Happy late Birthday! Hope you like it!
An alarm rang out through the cluttered room until a hand finally slapped it off the night stand, "Todays the day!"
You quickly got out of bed with a smile plastered on your face. Today was your birthday and you planned to spend the day with your best friend. He was a dork so he was probably free right? Ian was the nerdiest kid you knew but that's what you loved about him! You too could talk about magic and tv series all day!
His older brother Barley was cool too but he had his moments. Everyone does.
With thoughts of hanging out with Ian in your head you quickly slid your shoes on and ran out the door to the Lightfoot residence. But when you got there instead of a happy looking Ian you were meet with Barleys famous grin.
"Y/N the Conqueror!!! We meet again!!" Barley announced and struck a fighting pose.
"Well well well I suppose we do." You struck a ninja pose.
Barley cracked first and the two of you were left laughing. But when you tried to slide past him into the house he blocked you.
"You shall not pass!" He yelled and pushed you back.
"Haha Barley, just let me through." You liked joking with him but you could only stand so much.
Barley opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by Ian squeezing his head out the door frame, "Is that Y/N? Hey! I'm kind of busy right now but Barley says he has a quest for you! Bye!" Then his head disappeared back into the house.
You were left standing outside confused. Did he forget your birthday? No way, there was no way he forgot. But did he? What was he doing? Maybe he did forget?
Lost in your thoughts you were slow to register the rough hand on your shoulder turning you to the direction of Barleys van. He patted your back and raised his hand to the sky, "Are quest for the best snacks begins!!"
You were then swept into the passenger seat of the new van and being driven to the grocery store. Your eyes were still locked onto the house in the rear view mirror however. Confusion still evident on your face.
You were so sure Ian would be the first person to tell you happy birthday but here he is doing something else and leaving you to go on a grocery trip with his brother. Great start to a birthday.
----------------------
At the grocery store it was clear to Barley something was on your mind so he tried his best to get rid of it. He made jokes about the brands, he pushed you in the shopping cart as if it were a grand chariot, he even slipped on the wet floor to make you laugh. All in all it worked and you hadn't thought about Ian or your birthday until one of your friends from school saw you in the store.
"Hey Y/N! Happy Birthday!" She said with a kind wave as she passed.
You gave her a kind smile before your face fell. Even the girl you share just one class with remembered your birthday.
A hand on your shoulder caused you to look up. "What's wrong dude? It's your birthday were supposed to be having fun filled adventures! Not moping in the candy isle of all places!!" Barley said.
"Yeah I know." But with a sigh you picked up a bag of sour patch kids, "Sorry for being so sour."
Barley laughed at the joke a patted your back, "Nice pun, but really why are you so down?"
"Cause Ian forgot my birthday." You blurted out.
Barley looked panicked, "I'm sure he didn't but lets just shove that to the back of our brains and gooooo...MINI GOLFING! Yeah Mini golfing!"
