WHO WILL IT BE?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY & HELLOO NEW BOY

Authors note
Hiiii everyone. I hope you like this book. Heres the first chapter,hope you all like it.

This morning I woke up at six. It's my birthday which,to me,is no big deal. The party planned would consist of my one and only friend,Eve Daniels,and my family. Many kids call me a Loner or a Loser because i don't have many friends and hardly associate with others, but who cares? I sure don't.

Downstairs I hear a bustling noise and, grumpily, get out of bed. Halfway down the stairs I came to an abrupt halt. As I peered into the living room I could see red and black. EVERYWHERE! I ran further down and into the living room. UNBELIEVABLE! The lounge has been redecorated. There were black table cloths and red serviettes draped over tables. Our old green pillow cases were replaced by black ones with red rose prints on them. By the door hung one black curtain between two red ones,while red balloons covered the walls.

"Do you like it?"mom asked from behind me. "Like it? I Love it!" I shrieked and went into the kitchen and hugged her." Thanks mom." "Sure honey. Happy birthday. I hope you enjoy your day. You may be 16,but you are still my baby. I love you and hope that you will take care of yourself. Thank you for being the great daughter that you are. You've brought nothing,but joy and happiness into my life," mom said with tears brimming her eyes." Awwww mom. I love you too," I said and hugged her tighter.

"Now go get dressed for school," said mom. "Okay,okay. I'm going," I said. "Hang on. Don't I get a hug this morning? Not in the mood for your old man today,huh?" dad asked entering the kitchen. "Daaaadddd," I whined. Dad chuckled." Happy birthday kiddo. I will always love you baby girl. As you and everyone know I'm not good at speeches so this will be quick. I'm glad you have grown into this extraordinary girl. You've made me proud on more than one occasion. On a serious note,though: just because you are 16 doesnt mean you are to big for a good old hiding." he said and chuckled. "Thank you dad," I said and hugged him. My dad and I have one thing in common:we hate speeches,unfortunately, I have to make one tonight.

"You can get ready now."he said. "I'm going," I said and headed up to my room. It's 06:30 and I decided to shower,put on my school uniform,brushed my hair and packed my school bag.

Mom prepared my breakfast;coffee and pancakes,which is only done on occasions like this. Mom and dad got ready for work while I ate. As I finished my coffee there was a knock on the door. It was Eve. "Hey! Happy birthday!"she screamed and hugged me. "Thanks,come on in."I said. "Whoa. This is soooo cool!Love the colour scheme."she said. "I know,thanks."I said. "In case you are wondering why I came to you it's because I wanted to give your gift." she said." You know I said I dont want anything." "Oh,since when do I listen to you?" "Never." "Exactly"

She handed me a gold giftbag and inside was a birthday card and a small box. Inside the box was a silver chain with my name on it:Amelia,and a charm bracelet." These are sooo pretty. Thanks Evie," I said. "My pleasure,Lia" she said and i hugged her. We broke apart just as mom and dad came down. "Good morning Mr. and Mrs Thompson," she greeted. "Morning Eve,"mom and dad said in unison. "Lia,this is for you,"dad said and handed me a box. I unwrapped the box and inside was an iPod and red-and-black headphones. "Thank you so much!" I shrieked and hugged them. Eve and my parents laughed at my response. We got in the car and my parents dropped us off at school.

At the entrance of the school Eve and I split up. Eve was joined by a group of girls while I sat on a bench close to my homeclass. As i put on my headphones a group of boys walked past me. I looked up and saw it was the elite group of boys from the school. I made eye contact with the leader of the group who happens to be my grade8 crush, but i got over it. Lyle Alexander,the most wanted boy in Triton High. Immediately,i turned my attention back to my phone. "The bell rang. We need to get to get to class." Eve said appearing beside me. "Comin'"I said and we scurried to class

Mr. Abrahams took register and the worst thing happened. Okay to you it might not sound so bad,but if you were in my shoes you'd understand. You dont want a class,who already consider you a loser,to sing to you. "Sir,its Lia's birthday." Eve announced. "Who's Lia?"one boy asked. "The Loner," another boy answered. "Oh yeah,"the first boy replied. This made everyone snicker. "Settle down!" said Mr. Abrahams. The class went silent. "Amelia. Would you please come to the front,please?" Mr. A asked. Nervously,I stood up and went to the front. Eve was the first to start singing and soon everyone joined in. If looks could kill,Eve would be dead by now. "You know you love me."she whispered to me.

