When Covid came around, I could not visit my best friend all that often, in fact, the only time we could ever see each other was over zoom when we would watch animes together. One day, I received a message from her mother that asked me to come to her birthday party as a surprise. I was giddy all day when I agreed to go, because I was excited to surprise her, and also we haven’t seen each other in person for way, way too long. Her mother offered to take me since she knew my parents were always busy with the restaurant, and I happily took her up on it. I couldn’t hide my smile the entire way their, so I was kinda thankful for masks since it could hide my dumb smile.
Once we arrived, her mother said something along the lines of “I have a surprise for you!”, and in perfect timing, my best friend rounds the corner to look at her front door. Although it was around 9, we couldn’t contain ourselves to scream happily and run at each other, most likely disturbing the neighbors in the process. We hugged each other and said our greetings before we headed off to the backyard. The party had not started yet, so instead, we went to her backyard because my friend wanted to see my gifts earlier. It was a fun day filled with laughter and joy, and one that I am not inclined to forget anytime soon.
