"Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to Aurora, Happy birthday to you and many more!" Everyone sang around me! I looked at the cake that was placed in front of me; Chowder themed! I blew out the candles and yelled, "Rada Radda!"  Everyone burst out laughing.

I'm officially 12 but unfortunately, I'm still a year and a half younger than Colton.

I opened all my presents. I got three new t-shirts from George, Peter and Harley. Mom got me a make up set (which I secretly have to April), dad gave me one of his gadgets (don't ask what it does because I seriously don't know), Blake got me a hamster (who I named Chubby), and a bunch of other things.

"Hey, Tink come here for a second!" Tony called me over by the Christmas tree,

"What is it Tony?"

He handed me a box, "this is for you!"

I opened the box to see a silver necklace with an infinity symbol in the middle, "oh Tony! It's so pretty!"

"Flip it over!"

I did as he said and the word  FRIENDS was engraved on it,

I looked at him, "I don't get it!"

He pulled up his sleeve and revealed a similar silver chain with an infinity symbol but in the form of a masculine bracelet. He flipped it over and revealed the word: "BEST."

"It's matching bracelets," I hug him, "thanks Tony, it's awesome!"

"I figured you'd like it, besides... your mom helped me."

"Can you put it on me?" He nodded. I lifted my brown hair and turned my back to him so it was easier to put on. After he clasped it, I turn back to him and fingered the necklace, "thanks, really!"

"No problem, I'd do anything for my girl," He pulled me into a hug and we held each other.

It was in this moment that I fell in love with my best friend.
