Book 1- I Hope You're Happy Triology- Everything At Once (Annie's P.O.V)

*Ch 9 New York !!! ! !!! (Not edited, yet)

So, Britt and I put on our clothes in a similiar way (as usual) It's like a habit. Old habits die hard right? Anyway, our hair was in french braids. We both wore jet black jeans with blue converse high-tops paired with snow-white socks. A dainty watch on our left hand. Small, metallic one stud earrings. Over our tops we wore cardagians which covered the name over the front (well, we covered the opening. The full sleeves of the cardagians rolled upto our elbows.

So, on the way, we stopped by Austin's house. His little sister Fergie opened the door. He calls her little, but Fergie's my age. He also has an elder brother. Actually, his twin who is a couple of months elder to him. His name's Jake.

"Hey", we told Fergie. Fergie invited us in. We declined and just asked,"Are you're brothers' around? And are the three of you'll gonna come down and play today? Cause it's always just Austin." fergie looked at us suprised. "Jake is coming today and so am I. Didn't Austin tell you two? He's in New York. College. He's gone there just for a year or so. But, knowing him, he will finish his studies there and only then come back." "Yeah", Britt and I said together,"and no. Your brother didn't tell us. But thanks for telling us. Anyway, we are going now. See you'll two soon." "Yeah. Thanks. See you soon then. Bye", Fergie said.

"Ok", I told Britt. "Lets forget Austin. Not think about him or even talk, ok?" Britt agreed. So, Jake and Fergie came down soon. "Yo, guys", Jake said hi the tipical way guys usually would. Boring. "Hey", Fergie said. I really like her. She's so sweet.

"So. What do you wanna play?" Fergie asked. "21", I and Britt said at the same time." "Ok", Fergie said. "But the person who gets 21 asks the question and decides what everyones gotta do", Jake said. We all agreed. "I'll start", Fergie said.

"1", Fergie said.

"2, 3, 4", Jake said.

"5, 6 and 7", Brittnèa said.

"8, 9 and 10", I said.

"11, 12", Fergie said.

"13", Jake said.

"14, 15, 16", Britt continued chirpingly.

"17", I said smiling.

"18, 19", Fergie said softly.

"20, 21", Jake said laughingly.

"Hmm", Jake said. "How does dare sound to you all?" Jake asked. We all nodded. "Animals in the zoo. Different dares for everyone related to animals." "But you will take the easy one", Britt said arguing. "Nah. I'm not that type", Jake said. "Ok, Britt. How about, you go first?" "Do I have a choice?" Britt asked. "No, you don't. I just asked you", Jake said.

"Hmm, I'm gonna give you the best one. And everyone, no backing out, kay? You've gotta do the dare." "Ok", Fergie, Britt and I said at the same time. "Britt, see the slide there? In the middle of the garden, which is also, in the middle of the building?" "Uh, yeah", Britt said. "Well", Jake continued. "Go on it, ok? Then, you've gotta scratch your head and say'I, Brittnèa Swift, am a monkey, from Timbuktu' 10 times." "Uh, no choice, right?" Britt said. "Nope", we all said laughing. "But, everyone's playing there! They can all see me", Britt said. "Thats the point. Now stop arguing and go", Jake said. "Ok", Britt said.

She then climbed the 15 steps up the slide. Its quite high, if you don't know. She then began saying,"I, Brittnèa Swift, am a monkey, from Timbuktu. I, Brittnèa Swift, am a monkey, from Timbuktu. I, Brittnèa Swift, am a monkey, from Timbuktu. I, Brittnèa Swift, am a monkey, from Timbuktu. I, Brittnèa Swift, am a monkey, from Timbuktu. I, Brittnèa Swift, am a monkey, from Timbuktu. I, Brittnèa Swift, am a monkey, from Timbuktu. I, Brittnèa Swift, am a monkey, from Timbuktu. I, Brittnèa Swift, am a monkey, from Timbuktu. I, Brittnèa Swift, am a monkey, from Timbuktu." She then got off the slide.

"Fine? 10 times. I said it 10 times", Brittnèa said, blushing. "Yeah, yeah. You did", we three said laughing. We had tears coming out of our eyes. "I even made a video", I said. "This, is SO going on fb", I said. I then put my phone in my pocket. It had a screen lock and Britt, unfortunately didn't know the password. "You're next", Jake looked at me. "Ok", I nodded.

"Ok. You and me. So no discrimination done." he looked at Britt. "Ok, come with me", we went to the colony gate. "Stand here and bark like a dog for 30 seconds." "Come on", I said. "That's cheap and kiddish." "Everything's cheap for you. And for the kiddish part, it's a dare. You've gotta do it. Britt, count upto 30", he said turning towards Britt. We then performed the stupid dare.

"Now, Anniw Swift. Your videos also going on fb.", Britt said. "Ok", I said to her dissappointment. "But your'sis still better."

Next was Fergie. Jake went light on her. All she had to do was go round the building once like a frog. Making frog noises and hopping like one. She's a good sport. "Take my video if you want. I'm not only gonna do this. I'm gonna do Britt's and Annie's dare, too.I'll do both." "Ok", we said. "Suit yourself", Jake said.

She first did the frog thing. Second the dog bark thing. Then, she got on the slide and began scratching her head saying,"I, Fergie Montez, am a monkey from China" (she changed the place herself.)

We then played '21' for some more time. After half an hour, we began playing football. We played football for two hours straight. Suddenly Jake was staring at me. "What's with your top?" "Oh, see the back", I said. "But doesn't Kutcher spell his name in some other way?" "Come on. You know Britt and her spellings. How bad she is t them." Jake went with it but didn't looked too convinced.

Finally, after a long game on football (soccer) we all sat in the garden. I took a sip of the Coke we had just bought from the grocery shop a couple of blocks away. Right next to Alicia's house. I then passed it to Jake who was sitting next to me. He took a long sip and passed it to Fergie, who took a couple of small sips. Fergie then passed it to Britt, who finished the remainder in 3-4 sips. We then decided on playing 'kick the can' with the bottle. Fergie took her den.

We played for half an hour with everyone, including Alicia, Tyler and Justin who were playing football at the moment. They are really huge Manchaster United, Arsenel and Chelsey fans, respectively. So, them giving up their game of football to play kick the can is BIG. They should be given an award or something.

We then went home and had a bath and everything. Then went to sleep since we were really tired.

Nothing happened the next few weeks. I came to know we were shifting. Oh no. But luckily, the plan got cancelled. Yay.
