Valentines Day

I never actually like Valentines Day. Its not cause I didn't have someone to spend it with  but just the fact that it is a pointless day. Men give women red roses and the women get the men a teddy bear that says "Will you be my Valentine?" and a card that has " i love you " written all over it. I mean obviously couples express there love to each other every day or every once in a while but why just one particular day it's special.. well anyways, my Valentines Day during junior year was quite different and not what i expected. I was talking to a boy named Chris Kocar. Nothing serious yet, it was just a regular crush. One day, one of my senior friends, Alyssa Chaninian, and I were hanging out. And she mentioned that her boyfriend, Edwin, well ex now and Chris are planning something for Valentines Day. I guess it was a surprise. I didn't know how to react to this. He knew i didnt like Valentines Day, so i was wondering why he would do such a thing. It was Monday, February 14, Valentines Day. I went to school and had a normal day. Both Chris and Edwin told us to meet at the Encino Plaza around 6. And they said only one of the girls should drive. So i went home got ready and went to pick up Alyssa. We went to the plaza and met up with them. We had no idea what was going on.. They started to walk towards Habit. We were confused but we just went with it. We went into Habit and they told us what were ordering. At this point, Alyssa and I were saying this is some kind of joke. Finally, Edwin said " alright were late for our reservations." Alyssa and I just looked at each other and were happy that this wasnt the place they took us. They ended up taking us to Yamato which is a Japanese Restaurant right by habit. Dinner was really good and delicious. At the end of the dinner, the men payed for our lovely meal. Chris told us he had to go to the car to get his insulin so he left the restaurant and Edwin told us he had to use the restroom. Alyssa and i was just sitting there waiting for the guys. Next thing you know, some Asian woman gives us a paper. For a minute, we thought it was a guys number or a stalker. We opened it and read it and it was a note from the guys.. "WE BOOKED IT" This is what it said. And also it said they had set up a scavenger hunt for us. We didnt know what to do. We were dressed up all fancy with heels and it was already dark outside. We knew it wasnt the best time to go on a scavenger hunt. The note said to take my car go down the street and into a neighborhood were they taped flowers for us on a sign. :] The next and last note said to go to CVS market and go to the liguor section and theres another note in back of the beer. The last note to go in back of CVS and they will be waiting for us. We went back of CVS and saw them sitting in Edwins car. They told us to hop in and that they have another surprise for us. At this point, it was probably 8. Edwin entered the 101 free way and im just thinking were is this guy taking us... I mean it is a school night. We ended up on Sunset. I wondered what was on  Sunset. He pulled into a parking lot and we all got out. There surprise was this restaurant/hookah lounge called Xai. It was a beautiful place. It was all neatly decorated. We had some hookah and yummy crepes. We probably left the place around 10:30. That was basically how i spent my Valentines Day. It was the best Valentines Day i had.<3
