A Little Intrigue

Gifts kept flooding in from everyone else at the party after I blew out the candles. We then each ate one tiny slice of cake since it was incredibly late, and kept the rest of the cake in the fridge of our building.

Some people chose to sleep for the one hour that remained before we had to wake up, while some of us preferred to stay up, like Aki and I. We used the extra time to make sure we had packed all the essential stuff we needed for the three months the tour covered.

Less than one hour remained before the bus we had rented, from the same company as Aeryx, arrived. The sunlight hitting my face while sleep-deprived was far from nice. Although we all were going to pay for it, the short party was worth it.

"Whose idea was the party?" I asked Aki as we both lay down on our bed.

She smirked, "I'm not telling you. No one will."

"Why? Is there a need to keep it secret?"

"Is there a need for you to know?"

"For my sanity."

"You're going to go crazy, then."
