Chapter 62: FAMILY REUNION
“Thank you so much to all of you here, guys. Your presence means so much to me especially in this night when I am finally turning eighteen. Just like what my best friend Sabrina has said, I can finally do anything that I want. I can finally get my driver’s license although I’m not really interested in driving my own car, I can finally go to parties, and I can finally go to places that I want without asking for someone’s permission.” I smiled as I tried to look for Lance and Sabrina from the crowd. “And last but definitely not the least, I thank God for letting me reach this age. And I know I still have so many things and struggles to face in the future but I will remain grateful because I know that I have people beside me who’s always been there to support me and make me happy when I feel sad. So guys, let’s celebrate this very special night of mine by doing all the things that we want! Let’s get drunk and dance the night away!”

As soon as my speech ended, I walked down the stage and ran towards Sabrina and Lance who immediately hugged me. “You did really well there, huh?” said Lance.

“You nailed it, babe!” Sabrina added.

“Well, do you also think I could pass as the next president of United States?’

“Oh God, please no.”

I laughed together with Lance then we sat at our table while talking to each other. At least I still have them with me so I no longer have to sit here alone, staring at the people. “Wait, Sophie. We actually have a surprise for you.” Sabrina said in the middle of our conversation.

“Huh? What is it?”
