Teacher's Girl (Aflyingwhale)

Chapter 27: Birthday Boy

EMMA's POV 

One Month Later -

"Hey Em, what are you doing? What is that?"

I didn't sit at our usual spot today for lunch because I was avoiding my friends.

Yet, Tiff and Carrie always seemed to know how to find me.

I was sitting in the empty gym bleachers, writing away in my notebook.

"Dear lan—oh my gosh, you're writing a love letter?"

Carrie peeked at my notebook and gasped.

"Guys! Keep it down!"

I hissed quickly and threw my gaze around, making sure no one was listening.

"And no, for your information, that’s not a love letter.

That's a birthday card,"

I said when I knew for sure we were the only people there.  "Mr.Hayes’ birthday is coming up?"

Tiff asked and I quickly put my hand over her mouth.

"Ssh, we agreed we're not using real names here,"

"Oh right, I meant is Bar Guy’s birthday coming up?"she corrected herself.  "Yup, March 14th,"I nodded.

"Oh, that's this Saturday.

What are you guys plan on doing?"

Carrie asked.

"Weplanned nothing because hedidn't like celebrating his birthdays.

But lam planning something.

After that amazing Valentine’s day dinner he planned for me, I have to do something spectacular in return,"

 "So what are you thinking?"

"At first I wanted to throw him a surprise party, but seeing as the three of us are the only people allowed to know about the relationship, a party with just us doesn’t seem right.

So, I thought about making dinner.

But he already did that for Valentine’s Day, so I wanna do something else,"

"Yeah, tell us what you're actually thinking,"

they laughed teasingly but I just rolled my eyes.

"So I’m thinking I’m gonna take him out for a little road trip,"

"Oh, fun! Where to?"

With him? Anywhere.

That was an inside joke that my friends wouldn't get.

So I just smiled at them and said, "There's a place,"

I "Uh-huh.

And you're not gonna tell us where,"

"Nope,"

"What, you think we'll spy on you guys?"

Tiff asked defensively.

"We're totally gonna spy on you guys,"

Carrie shrugged.

"Knew it,"

I pursed my lips, "Which is why it'll be a secret.

But just in case my mom called you guys, tell her we're going doing a movie marathon at the IMAX theater,"

"Covering for you is our full-time job now,"

Carrie joked.

"Don't worry, you two will be generously rewarded,"

"A road trip, huh? You and Bar Guy are gonna have so much fun,"

Tiff stopped for a moment and she rolled eyes as the realization hit her, "Man, I’m single AF,"

 Friday night rolled along and I couldn't be more excited.

I had planned and planned everything in detail for lan’s birthday surprise tomorrow.

Everything would be perfect and we'd love each other more and more.

I Eep! I texted lan again to make sure that he would be ready for tomorrow.

It was a simple text, I wrote "Sleep early tonight.Get ready for tomorrow. Love you." and I thought that was that, I was getting ready to go to sleep.

But suddenly, he called me up.

"Hello?"

I answered the call.

"What do you mean get ready for tomorrow?"

"I mean get ready.We're doing something fun,"

"What thing?"
