"Happy Birthday!" My bed creaked as Savannah bounced up and down, in an overly eager attempt to wake me.
"Nooo, shoo! It's not my birthday until tomorrow. And on that note, my birthday wish will be to sleep in too."
"Come on, get up, Maddie! I'm too excited to leave for your birthday trip."
I peered one slightly annoyed, slightly amused eye open to look at my beaming friend. "That isn't until later this afternoon when we get out of our classes. Speaking of, I don't have to be at my first one until 9:30, so why on earth are you waking me up at the unholy hour of--," I reached over and grabbed my phone, seeing it was 8:30, "--huh, would you look at that." I sheepishly smiled at Savannah, glancing at me with amusement.
"Well, it's still too early. I could have slept a good twenty more minutes."
Savannah's eyebrow raised as she folded her arms across her chest. "Well, I guess you don't want your first surprise then."
Now that, I'll gladly get up for!
"Not so fast! I didn't say that." I protested, quickly sitting up. "What is it?"
"Well, it's nice to know you haven't changed. Still having morning affairs with your bed, I see." Katrina's voice floated out from inside my closet as she peered out with a huge grin.
I flung the covers off me and jumped up, enveloping her in a hug as she made her way toward me.
"You're here! I'm so excited to see you! When did you get in? I didn't think I was going to see you until tomorrow at wherever it is you guys are taking me!" I beamed, beyond excited to see my best friend.
She laughed, pulling away from our hug as she sat on my bed. "I just got in about 10 minutes ago. Savannah snuck me in. I wanted to surprise you and I'm glad to see it worked."
"It definitely did. I've missed you!" I grinned, sitting down on the bed next to her.
"I have missed you too. And I'm so excited I finally got to meet Savannah face to face." Kat smiled, looking to Savannah.
"Oh my gosh! That's right! I totally forgot you guys haven't actually met yet. It feels like we've all been friends forever."
Savannah beamed, sitting down on the other side of me before throwing her arms around me. Kat joined and we all laughed as we fell back on the bed. "Okay girls, I would really like to make it to my 21st birthday, and I can't do that if I'm suffocated to death."
They laughed, pushing off me as we sat up. "I hate that I have to go to class today with you here."
"I know, but I plan on doing a bit of sightseeing before we all head out later."
"Well, how about you start with some breakfast with me and Savannah before I head to class?"
