"It'll be a great day, especially today."

I thought to myself as I got out of my bed and opened my wardrobe. Finally, it was my 18th Birthday, it was finally the day that my parents promised to make it the most memorable one, with the best present every girl would love and die for. I never really gave it much thought, however. Instead, all i wanted to do in the morning was to meet up with my teammates to celebrate my birthday in the morning before having a party in the night in my home. I picked my favourite robe, The Robe of Sea Daemon and hung it on one of the hangers in my bathroom as i washed up, put my on clothes and left the house in a hurry.

At the Gates of Reblodeux, Reita and Jamie waited for me. Jamie twirling with his braids, he seemed patient as if he didn't mind me turning up late. And always smiling sweetly. As for Reita.... He had his arms folded, he leaned against a lamp post. When he noticed me, he combed his hair with his fingers and rolled his eyes and mumbled something that sounded like, "Oh, great..Late as always..", as i approached them. When Jamie noticed me, he ran towards me, hugged me tightly and wished me a "Happy 18th Birthday!" before giving me a kiss on the cheek.

"Gee, you're getting older eh?", Reita gave me half smile, well, not that he was not older than i was.

"And lovelier too, of course!", Jamie added, still smiling.

I was glad, happy, contented, it was a really good feeling that I just couldn't describe at all. It was rarely that Reita and Jamie would be hanging out with me on my other birthdays. Usually, Reita would excuse himself, claiming that he willl be busy with other stuff that he wouldn't tell me what it was, but which seemed more likely to me that he preferred sleeping at home than celebrate my brithday with me.

"So..Where to?", Reita looked at me from the corner of his eye. "Caz if you've got no plans, I'd rather be grinding, Y'know."

I sulked, wondering if that was all that pretty boy could say, which i obviously figured he already had it all planned except that he refused to admit he did it. Before i was about to engage in a arguement with Reita, Jamie pinched his arm and he yelled.

"Don't be such a wet blanket, you! We should treat her like a princess today! Birthdays only come once in a year, I'm sure you know that."

"WHAT-EVER.", Reita grumbled, rolled his eyes again before dragging Jamie and I along.

Reita brought us to the beach, which i assume that if I want my day to be the best throughout, the place we should head has to be his favourite. Reita searched for a suitable spot before laying out the mat, while Jamie took out the lunch boxes. The smell of cheese was so strong. I could smell it when i was waiting for them to have everything set up before joining them. To keep myself occupied for the little moment, I played guessing games on my own, wondering what food did Jamie prepare specially for me.

"You can come over now", Reita called as he sat down and yawned. I walked over and sat inbetween the both of them. I smiled, because this would also be one of the best and greatest start for my birthday.

"Here." Jamie passed me one of the lunch boxes. "It's made by me and with a little help from Reita."

"Edible?", I joked.

"YES.", the both of them assured me and pushed my head down gently.

"C'mon, let's tuck in already.", Reita complained, obviously feeling hungry.

I opened my lunchbox, true enough, it was pasta with sweet sphagetti sauce filled with small chunks of shallots and mushrooms with melted cheese on top of the sauce. I squealed, and hugged them. They gave me a shocked expression as if someone pinched them or something. But the reaction after that was different, Jamie laughed, Reita pushed me away from himself gently.

"Party pooper Reita." I sticked my tongue out at him. He ignored me and ate his food quietly. After finishing the food, we played along the beach waters. The water felt warm, probably because of the hot sun, but if felt relaxing to the feet. I reached out and held both of their hands, Jamie's on my right and Reita's on my left. We walked along the beach, which was the first time, Reita would ever smile at me, I wished, that if i had something that could capture that image, it will be really memorable?

"Sorry, Ceres... We won't be able to attend your party tonight...", Jamie apologised.

It gave me a shock, something unexpected that came from them.

