In the preparations for the feast (S1 Ep.8-11)

Thursday, September 26

At one day to my birthday, there was a lot to do, still. And as such I asked Joan to help me, as we have worked together after school we had this time already planned, but today we were just preparing the feast for tomorrow.

Charlie was also helping, he loves music and loves to make his own mixes, so he staid with the music selection for the party to his responsibility and as he always has some funny ideas for entertainment, he would take care the games and activities too.

To my surprise, when I came home from school, he was already working on the tables with the boys. The decorations, the gifts and the food were my responsibility, but, while I was waiting for Joan, I start doing a little snack for all of us.

As they say, who's here "just in time"? Joan, but she didn't come alone, the girls came with her. Tomorrow is my birthday, however, this day was full of surprises.

Rose: Oh, you all come!

Monic: Friends aren't just to come eat and drink!

Joan: Monic is right, but these snacks are with very good looks!

Sofie: Were you counting with us?

Rose: I wasn’t, I thought you girls had already begun the training schedule for this season!

Dianne: And we have. I coordinated the cheerleading practice with the practice of Sofie at Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The other days we rehearse, but today we are here to transform this space in your dream party!

Rose: Thanks, girls!

Sofie: If you weren't counting on us, why you've prepared so many sandwiches?

Rose: Look at the garden!

Joan: OH! The boys are here!?

Rose: Would you help me make more sandwiches?

Monic: I take care of the juices.

Sofie: I help Monic.

Dianne: It's going to be a long overtime!

Joan: Don't play hard to get! The gleam in your eyes does not deceive.

Dianne: I don't deny that I am happy... – Inspired deeply. - I don't know how to address him!

Rose: Let it flow. Don't think too much, don't force it, let it simply happen!

Monic: We have "expert". Tell us the news.

Rose: What's news?

Monic: Roose… You also have the shiny eye.

Joan looked at me with a scared air. Seemed to fear that I talk about Seth.

Rose: The advice I gave, that's what I do when I lack inspiration for my drawings.

Dianne: Rose, why don't we put some of your paintings as decoration?

Rose: With the summer job I ran out of time to make new ones.

Dianne: We use those you have.

Rose: Hum… I don’t know!

Joan: Let's have lunch first and then we take care of everything.

Rose: Guys, look who's here!

"Thanks, Joan!" I was getting nervous with the idea of exhibiting my paintings. In the fashion show, I displayed at school almost had a heart attack, I'm going to have enough attention tomorrow for being my birthday, I don't need extra emotions.

When Diane saw the decorations that we had, forgot about the painting’s idea. We spent the rest of the afternoon between arrangements, and a lot of monkey business. Charlie and the boys went out to get pizza for dinner and the overtime continued till all be ready, practically.
