With Winston's convincing suggestion, Colin lost his right to decide how he wanted to celebrate his 29th birthday. I felt sorry for him but was also relieved that it turned out this way. Thank goodness I hadn't started brainstorming what to do for his birthday. Otherwise, I would've worked for nothing.
And now, everyone was eager to throw Colin his birthday party. All I had to do was be there to celebrate the joyous occasion. Colin was new to the college and was already very popular, thanks to his impressive talent and charming personality.
At around 1:00 pm, everyone had their fill of good food. Colin went to get the bill while several mischievous students covered their mouths and sniggered as if they were about to pull a prank.
The payment went about normally. Noticing my confusion, he gave me the bill. I looked at it and almost had a heart attack. 3,700 dollars? How much did they order?
I had nothing to do when I went back. But since everyone had such an eventful morning, to avoid overstimulating our minds, we forced ourselves to calm down and drew for three hours. Then, we continued the story that we had dropped in the morning.
When I mentioned how I did not notice Dad and he frightened me when he hugged me from behind, the talkative Wendy shared, "Truth be told, Luna, I can hear an ant walking by when I'm all alone, let alone my dad walking in. My grandpa said that I'm not made for painting.
"He said I should be a detective instead since nothing can escape my ears or eyes. So when it comes to mental focus, I feel like 70% of it comes from personality and 30% comes from training.
"After almost two decades of training, I now can divert 95% of my focus to my drawing. As for the remaining 5%... It's useless anyway. So why bother?"
