After my parents left the apartment, arrangements for my birthday party was immediately made.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAZYv9QgBEha
Rachel being forgetful as always, had completely forgotten about our little quarrel and took me shopping. She said she'll buy my suit herself, I protested of course, knowing Rachel I know she'll buy me the most expensive suit she lays eyes on, but she insisted and I didn't like to break her heart.

This birthday party was a bad idea, but hopefully it can distract me a little from the problems I have. I called Dr. Harper last night and he told me they haven't found out anything yet, I had spent half of the month that I was expelled here, but they have found literally nothing all these time.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAKO626UIgXl
I was a mess the past few days, I spent most of my time in my room, thinking.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAt5vxUpxxnD
Well, overthinking.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAIBuUDAWhl1
But I eventually came out of my room, and distracted myself with this coming party. It's all in my professors hands now, and I can't do anything about it. So why not enjoy my birthday, at least?
633Please respect copyright.PENANAJYVidVmj0L
My birthday was today. After taking a shower, and wearing the Armani suit Rachel bought me, I was ready to go.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAJKB5MhRqQE
I stared at my reflection in the mirror one more time, and smiled.
633Please respect copyright.PENANATvhPE34fpj
Rachel definitely has a nice taste. The suit's color, together with the ties, matched perfectly with the way I had styled my hair and my brown- green eyes. If I say so myself.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAL9ZQdHdjPY
I put on some Hugo boss perfume on, and grabbed keys to Rachel's car, because I don't own a car.
633Please respect copyright.PENANA31t2x8n4KM
I drove Rachel's Nissan Altima, thankfully it was it's gray color and not some girly bright colors like pink or red.
633Please respect copyright.PENANA54KuImmeb4
We had a little problem with choosing the place, but my mother said she had a friend who owned an event hall in Louisville. So I was on my way Annabelle's event hall.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAOMMM40hg2c
I arrived at the place, the outside was gorgeous, there was a nice garden surrounding the place, full of colorful flowers.
"Welcome sir" a guy in his teenage years said.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAD3qrZl45oV
"Thank you" I smiled and nodded at him, as he got in Rachel's car to park it.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAHZ4vuMyP3w
Some of my high school friends, and my parent's friends has arrived before me. But that wasn't why my jaw was nearly dropped to the ground. The inside was even more amazing.
633Please respect copyright.PENANALwdTkp2WkC
The beige curtains, and tablecloths looked very luxurious with the brown ground, there were pink flowers on the tables (I told my mom not to put on flowers on them, it will like a wedding) which surprisingly matched the beige color very well.
633Please respect copyright.PENANANmxbLqicMf
A nice slow music was playing, and I saw my parents shaking hands with a few of my friends. That was when I saw Dave smiling at whatever my mom was saying to him.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAQMtstYJydT
I grinned and walked towards them.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAThq3tqRloG
"Hi" I said. They all stared at me, smiling, and greeted me warmly.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAxwy9IbaEZo
"Hello, son" my parents said.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAuaCgcnPtqt
"Hello, Nathan. Happy birthday" Dave said, we hugged and patted each other on the back. I was so glad he was here, I missed him very much.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAPxwbQHzzK3
"Thank you, Dave" I said and let him go, he was grinning. I called him the moment the party was decided and invited him. My party wouldn't be complete without him.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAosHMhKudm5
"Dave is very kind to come all the way from Florida for your birthday, Nathan." My father smiled at Dave.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAtJqDjEt6fY
Dave scratched the back of his neck from embarrassment "It's my pleasure, Nathan is my closest friend after all, Mr. Evans"
633Please respect copyright.PENANAhGAnihnxba
"Please call me Jacob, you're like a family to us, son" My father said.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAdoYy2F4agi
"Alright sir- I mean Jacob" Dave mumbled and I smiled politely at my father.
633Please respect copyright.PENANASNKr0Ndxac
"I got you a present" He smiled, and handed me a small package that I haven't noticed he was holding in his hands.
633Please respect copyright.PENANA4li2imLyvM
I stared at the small rectangular package and opened it up, I smiled when I saw none other than a gray Rolex watch.
633Please respect copyright.PENANADVbY2dFYLK
"I... figured no one uses his time as productively as you" Dave said nervously.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAnMkTNxsBqp
"Thank you, Dave. It's splendid" I said as I put it back in the rectangular box. And handed it to the banquet server who had extended his hand to take my birthday presents to the large present table. I smiled at his kindness, and grabbed two glasses of red wine for me and Dave, from the tray he was holding.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAQKjjOhtQXl
I handed one to Dave who gladly took it, and smiled. We soon left my parents and talked about all the things I have missed back in Florida.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAegA2p3yHxd
"Dave, I'm in huge trouble" I finally told him when no one was around.
Dave frowned and sipped on his wine.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAAUJYU5DpJf
"What's going on?" He asked "I noticed you were not yourself when you were packing, I thought you were just tired"
633Please respect copyright.PENANAmu05xu8jft
I shook my head and sighed "It has nothing to do with that, you know I don't care about those things"
633Please respect copyright.PENANAGRIypGhc5y
"Then what's wrong?" He asked, sounding worried, and still frowning.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAJw4pRPGqkU
"I have been expelled for a month" I blurted out. Feeling the pain in my chest again, I knew this party was a distraction to me, but Dave was my friend and he had the right to know what's going on in my life.
633Please respect copyright.PENANArftauZsIxU
After all, I know every little dark secret of Dave. So why not trust him the way he trusts me?
633Please respect copyright.PENANAH2M8xwCG2F
"What do you mean?" He said, and gulped. "Y-you have been expelled? Why?"
