Szeina had to narrow her eyes and cross her arms over her chest. The dining hall had an enormous banner with a 'Happy Birthday!' hanging horizontally by the entrance.
Somewhere in the middle, Granola and Queedor stood with a round chocolate birthday cake in hand. Behind them, they filled a small table with cupcakes, three pizza plates and a large serving of mac n cheese.
The scent wafted through her nostrils, reminding her of the small dinner she ate earlier.
Aside from Granola and Queedor, Xeruz joined in the surprise. Not only him, but there were also her small crew whom she'd been associating with occasionally, namely, Laura and Raven.
To her astonishment, even Seth was there. He stood between the twins, a smile on his face.
"Remember," Neyandro whispered in her ears. "Play nice."
She had to roll her eyes while he gave her a gentle push. All of them were wearing something formal. But Szeina was still in her uniform.
