"A Birthday Party at a Private Island-1"

Two days after…

"Attention, everyone!" Juana called her classmates' attention, "Greta would like to announce something. Greta?"

The blonde girl cleared her throat, and said with a smile, "I am inviting everyone to my seventeenth birthday tomorrow! Since it's a Saturday, I want us to have an overnight camping trip, so I have decided to ask my father to let me borrow one of his seven private islands…"

Sydney raised her eyebrow as she listened to Greta and said in a soft voice, "Is she inviting everyone, or is she boasting about her obviously rich life?"

"Seven private islands? That's nothing compared to my twenty-seven islands," Matt chuckled, and Sydney formed a smile on her face.

Greta continued, "So for tomorrow, I expect everyone to meet me at Kasumi Port at seven in the morning. I have private yachts to accommodate everyone. Also, I told my maids to bring me portable grillers, as well as food like meat and different kinds of seafood…"

"Matt, do you have private yachts, too?" asked Sydney.

"Of course. I even have a submarine."

"What the… Hahahah...." Sydney tried to stop herself from laughing as she covered her mouth.

"Aaaand, don't forget to bring your swimsuits!"

"Swimsuits? But I don't have one," Juana whispered to Greta while having a worried face.

She patted the class president's shoulder, "I got you. I will give you a total makeover… and make Matt notice you."

"Really?" Juana's eyes twinkled in happiness, "You're the best, Greta..."

Saturday came, and everyone came for Greta's birthday. As soon as they arrived at her father's private island, Greta's maids assisted them to set up their tents. Everyone had their own group of friends, so they positioned their tents according to where they wanted. Only Greta, her underlings, Juana, and Matt were permitted to stay in the vacation house in the middle of the island.

"Give me a tent. I want to sleep with our other classmates," Matt told Greta.

But she shook her head, "No, what will I tell your mother if she saw your mosquito bites? No, no…"

"Greta, are you disobeying my orders?" he replied with a stern voice, "Unless you want something to happen in your family businesses."

Greta bit her lip in nervousness. Her plan was to isolate Matt away from Sydney and pair him up with Juana, but now that he's threatening their family businesses, she had no choice but to follow his request. "Fine, Matt. You win."

The island was a small one, and several coconut trees surrounded the vacation house. Walking while viewing the sparkling waters made the students relax as they left their footprints on the fine, light yellow sand.

Greta and Juana went to the grilling area to participate in preparing lunch. Those who were interested to grill took portable grillers and kitchen torches.

Juana started chopping carrots on a wooden board. In front of her were Sydney and her bestfriend, Olivet.

"Where's Matt?" Juana asked Greta. "I don't know. Probably setting up his tent."

"I thought he'd sleep in the vacation house… I want to set up my tent near his..."

"Looks like I have to modify my plan… Oh, Matt is here."

Juana stopped chopping the carrots and then yelled, "Matt-"

But she stopped talking after seeing him run to approach Sydney.

"That… That Sydney!" Juana then chopped the carrots like a madman. While staring at them, her hands moved very swiftly as if she's in a hurry.

"Juana, calm down. You're not chopping the carrots properly!"

Not listening to her, Juana wounded her finger! "Owww!!!"

"I told you to calm down…" Greta gestured to her maid to tend to her friend's wound. She then told her, "Don't worry, it's still early. I have a great plan that will make Matt notice you…"

While resisting the pain of her cut, she replied, "Thanks, Greta…" and then she let the maid clean her wound with a wet cloth.

While the maid was tending to Juana's wound, Greta asked her, "By the way, what are the carrots for?"

"For the soup."

"You brought a cauldron? Where is it?" wondered Greta.

"I thought you brought one."

"Uhh… No... Err… Should we just grill those?!"

Then the afternoon came, and they all decided that it was time to go for a swim.

Greta made Juana wear a flowery monokini swimsuit that showed her curves, while she wore a royal blue string bikini.

"Isn't this too much?" Juana asked, uncomfortable that she was showing too much skin.

"No, he will definitely notice you because of that. Trust me."

"But... What if Sydney wore a similar swimsuit?"

"Sydney? Wear a sexy swimsuit? Hahaha!" Greta couldn't hold her laughter, "No way!"
