when their movie night is over it is now 9am in the morning. the four are already sitting at the table and are currently having breakfast. they were the only ones having breakfast while lauren's parents were earlier this morning,

"Hey guy's my birthday is near in the corner!" Belle almost said to the four.

Lauren and sidney looked at each other while noelie was just listening
"Yah, ofcourse. So what are you planning? " lauren look at belle with warm smile in her face.

"Shall we go on vacation?" Sidney quickly demanded after Lauren's statement.

 
"No! Idiot,the school entrance is a day ahead. so we can't do that now.

 I thought we were on vacation on your birthday because of December?" Belle just demanded to sidney silly want.

"Or maybe! In Lauren's birthday! Belle continually said it this time.

"We can't do that in our birthdays.  Lauren look to noelie.

"Ohhhww. I get it. You dump belle. Lauren and noelie are the same birthday. Their twin right?

 "Sidney said it to belle because belle seems off thinking.

"Oh yah. Sorry i forgot you shared birthdays, but I plan to throw a party this Sunday night at ourhouse. couple of our friend in highschool and you guys. noelie come with us! I want to see you there. Belle said almost to the four.

"Ofcourse i love too. " noelie sweet respond to belle.
"noelie and I will go at the same time with your place this sunday . Lauren interrupt.
"Great! " belle said to lauren.
"Guy's i want to go shopping right after our breakfast . You guys in? Sidney said.

"Ow yah. I will also buy my acrylics" lauren said it to sidney.

"What for?" Belle said it to lauren questionably.

"For my UNI , I have two art pieces that need to be completed for my architecture portfolio" lauren suddenly said.

"Oh myghad!! we also have a portfolio submitted to MMA?? Oh ghad i hope not so. Belle turn to meet gaze at noelie's.

"hmm can't you have your old portfolio if we are required to submit. Noelie respond calmly.

 
"No, not that .I have not taken care of it yet. many art pieces that i collected on the past month is a messed. I'm only pro to digital but my technical works was awful than you thought. Belle have the worry looks when she uttered what she was saying to noelie.

" well you should just invest to it. " lauren interrupt.

"That's true, it is important that we be prepared for what may happen. Noelie statement.
"Noelie you also go shopping with us, maybe you need to buy your things too and belle needs a lot of advice especially you have the same course, belle is a little bit bad ass to her course." Sidney teasingly and at the same time pleasing noelie to go with them.

In the Mall - "Westfield Mall located at London"
Lauren's POV

I immediately told them to go to the art store to buy my acrylics first. it is not difficult for those to go with me and to accompany me, And first to go around this, because we are both artists and we prefer to go to the art store than to go through things than other teenagers who are literally shopping in mind.

Belle basically go to art crafts section

She looks at the possible beautiful designs ,that may she need on her photo album since in the past few months ,belle is already inclined to take a picture of our travels and dates cause she wants to accumulate memories with her bestfriends ,especially now that we are in college, in a few years we will separate the path to pursue our different field and dreams on the other hand sidney is going to the ball point pens ,

She was seriously looking at the ball point pens and I could see her was amazed as the ball point pen tested. Sidney, on the other hand, took the course of Interior designing, I even wondered with her at first why ,she didn't just go to architecture instead because all the designs and building making, are already in the archi beside her father and mines are archi batchmates and a good friend. But I also can't blame my bestfriend because when we are in high school, she has so much in her for interior stuffs she also look at any other design she can see, even my house ,she inspected my room and what paint looks properly in my room that ,i know she's so talented.

when I was able to choose my things I came across noelie she also took acrylics, i don't hesitate to asked her why she needed to buy acrylics but instead take her acrylics and say "we bought the same, I'll just pay" and manage to smile right in front of her
and turned away from her to go to the counter.

when I finish paying for everything noelie and I bought, I went back to her and handed her thing in the separate paper bag . She smile and thanks to me i said that it's not that big deal though after a minute of silence my two bestfriend
went out of the store and stared in the direction where outside the store noelie and I were waiting

"I'm sorry twin ,Have we waited you two for a long time? "Belle said this time with tease on her smile.

I suddenly respond. "So i'll be leaving now girls, i need a way to get the materials I bought from a friend of mine, it is important".  but the truth is I will just picked up the gift I bought at a mini store that belle and I went to last last month. traces on her face that she wanted to like the dress we looked at before. so i thought it would be so fit in hers.

because I am the person who will be reminded of things so i would rather give a best gift than my two friends. but I am just quiet and serious I manage to have peace at myself and just be extroverts with them outside. I was not that weak to be vulnerable with them it almost my masculinity and off guard personality ate me up more than i was vulnerable with only to one person i used to loved.

So they bought my acting skills they do not suspect me because of the word "it is important" they know me seriously when I say those words so they couldn't mess with me through that state. So i regards my goodbye once again.

when I was paying at the store for my reserved clothes, I immediately message sidney "i just went to pay my gift to belle i'm sorry i can't let you know this because its a surprise and we will be noticed earlier. She texted me back "it's okiee boo! Take care. "Oh pls. Give noelie a ride home or just texted me if she just go to home huh? " i manage to text. and sidney said.

okay lauren i got her"..
