It was Maliki's birthday. We were back in school. Nothing much has happened in the last few months. My parents were mad about that night we had done stuff but we didn't do it again. We weren't allowed to spend the night in each others room since either. I was also forced to move back to my old room upstairs so 'we wouldn't be tempted' as Stephan had stated. I didn't bother arguing. Stephan and my parents also had an argument about suggesting that it would have been okay. With it being Maliki's birthday, they decided we could have the day off of school so we could celebrate. His mom had stopped by and Stephan hesitantly let her join us in celebration.
