Few weeks later, it was 7th June, it was Prince's 16th birthday. In Prince's house, in Prince's room, Prince wakes up and see his dad in his room. Prince ask

Prince - What did I do now that you are in my room?

John - Sixteen years ago you made me a dad (happily smiling 😃)

Prince - Oh.... Big deal old man! (bored tone while rolling his eyes)

John - Come on Prince cheek up buddy, it is your 16th birthday. Listen I know you are pissed off that I won't be home tonight as I'm leaving for the trip this afternoon but I will make it up for you

Prince - Ok

John - Now get ready for school. I will get your breakfast ready

Prince - Okay

Prince sits on the bed and thought to call Michael for the weekend with a huge smile 😊 as his dad will be away for a business trip. Prince went to get freshen up and went to the kitchen and see John had made his favourite buttered pancakes 🥞, fried eggs 🍳, bacons 🥓 and boiled eggs 🥚. John and Prince have their breakfast, John say

John - You can call your friends over here but please don't trash the house by having a party, I don't want any complaints from the landlord

Prince nodes his head and took his school bag 🎒 and left the house. Prince went to the Jacksons house and knocks on the door and Kate opens the door and say

Katherine - Good morning Prince (smiling 😁)

Prince - Very good morning Mrs. Jackson, (smiling 😃) is Michael home? (hopefully)

Katherine - Sorry Prince but Michael left the house very early in the morning

Prince - Oh (disappointedly) Ok bye Mrs. Jackson (👋)

Katherine - Have a wonderful day ahead and bye Prince (👋 smiling ☺)

Prince sadly 😔 went to school in the hope to see Michael in the school. In the school 🏫, Prince enter the school, Morris and Van say

Morris - Many returns of the day Prince

Van - Happy birthday to you Prince

Prince - Thanks guys! (smiling 🙂)

Morris - What happened Prince, you sound a bit low than usual

Prince - Nothing

Van - You and Michael are okay, right?

Prince - Yeah, we are fine.... Why are you asking?

Morris - We haven't seen you both together for past few days

Prince - Our work is keeping us busy

Chris comes to them and say

Chris - Happy birthday, birthday boy Prince (seeing Prince)

Van - Chris where is Michael?

Chris - I don't know.... I didn't meet him for past few days.... Either way Morris how is your work going in the clothes shop?

Morris - Great!.... I am joying it everyday.... Thanks again for asking your uncle

Chris - He asked for it and I told about you.... You wanted job and he wanted worker so happy to help both of you (smiling 🙂)

They hear the bell ring and they went to Maths classroom. Prince see beside his seat and did not see Michael. When the class about to start, Michael enter the classroom and sit in the last seat in the back of the room. Prince see Michael but Michael completely ignored Prince. In next few classes, Prince noticed that Michael was ignoring him. At lunchtime, Prince was having his lunch with his friends. Prince ask

Prince - Chris where is Michael? (irritated tone) Why is he avoiding and ignoring me? (annoyed tone)

Chris - I don't know.... He is avoiding and ignoring me too. He is acting quite weird too. He never acted like this before, I hope he's okay (worried tone)

Morris - Where is he right now?

Chris - No where in the school, I checked everywhere

Prince - Did I do anything wrong with him that he's mad at me? (worried tone)

Chris - No Prince, (shakes his head) Michael would have told me if you had done anything wrong. He told me that he is more happier with you than he was with Eddie

Prince - I just hope everything is okay with him.... I never seen him act like this before

Van - Don't worry Prince, everything will be fine. It could be that Michael is preoccupied with something important

Prince - I think you are right.... I will meet you guys later

Morris - Do you have work today?

Prince - Yeah (nodes his head).... My shift will end at 8pm or 8:30pm after that if you guys are free we can hang out at my place as my dad's away for the weekend

Chris - Surely we will be there

After Prince's part time job ended, Prince went to the dollar store to buy his dinner and to get Michael as they went back home together if their jobs ended at the same time. In the dollar store Prince didn't see Michael and felt sad 😔 and bought the stuffs he wanted and went home. In Prince's house, Prince enter the house and suddenly he heard a pop sound and the lights got on and Prince gets shocked 😲 to see the whole basketball team, Chris, Morris and Van in the house.

Morris - Yeah do that before he eats the amazing looking cake

Van - We all have been putting very hard job by stopping Chris from going to the cake so do the honors of cutting your birthday cake.

Prince - Why?

David - Surprise for you

Paul ties a dark black cloth on Prince's eyes and ask

Paul - Can you see anything captain?

Prince - Nope! (shakes his head)
