We got to the dance studio, and I say goodbye to my mom after grabbing my bag. I shut the door and walk up to the front door of the studio. I'm greeted by Tony who has a smile on his face and was waiting at the front door.

"Hi Haiden." He says happily, giving me a hug.

"Hi T. Happy birthday again." I say.

"Thanks." He says with a small laugh, "I'll take you inside. Carson and Kayla will be here later and so will David, but right now, you're the only one here."

"Okay." I say.

"Oh, and Xavier is the adult in charge, so Ayden is here." He adds, leading me inside.

"Is Marlene here?" I ask.

"No, not today." He says and I nod my head in response.

I see Ondreaz inside, playing with his one year old nephew. Ondreaz stands up when he sees me, Ayden in his arms, and a smile appearing on both of their faces.

"Hey Haiden." Ondreaz says, walking over to me, giving me a small hug.

"Hi, and hi Ayden." I say, smiling at him, taking him out of Ondreaz's arms.

Ayden giggles as I tickle his side lightly while Tony goes back outside to bring in the others when they arrive.

"Oh, hi Haiden." Xavier says, walking into the studio.

"Hi Xavier." I say, waving to him slightly since I had Ayden in one arm, and my bag in the other.

"So, how's school going?" He asks.

"Same as usual, good but boring." I say.

"Let me take this." Ondreaz says taking the bag from my hand.

He takes it over to where three other bags were, which I'm assuming is the brothers' bags.

"So, we already have the pizza here, and we also have garlic bread, Root Beer, and then a cake for later." Xavier says, taking me to where the food was.

"This looks and smells so good." I say, looking at the food.

Xavier laughs slightly before we go back closer to the front, where Ondreaz was now sitting on the ground, on his phone.

Tony comes in with Carson and Kayla following him, a bag in their hands. They smile when they see me, and wave. I wave in response and they go to sit down their bags.

"Tony, I'll go outside to wait for David, you stay in here with your friends." Ondreaz says and Tony nods his head.

Ondreaz goes outside while Tony comes over to us.

"So, what are we doing tonight?" Carson asks.

"Xavier put a bunch of blankets in his car so we're probably gonna try and build a fort with whatever we have. Um, maybe truth or dare, not really sure. I think we might watch a movie or two since there's a TV here. Other than that, I'm not sure." Tony says, shrugging his shoulders.

"Sounds like fun." Kayla says.

"It does. Doesn't it Ayden? You're gonna have so much fun with us." I say, smiling at the one year old in my arms.

He looks at me confused and then grins at me, showing the few teeth he has.

"Yo, happy birthday Tony." David says, walking over to Tony and giving him a hug.

"Thanks man." Tony says.

Ondreaz takes Carson's and Kayla's bags over to where the others were, with David following him.

"So, you guys wanna eat right now?" Xavier asks.

"Sure." We all say, before going over to where the food is.

Xavier takes Ayden out of my arms so I can get myself some food. Once everyone has their food, we sit down on the floor, leaning up against our bags. Xavier had set Ayden down on the ground so he could eat his food. Ayden crawls over to me and sits in front of me.

I move my plate to one hand, and grab Ayden with the other. He cuddles up to me and when I look up, I notice out of the corner of my eye, Tony looking at me, a small smile on his face.

I finish my food and set my plate down next to me. Xavier hands me Ayden's food so I can feed him.

Once everyone's done eating, Tony, Ondreaz, and David go outside to grab the blankets. They come back with their arms full, throwing them onto the ground once they get inside.

"So, there's two tables not being used, and we can use the bags as weights." Ondreaz says.

"Okay, well let's build a fort." Kayla says.

"Here, let me take Ayden." Xavier says, coming over to me.

I hand him Ayden and then go over to where David and Ondreaz were moving the table. Tony and I grab the other one and set them up a couple feet away from each other. We then put the blankets on top and set some bags on them so they won't fall.

We decide to go under the fort after putting on a movie. When the movie's over, we decided to play sardines, cause why not.

Carson hides first while we wait for her to find a spot. Once the minute was up, we split up and try to find her. I go into the girls' bathroom and find Carson hiding there.

"Why the bathroom of all places?" I ask, crouching down next to her and laughing.

"Cause I can." She says quietly.

A couple minutes later, Kayla comes in and stands against the wall. We talk for a little bit, until we hear footsteps outside.

The door creaks open and we see David poke his head into the bathroom. He slowly walks in, and sees us. He smiles slightly and comes over to us. We take a picture and once we see David's weird face he pulled, we start laughing.

"Shh." David says and we stop, only to hear the door open and Tony walk in.

"You guys laugh too loud." He says, standing next to me.

We wait a couple more minutes until the door opens again and Ondreaz walks in, immediately laughing as he sees us crowded in a corner. We all start laughing too and those of us who were crouching, stand up (this whole Sardines game actually happened, but with almost my whole class hiding in the girls' bathroom).

"Alright, let's go back out." David says, going over to the door.

We get out of the bathroom and go back to the main part of the studio.

"I'm tired." Kayla says, yawning.

She goes to sit under the fort, and then lays down.

"Good night." She says before closing her eyes.

"You guys wanna play truth or dare later?" Tony asks.

"Yeah." I say.

"Eh, I think I'm going to bed." David says, going over to the fort and laying down underneath it.

"Sure, why not." Ondreaz says.

"Why not." Carson says, shrugging her shoulders.
