Once I get up to my room after the incredibly awkward encounter with my mother I put Harry on my bed and my new 5sos album on my bedside table next to my CD player. I turn back "hey, stop, stop, STOP"! Harry has begun chewing up my scarf "stop it NOW"! I pull it violently from his mouth; there are slight holes in it from his teeth. It's 9:15 and I have still not yet heard from Amy, I think it's beginning to become a little bit weird but I don't worry about it too much because it is Amy after all... She's probably with her boyfriend Derek making out in the back of his muscle car to the sound of Peirce The Veil. As I go to put my new CD into the player something catches my eye on the casing... I look and it has Issy's phone number on it, "oh" I say to myself. Why would she put her number in this? So I think well Amy probably isn't going to show up after all so I go and take shower so I can clear my mind. Once I am dressed in my new pyjama's (fyi, they’re incredibly fluffy) I put on the heater and begin listening to 5sos. I text Issy and within 30 seconds of the message being sent I get a reply! We talk for about half an hour and then I hear a knock on the door. "Mum get the door, it's probably a beggar asking for money"... There was no response so I go back to my phone when all of a sudden my door swings open and a bag is chucked on the end of my bed. I look up in fright. There standing in my door was Amy. It was 10:32 and she had finally arrived. "What's your excuse this time?" I say expecting some terrible excuse. "I'm so sorry Belle you probably won't understand but Derek and I were at the mall and we went past the cinemas and there was this really cool looking movie, a-a-and we thought we s-s-should maybe go see it. I-I-I said that we shouldn't but he insisted we did, so I just followed. "Pppffttt, that's the lamest excuse" I said still scrolling through instagram on my phone. "Sorry" Amy said looking at me with those eye’s that Puss and Boot's does that no one could resist.
Amy sit's herself on my bed and there is about 5 centimetres between us, she has no sense of space invasion. At this point I was still texting Issy when Amy sticks her nose in and say's "Who are you talking to miss popular"? and it was at that moment I remembered that Issy and Amy had been arch enemies all throughout school, and if I told Amy that I was becoming closer and closer with Issy she would have had an absolute fit. "Uhhh, no one... Just my cousin from Australia"... She looks at me suspiciously but then continues chatting up guys. I turned to look at my clock and it was 11:46. "It's my birthday in 14 minutes wwhhhoooo"! Amy continues on her phone so I pretend I never said anything. When it hit's 12:00 Amy hit's me in the face with a pillow, "ouch what did you do that for"... She replies with "happy birthday looser, ex oh ex oh mwah". This birthday wasn't the best birthday considering I waited at Starbucks for an hour for no reason, I got a hole in my scarf and I just got hit in the face with a pillow.
I woke up at 9:13 to the sound of people blowing these horrid things making screeching noises that sounded like a dying animal. I tried to open my eyes but they hurt so much from light, my face was all scrunched up and I probably looked like I had a sultana for a face but then once I sat up my whole family was there. My grandpa, grandma, mum, two younger cousins and then there was Amy... HAPPY BIRTHDAY BELLE!!! They were all chanting. My youngest cousin named Maya who was 6 came up to me with a purple box. I opened it. "Oh my gosh thanks so much, you don't even know how much this means to me guys". I was given two passes to All Time Low's concert and they even had backstage passes. I thought I should take Amy considering I didn't really have any other friend's.
Author's Note: It's getting to the good part eventually I just need to work my way up to it :)
