"Happy Birthday!"They all yelled as she enters her best friend's Sara's house, making her slightly jump. There were only a handful of people in the party but thats just how she liked it. She was never a party girl and only had a handful of friends.
She gasped and smiled "Thank you so much" she said going over to sara who put this all together, giving her the biggest hug.
"You're welcome! anything for my best friend, besides you need it, you've been working really hard with school and sh*t". Sara said smiling "Go socialize and have Jen". Sara walked off to start the music and turned it up to where everybody can hear it but not loud enough that the neighbors will complain, Thats how Jen liked it, she think a lot about others too.
Jen walked over to her other friends giving them hugs and making small talk when a tall guy walked over to her, he had jet black her with beautiful blue eyes that was slightly being hidden because of his black framed glasses.
He goes over to her all nervous and blushing, see he had a crush on her since 5th grade and it never really went away. Jen liked him too everyone else knows but they both never had a chance to discuss it because of awkwardness or always getting interrupted etc. They've just been really close friends since then.
"Happy Birthday Jen" he said smiling and giving her a small rectangular box.
"You shouldn't have! Thank you so much Damian" She hugged him tight and he hugged her back.
"I have to talk to you in pri-" Damian was cut off by 2 other close friends Madison and Mason they were fraternal twins they're quite inseparable. They both gave Jen her gift and hugs then walked off to talk to others.
Jen looked back at Damian and said "Im sorry about that, you were saying?"
"Its all good" Damian said and paused for a little while Jen was looking at him waiting patiently waiting for him to continue the rest of whatever he was going to say.
"ok jen the thing is, I really li-" Damian was once again cut off by the doorbell ringing. Everybody turned to the direction of the door to see who it was.
Sara went to open it but no one was there, she looked down and it was a small box address to "Jennifer Butler". She picked up the box and smiled. When everybody saw that no one was there they all went back to what they were doing before.
Sara walked over to where Jen and Damian were standing and handed Jen the mystery box. "Hey Jen do you have any "special" friends you haven't told me about" Sara teased her. Jen rolled her eyes playfully and smiled, she then looked at the box confused.
"from anonymous" she said, sara and Damian looked at each other then looked back at the box sara was holding. Jen opened the box and its a ring, a plane silver platinum ring with Jens full name on it. She was surprised and started thinking who possibly got this for her. Jens phone rang and it was a text from a blocked number.
"Happy Birthday Jen, Hope to be working with you soon." Sara looked at the text message and was confused as well.
"Did you apply for a job jen?" sara asked.
"I did at the library, though i don't think they would send me this! do you know how much a silver platinum ring cost?!" Jen said.
"I know! just.. keep it or something i mean it was for you." jen said.
Damian who is still standing there just as confused as the others said "Text the number back and ask who it is."
Seconds later her phone rang again. "You'll find out soon." The mystery person texted.
Jens heart dropped when she read the message.
"I know who it is!" Sara yelled "Its probably you parents!"
Jen looked at her "why would it be my parents."
Sara remember that Jens parents said that they were going to send a mini gift for Jen, followed by a surprise when Jen gets home. She did not want to ruin the big surprise so she just left it at that.
"Don't worry Jen, I figured it out now lets have fun!" Sara said
"Ok" Jen said still confused but brushed it off.
"Hey Damian wanna dance?" Jen said
Damian smiled and walked towards her "I can tell her another time" he thought "I don't want to ruin this moment."
