Nick insisted that he pay and bring the cookies along with us. Just so we didn't argue again, I let him do both. On our way back to his car, the only thing I could think of was, 'why is he being so nice to me today?'

"Nick?"

"Yes?"

"Why ate you being so nice to me? Normally, you would call me names anytime you could."

"Well, its your sixteenth birthday and you deserve to be happy. Plus, I was told I had to be nice to you."

"Oh." I guess I sounded disappointed, even though I didn't mean to.

"Alex, look at me."

I looked up at him. There was worry in his eyes.

"I don't want you to believe any of those words that we tell you. Ok? You're not fat, ugly, or a bitch. You are an amazing, beautiful girl, and don't you forget that, ok?"

"Ok."

When we got to his car, he opened and closed my door for me. While in the car, I studied him. His messed up, short brown hair. His deep green eyes. His thin, yet plump, lips. Not to mention his smell, oh my god it's heavenly. The smell of the heart of a rainforest. I don't think I could ever get enough of him. I didn't realize I was starting until he said something.

"Like what you see?"

I blushed uncontrollably and put my head down, so hair would cover my checks. I just hope he didn't notice I was blushing like that. I guess he did because he started to laugh. When I asked him what was so funny, he told me I was what was so funny. The nerve of this guy.

Soon the car came to a stop. I looked out the window and saw that we were at the park. No one was there so we had the whole thing to ourselves. I was happy, I haven't been to the park since I was twelve and it was with Katie and Riley, of course.

Everyone was banned from coming here because some would shift into their wolf and run around in the woods. Soon the hikers and people on the trials became afraid, and we were forced to only run on our land.

We walked down to the stream and sat down. Nick wrapped his arm around me and I leaned into him. After about ten minutes I fell asleep in his arms.

When Nick woke me up, I checked my phone. It was already six. I was asleep for almost two hours.

"You let me sleep for two hours!" I yelled, still shocked.

"You looked peaceful while sleeping. I would have let you sleep longer but you can go home now."

"I still can't believe you let me sleep for two hours." I mumbled.

The drive back to my house was quiet, since the radio was turned off. When we got to my house, all of the lights were off. I grabbed the key from under the doormat when I found that the door was locked. When I got inside everyone from the pack yelled 'surprise'. It was amazing, the house was completely decorated. Soon, Nick, Ben, Jerry, and their friends all picked me up. I shrieked as they lifted me up and carried me to the backyard. They stopped just before reaching the pool. Once I realized that they were going to throw me in, I started to yell. The next thing I know, I'm being thrown into the air and then the cool water of the pool stats to engulf me.

When I got out of the pool you can see my bra through my soaking wet shirt. I cover my chest and run inside to get changed. Katie and Riley followed me up there to help me find a new outfit.

We pick out a matching black lace bra and underwear. Riley and Katie disappear into my closet to find my a dress and shoes while I get out of my wet clothes.

I slip my new underwear on just as they walked They hand me a black dress that came down to my knees and was strapless. It fits perfectly. I let them dry my hair and do my make-up, because they insisted. I pulled my hair up into a ponytail and slipped on my black vans.
