Rebel's POV:

"Alright, we finished with this car." I sigh out to Burt as me and Sam slide ourselves out from under a car we were working on. We both stand up and grab a towel that was on the car. We wipe our foreheads then our hands. Sam and I had on a pair of light blue jeans, tank tops and some back sneakers.

Me and Sam got a job at Burt's car shop. We just fix cars and he pays us. Isn't that amazing? We started working here about two months ago in July and it is now the first day of September. Yup, it our birthday. We are finally 18. It doesn't feel any different from being 17.

"The car looks amazing you guys. Thank you." Burt says while looking at the car impressed and I grab my water bottle that I left sitting on the tool table. I open it and start chugging it down. "And since it's your birthday, I've decided to give you a little extra pay. Happy birthday guys." Burt said as he hands us an envelope and me and Sam smile and take the envelope. It's payday today!!

We open it and find our money there. It was in cash. I start counting the money that is in bills of $20. Once I finish counting, I find a total of $250 in there. Me and Sam get payed weekly and we usually get paid $200. But since Burt gave us a little extra birthday money, we now had $250.

"Wow, thanks Burt!" Sam said in an excited voice and he gave Burt a hug.

"No problem. Just don't spend it on drugs and alcohol." Burt states in a joking voice and we roll our eyes and nod our heads.

"We are not even old enough to purchase drugs Burt." I say in a laugh while drinking the rest of my water and Burt laughs again.

"I know, there's just too many teens out here drinking alcohol and I don't want you two to be apart of that." He tells us while pointing a stern finger and we nod our heads and smile.

"We know, thanks again Burt." Me and Sam said at the same time and I place my empty water bottle back down on the table. Me and Sam give Burt a quick hug.

"Thanks Burt. We have to go home now. Our mom and dad wants to take us out to dinner." I tell Burt as I unwrap my flannel from around my waist and put my arms through it.

"Okay, get home safe you two. Good night!" Burt says to us as me and Sam nod and start walking towards our car that's in front of Burts car shop.

"Night Burt!" Sam shouts back and he waved at him as we reach the car.

I get in the drivers seat while Sam gets in the passengers seat. I begin to drive down the road and towards our home.

I just finished taking a shower and now I am changing my clothes. I put on some cackle colored pants with a creamish colored belt. I had on a white shirt with a picture of a man looking at the letters "XL". My shirt was tucked into my pants and I also had on some white socks with two black stripes, my watch and some cream colored shoes.

I decided to dress up nice since it was a birthday dinner.

Earlier today, before me and Sam went to work, Blaine, Brittany, Tina, Sugar, Kurt, Joe and Artie took us out to breakfast. Rory went back to Ireland during the summer. I miss the guy. He was fun to hang around. Kurt is the only senior besides me and Sam that is still in Lima. I have no idea what Kurt is doing. He changes his job every week.

Everyone started to leave one by one during the summer.

After Quinn left for Yale, Rachel left for NYADA in New York. I would like to live in New York. It's an awesome state and I love it.

Next to leave was Mercedes, Mike and Puck. The three of them left for L.A on the same flight. But, they aren't going to be in the same parts of L.A.
