rose gold necklace, "this one, please," I said to the girl.

I wanted the necklace to have 'Lilliana' on it, but the girl said it was too long. I had no other choice but to put only 'Lilli' on it.

The final product had 'Lilli' hanging off it, I walked out of the store with the necklace in a bag. This will be a great present, I hope she likes it.

It was around half past four in the afternoon, the party isn't until five o'clock. But, I guess it wouldn't hurt to go there just a bit earlier.

I locked the door behind me and walked to Lilliana's. I typed in Lilliana's address that she sent me through messages into my phone and followed the GPS's directions.

The walk only lasted fifteen minutes. Once I got there I pressed the doorbell and waited for her to open the door. I suddenly realised, if her parents are here, that means today is the first time I'll meet them. Dammit, I should've worn something more presentable than just a hoodie and jeans.

The sound of the door creaking brought me out of my thoughts. "Felix! Come in!" Lilliana said with a giant smile on her face as she hugged me and I hugged her back. "Happy fourteenth Birthday!" I said and handed her my present.

I walked into the living room and the first impression it has given me is that it's old. The floors are made of wood and they creak, not only that almost everything in the living room looks like antiques including the sofa and clock.

"Mum! Dad! Felix is here!" She yelled as she walked into the dining room which also led to the kitchen. Her dad came walking out of the kitchen wiping his hands on a tea towel on his way out. "So, this is the Felix you've been talking about?" He said looking at- or rather inspecting me from head to toe.
"Yup!" Lilliana replied smiling.
"Hello, sir, nice to meet you," I said trying to sound polite. 
"Nice to meet you too," he said. He definitely does not seem to like me but it doesn't seem like he hates me either. If I just act more maturely and leave a good impression for him then maybe he'll agree that Lilliana and I can stay together.

Then, I heard a door slide open. I looked towards where the sound came from, Lilliana's mother walked through the door that leads to the garden with dirt all over her face and clothes. "So, you're  Felix?"
"That's right," I said with a small smile. She seemed to like me more than Lilliana's father does.

"Honey, I'm gonna go back to cooking," her father said to her mother and walked back into the kitchen.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang, "Lilli, can you go get the door?" Lilliana's mother said to her and she ran off. 

As soon as Lilliana stepped foot into the living room her mother started bombarding me with questions, "so, Felix, how old are you?"
"Sixteen."
"So you're in year ten then?"
"That's right."
"Do you genuinely like my daughter?" 
"Yes, a lot," I said without hesitation and a smile plastered to my face.
"Well, in that case, you must take care of her and treat her well under all circumstances. Understood?"
"Yes, miss. I will." Even if she didn't tell me that, I still would've treated her like she's the most important thing in the world.

Then, Lilliana came back into the dining room with Howard and a bag in her hand, I'm assuming that's Howard's present for Lilliana. Howard talked with Lilliana's mum for a bit until Chris, Kerby and Norton also arrived. They all wished Lilliana happy birthday.

We mucked around for half an hour until it was dinner time. Lilliana's parents had already had dinner so they went into their room not wanting to disturb their daughter's birthday party. "Should I open the presents after dinner?" Lilliana asked and everyone said yes.
"And then, we'll watch a horror movie," Kerby suggested.
"Good idea," Chris said stuffing his mouth with pasta.

As much as I want to join the conversation, only one thing is on my mind. Before dinner, Lilliana told me something, "My parents  are allowing me to date."

I remember at the amusement park she said she'd tell the others about our relationship on her birthday if her parents allowed her to date. Her birthday is today. 

When will she tell the others?

Yes, I changed the cover again for the fifth time I think? 

Story time: I had a science major assignment which was done in groups or partners, we had one and a half week to do but all I did was procrastinate. It was due yesterday but my partner and I were still not done, we made excuses to not do our presentation and we succeeded which meant we had a bit more time to finish. That night I stayed up all night to do the assignment. The fact that my partner couldn't edit the slide-show was no help, and I didn't know until the next morning. Which meant I did almost three-quarters of the assignment half-asleep and by myself 'til 1:13.

I also had fitness today in PE which I hate 'cause it drains out my energy, by the end of the day I was really tired :)

Y'all don't procrastinate.

I made a kpop cover shop, I can make you a cover on there if you want.
