It was January 4
My birthday and
At the same time,
It was a Monday

I went to my classroom
There goes a bestie of mine,
Who would be the first classmate
Who would greet me.

"Happy Birthday!", she said loudly
Then there goes the rest of the class,
They greeted me in chorus,
Me saying "thank you" right after

After a lot of greetings,
Someone stood out—
"Happy Birthday, senpai!"
He shouted, quite embarrassed.

I blushed, too stunned
To even thank him
I was shocked for him to add,
The word "Senpai" at the end

Greeting me by 'him' was
Already more than enough
For my day to get better
It was the best one I had yet
