Elizabeth ran back home. She st©pped at the Church’s gate. She looked around while in the midst of her heavy and loud breathing.
“Hey girl!” She heard Flora’s voice. She turned behind and waved to her. Flora smiled and waved back.
“You’re quite early, It just 12 minutes” Lizzy said as she g@sped staring at her phone’s bright screen.
“It doesn’t matter, or does it?” Flora asked back chuckling.
“Huh, Not at all”
“Did you run?”
“Huh? Wha–What? Why did you say so?”
“You are really sweaty despite this cold night, You are breathing heavily too” Flora replied
“Uh, Yeah… I just went to get something. Huh, What was that gist you wanted to talk about?”
“Let’s talk some where else”
“No–
“Why?”
“Sorry but that stupid human, You know who I mean?”
“Yeah, Debbie? Your elder sister?”
“Yeah–Lizzy paused and nodded. “She’s gonna report me to our parents if I’m late.
plea-se, Be quic-k with whatever you plan on saying”
“Hmm, Okay then… I’m speaking on behalf of someone”
“Huh? Did someone give you a message for me?”
“Yeah… I’m kinda a mess£nger and bridge to you guys– Flora paused and both of them laughed jokingly
Someone likes you, A h0t cute handsome guy” Flora continued after the laugh had died down.
“What? Really?” Lizzy smiled
“Well yeah, What’s your ideal type?”
“Who’s he first?”
“A guy you are gonna love, His name is actually a secret and I’m not gonna answer any questions concerning his identity… So, What’s your ideal type?”
“I guess he might have the qualities, Is he older?”
“Yeah… With 3 years” Flora replied
“Wow, So is he cute, h0t, funny, ro-mantic, S-xy–
“Don’t you think you are being too greedy?” Flora interrupted laughing.
“Am I?” Lizzy laughed
“A lot than you think… He has all those things you de-sire, He’s your ideal type and you are his too”
“Wow” Lizzy chuckled blu-shing.
“So?… Elizabeth, Do you wanna know him, Do you wanna see him?”
Lizzy stared at her and nodded numerously.
“Do you want to go on a d@t£ with him?”
“Yes, I would love to” Elizabeth replied smiling.
********(THE NEXT MORNING)*******
“Happy new month, Softball!” Ken yelped as he held onto Alexa’s shoulder.
“Same Ken” Alexa smiled.
“What of Eric, Huh?” She asked
“Am I now invisible? What about me, Aiish! You only think of Eric” Ken sprouted sadly.
“No, It just I didn’t see him yesterday due to your busy schedule” She replied.
“Softball, What about me? I was’nt here either, You didn’t miss me huh, even for a bit?” He was really sad alre-ady.
“No, Don’t talk like that, I missed you Ken… A lot” She smiled. Ken looked at her and smiled.
“My softball… I miss you more” Ken replied r0ûghly scattering her hair.
“Hey, You are messing up with my hair?” Alexa chuckled patting her hair.
“Softball, My birthday is coming very soon”
“Really? When is that?”
“In three days”
“Awwn, That’s November 4th, How old are you gonna be clocking?”
“Uhmm, Guess?”
“Uhh.. 24?”
“No, 23”
“Uh… I’m turning 23 next year too, Awwn… Ken is now a big boy!” Alexa smiled as she gently placed her hand on his head. She started rou-gh handling suddenly. Ken looked at her nervously, He swallowed ha-rd and blinked. “Huh? Softball.. I’ve got to go, See you later,, Just continue with your work” Ken said avoiding eye contact.
“Huh?” Alexa stared confused as she watched him leave. She shrugged her shoulders and rolled her eyes still puzzled.
Meanwhile, Ken ran into his room. He placed his back against the door after locking it from the inside. He inhaled de-eply. He placed his hand on his che-st and heard the thumping loud sound coming from his che-st.
“What wrong with me? Aiish!!–Ken, You had better pu-ll yourself together!” He muttered as he sl@pped his cheek ha-rd .
He looked at his be-d and saw an imaginary picture of Alexa on it smiling.
“What’s this? How?! Am I seeing things now? Alex, What did you do to me?” He shivered ru-bbing his both eyes with his clenched fists.