"We'll be busy with... Grinding. Not that your parents would even like us being around.", Reita gave excuses, slightly similiar to the ones he always use to try to run away from me. He frowned, refusing to even look at me when he spoke. He kept his eyes on the waves of the sea, pretending that I'm not even there at all as he let go of my hand. I refuse to loosen my grip on their hands, instead, i tighten it and tried to convince them that the party was about me, my 18th birthday and ONLY ME. My parents have no say in what friends i choose to mix with.

"Right.", that was all that came from Reita, as he pushed my hand away from his. Jamie remained silent, his eyes looking really upset, he tried not to show it, but i'm not stupid.

I thought to myself, that maybe I should just accept the fact that they didn't like to be left out and forgotten by me. Which i never actually had thought of them being left out. But it would be very selfish of me to insist on making them tag along for my sake even if they didn't like it at all.

"Okay.", I said, with no tone and no expression on my face.There was a long pause among us. Jamie looking elsewhere, Reita trying not to make any eye contact with me. And me, just feeling dead at that moment. But i decided to break the silence, it was pissing me off.

"There'll always be tomorrow, guys. Tomorrow will be a better day, I'm sure."

Jamie's face changed from a frown to a smile, he looked at me with his blue sappire eyes. I turned to Reita, he looked down at me, not because he was sad, because I was so much shorter than the both of them. He gave me the same half smile again, before insisting on playing awhile more before heading home so that i could get enough rest for my party tonight.

When i stepped at my doorstep, Jamie hugged me again, before saying goodbye. Reita just wished me happy birthday and left after that. I could feel that he felt uncomfortable the moment he step into the gates of my home. He looked like he didn't even want to go in and send me to the door step. I stepped in and head for the hall, where my parents were. I looked up, and saw my parents a tall man waiting for me. He had blonde hair that touched his shoulders, kind of. Even if he had nice eyes, i didn't bother to comment on that because his cold stare and proud looking face just made me felt like as if i made a mistake stepping into my own home.

"Ceres, my dear, come over here and sit with us.", my mother called.

"Uhm, friend of yours?", I looked at my father, still refusing to budge.

"Of course not, Ceres.", my father corrected. "Come now, sit with us."

I was trying to think of excuses to excuse myself away from them but was not able to because my mother dragged and forced me to sit with the man i do not know. I sat beside him, and shifted, moving away from him because i didn't want to even get close to him. He did not seem to bother my weird behaviour and waited for my parents to say something. My father looked at me.

"You've grown a lot, my precious, I'm sure you are aware of that."

"I am.", I raised one of my brow, wondering why my father would tell me something that sounded weird to me.

"This is Otis Hueruza, Ceres."

"Okay.", I interrupted, not interested in knowing that man at all.

"Your manners, young lady.", my mother reminded.

"As of now, you will be staying with him. We have decided to marry you into...", before my father finished his sentence, I got up, unable to control my anger.

"Is... This the birthday present you are talking about?... This man?! This is making no sense at all! What has my birthday got to do with marrying him?! I'm not even interested in getting married right now!"

What my parents did, was not only going to ruin my birthday, but also my entire life.

"Ceres, behave yourself!", my mother stared at me. My father sighed, shaking his head, he looked as if he had made the wrong decision. But he DID. He made a decision without my consent. I glared at my parents angrily, until i felt something warm on my shoulders, i turned to look. It was him, that Otis. He pulled me close to himself, as if pretending nothing happened at all. As if i have accepted and didn't mind getting married. He assured my parents that he will take good care of me. I shoved him away, of course i would, i didn't need him to take care of me and i didn't even liked him at all. He glared at me, i ignored and hurried into my room. I locked myself in, i didn't want to talk to anyone, i didn't want anyone to see me. I just wanted to be alone....

The party was cancelled, my father called it off. I layed motionless on my bed.. I felt lost, hurt and tired. I didn't know what to do.. I layed there for hours, till i felt sleepy, closed my eyes and went to bed...
