“May I ask ma'am, what is your name? We've been gathering here for so long, and yet, we didn't even bother to hear or even see your name.” I asked.

“Ah, yeah! I'm Criza, don't call me ma'am, it's too formal. Just call me Riza” she said.

“Oh, I see. I'm Jimmy, you can call me Jim, Riza” I said.

“I am Britney, just call me pretty!” Britney said.

“I am Sam, just call me----Sam” Sam said as if she's not sure what she's said.

“And I am Lyka just call me love!” Lyka said and wink at Criza. Criza was just mesmerizing in those introductions.

“Nice to meet you girls! I'm glad to know your name. I've been looking at your friendship from a far.”

“Really? I'm so happy to hear that, Riza” I said.

We’re done with Britney’s late birthday celebration, and we’re currently chatting with the owner of Milk Tea.

“You're such the best actress, gorgeous Riza!” Britney talks to her. We're done with our celebration, so she chatted with the owner of Milk Tea shops.

“What are you! Don't be like that! I'm just happy with the friendship of the four of you.”

I was about to speak when she spoke again.

“You know, friendship should be valued. Just like your family is valued, so are our friends. Well, there are times when it's inevitable that there will be misunderstandings. It's only natural in a circle of friends because That's the measure of how long you'll be friends. That's the measure of how strong your friendship is. That's how lucky you are with each other.” Criza said.

Reason for Sam to sigh. When we both turned to look at her, we just laughed at the same time because of her ugly face.

“Don't cry Sam, your face turn into ugly crying witch!” said Britney while laughing out loud.

“Shut up Barney! I'm crying because of Criza” she said then wiped her tears.

“It's just like that! Your reaction was, look like an equivalent of winning a lottery!” Lyka complains to Sam.

“Shut up Charade!”

We laughed even harder at what Sam said to Lyka, this is how we would tease each other's. For us, it's not really a tease, it's a compliment to each one of us.

We are teasing Britney as Barney because it suits her body. We tease Lyka as Charade because she really looks like her. I'm sorry girls if you're reading this. No personal issues, just work only. That day I was happy to come home, if only my good and freaking sister hadn't ruined it.

“Oh, are we having fun today?” Lea opened up to me when I got to our house.

“Why is it bad? Are you jealous of me?” I asked her.

“Why should I be jealous of you? Eh, you look like an alien!” Leah's teasing of me caused me to beat her. That night, I slept peacefully, but there was still hatred in my heart.
