"WAKE UP LILLY" hannah shouted in my ear. Opening one eye, i turned on my side. my clock said it was 7:30..."fuck off" i mumbled into my pillow "ITS MY BIRTHDAY!!" hannah jumped off my bed, as i opened both eyes i noticed she was already dressed, with her black obey flat peak i'd brought her last year. i smiled "happy birthday cunt, now let me sleep" she shook her head, pulling my covers away so the coldness of my bedroom hit me "you're getting up!!" and with that she bounced out of my room waiting for me to follow her. regretfully, i pulled my hoodie over my pyjamas and stuffed my feet into my slippers . hannah was downstairs in the living room with her monster in one hand and xbox controller in the other "you're playing mine craft on your birthday" i laughed, sitting on the sofa opposite her. "i've got to finish this house before maisie wakes up"
"why do you have to wait for mais?" i asked, standing up.
"because shes driving me to meet brad" hannah smiled, returning to her game. i was starving so i went and made some toast, the kitchen was filled with birthday cards from some distant relatives and her presents from mais and me. we'd brought her calvin kline perfume, she loves that stuff i swear ever since brad brought her a bottle for her 15th shes always asked for it for birthdays and christmases. then, somehow we'd managed to save to get her a new bmx, a 'sunday funday watermelon' to be honest it was the nicest bmx i'd ever seen. even though i have no idea about all that stuff, if i did, i would buy myself one. except the fact it cost us £1900! also there was two crates of monster.
"hannah!" i heard maisie in the lounge "youre playing mine craft on your birthday!" she laughed. i made my way back to the lounge and laughed with her "come on then, brad just text me. hes at the train station!" maisie said, typing something out on her phone. hannah got up and turned the xbox off "see you in like half an hour" maisie said, walking out of the door and putting her uggs on. "yeah" i lowered my voice "when do we go to the restaurant?" we'd planned a surprise meal for hannah. "brad's taking her to sainsburys so i'll come back here, get the presents. then were meeting kara and mat there" kara was our other best friend, but she'd become a model and moved to london with her boy friend. its funny really, we always said she'd be the first to move out. "okay, i'll go get ready now!" hannah came out of the lounge, putting her etnies on, she looked at the kitchen table "are they my presents!" she said. i looked and ran to the door, covering it up so she couldn't see what they were "you'll have to wait" i smiled. "yeah now hurry up your boy friend's waiting!" mais laughed, opening the front door and walking over to her car. hannah followed her, fixing her flatpeak and jumping into the passenger side, they drove off with Wiley blaring out the radio.
"right" i said to myself, walking upstairs. There was my red dress from last week already laid out on my bed, next to my new jacket and black heels. i sat down on the bed and checked the time, i had an hour to get ready. for most people this would have been plenty of time but for me, well i needed to hurry up!
first i had a shower and washed my hair, this woke me up so i wasnt sleepy anymore. then i put on my makeup and straightened my hair. i guess i looked okay as i checked you couldn't see my scars through the jacket. surprisingly as soon as i was ready, maisie turned up in her car to get me. "she doesn't suspect a thing" she laughed, as we piled hannah's presents into the boot. "oh and kara text me, she's there already!"
"we need to get going then" i said, packing the monster crates in the little bit of room that was left.
maisie started the car up and i plugged my phone into the dock as we drove down our road and into town. "it was strange earlier" maisie said, turning into the car park
"what do you mean?" i said
"brad and hannah, theyre so cute and i just want that with someone. i'm really happy for her but i mean i guess i'm jealous.."
