“Happy Birthday Tyler!” His friends shouted while blew fourteen candles out. “Thanks, guys! You know… this cake looks great but my gifts look better.”

“Tyler!” Sona, his mom said upsettingly. “Be nice” She nudged him towards the seat and he started cutting slices for all of them. “It’s just that since I’m getting a job soon, I thought I had a little more freedom now that I’m fourteen-“ “Now Tyler, how many times have I told you not to say that word, you don’t want the police busting in do you?” Sona cut him off shaking her head. “Sorry mom.” Everyone ate their cake and looked outside as another APM passed by. Tyler and his 3 friends stared at the "Dang... those things go fast." One of his friends said getting up to leave. "Well thanks a lot for the cake, Tyler, enjoy your present!" He left, tripping on the way out. "Wow, he's a little different." Tyler said jokingly. Everyone laughed, including his mom. "Well, even though he's weird, he is a nice kid. Respect him." Sona told Tyler and his friends with a smile.

"That was a great party! Thanks for inviting me." Arris, Tyler's best friend said. Tyler and Arris both hugged and ate their last piece of cake.

"Yeah man, thanks this was great." Alexa, one of Tyler's friends walked up with cake all over her face and just smiled. "Yum." Tyler and Arris laughed. "Isn't your birthday coming up soon?" Asked Arris. "Yeah, I'm turning 14 this month. They continued to talk and suddenly, Arris started to blush. He turned around and pointed to the presents. "So when are we going to open those?" Alexa blushed as well, and pulled her present out of her pocket. "Here you go!" It was a small, black, circular object with a one flat surface and what looked like a camera on the other. "Is this a camera?" Tyler asked. "Yeah, you can throw it at any flat surface and should stick and start recording. It's cool because it rolls over to the flat side here. I think it's got about... 48 hours of video. It streams the video to your tablet automatically. Pretty sweet huh?" "Yeah! Thanks a lot Alexa. Where do you get these?" "Haha, my dad knows a guy." They both hugged and turned to Arris. Arris handed Tyler his present. It was a huge pocket knife.
