The school's trip has already finished a month ago. There are two days left before Prima's birthday.
Now, she was eating lunch with Audrey.
"How fortunate you have this tasty, delicious lunch box. And there are desserts here! Can you give me some?" Audrey envied and asked.
"OK, take what you like."
"Bless you≧▽≦! Is that your mum make for you?"
Prima nodded.
"Wow, I admire you@V@," after a second, Audrey said, "Oh, I almost forget the day after tomorrow is your birthday, isn't it? Do you welcome me?"
"Sure! But sorry, I don't intend to hold a birthday party."
"Why?"
"I have no money. You know, just the food, it spends me a lot of money!"
"I see..." Audrey smile reluctantly.
"But you can come to my home and celebrate with me tomorrow if you insist. My family won't here till the day after tomorrow noon."
"I am sorry this time. There is something I have to do tomorrow."
"That's a sad coincidence." said Prima.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Tomorrow afternoon, Prima was going to buy the dinner food. As she exited the market, she heard someone said,
"Prima?"
She turned to that guy. He grinned and said,
"Oh, that's really you. Are you just finishing buying dinner food?"
She nodded and asked,
"And you?"
"I just borrow some books from library," he glanced at her, and then he asked, "Tomorrow is your birthday, isn't it?"
"How do you know?" she was surprise.
"I heard it from Audrey incidentally. Do you welcome me?"
"Yes, sure! But I don't intend to hold a birthday party."
"No, I didn't mean that. I just want to celebrate with you."
"So, let's go home!"
"You say now?!"
"Is there something wrong?"
He shook his head and followed her. When they were going home, they met some hoodlums half-way.
"Wow, look! There is a lovely lady here." They walked toward Prima. But Blair defended her from the molestation. They were resentful.
"Who are you? Mind yours own business or you are her little boyfriend?" they provoked him.
"Anyhow, you can't harass her!" He glared at them.
"Are you grabbing her with us now? You are so bold. Brothers! Go and beat him!" their leader bossed.
"Run! You can't fight with them. They have four people here!" Prima swayed his arm and begged.
"But they harass you. I never condone them." Blair said and went toward to fight them. She was anxious. But three of them had already been struck down and there were some wound in his arm. When he was carelessly, the one of them bide this time went to bit him from his back side. She saw that and went toward to hamper him.
She thought she would be struck originally, but she felt nothing. She looked back curiously and saw Oliver was standing in front of her and that guys had been struck down. After a while, they ran away.
"Oliver?" they doubted.
"What are you doing here?" he asked.
"We are going home originally, but we meet the hoodlums... as you see."
"We? Going home?" Oliver asked.
"No, you misconstrue what I said. It means that he goes home with me is just want to celebrate with me."
"Celebrate what?"
"Her birthday. Do you come with us?" Blair asked.
"If you are busy now, you can opt not to come with us."
"No, I am idle. I go with you."
"But are you okay, Blair? Your arm is bleeding now!" she said.
"Maybe..." he smiled reluctantly.
She took some adhesive tapes from her pocket and stuck on his arm.
When they went back home, Prima was busy to cooking the dinner.
"Let us help you!" Blair offered.
"No, you are my guest."
"But today is your birthday."
Prima agreed and nodded. Suddenly, she cried because she felt blissful.
"Sorry><! Don't cry. What we had done wrong?"
She shook her head and said,
"It's just because I am glad."
"So, stop crying." Oliver soothed.
She turned tears into smiles.