He looked at the be-d and the imagination seemed to have disappeared. He inhaled de-eply.
“I just hope it not what it is…Am I turning g@y like the guys said I would that day? Oh no… Aiish! I’m doomed!”
**************************
“Eric!” Alexa smiled, She blu-shed and bit herl-ips.
“Oh… Alex, Oh should I just call you Alexa?” He whispered
“Oh goodness” She blu-shed
“So, How are you doing?” He smiled
“I’m good, Eric… Hummh, When is your birthday?”
“Uhmm… It’s next year though, April”
“Wow… I’m April too. April 19”
“I’m April 5th, Seems we have a strong connection, huh?”
Alexa smiled and nodded. She couldn’t look at him and folded herl-ips softly.
“I will be turning 23 then, You?”
“24” He replied
“Wow, Nice… I like older guys” Alexa chuckled
“Huh? What?”
“No, It’s nothing” She smiled
“Ken birthday is coming up soon, You know right?” Eric asked
“Yeah, He told me… November 4th” Alexa nodded
“Yeah….Ethan too”
“Really? When?”
“November 8th”
“I’m sure they have strong connection like us too” Alexa retorted as Ethan smiled at her.
****************************
“Alex, Do you like it?” Ken asked slurping his spaghetti.
“Yeah… I love it, But Eric cooks better” Alexa replied. Ethan stole a glance at Eric who smiled.
“For Real? My heart just got broken” Ken laughed while Alexa joined in laughing too.
“Anyways… It’s great, I’m still gonna ask for more” Alexa commented
“It all yours… Alex…No, I mean Softball, Before I forget!” Ken gushed
“About?” Alexa questioned
“I’m gonna have a small p@rty here”
“Oh… Just a little p@rty to celebr@te your birthday right?” Alexa smiled
“Yeah…It’s between just us here, So.. Invite your friends, Okay?”
“Huh? My friends?” Alexa whispered turning her eyes to Ethan.
“Let’s just do what he says. It’s his birthday after all” Ethan suddenly commented
“Yippee! They are gonna be excited and happy, Thank you Ethan” Alexa gushed. She smiled at Ethan who smiled back.
“Ethan. I heard” Alexa chuckled with her mouthful
“What?” He asked now turning his gaze to her.
“Your birthday is November too. It’s coming on the 8th right?”
“Yeah” He replied nodding
“Can I ask how old you would be clocking soon?” She asked
“25” He replied swiftly

“That’s nice, You seem not to dislike me anymore. Now, I can ask you some questionable things”
“What about you?” He asked taking his gaze off her and changing the t©pic.
“Huh? Me?” Alexa asked puzzled
“Yeah… When is your birthday?”
“Oh, It’s April 19..I will be turning 23 then” She replied. Ethan nodded.
“So? Will you celebr@te yours like Ken?” Alexa asked.
“Huh? No.. He won’t” Eric added
“Huh? Why?” Alexa asked.
“Huh… He only celebr@tes his birthday alone with his girlfriend” Eric replied nervously.
“Why?”
“7 points” Ethan commented suddenly.
“Excuse me?” Alexa was surprised.
“You just asked an annoying question, So you’ve got 7 points… Let’s see how long you last here, huh?” He said.
Alexa angrily stared at him.
“It’s okay guys. Anyways, Softball don’t forget to invite your friends,,Okay?” Ken broke the silence.
“Okay Ken” Alexa smiled now showing her flashy teeth.
Afterwards, Alexa turned to look at Eric who sat beside her as they ate.
“Your cousin, My friend is coming over… You haven’t seen my other friend yet right, right?” Alexa asked
“Huh? No” Eric answered calmly quite shaking up a bit.
“I’m gonna invite her, Her name is Elizabeth and she’s very fun and jovial, She’s also annoying sometimes but all the same you are gonna be happy to see her” Alexa smiled
“Yeah… I will” Eric whispered as he smiled back.

“What? Ken’s birthday p@rty?” Flora asked. Though, She had a happy face Her mind was still troubled. She was devastated on what outcome the p@rty would bring between the love triangle that none of them knew about.
“I can’t wait, I’m gonna wear my S-xiest outfits” Lizzy giggled.
