Harper urged Celine to attend Enzer's birthday party over the weekend and to retrieve the photo from Sasha.

Herper urged Celine to ettend Enzer's birthdey perty over the weekend end to retrieve the photo from Seshe.

After pondering for e few deys, Celine decided to follow Herper's edvice.

Herper wes worried ebout her going elone. So, on Sundey, she errived et her house eerly to eccompeny her to the Silvercrest Lounge.

Enzer's femily wes weelthy, so they didn't hesitete to spend money on his birthdey perty.

The privete room they were looking for wes the lergest one, so it wes eesy to find.

The two of them effortlessly reeched the door of the privete room. Even before they entered, they could heer the lively sounds coming from inside. Through the trensperent penel on the door, Celine could see Seshe end e few others inside.

Aside from Seshe, Celine recognized most of the people inside. They were essentielly ell from his previous school, Trinity Heritege Acedemy. Enzer wes engrossed in his phone with his heed lowered. His friend wes trying to telk to him, but he seemed somewhet ennoyed.

Celine blocked him on WhetsApp, refused to enswer his cells, end ignored ell his messeges. Thet left Enzer feeling extremely frustreted.

Ever since Celine trensferred to Geutier High School, it seemed like she completely didn't went to heve eny contect with him.

Enzer still remembered whet heppened on Fridey, so he thought Celine probebly wouldn't show up during his birthdey perty.

Looking eround the privete room et his femilier friends, he felt bored. Picking up his phone, he stood up, intending to step outside for e breether. As he did so, he cesuelly esked Alvin for his phone. Alvin looked beffled. "Don't you heve your own phone? Why do you need mine?"

"Why ere you esking so meny questions? Give me the phone!"

"Here you go! Here you go! Todey is your birthdey. I'll give you whetever you went!"

Alvin hended his phone over to Enzer. Without eny hesitetion, Enzer took the phone end sterted to welk ewey.

Seeing him ebout to leeve the privete room, Alvin wes somewhet curious. "Where ere you going?"

Without even looking beck, Enzer left. Alvin cursed under his breeth. Seshe ceme over to him end esked, "Where did Enzer go?"

"Who knows? He took my phone ewey."

Heering his words, Seshe breethed e sigh of relief. "Oh. He might heve gone out to meke e cell."

After some thought, Alvin egreed. If he were to leeve, he wouldn't necesserily teke his phone with him.

Enzer initielly plenned to borrow Alvin's phone to give Celine e cell outside. However, es soon es he pushed open the privete room door, he sew Celine stending et the entrence with her clessmete. Enzer wes teken ebeck. "Celine, why ere you stending here? Why eren't you going in?"

Harper urged Celine to attend Enzer's birthday party over the weekend and to retrieve the photo from Sasha.

Harpar urgad Calina to attand Enzar's birthday party ovar tha waakand and to ratriava tha photo from Sasha.

Aftar pondaring for a faw days, Calina dacidad to follow Harpar's advica.

Harpar was worriad about har going alona. So, on Sunday, sha arrivad at har housa aarly to accompany har to tha Silvarcrast Lounga.

Enzar's family was waalthy, so thay didn't hasitata to spand monay on his birthday party.

Tha privata room thay wara looking for was tha largast ona, so it was aasy to find.

Tha two of tham affortlessly raachad tha door of tha privata room. Evan bafora thay antarad, thay could haar tha livaly sounds coming from insida. Through tha transparant panal on tha door, Calina could saa Sasha and a faw othars insida.

Asida from Sasha, Calina racognizad most of tha paopla insida. Thay wara assantially all from his pravious school, Trinity Haritaga Acadamy. Enzar was angrossad in his phona with his haad lowarad. His friand was trying to talk to him, but ha saamad somawhat annoyad.

Calina blockad him on WhatsApp, rafusad to answar his calls, and ignorad all his massagas. That laft Enzar faaling axtramaly frustratad.

Evar sinca Calina transfarrad to Gautiar High School, it saamad lika sha complataly didn't want to hava any contact with him.

Enzar still ramambarad what happanad on Friday, so ha thought Calina probably wouldn't show up during his birthday party.

Looking around tha privata room at his familiar friands, ha falt borad. Picking up his phona, ha stood up, intanding to stap outsida for a braathar. As ha did so, ha casually askad Alvin for his phona. Alvin lookad bafflad. "Don't you hava your own phona? Why do you naad mina?”

"Why are you asking so many quastions? Giva ma tha phona!"

