Dear Readers,
I was out and about with Claire again and she was her usual self. She was being sassy and defensive about stalking me. Same as usual.
Later on I went to Ausse's place. It's a very nice place too as he has a rich family. It's got a swimming pool and everything. There was no big reason to go there other than borrowing notes but then, all of a sudden I get a big "SURPRISE!" greeting. Everyone had planned a surprise birthday party for me! Woo!
Of course, being this protagonist I have to be all grumpy. They are all lovely friends to have really, despite how silly the banter can get. Ausse had it all planned; a nice pool party with the girls wearing swimsuits and everything. That's what he was hoping for anyway, but out of the blue, it started pouring rain outside, putting a damper on his plans.
Disappointed but not beaten, Ausse revealed a room with a big poker table, especially for the occasion and announced that we were going to play strip poker. Boys vs girls. Whoever loses has to strip down into swimsuits. The poker table had "One Thousand Poker" inscribed on it, which was a nice touch.
The poker game itself was pretty exciting and dramatic. You know when someone reveals a good hand, then someone dramatically one ups them and the next one does even better again? It was kind of like that and had lots of suspense. Like something out of say... Maverick.
Things were looking good but unfortunately, we lost! Time for the boys to strip instead!
