Cleo’s PoV

I finally graduated high school but I still haven’t received my graduation gift. I asked for a car but they said that I’ll receive it when I’m almost in college because I wasn’t ‘responsible enough to take care of something’ or so they say.

Today is my birthday and I received a text while I was eating my breakfast from my bestie, Hazel, telling me that she’ll come over and that she’ll treat me to something. Yet again, my parents forgot my birthday again so I’m just gonna celebrate my birthday with Hazel.

I hear a honking noise outside so I go and check only to see Hazel in her car. I plop inside  after I get ready and Hazel gives me a small box with a ribbon. I open it to see a necklace with two dolphins kissing each other in a heart shape.

“Happy Birthday, Cleo! Now, was there something wrong that happened?” asks Hazel,

“Thanks Hazel! You just made my day. It’s just that, not only did my parents forget my birthday again, they also forgot my graduation gift. I have such great parents.” I say sarcastically.

“Cleo, want to go shopping to get rid of that nasty experience you just had?” she suggests,

“Of course, we’re going to go shopping cause we’re already inside the car. Where else are we supposed to go?” I point out,

“What? We can go watch a movie. I heard there’s something good showing now,”

“You know what? Let’s just go shopping.” I finalize as she starts the car and drives.

----------------------------

We bought a lot of clothes when we arrived and Hazel paid for mine. Well… mostly cause I didn’t want to be the cause on why she’s gonna be broke.

We stop at Starbucks and order some drinks and are just getting to know what was happening in each other’s lives and other stuff.

“Cleo, I’m just going to do my business. Be right back in a jiffy!” she winks at me and leaves me alone. I sigh and was gonna sip my drink until a blond guy trips and spills his coffee on me, making my bra kind of visible now. Well that was the most non-awkward thing I’ve ever stated. Although I know this, it was super hot so I jump and embarrass myself. I quickly sat down and reach for something to cover my now-visible bra.

“Hey! Look what you’ve just done!” I exclaim,

“Well, it’s your fault. Your bag was in the way so I tripped and you got your coffee spilling all over yourself.” he excuses, not doing anything to help me.

“That was so helpful of you, no really.” I say sarcastically, just in time for Hazel to see the situation I’m in. She gasps and asks him on why he was here. The blond guy didn’t say anything and just ignored her.

“Hazel, that guy just spilled my coffee on me.” That was when she just noticed what happened to me and leads me to the bathroom together with the clothes that we bought for me to change into.

“Hazel, do you know him?” I ask, she hesitates for a bit and replies with a yes.

“He was actually my first love until he moved away. Do you still remember him?”

I stiffen. I look down and say no. She gives me a random shirt and pair of jeans as I gladly take it and go to an unoccupied stall and change into it. I get out of the stall, grab all of our belongings with us, and leave the place.

***

We shop for another ten minutes and quickly go home since Hazel’s parents were at home and I didn’t want her parents to be angry at her. She drives me home and I say goodbye to her. I enter the house and ask what the dinner was. I then eat the pasta for dinner and go straight to my room. I take another shower and turn on my TV. After a couple minutes, I  fall sleep, forgetting to turn it off.
