Sweet Cream
I can still taste the greasy sweet cream of the birthday cake I ate that night. But it's not the taste that matters. The taste wasn't that good either.
Last week we had a School Christian Fellowship retreat. About 80 people were there. Students and teachers. It was quite fun. It's been a long time since my last retreat so it was refreshing but also very tiring >.<
We were there only for 1 night and 2 days. And that night was somebody's birthday. One of my student turned out 15 that night. The one that gave me the cute little mug I mentioned in my previous post. So we wanted to have a surprise party, well not exactly a party, just a cake, blowing candles etc. The same old ritual.
00:00 AM. She went into the room and yeah you know what happened. Everybody was saying "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" dan one of the guy (the guy who has a crush on her) brought that cake. She was blushing. Then she blew the candles after the "make a wish" part. Her friends started to demand "FIRST CAKE! FIRST CAKE!" Well you know. They wanted to know whether she would be brave enough to give the first cake to the guy she always has a crush on. But I already knew she wouldn't do it. It's too much of a pressure. My guess was she would give the first cake to her best friend.
She said, "First cake is supposed to be for my parents. But they're not here. I guess I know whom I'm going to give it to."
She looked at me and said, "Mr. Ronal."
She gave me the cake covered with brown sweet cream. The FIRST CAKE. It felt so good. I shook her hands and said Happy Birthday.
Then the SECOND CAKE was given to a guy friend. Not her crush. Just a good friend which apparently has already had a girlfriend who was there also watching the whole thing. When the guy got the cake, I think the girlfriend got upset and left the room. And the guy immediately chase after her, maybe trying to explain something. And finally he didn't eat the cake and gave it to somebody else. Hahaha. Just like in a Korean drama movie.
