It was the day before spring break and I was ready to finally have some time off. My parents were going away by themselves leaving me home alone for a whole week. I was thinking of what I could do, since my birthday was this week I decided to have a party some day. But what would I do for the rest of the week?
I got home and my parents were already gone. I threw my backpack on the ground in my room and sprawled out on my bed with a deep sigh. What to do, I thought.
I took out my phone and texted my best friend Dustin.
"Hey Dustin, are you going anywhere this weekend?" I asked him.
I put my phone back in my pocket and went into the kitchen to get a snack. I grabbed a granola bar and headed back into my room to watch tv.
I sat down on my bed, turned on my tv, and took out my phone.
"Nah Crystal, I wouldn't miss your birthday!" He said
"Ah good do you can help me plan on what to do for a party!" I replied excited about turning 17.
I continued watching tv and talking to Dustin about my party, we decided to go in a group conversation with our friend London since she was great at party planning.
"Hey guys what's up?" London said
"Wondering what to do for my birthday" I told her
"OMG I have the best idea! Can we come over to discuss???" She asked
"Yeah sure." I told them
"I'll be over in ten" London said
"Same" Dustin added.
Ten minutes later Dustin and London showed up. London was jumping up and down excitedly and Dustin was trying to make her calm down.
We all sat on the ground surrounded by my computer figuring out the details. Dustin wanted a pool party but London wanted a slumber party with a lot of girls which ruled out Dustin. And I didn't want to just forget about one of my friends so we compromised. Once we had all the details worked out and everyone was happy London and Dustin left.
I was really excited about my party but we decided to wait till the last Saturday of spring break so we had something to look forward to and something for people to remember and talk about at school.
All week I anticipated for my party but I played it off and just had London and Dustin over during the week to swim and just hang out. Then the night came, the night of my birthday. I made sure I had my best bathing suit and outfits for the night.
We invited everyone we knew, from my classes, Dustin's classes, and London's classes. We figured go big or go home. The party started at 2 but we knew it would last for awhile. I had a really big house so I knew I would be able to fit everyone. My parents were natural party planners so they didn't mind me throwing a party, actually they expected it, even gave me money for it.
London arrived first to help me set up and Dustin came a little bit after to help with setting up tables and stuff. Also he was in charge of the cake, he showed up with a three tiered cake with a mirage of comedy shows I loved.
Once we set everything up we had about thirty minutes to chill out before everyone came.
"So the movies are all picked out? The ones I wanted not London?" I asked just to make sure.
"Yeah they are." Dustin said.
"Hey my choices were awesome thank you very much." London said defending herself.
"I don't think many people would want to watch high school musical three at a seventeen year olds birthday party." Dustin said laughing.
"Hey, high school musical three is a classic." London said
