On the day of my birthday, June 12th 2015, I was sitting on my bed in my room studying, when I heard a loud knock at my window. I threw open my curtains and to the lack of my surprise, It was my best friend Danni. He tapped on the window and I slid it open. As he pulled the fly screen off he announced, "come to bust you out of this hellhole." My eyes followed him as he climbed through my window.

"Mm, sure," I said, "but you just earned 30 points for tardiness." He rolled his eyes. It was 8:15pm, my birthday was basically over.

"Well jeez, sorry Bells, I got a bit caught up on, um, homework." He lied and gave me a quick sheepish smile.

"Yeah, homework sure. This homework didn't have anything to do with Julia Holber, Did it?" I raised an eyebrow and gave him a sideways glance. I caught a look at his cheeks which were as red as my heavy worn and torn curtains.

"I'm real sorry, I lost track of time and I was so close to getting her to talk to me and..."

Cutting him off I added "she isn't interested, is 3 years older than you and she has a boyfriend"

"I know but..."

"No but."

"Fine." Clearly he wasn't happy with this statement but he'd just have to learn that she really doesn't care.

"So where are we going?" I asked, changing subjects.

"Oh, just some place. Well I was going to take you there, until you were so mean to me." He fake sniffled and pretended to wipe away a tear.

"Alright goodnight then." I flopped down on my bed and rolled over.

"Get dressed poof ball," he yelled as he jabbed my side. I rolled back over and sat up

"That's no way to treat a lady on her birthday," I huffed. As I pointed at him, he pulled a groggy face and laughed.

"I don't see any ladies in here." I stood up and put my hands on my hips for a moment and lifted my chin up in a huff, but it was cut off as my head slowly fell back down. I slumped on one leg, stared down at myself and groaned.

"Why Danni, why?" I scrunched up my face at him.

"What?" he asked.

"I'm dirty, my hair is dirty, all my clothes are dirty. You could have picked any other day but this," I proclaimed.

"Well, really you should be ranting 'why birthday, why', so stop whining and go take a shower, I'll pick out your clothes," he said.

"Maybe I will" I said stubbornly.

"Maybe?" he questioned.

"I will," I giggled as I walked off to the shower.

I walked out of the shower into my room, I was wrapped in a towel, as was my head. As I walked over, Danni wolf whistled and I strutted towards him. We both started laughing as I snatched my clothes from his hand and disappeared into my walk in robe. While I was getting dressed Danni gazed around my room mumbling something about all my stuff. I heard him pointing out my various ornaments and who got them for me and when I got them.

"Stop it," I yelled, "your making it sound like I don't know where i get my things from!"

"That's because you don't," he giggled, "thats why you write it in your diary." I came out of my wardrobe wearing my favourite black skinny jeans, a singlet and some grey vans.

"I don't even have a diary" I said, he laughed and searched for something on my shelves. He brought me a little book with diary written on the cover in demonetise.

"Pfft, I don't know where that came from." I said seriously.

"I got this for you," he said shocked, "but if you don't want it." He tucked it behind his back

"Did I say that?" I asked

"Your body language was screaming it." He provoked as he started flipping through the pages. "See right here," he protested. "It says 'i will from now on write down all the places where my stuff comes from as I seem to forget, 14th feb' ha told you." He taunted

"Let me see!" I snatched the book from his hands. "This page is blank!" I yelled as I punched his arm. He rubbed his newly forming bruise and made an ouch face.

"Look at that, you even forgot to actually write it down." He smirked.

"Haha you're a comedy genius." I laughed sarcastically. I walked over to my dresser and brushed my dark blue hair atop my head "pass me a hair tie" I stated. Danni approached my desk and grabbed my glow stick necklace and neon sunglasses "what the hell?" he mumbled to himself as he picked up a black hair tie and passed it to me. I snapped the tie around my best efforts of a messy bun

"Where are we going?" I asked.

"You will see when we get there." he sung. I hate it when he says that but I knew he would.

Danni and I told my mom we were going out, and we left. Danni and I caught the bus for about 15 minuets and got off. Danni put his hands over my eyes and steered me to wherever we were going Into a pole for all I know. I heard the familiar music of 'Neon Paradise'. I knew what part of town we were in. When he uncovered my eyes we were standing at the front door of the Priscilla. A huge nightclub with the best bar food ever. It's so hard to get a spot there and Danni was walking right towards the door. I just stopped and stared.

"Oh my god, I can't believe you did this!" I squealed. He started laughing.

"I've been saving up a while to come here and I thought, 'I must get Bells a sweet 16 present and it would be so nice to take her here', but if I can recall you were going to send me here on my own." He tilted his chin up and smirked at me. "How inconsiderate." I smiled and looped an arm through his.

"Pfft, I completely agree, how rude of me to not take an offer like this, it's just outrageous." I giggled "you must show me around" he laughed and hugged me

"Come on, lets go poof ball." I ran inside, Danni trailing close behind me.