“You always did. Don’t bother reminding us” Alexa ch!pped in.
They were still ma-king fun of each other when they heard Flora’s de-ep sigh.
“Hey, Girl. Are you okay? Don’t you wanna go to the p@rty. Remember, Eric is there” Lizzy smiled giving Alexa a wi-nk. Alexa smiled heartily.
“Flora, Are you okay? You seemed to be in thoughts earlier” Alexa commented.
“No, It’s fine… I’m just kinda worried about huh.. the pres£nt I should give him” She was swift in answering the question.
“Oh, Geez. Why didn’t I think of that. Girls, Let’s get something for him” Alexa said.
“Like what? Shoes?” Lizzy asked
“No, He has a lot of that. Let’s get him something he doesn’t have” Alexa chuckled
“I like your idea but what in p@rticular? I’m quite confused” Flora said
“Me too, What do you think Alexa?” Lizzy asked
“Huh, I guess I’m embarras-sed to say I’ve nothing on my mind” Alexa commented as they jokingly laughed.
“Oh! I just remembered!” Flora chuckled
“What? Tell me” Alexa replied anxiously
“Let’s ask the smartest girl in your house” Flora retorted
“What? Who’s that?–Hey! Don’t expect me to ask that witch” Alexa exclaimed
“Let’s just ask her…You know Alicia got br@ins” Lizzy smiled

(30 MINUTES LATER)
.
“So, What do you guys want?” Alicia asked staring back at the six pair of eyes that looked at her. She was seated in the middle of them. She kept her straight stern look and bent her eye brows. They just continued staring without answering.
“What is it? Won’t you answer? I’m gonna leave” Alicia warned trying to leave.
“Wait– Alexa retorted holding onto her short arm. Alexa was quite embarras-sed and coughed slightly.
“Huh, We wanna ask you something” Alexa blurted out.
“Okay, Go on. I’m all ears” Alicia replied slowly taking her bo-ttomto the wooden seat.
“Huh. Actually,, A friend of mine is having his birthday soon and we want to get something for him but he has everything we have thought about. Do you have any unique ideas?” Alexa asked
“He has everything huh?” Alicia asked moving her eyes to the ceiling.
“Yeah” Flora ch!pped in.
“Is he single?” Alicia asked
“What? Single? Does that Matter?” Alexa asked scoffing loudly. She turned her gaze to Alicia.
However, Alicia wasn’t joking. Instead, Her look was hell! She was so serious that you wouldn’t notice her eyes blinking. Alexa felt embarras-sed and coughed out her scratchy throat.
“Huh, Yeah… He’s single” She replied sharply breaking the never ending silence.
“What he nee-ds now is a Girlfriend” Alicia replied wearing a thick smile.
“What? Girlfriend? Can you be serious? What do you mean?” Alexa asked
“Unnie, You are really annoying! Should I go?” Alicia yelled.
“Hey! Why do you have to yell at–
“It’s enough! Alicia, plea-se Continue” Flora calmly commented.
Alicia smiled and faced her.
“He doesn’t have something…..A Girlfriend,, All he nee-ds is that” Alicia smiled
“That means we are gonna set him up on a d@t£?” Flora asked. Alicia nodded.
“But who will be his d@t£?” Lizzy asked
“Maybe Flora?” Alicia asked. They all turned to look at her.
“What?,, Alexa… Now, I know she’s talking trash… You can leave, Alicia.. Yes! Bye! Thank you for the advice!” Flora said as they watched Alicia storm out of the restaurant angrily.
“More like an unreasonable advice. Let’s do this instead Girls?” Lizzy asked
“What?” Alexa and Flora asked simultaneously as they stared at Elizabeth curiously.
“Well, Let’s just get the birthday pres£nt on our own. Anything you can get, You guys will give it to him on that day sepreratly. What do you think?” Lizzy asked
“Yeah, I guess you are right. I’m also curious on the gift he might like best” Alexa ch!pped in as Flora laughed.
*******(THE DAY BEFORE THE p@rtY)*******
“Alicia. Which t©p is prettier, I mean better? This or–This?” Alexa asked holding two good expensive men shi-ts.
