I woke up late this morning, it was summer vacation.

I sat up in bed an rubbed the sleep out of my eyes. I went in the bathroom and washed my face. I stayed up really late reading last night, and I'm glad we don't have school.

I went downstairs and I heard the gang laughing and cracking jokes. 

"Morning guys." I said. 

There was a bunch of scattered 'Mornings' coming from the gang. 

"You guys know what day it is?" I asked.

"I know it's-" Ponyboy started but Two-Bit cut him off. "Friday. Its Friday. Right Ponyboy?" 

Ponyboy's expression seem to have dropped, "Yeah. Friday." He said. 

So I have really great friends in case you're wondering, they forgot my birthday. How thoughtful of them, or in this case, how not thoughtful of them.

I don't care if they don't do anything for me, but acknowledging me on my birthday would be nice.

"Soda come on! We're gonna be late! Darry's waiting in the truck." Steve hollered from the front door.

"I'm comin', I'm comin'." Soda muttered.

After Soda, Steve and Darry left, Dally and Johnny walked in.

"Hey Delaina! Happy Birthd-"

"Johnny!" Two-Bit cut him off.

"What? Why can't I say 'happy birthday' to the birthday girl?" Johnny asked.

"Because- never mind."

"Happy Birthday Delaina." Johnny said, giving me a hug. 

"Thanks." I said smiling.

"Now can I say 'happy birthday' to her?" Ponyboy asked. 

"I don't care."

Ponyboy smiled and came over to give me a big hug. "Happy Birthday!"

"Thank you." I giggled.

"It was Two-Bit's idea." He whispered.

"I kinda figured." I whispered back. 

"I'm sorry. He said he give me twenty bucks if I did it." He said, still hugging me.

"Its okay."

Ponyboy eventually let go of me, giving me a kiss on the cheek and Two-Bit came up to me. "I'm sorry. Happy Birthday." He said with open arms.

I gladly went over and gave him a hug, "Its okay." I said.

Thursday July twenty-second, nineteen sixty-five, six-o-seven a.m., is when I got up to have some fun. 

I got out of bed and walked down the quiet hallway. No one else was awake yet. 

I creaked the door to Ponyboy and Sodapop's room open and quietly went inside. 

I went over to Sodapop's side of the bed and poked his shoulder. He didn't wake up. I poked him harder.

"What the fu-" I quickly put my hand over his mouth and put a finger over my lips.

"You wanna help me do something fun?" I asked and motioned over to Ponyboy sleeping beside him.

He smiled and nodded is head.
