Hours passed by through the night of continuous game play until I ran by a group chat with various people in it, soon talking to some of them, but the one with the name of xXKquirk_Striker. On the chat, my name was Pastel_DReams. For some reason this chat went on for hours and hours it felt, but never once would I cease to stop talking to this mysterious person. We always would play halo, minecraft, sometimes even online uno or checkers. Any game was fun as long as my online pal was by my side to talk to. 

It was already 5:37 am and I didn't even think once about sleeping until my dad walking through the door, raising an eyebrow, asking why I was up so late. The only thing I could say was "Well, I was playing some games and I couldn't sleep.." "Why didn't you tell me, I could have just talked to you.." replied Tom, kind of just staring now at my laptop. "Okay well I'll go to bed then, goodnight dad." "Alright goodnight Tami," he replied, kissing my forehead and soon leaving the room. After that, I realized I had to get off that night, soon telling my friend I would talk to them tomorrow later on. 

Soon, I dozed off into a deep snooze, realizing I woke up at at least 3:25 pm, "oh shit", I thought to myself, realizing my dads would probably scold me or something, maybe even worse, my grandpa... I realized why the house was so quiet though.. It was my birthday! Of all the things that happened, it was my birthday. "Oh joy", I scoffed at myself, kind of a bit weary of how things would go honestly. I quickly got onto my laptop, already noticing my friend left 5 messages.

It was already 5:00 pm and my dads called me downstairs; soon I came running downstairs and of course they pop out, everyone just yelled "SURPRISE!!" I almost fell off the stairs, sputtering. "You almost, gave me, a HEART ATTACK." "Sorry Tam, heh didn't mean to scare ya". My grandpa as usual was really big with birthdays, I didn't really know why, but it was pretty nice to have my family remember my birthday. Hours of eating cake and icecream, the song of classical ol' happy birthday, and soon came.. presents.. O_O" ohhh boy here we go.. 

"First present will be the best present", scoffed Tom, looking over at Tord. "Nah Tami will like my present better", snapped Tord right back at him, it soon turned into an argument until my grandpa gave the most darkest glares he could, causing them to stay quiet. I'm telling you, if looks could kill, mankind would be dead from this man. My grandpa went ahead and gave me the present gotten for me. 

Quickly, I opened the present, slightly shaking the box like a little kid desperate for candy. I was kind of shocked by the present, but I could honestly say I loved it. I had gotten a sketchpad and some pencils and art supplies; Tord and Tom just stared at the smile on my face, kind of confused why I liked it so much, they acted like jealous toddlers who didn't like to share, it was kind of priceless honestly. 

"Thanks grandpa, I love them", I smiled, hugging him. Getting a hug in returned, he smiled slightly, ruffling my hair. "Glad you do kiddo." Soon, both of my dads kind of just shoved two gift bags in my face, I kind of grabbed them, a bit skittish of them being so close. Opening gifts one by one, I pulled out clothing and a phone. I thanked both of them, clinging a tight hug onto each of them.  Soon enough, I set up my chat account and video games onto my phone, happy to have things on there. 
The sun was already setting once again, soon enough I take my things to my room, chatting my friend to tell them I was too tired to even talk at the moment, kind of apologizing, but like a good friend, they assured me it was okay.
