(Andy's P.O.V.)

It's the 17th. Am I supposed to be excited? I don't really think so. Mikey thinks so, Mom thinks so, even Ally thinks so. I have 4 days till my birthday. I'm not too happy about it.

I got up for school thinking it might be a good day for me, but not with this nagging douchebag of a boyfriend in my damn ear.

"Can I eat my lunch in peace," I growl.

Mikey's face is laced with seriousness as he stares at me.

"No, no you can't, not until you tell me why you're not excited," he growls.

"I'm just not, after 17 years it gets a bit old," I say, laughing a bit at the surprising irony of that statement.

His pink lips press into a hard line as I take another bite out of my pizza. If he wasn't busy being so annoying I would try to find a way to put that pretty mouth to use. I also know that he doesn't like me treating him like a girl, especially after the last time we had sex.

"What do you want to do that day?" he asks.

I shrug as I look over at Nick and Eli.

"This is the first birthday in a while that I actually get to be a part of."

"You missed two, get over it," I say nonchalantly.

"Kind of 3, the one in Freshman year wasn't too great, we were beginning to have that fall out a little bit before your birthday," he answers roughly.

    I think about it before snorting and shrugging. I didn't want to talk about my birthday, I spent the last two getting drunk off my ass and ending up on the floor of a random apartment.

"Maybe you could just come over to my house and we could just do whatever," I say as I get up to throw out my paper plate.

I see people hustling and bustling to get to wherever they needed to go outside the store window.

"No, we do that already sometimes, we need to have a party or something, what if this is your last birthday before we-" he cuts off quickly.

I turn to face him and shrug again. If we went off to college and never saw each other again, what was I to do?

"Well I don't know what to tell you then," I say.

He just deadpans, gets up and leaves out the store.

"What did you do now?" Nick groans.

"Nothing!" I exclaim.

   I sigh, but I go out and follow Mikey back to the school. He walks angrily, stomping, huffing and puffing. I keep a safe distance, I didn't need him turning around to hit me, I'd kick his fucking ass.

  But once he enters the school and then the boys bathroom, I get pissed.

"Could have held the door," I hiss.

"You're not a bitch," he murmurs angrily before locking the stall door.

"You mean a girl."

"Shut the hell up."

"Seriously, what did I do, please, I'd really like to know," I say sarcastically.

"What's the big deal, Andy? It's your fucking birthday, why aren't you atleast a bit happy?" he says from inside the stall.

I stay quiet as his piss hits the bowl and I go over to the mirror to fix my hat, the black of it covering my whole head as I tucked stray hairs back into it.
