"Tss ang sungit mo." she pouted, "And I don't look like a clown, masyado ka lang boyish kaya 'di mo alam 'to..."

Nagsimula na sya, at naisip kong itanong sakanya ang tungkol sa poster ko. "Mèi mei nakita mo ang pinaka-malaking poster ko?"

Finally, I noticed what was missing.

"Anong poster?" She acted like she knew nothing, but she is too obvious, she knows where it is.

"Yung nakadikit sa taas ng headboard ng kama ko." I pointed the place from the mirror, "I don't remember taking it off..."

"I-I don't know..." utal na sagot nya pa, nag mamaang-maangan.

"Okay, sabi mo eh..." I said with a teasing voice.

"Jièjie anong klaseng suot yan?" she suddenly said.

"Sabi mo pamasyal?!" angil ko, and even turned around, "Aesthetic, hindi ba?"

"Yung dress naman, may aatendan tayo eh!" she pouted at tila gusto pa'ng magdabog, she didn't inform me dammit!

"Hindi mo sinabi eh!" I yelled back to her; I was wearing some oversized jeans and shirt kaya siguro ganon ang reaksyon nya.

"Oo nga pala..." halakhak nya, pagkatapos kong magbihis ay pinagsuot nya pa ako ng heels.

"Yan bagay sayo..." pumapalakpak pa sya.

"Whatever you say mei mei." I rolled my eyes.

"Tara!" She pulled me outside and luckily, I know how to use these heels, if not. Nasubsob na ako at magmumukhang tanga.

"Ah wait jiè jie I forgot our present nasa back yard yon binalot ni māmā kanina..." she said and pulled me to the door.

"Kunin mo na hihintayin nalang kita—" I said.

"Mabigat 'yon tulungan mo 'ko." she pouted but I was giving her those stares, you don't get me. Your styles are old.

"E ano ba kase yon?" I asked with a tone of annoyance.

"Basta tulungan mo nalang ako jie Zhubao, qing?" she even made a duck lips and pupy eyes, muntanga.

"Bùshì..." I crossed my arms.

"Qing?" she said as she faced palm.

"Hao de..." hinila ko sya at binuksan ang pinto. "Let's—"

"SURPRISEE!!" they all yelled that jolted me

"Happy Birthday, Zhubao." Shaina gave her gift to me.

"Happy Birthday, beautiful," Allerioh greeted, he even took my hand for a kiss before giving me a bouquet of purple tulips.

"Shengri kuaile..." mama and Yel chorused and gave her a tight hug.

"Xie xie, meigeren dou." I smiled and went to the visitors.

"Hello guys thank youu..."  hindi maalis ang ngiti sa mga bibig ko, pati ang mata ay kumikislap sa saya.

"You're welcome..." sabay sabay nilang sabi.

"Hoy, kaya pala mei!" I gave her a glare.

"Ano ginagawa ko?" she asked.

"Ayon yung poster oh!!!" sabay turo nya sa mini stage saka nag halukipkip.

"Ah ako naglagay nyan, sabi ni tita eh..." sabat ni  Rioh.

"Tss, kanina ko pa yan hinahanap..." I said and sighed, but I can't help but to notice the bruise on Rioh's lip. "Bakit ka may pasa sa mukha, Rioh?"
