Chapter 2:

"Hey." I say to Chris.

"Hey monkey." He says and I laugh.

        Monkey is a nickname that he calls me. It's a long story, well not really. We met each other when I was climbing a tree to get my cat out of it. I fell and he caught me and was all like 'look at you being a monkey'. He asked me do I wanna get ice cream afterwards. It was so adorable. That was about four months ago.

"Athena!" I hear my name being called from across the parking lot.

"Who's that." Chris says.

"My folklore partner, be right back." I say walking towards him.

"Hey Lucas." I say.

"Call me Luke." He says in a demanding tone.

"Okay, Luke." I say chuckling.

"Ella told me that your going to her house and I was wondering if you needed a ride." He says.

"Oh, uh thanks but my uh, boyfriend is driving me." I say.

"Your boyfriend, okay yea, see you later." He says.

"Yea, see you later." I say smiling at him and walking away.

"Ready to go." Chris says looking at Lucas, Luke.

"Uh yea." I say smiling at him.

          Half way to Ella's house Chris makes a U turn.

"Where are you going." I say to him.

"I forgot something, I'm gonna get it and then we can go to Ella's." He says.

"Okay?" I say then we pull up to his house and he goes inside.

        About thirty minutes later he comes out and he is holding a giant stuffed monkey. The monkey is holding a heart that says happy birthday.

"Happy birthday monkey." He says and I laugh.

"Thanks." I say as he hands me the monkey that can barely fit in the front with us so I sit him down in the back of the car.

"Ready to go." He says and I nod my head smiling. I freaking love him.

        He pulls out of his driveway and starts driving towards Ella's house, again.

        When we get their I take the monkey out the car and we walk up the steps to her front porch. I knock on the door and Ella opens.

"What took you so long." Ella says.

"Chris got me a monkey." I say with the stuffed animal in my hand.

"Aww, that's cute." She says leading me inside.

"So what's your surprise." I say to her as we walk towards the living room then my heart drops in my chest when a whole bunch of people jump up and say surprise. "Oh god my heart." I say laughing.

"Happy birthday Athena." I hear people say a couple times and I thank them.

"You really didn't have to do this Ella." I say.

"And not celebrate my bestfriends sixteenth birthday please." She says bringing me towards a table full of gifts.

"Their are way to many presents here." I say.
