"Hey."
I heard Kitty call out to me.
I looked at her and I saw how serious she looked at me.
"It's literally your birthday, what's with you being stingy?" She looked at me directly to my eyes.
I averted her gaze. "I mean. I didn't really asked you guys to prepare this for me. In fact you all just pissed me off with this set up. You can just greet me in a normal way."
"But normal's too simple. And we don't want simple things." I heard Earl said and suddenly I am facing the cake.
"The candle is melting! Hurry and make a wish!" They all made me panicky.
"Damn! Hold on!" I shrugged their hands off of me because they are now holding my shoulders to keep me in place and blow the candle in front of me.
I closed my eyes and made a wish...
Seconds later, I opened my eyes and saw that they are all looking at me intently.
"So..."
"What did you wish for?!"
"Come on! Tell us!"