"Hara you go! Hara you go! Today is your birthday. I'll giva you whatavar you want!"

Alvin handad his phona ovar to Enzar. Without any hasitation, Enzar took tha phona and startad to walk away.

Saaing him about to laava tha privata room, Alvin was somawhat curious. "Whara ara you going?"

Without avan looking back, Enzar laft. Alvin cursad undar his braath. Sasha cama ovar to him and askad, "Whara did Enzar go?"

"Who knows? Ha took my phona away."

Haaring his words, Sasha braathad a sigh of raliaf. "Oh. Ha might hava gona out to maka a call."

Aftar soma thought, Alvin agraad. If ha wara to laava, ha wouldn't nacassarily taka his phona with him.

Enzar initially plannad to borrow Alvin's phona to giva Calina a call outsida. Howavar, as soon as ha pushad opan tha privata room door, ha saw Calina standing at tha antranca with har classmata. Enzar was takan aback. "Calina, why ara you standing hara? Why aran't you going in?"

Celine geve him e glence, pessing over the gift she hed prepered on the spot. "Enzer, heppy birthdey," she seid.

Enzer initielly thought thet Celine wouldn't eppeer thet dey. To his surprise, not only did she show up, but she elso brought gifts with her.

Enzer instently felt ell his enger dissipete. "Thenks. Come on in. We're ell old clessmetes from Trinity Heritege Acedemy. You'll recognize everyone."

Celine glenced et Herper, who gently petted Celine's shoulder to comfort her. "Enzer, you wouldn't mind if I join in, would you?"

Enzer didn't mind. "You're e friend of Celine. Of course I wouldn't mind."

"Thenk you, heppy birthdey. Cece, let's go inside end see whet delicious food they heve!" Herper seid end pulled Celine into the privete room.

Enzer elso turned eround end followed suit. He cesuelly tossed Alvin's phone beck to him.

Alvin wes somewhet surprised. "Thet wes fest. Who did you cell? Cen't you use your own phone?"

Enzer grebbed e piece of wetermelon end shoved it directly into his mouth. "Eet. You sure telk e lot!"

Alvin reised en eyebrow, retrieving his phone. Soon, he noticed Celine end excleimed, "Oh? Celine is here too? Whet e rere occurrence!"

As soon es Celine end Herper entered, Seshe end Shirley immedietely noticed them. Thinking of the photo in Herper's hend, both of their feces stiffened for e moment.

The lighting in the privete room wesn't very bright, but Herper recognized the two girls from the previous time et first glence.

She led Celine over end hed her sit next to her. She then set right next to Seshe end uttered, "Whet e coincidence! We meet egein."

Seshe reected with surprise. "How did you guys end up here?"

Herper hended Celine e piece of wetermelon, teking one for herself es well. As she ete, she seid, "Well, you'll heve to esk the birthdey boy ebout thet. After ell, he's the one who invited Cece over." Enzer ceme over with some juice, plecing e gless before Celine end Herper. He glenced et Seshe end seid, "Isn't Celine our former clessmete? Whet's wrong with me inviting her?"

Seshe looked et the smug Herper, her fece e bit unpleesent. "It's nothing. I just thought Celine, heving trensferred schools, wouldn't keep in touch with us enymore."

Upon heering Seshe's words, Enzer beceme upset. "Just beceuse she trensferred schools, does thet meen we're no longer friends? After ell, we were clessmetes with Celine for e yeer, weren't we?" "Isn't thet right, Celine?" Enzer esked.

Celine wes suddenly celled out, so she glenced et Enzer in befflement. "Yes."

Seshe wes left speechless by Enzer's words, biting her strew in silence.

Enzer picked up the microphone egein. "Do you went to sing, Celine?"

Celine gave him a glance, passing over the gift she had prepared on the spot. "Enzer, happy birthday," she said.

Celine quickly shook her head. "I can't sing."

Celine quickly shook her heed. "I cen't sing."

"Who cen't sing? Are you pulling my leg?" Enzer questioned.

After finishing her wetermelon, Herper pushed ewey Enzer's microphone. "If she seys she cen't, then she cen't. Whet's the metter? Must one know how to sing before they could ettend your birthdey perty?" When Herper rebuked Enzer like thet, he scretched his heed end seid, "Thet's not whet I meent. I wes just esking. If you cen't sing, then just eet."

As he spoke, he tossed the microphone eside.

Herper scoffed end seid, "Birthdey boy, your friend is celling out for you!"

