Rose's POV
I was sitting on the Curtis' couch when Twobit burst into the house. He was wearing a blue button-down, black pants, and black shoes. His hair was perfectly greased back, I could smell the cologne he was wearing.
"Alright birthday girl, come with me!" He said taking my hand and pulling me toward the car. I got in and he started driving fast.
"Slow down Two, y'know I just turned 18, let me enjoy it while it lasts." I said laughing.
He smiled. "Anything for the birthday girl."
I smiled and soon we made to my house. I could tell that the lights were off in the house from how dark the windows looked. Two opened the door for me and I got out walking up to the house. Twobit ran over to me and grabbed the handle.
"Alright, 1...2...3!" He flung the door open and the lights turned on. Everyone came out of their hiding placed and screamed...
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROSE!"
There was the whole gang, along with balloons, and a big sign the said "Happy Birthday Rosie!" I smiled and got crushed in a hug from Dally. I hugged him back with a goofy grin on my face. He let go and I gave the whole gang a huge, except Darry. They said he had to work today which was sad, but I'm not complaining.
"So best friend, how does it feel to be 18?" Soda asked putting his arm around my shoulder?"
"Well it feels good, but since when was I your best friend?"
He smirked. "Since now."
"But don't I have to agree w-" I started, but he cut me off.
"Sorry, already been determined...by me." He said smiling and walking away. I playfully rolled my eyes.
"Alright guys, time for Rose to open presents!" My mom said.
We all gathered around in the living room. My mom said I had to stand up and show everyone what I got, so I didn't argue.
"Alright who wants to go first?" I asked rubbing my hands together.
"US!" Soda, Steve, and Johnny said in unison.
They handed me their present and I opened it carefully. Once the wrapping was off I looked at it and it was a scrap book with the gang's picture on the front. I opened it and couldn't stop smiling at the first page. It was a picture of me messing around with Soda's hat and Steve sleeping on the counter at the DX. That day I went to go visit them and mess around a little.
The next page was a picture of me sleeping on the couch and Johnny and Pony sleeping beside me. It was cute. There was one particular photo I loved. It was one of me and Dally. The whole gang was at the park and Dally picked me up and placed me on his shoulders. We were holding hands and smiling. Dally was looked up at me and I was looking down at him. It was cute.
