I prepared myself quickly, went for breakfast, finished quickly and gave a peck to Teresa for goodbye...Then headed to the car.
When we reached as usual girls were screaming for me but something was missing..actually my saviour was missing...I looked left and right looking for Jacob but he was no where to be seen.
I took my phone from the pocket and sent him a message but he didn't answer so, instead i called him but he didn't pick-up either.
"Damn, where are you Jacob where??," I screamed agressively throughing my phone down which alert everyone around me. Everyone was scared to approach me...i walked some distance and i heard people mumbling to themselves 'That boy is dangerous, man' , 'Yes he is called the fighter he can break your leg in a second' , 'he is not a boy to befriend, man'...When i heard them, i looked at them with my cold gaze then they all ran in different directions.
"These fools," I chuckled internally.
"Hi," The voice behind my back said.....I turned myself to see who it was.
'Hey Alicia, whatsup ?' I said coming near her and we started walking slowly.
"Nothing much, whats wrong your walking all alone...Is there an issue?," She asked me worriedly.
"Noo, there is nothing," I answered her.
"Oooh but where is Jacob?," She asked curiously.
"You know Jacob?," I asked in disbelief.
"If i know you ,then i also know Jacob," She answered grinning.
"Yhhh am always with Jacob," I said slightly grinning.
"And i ask myself why, don't you have other friends?," She asked.
"Noo, he has helped me in alot...i can get another friend but that friend will never understand me like Jacob ," I said responding to her question.
"Ooh great then...but now that Jacob aint here, you have won yourself a new friend," She said with a huge smile....which made my heart almost burst out of my chest, i failed to talk i was just there busy staring at her smile....shocked and asking myself how can someone have such an angelic smile..."Don't, stop smiling," I thought.
"Yoo Justin, Are you listening? i was saying would you want me to be your second friend?," She asked snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Yes ofcourse," I answered a little shaky.
"Ok good," She said smiling....Her smile didn't stop killing me...my heart was so shaky, that it made me feel uncomfortable.
"Damn this chick and her smile, " I thought chuckling....Then i realized that i was too forcused on her smile but didn't mind where we were going at...I looked on my left and right, i saw all eyes were on us...people were so shocked asking themselves what kind of trick she used to talk with me...I looked straight where we were going and i saw that we were getting out the school-building heading to the school garden.
"Where are you taking me, i asked her.
"To give you a gift for accepting me to be your second friend," She said.
"A gift , seriously?," I stopped on the way and asked her in disbelief.
"Yesss but i have to tie your eyes," She said excitedly.
"Huh?," I said ezitating.
"Please, " She said with that smile that i couldn't resist.
"Ok do it," I finally accepted.
"Yupiiiii," She jumped excitedly and tied my eyes-up.
"Where are we going?," I asked after us walking for a while.
"Just close ur eyes...we are about to reach ," She said seductively making me smile.
We walked again with her directing me and she said untying my eyes "Ok, we have reached,"
"SURPRISEEEE," They screamed in unison.
"What, Teresa?, Jacob?..What are you both doing here?," I asked excitedly.
"Justin its your birthday and you don't even remember it," Jacob said teasingly.
"Ohh yh, i had completely forgotten," I said chuckling.
"Happy birthday Justin," Alicia said getting a small box of a gift and gave it to me.
"Thank you ," I said...."And thank you all, its really touching that you mind ,i last celebrated my birthday when i was six years. Teresa and Justin made me surprises but it brought alot of bad memories it wasn't something making me happy or excited...so i didn't like birthdays." I said with teary eyes.
"Awwww darling, me I'll always be there for you," Teresa told me with a hug.
I cut my cake, they sung for me and i received the gifts.
When the ceremony was done..we stayed with Jacob.
"So u weren't answering my calls because of my birthday?," I asked him curiously.
"Haha not only that...I did that for approachment," He answered grinning.
"Azin??," I asked in confusion.
"Surprise and Approachment...havn't you realized that you have been approached with Alicia, huh? ," He asked.
"Yes, and what did you do?," I asked him.
"I talked to her and she was so excited to participate in your surprise," He replied slightly lauging.
"Really?, are you kidding me?," I asked in disbelief.
"No i aint kidding you man," He said bending his head at the direction to where she was standing, just infront of us... giving me a sign to go talk to her.
