It was Friday, May 13th, Mike's birthday.
In the afternoon, after school, as he was preparing to leave with Cady, Lina, and Paige.
Suddenly, there was a commotion and exclamations from students at the school gate.
"It's Regina and the girls," Cady's face showed surprise after clearly seeing the main culprits causing the chaos at the school gate.
She and The Plastics could be said to have become acquainted through conflict.
Having not seen them for half a year, Cady felt a bit emotional seeing the three girls, who had become even more radiant, all of a sudden.
"Hi, Mike—" Regina saw Mike and the others approaching and waved with a smile.
Some time had passed, and The Plastics seemed to have gained an even more captivating aura.
Just standing there, they became the center of attention.
It could be said that their decision to sign with "Miracle" company was very correct; they truly had the potential to become star.
"How did you come back?" Mike was also a bit surprised looking at the three beautiful girls in front of him.
As far as he knew, The Plastics were busy producing their first album, preparing for their official debut this summer.
Under the circumstances, this should be their busiest time.
"Surprise!!"
Regina spread her arms and asked with a smile, "How is it, surprised?"
"It's truly a surprise." Mike replied with a smile.
Being able to see The Plastics on this day was indeed a surprise.
"I knew he would definitely like it…" Regina's face showed a hint of smugness.
It seemed very likely that the three girls had made a bet earlier.
It had to be said, Regina, this "Queen Bee," had a very accurate grasp of Mike's thoughts.
"Oh, right, we also have a surprise to give you." Regina directed Gretchen and Karen beside her, and together they escorted Mike out of the campus.
Only a crowd of envious students were left behind.
"Ding, ding, ding, ding!"
"This year's latest sports car, how is it, do you like it?"
Leading Mike to a red sports car decorated with streamers and ribbons, Regina asked as if presenting a treasure.
This year's spring model Ferrari sports car costs around one hundred thousand dollars.
In an era where a decent car could be bought for five thousand dollars, this sports car was considered a high-end item.
"This gift is too expensive, I can't accept it." Although Mike's stock market worth could afford a sports car of this level. However, this birthday gift was still too extravagant for a high school student.
"It's okay, Mike. This is our token of appreciation…" Regina explained, "The money to buy this car was pooled from our salaries during this period. This counts as a thank you."
The Plastics were favored by "Miracle" company entirely thanks to Mike's Christmas song last year.
Plus the relationship between the three girls and Mike, they were truly willing to do something for Mike.
"This…"
The three girls' families were already well-off, and now that they were about to become stars, they were even less short of money.
Moreover, being able to save so much money before even debuting also indirectly showed how much "Miracle" company valued the three girls.
This was a good thing…
Instantly, Mike also experienced the joy of being a rich woman.
"How about it, want to try your new car?" Regina took out the Ferrari car keys, shook them twice in her hand, and then placed them on Karen's big wavy hair nearby.
Karen, with an angelic face, awkwardly held the keys and came before Mike.
Behind her, Regina, who had orchestrated this action, raised an eyebrow smugly and winked flirtatiously.
Still the same flavor…
The "Queen Bee" was very good at judging people.
Fancy car, beautiful women—
What man could resist such temptation?
"Mike, I'm going home first." Paige wisely chose to avoid this R-rated scene.
"We're leaving too, see you at the party tonight." Cady also tacitly pulled Lina away, leaving the scene to Mike and The Plastics.
Now Mike didn't have to hesitate, time for a test drive.
The headlights were very bright… the chassis suspension was also very good…
…
More than an hour later, Mike, who had finished his initial test drive, brought the three girls back to the Cooper family.
At this time, many people in the Cooper family's small yard were busy preparing for the birthday party.
Barbecue, snacks, and champagne were all brought to the temporary dining table.
"Mike, is this your new car?"
Georgie, who was lazily fiddling with the drinks, excitedly came over when he saw the red Ferrari.
Indeed, no one could resist the allure of a sports car.
"Mike, come try Connie's special brisket…" Connie, who was making brisket in the yard, glanced at The Plastics around Mike, and specifically called out, "This is top-grade beef that Lina specially brought from her home."
Clearly, compared to the flamboyant The Plastics, Connie preferred Lina, the small-town girl, from the bottom of her heart.
"Hmm, the beef quality is indeed good… and the brisket skills are excellent…"
Mike, who tasted a small piece of the special brisket, praised both Connie and Lina.
After making Connie happy, Mike greeted the other people who had come to the party today.
Originally, Mike's idea was for today's birthday to be just a family party.
However, Connie, who loved lively events, still invited Dr. Sturgis and Brenda and her son from next door.
Mary, on her part, invited Pastor Jeff and his wife.
Adding the unexpected return of The Plastics, the family gathering turned into a lively large party.
Children at one table, ladies at one table, men at one table…
The lively party lasted from eight in the evening until past eleven at night.
Pastor Jeff, who had two drinks with George over there, was already excitedly preaching from the Bible on the spot…
"Georgie, seeing the scene with Mike over there, don't you have any thoughts?" Connie approached Georgie, who was secretly drinking beer when his dad wasn't looking.
"I wish I had a face as handsome as Mike's..." Looking at Mike surrounded by several beautiful girls, Georgie was envious, but didn't forget to secretly take a sip of beer.
"Don't you have anything else to say?" Looking at his unmotivated appearance, Connie continued to press him impatiently.
The Cooper family's genes were actually very good.
Over the past six months, Georgie had also gradually matured.
Years of exercise had given him a strong body, combined with an increasingly mature facial structure, giving him a masculine charm.
"What should I say?" Unlike his increasingly mature appearance, Georgie's heart was clearly still an undeveloped child.
Connie originally wanted to use Mike's example to inspire Georgie's fighting spirit in a certain aspect.
However, seeing his unmotivated appearance, Connie shook her head and said no more.
Indeed, it wasn't that simple for a boy to become a man.
At twelve o'clock, as Mike finished cutting the birthday cake and made his birthday wish, the lively party drew to a close.
"Mike, the house is yours this weekend. Do your best—" As the party dispersed, Connie secretly slipped Mike a stack of small umbrellas, then pulled Dr. Sturgis away to enjoy their time together.
Mike, also knowing full well, took Regina, Gretchen, Karen, Cady, and Lina back to experience a five-way love.
