𝟯𝟱 / ( birthday )

════ ✮ ⋆★⋆ ✮ ════

When Naomi got up to have breakfast, she noticed that Estelle wasn't at the kitchen table. Which was weird, because she usually woke up earlier.

The girl shrugged it off by thinking her friend was suffering from a hangover or something.

But when she got to the kitchen, she noticed that a breakfast was ready on a plate.

It contained a yogurt, a croissant, some sandwiches, some bread spread, a bar of chocolate, chocolate milk and a note:

when you're done getting ready, your treasure hunt can start. text estelle the password to get out of the flat.
xoxo, your party committee
ps: wear your cutest outfit

"What the fuck," Naomi chucked out loud. She didn't know there was a whole committee, and she definitely didn't expect for them to put together a treasure hunt for her.

She was incredibly excited.

Though she did take time to enjoy her breakfast, she got ready as fast as she could so she could start her quest.

But the thing was, she had no clue how to start. There were no other clues than the note, and the front door was locked.

The girl started to look around the flat frantically. And when she went through the dvd drawer, she noticed one she had never seen before.

The cover of it was just a white paper, and a baby picture of Naomi in the middle. She put it into the dvd player and got seated on the couch to watch.

It was a video of Nick sitting on Naomi's bed.

"Hey girl. Happy birthday! I suggest you go look deeper into the place I'm sitting right now. That's the only tip I've got for you."

"No it's not," someone behind the camera said. The girl recognized the voice to be Matt's.

"Oh, right." Nick told the camera. "Another tip I've got for you is the best song that's ever made. Well, according to you and Estelle, at least. You're welcome!"

And with that, the dvd stopped playing. The video was done.

Naomi did what she needed to do and went over to her bedroom. She searched everything, and eventually found a piece of paper taped to the inside of her closet door.

It was a crossword puzzle, and some of the boxes were highlighted. The girl reasoned that these highlighted letters would make up the password.

She did need to fill in the crossword first, though. The first tip was 'song'. There were eight boxes.

This must have had something to do with what Nick had mentioned. Naomi thought about it for a while, before finally realizing the obvious.

She filled in what was the best song ever made according to her and Estelle: thespins was the first word. The i was highlighted.

The second tip was 'first date', with eight letters. Lanterns, and the t was highlighted.

The girl kept going like this, and she'd figured out all the words after about ten minutes. The highlighted letters were i, t, h, a, b, r, y and d.

Naomi thought about it for a second, and then chuckled at herself for not noticing it sooner. The letters spelled out birthday.

These idiots had really made the password birthday.

Naomi checked the mailbox, and there was a gold envelope in it with her name written on it. She opened it and saw coordinates on it.

When she put the coordinates into her maps, it led her to a local makeup store.

She went in and walked around a little and looked for anything, but nothing could be found. There was no other option than to go up to the counter and ask.

"Good morning, is there any chance anyone has mentioned a scavenger hunt? I've received coordinates and they led me here."

The lady behind the counter smiled. "Yes, love. Here's a birthday gift for you."

She handed Naomi a little gift bag.

The girl thanked the woman and walked out. When she opened the bag, she found a setting powder in it. When she opened the packaging, she was greeted with a little note once again:

a little gift to set the mood for tonight. you can use this on brooke, she needs a little help.
xoxo, your party committee

Naomi figured that she should find Brooke and do her makeup, and she would get the next tip from her.

She didn't know where the girl could be other than her house. So, she went up to Brooke's house and rung the door bell.

A smiling Brooke opened the door almost immediately and smiled. "Hey babe, come in. I need you to do my makeup real quick, you're so good at it."

So, Naomi did as she was told. She kept trying to get some information about the scavenger hunt out of the other girl, but she wouldn't tell.

When the makeup was finished, Brooke stood up. "Okay, so I've got a tip for you. But can you help me with something else real quick?"

"Sure, what is it?"

"My neighbors are on a trip to Vegas and they asked me to take a look after their cats, but I'm kind of scared to go to an empty house on my own. Like, I might get murdered or something. So can you come along with me to feed them real quick?"

Naomi chuckled. "Of course. We'll get murdered together."
