30: nick's birthday present.

aria's pov:
i haven't stopped thinking about the message.
i'm only 16. what am i doing?
anyways, i'm in class and i noticed that it was september 2nd.
it's nick's birthday in 2 days and he's 17.
fuck.
i haven't even got him anything.
and considering we are in the middle of an argument it's sort of awkward.
i want to get him something but i just don't know what to get him.
not to mention that i have £20 to my name.
god, this is just great.
now i'm going to stress about this for a while.
i guess i can go down to the shopping centre after school?
but like i said, i have £20 to my fucking name.
ugh.
why is this so difficult.
what am i going to do.?

nick's pov:
i'm a bit scared.
it's my birthday in 2 days and i'm not even going to be with aria for it.
first my dad can't come, now me and aria are in a argument.
guess me and mum will have to do 😕.
i really wanted to spend my 17th with someone and mum.
and i wanted it to be aria.
guess things really don't work out for any of us aye?

"nick!" the teacher calls.
"yeah?" i look up.
"can you answer this?" the teacher points at the board.
"huh?" i pull a confused expression.
"have you even been listening to anything i've been saying?" the teacher raises his eyebrows.
"u-um, no sir." i look down.
"he's too busy thinking about aRiA" someone calls out but i can't think who.
"who's aria?" the teacher puts his hands up to shrug.
"his slutty ass girlfriend." the same boy laughs.
"language." the teacher shouts.
i get up and leave the classroom.
"nick!" the teacher shouts.
i walk down the corridor and go to the old computer room.
the teacher follows behind me.
"what's wrong eh?" he folds his arms.
"nothing." i don't even lift my head up.
"just nothing? so that's why you stormed out the classroom." he's so annoying.
"well, to be honest, i don't really like hearing people making sly comments about my girlfriend." i have a bit of an attitude.
"i know but sometimes you need to ignore it." he's not helping.
just fuck off.
"yeah, something like that." i roll my eyes.
just, fuck off.

aria's pov:
i'm on lunch break and i decide to go to the shopping centre to see if i can find anything for nick's birthday.
he was meant to have a party on friday.
well, it wasn't really a party per - say, it was like a dinner.
he was meant to go out for food with me, sarah, and his dad.
that was going to be the day where i met his dad.
when he told me about this, i was shitting myself. he reassured me that it would be fine.
but, look what harry and diego did to us.
maybe i should text him.
anyway, moving on.
i enter HMV hoping to find something for his birthday that's under £20.
fucking impossible.
all that's in HMV, is posters, vinyls and CD's.
nothing that nick would like to be honest.
i leave the shop and i see tim hortons.
i decide not to go in even though i'm so tempted to get the hash browns.
i'm on a budget.
i go into st. davids and i see BUILD - A - BEAR.
i have an idea.
i go in and find a teddy that looks most like nellie.
i couldn't find one that looked like nellie but i found a cute happy birthday one.
i check the price and it's £14.00.
i mean, it's not bad.
i go up to a member of staff.
"excuse me?" i ask.
"oh hello hun." the worker replied.
"can i add a voice box to this?" i smile.
"of course. it will be £5 extra if that alright?" she directs me to the voice machine.
"oh yeah that's fine." i look nervous.
i'm only gunna have £1 to my name.
i speak into the voice machine and say:
"hello! i miss you so much.. happy birthday. i'm sorry we have argued and it's totally not your fault. i love you and i hope we make up soon!
love aria."
"that was deep. you alright?" a random person asks.
"oh yeah i'm fine." i laugh.
"is that a gift?" she smiles.
"oh yeah, it's for my boyfriend. it's his birthday soon" i look at her then the bear.
"awh, cute. well i'm sorry for disturbing you." they continue what there doing.
"it's okay. i best go now anyway." i smile and leave.
i go to the checkout.

"next please!" the cashier calls.
"hello!" i say.
"hi! who's this for?" she smiles.
"um, just my boyfriend" i get my money out.
"awh." she packs the bear in a box and puts an empty birth certificate in it.
"yeah, i guess." i laugh.
she laughs back "that will be £19 then please."
i give her my £20 note.
"here you go!" she gives me the £1 change.
"thank you." i say and walk out the shop with my build - a - bear.
i go in the card shop to buy him a card.
i only have £1 to spend.
i find one card and it's 50p.
that will have to do.
i pay and get out of the shopping centre and walk back to college. with a build - a - bear fucking box.
i'm so dumb.
i only have 2 more hours left anyways.
