* ring ring ring ring *

"Hello?" You say in a tired and grumpy voice.

"Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!" You recognize Dereks' voice straight away.

"Whaaattt.." you say kind of irritated. He did wake you up after all.

"I'm your morning wake up call! Come on! Get up cause we have plannnsss! I will be at your house to pick you up in 20 minutes! See you then!" and you hear a click.

Damn him! Now I have to get up...

You slowly wrap yourself out of your very warm blankets I may add and walk out into the hallway making your way to the bathroom.

You spend about 5 minutes brughing your teeth and hair before you go back to your room. You plug in your straightener and decide what clothes you will wear. While debating between two pairs of jeans a thought comes into your head...

Wait a second. I don't remember making plans with anyone today...

With that thought, someone knocks on your door.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETIE!" Your mom says [well more like sqeals] as she wraps you in a big hug.

"Oh yeah! It's my birthday! Silly me. Haha."

You and your mom have always been pretty close. Your dad isn't normally around. He's always working.

"Hey mom? Derek is on his way to come pick me up. He's taking me somewhere but I dont know where. Just to let you know" you say as you try to get her to let go of you. She still has you in a tight squeeze.

"Alright. But be home by 8:00. I want to give you your gift!" She says as she walks away with a huge grin on her face.

What was she smiling about? Hmm..

After that little scene with your mom, you go back to deciiding what to wear. Now that you realize it is your birthday...you figure that's why Derek is coming to get you.

You finally decided on faded black skinny jeans, your bright green chucks and a t-shirt with the character Gir on it.
Right when you finished straightening your hair and putting your makeup on Derek comes bursting into your room.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATIE!" He screams as he wraps you a hug tighter than the one your mom just gave you.
He also gives you a kiss on the cheek.

"You ready to go?" He asks with a big smile on his face.

"Yup. But would you mind telling me where we are going?"

"Nope! It's a surprise. But first we have to go pick up Matt."

With that he grabs your arm and off you go.

You get into the passenger seat in his car and pop in an Atreyu cd. The song 'Lip Gloss and Black' comes on and you turn the volume way up. You love this song. Haha. On the way to Matts you and Derek sing along.


-a few minutes later-

Derek is pulling up to Matts place just as the song ends. You turn down the volume and let the cd play on while Matt gets in the car.

"Happy Birthday Katie!" He says as he hugs you from behind with the seat pretty much blocking his way.

"So! Where are we going" You ask as you give a big smile to Matt.

"Oh! We're going over t----"

"NO! SHHH! Don't tell her! It's secret!" Derek just about has a heart attack.

"Hahaha. Alright jeez." Matt says while laughing at Derek's expression.

- Derek's thoughts -

Ohh mann. I hope she likes it. I didn't plan a huge surprise party for nothing. I also can't believe how beautiful she looks right now. Well, she looks beautiful everyday, but I love it when she leaves her hair down. Haha! Sweeettt...we're almost there!

"Are we there yet?" You complain in a little kid voice.

"Almost!" Derek says with a big smile on his face.

"Here we are!" Matt exclaims.

"It's a house.." You say with some dissappointment in your voice.

"Stop complaining! Come on!" Derek jumps out of the car and pretty much drags me out.

By the time Derek gets me out of the car Matt has already dissappeared into the house.

"Oh! Before I forget. Make sure to have me home by 8 cause my mom wants to give me something." You say to him making sure he's paying attention.

"Okay! I'll make sure of it. Trust me!" He smiles and starts to pull me towards the front door.

We walk in and...