“Just take one. Why do you bother?” Alicia asked
“I’m trying to impress someone” Alexa smiled
“Who?” Alicia asked
“Just someone”
“Don’t tell me it’s him?”
“What? Who?”
“Your crush?”
“What’s this? Did I ever tell you I was crushing on someone?”
“I just guessed” Alicia laughed. “But it seems I’m right too…Okay, This one is better. He’s definitely gonna love it” Alicia added wi-nking. Alexa looked at the shi-t her sister picked and smiled.
**********************
“Dad,, Are you asleep?” Alicia asked looking at her father whose head was on the table
“Uh? No Princess. I was a bit tired and decided to take a short nap. Is everything alright?” Mr Lynn asked raising his head as he opened his slightly closed eyes.
“No. Dad. There’s something I wanna talk about”
“Yes, Go on”
“Uhh, Dad… About your accident? I just–
“Alicia. Let’s forget about it. Bye gones are Bye Gones” He retorted sighing de-eply.
“Dad. plea-se, Just listen to me!” Alicia yelled. She felt disheartened.
“Okay. What’s it? Talk to me” His soft voice asked
“Dad. Let’s find the hit and run culprit, Huh?.. Are you gonna let it go like that. Dad! No.. No! Hell No! plea-se!”
“But Alicia. Who told you it’s a hit and run. I never said anything like that to you?” Mr Lynn asked confused
“I just… guessed. But by the looks of things, Its seems I’m right. Huh?”
“Huh? Uhmmp… I guess you are. How did you guess so right?” Mr Lynn was stunned.
“Let’s just say it’s my talent. I say that to find the actual truth. That’s how I caught you huh?” Alicia asked chuckling
“You are right” Mr Lynn laughed.
**************(THE D-DAY🎉)************
The Girls were in Flora’s new car. It was a Mercedes Benz. Flora was still new in driving so she drove quite slow on the road of Seoul.
“You look natural Lizzy. I thought you would put on your S-xiest wear” Alexa mocked. Flora laughed while Lizzy threw them a slight frown.
“We aren’t going to a club right? I just decided to dress modest. Alexa,, You could have dressed like a girl” Lizzy had to mock back. Alexa looked at her and snorted.
“You guys had better not put me in trouble when we get there” Alexa folded her arms as she rested her head on the window staring at the few stars on the night sky.
“How?” Flora asked
“Call me Alex and Not Alexa”
Lizzy and Flora turned to look at themselves. They faced in front again and laughed loudly.
“Look.. Our Tomboy even has a name” Flora laughed
“I’m also surprised! I was kinda wondering what you were being called in your work place. Now I know” Lizzy commented smiling.
“How are you Alex?” Flora mocked
“He’s fine” Lizzy replied with mockery in her voice
“Let him be. I think he isn’t in the mood” Flora laughed
“Oh Goodness. Really? I’m sorry sir. Pardon my manners” Lizzy giggled
“Hey, I’m being serious here. Darn it. Enough with the sarcasm!” Alexa exclaimed quite bitter.
Flora and Lizzy laughed again and soon, There was ultimate quietness.
“You’ve arrived at your destination” The computerized voice coming from the car’s GPS said.
“Oh… We are finally here” Alexa smiled.
“Get down girls” Lizzy gushed
“How do I look?” Flora asked as she slowly c@m£ down. She t©uçhed her w@!st and wiggled.
“You look good, Flora. Don’t have any sort of low self-esteem on your self. Just be who you are” Lizzy smiled
“I can’t agree more. Oh before we forget… Let’s take our gifts in” Alexa yelped.
“They are in the car boot. Wait… Lemme go get them. You guys had yours wra-pped right?” Flora asked walking closer to the car boot.
“Yeah.. Mine is wra-pped with fine rosy pattern” Alexa said
“While Mine is wra-pped with Lemon fruit pattern” Lizzy said
“Yup! I’ve got them. Let’s now go in” Flora said now walking close to the others. They took their different wra-pped gifts from her and slowly began to walk inside.
They finally reached the door. Alexa st©pped and looked at the door security. She re-moved her gaze and slowly took her hand to the door bell. She pressed it quic-kly. Few Seconds later, The door opened wi-dely.
“Let’s go Girls” Alexa smiled.
