Haley wakes me up early. I like making Hope pancakes for her birthday. I get up and go to the kitchen. I make the batter and pour them onto the pan. I cook them up. Haley makes eggs and bacon. We put them on a plate than on a tray. I pour some coffee and make it exactly how she likes it.

Haley and  I walk up to her room. I open the door to see her still fast asleep. I hand Haley the tray and jump on the bed.  Hope jumps up and pushes me across the room.

"Hope!" I hear Haley yell at her. I shake it off and get up.

"I'm fine." I confirm. I grab the tray off the night stand and hand it to my sleepy best friend.

Hope smiles happily as she takes a bite of pancake.

"So you eat and I'll set up our spa appointment." Haley smiles as she stands up and walks out of the room.

"So how's 15 so far?" I ask.

"Not that different from 14." She laughs. I steal a piece of bacon from her and she slaps my hand. "Mine."

"Sharing is caring my best friend." I chow down on the bacon. Hope lays down in her bed. I follow laying next to her.

"I hope this is a good year." She says.

"I think it will be. Hey you're 15 and havent triggered your curse so you're already doing better than me."

Hope laughs but nods in a agreement.

Someone knocks on the door.

"Come in." We say in unison.

The door opens to reveal Freya. She has five bags in her hands.

"I come baring gifts." She holds up the presents.

She hands Hope a blue sparkly gift bag. Its smaller than the rest. "Open this one first its from me." Freya smiles. Hope tears through the tissue paper to reveal a black box. She opens it. Inside is a silver bracelet with a emerald in the center.

"My birthstone." Hope says studying the piece of jewelry. She looks up at Freya. "Thank you so much I love it." She wraps her arms around her aunt. Freya squeezes her tight back. They break away.

"Okay the next one is from Kol and devina." She hands her a pink bag with white tissue paper.

"Uncle Kol obviously picked out the bag." I chime in. Hope starts to laugh as she look through the bag.  She pulls out a book. I look at the title. "A tale of two friends. Hmm sounds interesting."

"Uncle Kol used to read this to me when I was little. Its about to unlikely friends from different world who come together to defeat an evil ancient pirate. I can't believe he remembered." She stares at the book. She sets it in her lap.  She pulls out a new black bikers jacket. "Awesome davina always knows what I want."

"Okay the next one is from aunt Bex right?" I assume.

Freya nods handing Hope the silver bag.

Hope pulls out a eyeshadow palette and two lip glosses.

"Omg these are so pretty." I say.

"Yea they are I'll be sure to thank her." Hope says putting them back in the bag. Shes not big on makeup but I am so I will most likely be stealing those.

"Okay Lilly this is for both of you." She hands me a black sparkly bag. I look at her confused. "You didnt think I forgot your birthday did you?" She laughs.

I smile and unwrap the tissue paper inside is again two black boxes.

I open one a purple gem with the letter 'L' embedded in the gem is hanging  from a silver necklace.