633Please respect copyright.PENANAsWnqg20Tne
"It's a long story" I mumbled.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAkMcTZSyV8P
"Oh god. What's the reason though?" He asked. As he adjusted his tie, feeling breathless and angry.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAOPABCA76BH
"They think... I have stolen the filling materials in the lab Dr. Harper has given me permission to work in" I explained.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAPPzGDPIKVz
"You're kidding..." Dave murmured. He ran his hands through his hair, and took a deep breath. "So the dental filling materials are stolen?"
633Please respect copyright.PENANACp1RKE7nyL
"Yes." I replied.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAaTcql9kBtE
"From the university lab?"
633Please respect copyright.PENANAOQkwpxeEQf
"Yes."
633Please respect copyright.PENANAXSRDCcTK0V
"Who would do that though?"
633Please respect copyright.PENANAdxY3kJFR43
"I don't know. I don't blame them, it costs a lot and it's the university's teaching materials"
633Please respect copyright.PENANAxvhzU8NVzJ
"I know. But they don't have the right to accuse you of stealing them."
633Please respect copyright.PENANAWoHIy4zAP8
"They're right though, I should have taken care of the laboratory, it was my responsibility"
633Please respect copyright.PENANAMuVJxGeEsl
"But-"
633Please respect copyright.PENANAa6JqiNnC1D
"It's all in the past now, Dave."
633Please respect copyright.PENANAe6tjqenZq7
"Okay. What are you going to do?"
633Please respect copyright.PENANAymgX2URtSg
"I don't know. I mean... I can't do anything except wait for Dr. Harper and pray I won't be suspended this year, or worse suspended from university terminally"
633Please respect copyright.PENANAWBpBDsq4zj
"Don't say bullshit. They know you..."
633Please respect copyright.PENANA4Th16OMQER
"That's not enough"
633Please respect copyright.PENANAaIjRhdQcp6
"But-"
633Please respect copyright.PENANAtMPiQKPRRB
Before Dave could say anymore, we were interrupted.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAXyfNnPpiwP
"Nathan?"
633Please respect copyright.PENANAJAvJTBNr0x
Me and Dave both turned turned towards the voice, and saw a girl walking towards us with a kind smile on her face, she was with a guy who was somehow taller than her, and... I could see a relationship vibe here.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAPrK1EY7Vzb
"It's me. Emma" The girl exclaimed, and extended her hand for me to shake.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAhu0eYvUSyC
"Hello Emma" I said casually and shook her hand. Then I stared at the guy who was with her.
633Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZKLOaXn6g
"This is Samuel Davies. My boyfriend" Emma said and smiled as she said the word boyfriend. My suspicions were correct. I knew it's him. I was about to ask her if she's happy that she lied to everyone and hid her relationship. But I pressed my lips into a thin line and said nothing.
633Please respect copyright.PENANA0AgRqlhsO7
We shook hands with Samuel too and I kept staring at the guy who had broken a girl without even knowing it.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAAqSRKamQPy
"Hello. Just call me Sam. Emma has told me about you and your sister" Sam said, smiling politely.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAQkyh3kKVTe
"Oh, has she?" I said sarcastically.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAbxeBFW5kwh
"Yes. It's nice to finally meet you" Sam said with a smile. Totally oblivious to my sarcastic tone.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAvf5qdV2K61
Okay. Now I know why Jessie had a crush on him. Either this guy is just kind and stupid enough to believe his whatever Emma tells him , or he fakes innocence.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAsmg3NIxutb
"Where're Rachel and Jessie by the way?" Emma asked, looking around in search for the girls. Dave choked on his wine, I frowned in confusion but he just smiled sheepishly.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAWOyWMc8iSz
"They're not here yet" I said. "Who invited you by the way?"
633Please respect copyright.PENANAsVJWhbBzn8
"Rachel did." Emma smiled and grabbed Sam's hand."She invited both me and Sam"
633Please respect copyright.PENANAehfQZkKj56
"I see" I mumbled and stared at Sam looking at Emma adoringly.
633Please respect copyright.PENANALFtPHYE83P
"You're taking the same classes as Jessie?" I couldn't help but ask.
633Please respect copyright.PENANARWsD29Uyo5
"Yeah. Me and Jessie are taking nearly all of our classes in English literature" Emma smiled " Jessie and Rachel are my closest friends, that's why Rachel invited me, I hope you don't mind"
633Please respect copyright.PENANAGLP0rSMRsW
What? She has no idea that Jessie has asked out Sam I guess. I stared at Sam to check his reactions. Just as I expected, he pressed his lips into a thin line and looked at everywhere and everything but at us.
633Please respect copyright.PENANA9BuQKvPnNR
"Of course I don't mind." I smiled. And handed the empty glass I was holding to a banquet server.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAWzvNW7K6A0
Dave patted my shoulder and walked away from us. Leaving me with Emma and Sam. A faster song was playing, and I could see Dave showing off his dancing skills in front of everyone.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAsmfgELp5st
I smiled at my friend, and shook my head.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAUUtfkz7lyh
"Oh. That's Rachel. I'll come back in a minute baby, stay with Nathan if you want " Emma suggested and gave her boyfriend a peck on his lips.
633Please respect copyright.PENANA2iSdDzv4se
"It's all right, I'll come with you" Sam said and grabbed Emma's hand. But he stopped in his track the moment he saw Jessie with Rachel.
633Please respect copyright.PENANArDviwlEzpI
"I'll stay with Nathan. You go and have fun sweetheart" Sam said, and smiled at Emma. Emma ran to her friends leaving Sam with me.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAE2SmwY8123
I stared at Sam and realized this was a great opportunity to put a stop to this nonsense and the way Sam is treating Jessie.
633Please respect copyright.PENANAnE9G7M1jg2
"You did a great job, for not telling Emma" I said.
