As Brendon drove me to school, he also avoided all my questions about the gift.

"You'll see after school! Don't worry." He said, patting my thigh. I laughed and took the AUX cord, plugging in my phone and playing Panic!

I just randomly hit shuffle, and of course, Far Too Young To Die comes on.

Brendon and I both started singing along. Hearing Brendon's voice is the best birthday gift, to be honest.

"Alright, have fun at school, and call me if Mr. Canel does anything again." He kissed me, on the lips, like he does every time he brings me to school.

"Bye!" I closed the door and walked to the entrance of the school.

Astrid was there, and she had something behind her back.

"Happy birthday bestie!" She smiled. I smiled and hugged her.

"Thanks Astrid! What's behind your back?" I asked. She pulled out a box and gave it to me.

"You wrapped it and everything! Looks nice!" I opened it to reveal a fidget spinner.

"Woah! A fidget spinner! Cool! Thanks!"

"There's another thing in there, look!" I opened the the gift more and it showed another fidget spinner.

"Wow! Gold and then a Rainbow one, this is so cool! Brendon's gonna be so jealous!" I said as we both walked to our lockers, which were beside each other.

"Why is he gonna be jealous?" She asked.

"Because he has two, but ones black and the other one's white. Mine are of cooler colours." I laughed, causing her to laugh.

"You know how Brendon woke me up today?" I asked, wanting to tell her the story.

"How?"

"Well, he had plugged in speakers in my room while I was asleep. And the.n he hooked his wireless microphone to the stereos and blasted Miss Jackson in my room, singing in his girl voice the whole time. It was funny. I even forgot it was my birthday, he had to tell me." We both laughed. I put my spinners in my backpack and we both walked to class, even though we had a half an hour to ourself.

We got to school pretty early.

We just talked in class, waiting for English to start.

Yeah, the only thing that sucked today was that I had Mr. Canel.

"Brendon sounds fun!" She said. I nodded and smiled, thinking of all the fun I've had with Brendon so far.

He's only been my father for four days.

"He is fun, he's the best dad I've ever had. Just this morning, he got me a piano. He told me that I have a bigger birthday gift after school, and I'm scared because I don't know what it is." I laughed nervously.

Astrid and I continued talking until Mr. Canel walked in class.

"Alright, so today is someone's birthday. Can we please wish Faelecia a happy birthday?" He had no emotion in his voice.

Everyone smiled and sang happy birthday to me. I smiled and thanked everyone.

"Now back to class, we're going to learn about debates." He said.

After school was over, I hung out with Patrick at his locker, while I waited for Brendon to come in and pick me up.

"So, how's your day been so far?" Asked Patrick.

"Great! Astrid got me some fidget spinners and Brendon got me a piano. He also said he had a big birthday gift for me, so I'm excited about that. How's yours been?" I replied.

"Good!"

"Um, can I talk to you, in private?" He asked. I nodded and we went to a corner where no one was.

"Don't hate me, but I kinda have a crush on you. It's fine if you don't like me back, but I just thought you should know." He said.

"Awh, Patrick! I never thought you'd say that! I love you back!" I smiled, making Patrick smile back. We hugged and went back to his locker.

"And try not to mention this to Brendon, I think he'd be too over protective." I told Patrick, who nodded.

We talked some more, until everyone had to go on the bus.

Brendon didn't want me to take the bus because he didn't want people knowing where we live, unless they were my friends.

I waited a couple minutes, just play with my spinner and going on my phone.

Brendon tagged me in a photo once and ever since then, I became popular. I had over four hundred thousand people following me.

My Twitter was popping too. I had four hundred thousand followers there too.

I posted a photo of my fidget spinner on Instagram and waited, again, for Brendon.

He was half an hour late, come on.

Finally, whilst I was putting away my spinner, I heard the door open. Brendon had a leather jacket on and he kinda rushed through the door.

"There's my pretty birthday girl! Sorry I'm late, I was stuck in traffic, but I'm here!" He said. I nodded and took Brendon's hand.

We walked to the car and we both got in.

"How was your day?" He asked.

"Great! Astrid got me two fidget spinners. A rainbow one and a gold one." Brendon gasped and smiled.

"Cooler than my spinners!" I took the AUX cord again, plugging my phone in and playing Panic!

"So, you excited for your gift?" He asked, causing me to nod my head rapidly.

"Of course I am!" I laughed.

We pulled up to the house and Brendon wanted me to wait before going inside. He took my bag inside though, so it was just me waiting.

I spin around, making my skirt spin with me.

"Alright, come in!" Brendon took my hand and led me inside.

"Oh my god!"
