I'm going to try and update two short chapters tonight.
I wrote most of this chapter in Food Tech today. My teacher wasn't here today.

Amy's POV
Riker dropped me home and I walked straight in side. I can't believe his has forgotten my birthday. This is why I hate living in America. My birthday just happens to be the same day as Americas Independence Day. "So, did you get a new dress?" Mom asked me as I put my bags down. "Yeah. I did." I said and opened the fridge door and got some orange juice and poured it into a glass. "What's wrong?" Mom asked. "Oh. Nothing. It's fine." I said and sat down. "Amelia! What's wrong?" Mom said and sat down across to me. "It's nothing. What time are we going out?" I asked her trying to change the subject. "Six. Go have a shower and get changed." She said, I was about to say a smart arse comment back to her but I knew I would get in trouble.
I walked up stars with my new dress and heels and had another shower. I got out and did my nails and I brushed my hair and curled it a little only so it would look neat because usually my hairs all scruffy looking. I put my dress on and my heels just in time before Dylan walked in. "Amy. Mom wants a photo." He said, and pulled out his phone. "I swear, she's more excited than me. And it's my birthday." I said putting on my necklace. "You know where we're going right?" He asked me, "Mom can never keep secrets. Why do you think she always went over to Riker's to chat with Stormie?" and Dylan though about it. "Exactly." I said.
"She's the worst at surprises. Remember Dads a couple of years ago, how that backfired when he came home from work early." I said sitting next to him, and fixing his tie. "They put to much time and effort into things that really don't need much attention towards." I said and stood up and I walked down stairs. "Amy you look gorgeous." Mom said, and I walked past her and walked into the lounge room and next with my cousins. "Happy Birthday." Steven said, "Yeah. Happy Birthday." Andrew and and passed me a square shaped box. I opened it and there was a silver bracelet, it was really cute. "Thanks boys." I said and hugged them both. "Don't touch me." Steven said and I backed away quite quickly. "Sorry." I said and Dad pulled me out the side the front where Mom wanted to take photos. "Mom, is this really necessary?" I asked as she took a photo of my brother and I.
"Yes, Amy. It is. Now hurry up and get ready." She demanded. "I am ready." I said. Geez. Getting bossed around on my birthday, ouch. We all piled into Dads car and we drove off to where my special surprise is waiting.
