4TH YEAR

Rachel.P.O.V.

~AFTER COLLEGE~

"I must say, it was a beautiful day" I said to Greene, who has planned to stay home for the next few days.

"Tell me everything" she said, pulling me towards the couch.

*She's way too excited*

"I'll tell you, have some paitence and I really want a pizza now" I pleaded her, and my stomach was grumbling so loud.

"I'll order, I want one too" she said and got busy with her phone.

Joe was walking to my room. Why?
I must know.

I follow him.

He had a huge box in his hand, I'm sure it was for Greene. But I must know what that was. He has never bought something like that before.
Such a huge box?

"Joe!" I shout.
"Listen! Tell me everything..else!" And then I got stuck, because what would I tell next?  I didn't know!

"Else?" He asked.

Urgh how does he know my weaknesses?

"Else"
"Else, I'll tell mom" I said stumbling.

"Go ahead" he says with a smirk on his face.

"Let that be! What's in the box?" I ask him trounced.

"Better ask like that".

Attitude freak.

"Whatever"
"Just tell what's in" I asked him.

"Okay, wait"
"You can tell anyone.. but not Greene"
"Okay?" He asks it so well, that I can't deny.

"Okay". I said.

"So listen".
"I've basically planned a surprise for Greene".
"Just make sure she gets dressed up like a princess". He says like a lover boy.

"What's all this? Like why?" I asked him.
I was so confused.

"How can you forget?" He asked suprisingly.

It was none of their birthdays!

"Whats special today?" I ask him.

"It's our 4th year for today" he said and started to blush.

Is Joe serious about this!
4th year.
Wow
And celebration, I really don't want to spoil his good mood. He's some how being nice to me.

And I know why!
Because, he needs to hide this from Greene.
Ofcourse, he'll be sweet for today.

"Oh! Congratulations Joe!".

"Thank you".
"And don't you dare tell her anything please".
"We'll begin at 4:00"
"And we must end by 7:00"
"After 7:00, I've got some more plans with Greene" he explained.

Love is everywhere except in my life.

"So cute Joe"
"Don't worry everything will be fine"
"I'll manage" I said.

"But you didn't tell, what's in the box!" I wanted to know.

"Let that be a surprise for you too". He laughs.

Creep.

I was used to this. Every year. And I don't know how this went out of my mind.
And no wonder why Greene was
excited since morning. Though she didn't know anything, she was expecting something.

And hence, I realised why Joe wanted to take her today morning.
I had to understand.

I'm so dumb. Oh wait, I was excited too. (About the beach)
