She called to remind her not to forget her special day. Zylii smiled into the phone. In all honesty she was one of her favourite pupils when she was back in preschool. She was always so helpful, bubbly, full of personality and not to mention the last to leave on an afternoon.

'Yes Ymani', Zy laughed into the phone. The now 7 year old was still stuck on her like crazy glue. 'I haven't forgotten your birthday. I'm actually on my way right now to you with your surprise.
She hoped that she got a kick out of the glittery DIY jewelry kit.

"Yessssssiiii", was squealed with joy from the other side of the phone

"Yessssssiiii", was squealed with joy from the other side of the phone. Zylii laughed. ' I'll see you in a little bit sweetie, tell your mom I'm already on my way'. Zy had volunteered to help out with the kids.

" Okay auntie Zylii, I will, see you soon". The line went dead. Zylii set her phone down on the passenger seat and gave her handy work one last look over before she placed it in the front passenger seat as well, then proceeded to climb into the drivers seat as Shout out to my Ex by Little Mix started playing in the background.

'Onward we go', she said strapped in, one hand on the steering wheel and the other aligning the rearview mirror.

She rubbed her eyes and then glanced over gently at her bedside table clock which read 9:45 am.

She was working the bar tonight, she smiled. Ty wondered who would tag along with her for this weekend. Last week it was Aracelli and Zylii. She'd just have to wait and see when it came down to it. She looked up at her breath taking  ceiling. Routinely admiring the spacey mural Aurmanii painstakingly painted there a couple of years ago as her  birthday gift at that time.

And as a bonus, she'd used glow in the dark paint that brought out the real beauty of the painting at night.