The bell rang meaning the start of our next period,English. English is a subject I enjoy because of Mr. Isaacs. He had a way with words and it is something I really admire. Today was different. We just sat there with a Comprehension we had to complete. Eve took this opportunity to pass me a note.
Eve:Who's all coming to the party?
Lia: Let's discuss this later.
Eve:Ok. What are u wearing tonite?
Lia: Do ur work!
Eve:Tell me!!
Lia: We'll see
Eve: By the way, the boy behind Jason is looking at you.
Lia: There are 2 boys behind him
Eve: curly brown hair
Lia: Lyle?!No way!!! Must be mistaken.
Eve: Suit yourself

The next 3 periods went by in a blur and before break Mr. A announced that he wanted to see me at break.

Mr. A was speaking to Ms. Elliot,our principal. I waited outside until she left before entering the class. "Sir you wanted to see me?" I asked. "Ah yes. Thank you for coming."he said and returned to his desk where an attractive boy stood. He had jet-black hair,was tall and muscular.

"This is Tyler Lewis. He's new here and officially one of your classmates. I would appreciate it if you would show him around." Mr. A said. I'm not one to talk much so why did Mr. A choose me? "Sure Mr. A." I said. "Thanks Lia. Tyler,this is Amelia. She will show you around."sir said. "Nice to meet you." I said with a shy smile and outstretched my hand." Likewise" he said shaking my hand and giving me a smile

Only 10 minutes left of break and I took Tyler around the school,showing him whose class is whose and what subjects are taught there. Break ended and we hurried to Maths. When we arrived to class Ms. Erasmus already let the class in. "Why are you so late,Amelia?You are never late" said Ms. Erasmus. "Sorry ma'am,but Mr. A asked me to show Tyler around and I guess I lost track of time,"I said.

"Oh yes Mr. Lewis,our new student. Thank you Amelia. Will you help him catch up?"she asked. "Yes Ms. E,"I said. "Thank you,dear." We entered the class and got everyones attention. Ms. E introduced him to the class. Tyler ended up next to Robyn. Robyn is the the leader if the girls of the elite group and Eve and I just call her the Ultimate Bitch. She has some sort of thing against me and I'm unaware of what that is. It turns out that Tyler is with me in Geography and History,too,and those went by quickly.

Second break.

Tyler approached me while I was seated on a bench reading. "Hey," I said as I looked up. "Hi. Sorry for the disturbance,but I wanted to know if I could borrow your Maths book please?"he asked. "Sure no problem."I said,taking out my book and gave it to him. "Thanks," he said,smiled a small smile and walked away. Eve approached me
Eve:Why were you late for Maths?
Lia: I showed Tyler around
Eve: I saw him. How come you got to do it?
Lia: Im clueless. Mr. A asked me
Eve: Makes sense. Mr. A adores you
Lia: Because i actually listen to him.
Eve:Are you going to invite Tyler to your party?
Lia:No
Eve: Why not?
Lia: I dont know him. He dont know me. I cant just invite him.
Eve:we can get to know him
Lia: I will see
Eve: Fine

In homeclass Tyler was sitting by himself scribbling down notes in a book. I walked over to him. "Sorry. Uhm... I wanted to know if you'd be interestedin coming to my birthday party tonight? I know its a little short notice and you dont know me,but i thought..."" Thanks for the invite. I will ask my mom."he interupted me with a knowing smile. I was grateful for the interuption because I was nervous so I kept on rambling. "Okay. Thanks." I said. "You could send me your details via text message."he said. "Yeah,sure" I said and gave him my phone number and vice versa.

"Thanks,"I said and turned to walk away. As I turned to walk he said,"Happy birthday,Amelia."and i couldnt help but look back over my shoulder. I saw a hint of a smile and smiled in return. "So?" Eve asked when I returned to my desk. "He's going to ask his mom." I said. "Cool. Cant wait,"she said.