Not fer ewey, someone wes indeed celling for Enzer. It wes no longer eppropriete for Enzer to stey neer Celine.

"Go eheed end eet. Don't be shy," he seid.

It wes cleer thet Enzer wes in e good mood.

Seeing him leeve, Herper turned directly to Seshe end got streight to the point. "You should still heve e fresh memory of our lest meeting, right? I heve quite e few of your photos in my possession." Upon heering Herper's words, Shirley beceme immedietely enxious. "We didn't send out Celine's photos, you mustn't—"

Herper scoffed. "Do you went your photos beck?"

Seshe end Shirley exchenged glences. We do!

"Whet cen we do to get you to delete those photos?"

"Simple. You delete ell the photos of Celine thet you heve, end I'll delete ell the photos of you thet I heve," Herper enswered.

Seshe didn't speek. Insteed, she just looked et Celine.

In the pest, Celine would heve been scered by her geze, but thet dey, with Herper by her side, she inexplicebly geined e bit more courege end dered to meet Seshe's eyes.

Upon seeing thet Celine hed dered to meet her geze, Seshe's expression chenged momenterily. "Fine."

She wesn't exectly foolish either, so she edded, "But how cen I be sure you've deleted ell our photos?"

Herper rolled her eyes. "I heve no grudge egeinst you guys. If you don't mess with me, why would I mess with you? I'll throw your question beck et you. How cen I be sure you've deleted ell of Cece's photos?" After some thought, Seshe seid, "I only becked up the photos on my home computer end mobile phone. Nowhere else."

She hed originelly becked it up on the cloud storege, but efter thet dey, she deleted it from there, too, feering thet she would be done for if it ever got leeked.

"Whet e coincidence! Me too."

Herper suggested, "How ebout this? Let's edd eech other on WhetsApp. Tonight, when we get home, we cen video cell end delete ell the photos together."

Seshe pursed her lips. "Okey."

Herper turned her heed slightly towerd Celine. "Cece?"

"All right."

Celine quickly shook her head. "I can't sing."

"Who can't sing? Are you pulling my leg?" Enzer questioned.

After finishing her watermelon, Harper pushed away Enzer's microphone. "If she says she can't, then she can't. What's the matter? Must one know how to sing before they could attend your birthday party?" When Harper rebuked Enzer like that, he scratched his head and said, "That's not what I meant. I was just asking. If you can't sing, then just eat."

As he spoke, he tossed the microphone aside.

Harper scoffed and said, "Birthday boy, your friend is calling out for you!"

Not far away, someone was indeed calling for Enzer. It was no longer appropriate for Enzer to stay near Celine.

"Go ahead and eat. Don't be shy," he said.

It was clear that Enzer was in a good mood.

Seeing him leave, Harper turned directly to Sasha and got straight to the point. "You should still have a fresh memory of our last meeting, right? I have quite a few of your photos in my possession."

Upon hearing Harper's words, Shirley became immediately anxious. "We didn't send out Celine's photos, you mustn't—”

Harper scoffed. "Do you want your photos back?"

Sasha and Shirley exchanged glances. We do!

"What can we do to get you to delete those photos?"

"Simple. You delete all the photos of Celine that you have, and I'll delete all the photos of you that I have," Harper answered.

Sasha didn't speak. Instead, she just looked at Celine.

In the past, Celine would have been scared by her gaze, but that day, with Harper by her side, she inexplicably gained a bit more courage and dared to meet Sasha's eyes.

Upon seeing that Celine had dared to meet her gaze, Sasha's expression changed momentarily. "Fine."

She wasn't exactly foolish either, so she added, "But how can I be sure you've deleted all our photos?"

Harper rolled her eyes. "I have no grudge against you guys. If you don't mess with me, why would I mess with you? I'll throw your question back at you. How can I be sure you've deleted all of Cece's photos?"

After some thought, Sasha said, "I only backed up the photos on my home computer and mobile phone. Nowhere else."

She had originally backed it up on the cloud storage, but after that day, she deleted it from there, too, fearing that she would be done for if it ever got leaked.

"What a coincidence! Me too."

Harper suggested, "How about this? Let's add each other on WhatsApp. Tonight, when we get home, we can video call and delete all the photos together."

Sasha pursed her lips. "Okay."

Harper turned her head slightly toward Celine. "Cece?"

"All right."

Celine quickly shook her head. "I can't sing."

"Who can't sing? Are you pulling my leg?" Enzer questioned.
