I groaned as my alarm clock ripped me out of my deep, peaceful sleep. It was my birthday today. Why don't I seem excited? Well I am excited. I'm just not expecting anything big to happen today. My best friends Billie Joe, Mike and Tré were ignoring me lately and I didn't know why. It was starting to get very annoying to say the least.

Sighing, I got out of bed and got ready for the day. When I was done I checked my phone and saw that I had a text from Billie Joe.

Beej: come to my place at 6:00pm. X

My heart leapt. Maybe today wouldn't be so bad after all.

5:38pm. Time for me to be heading over to Billie's house I reckoned as I checked the time for the twentieth time in the last five minutes.

I grabbed my Nirvana hoodie and my keys and headed out the door, practically jogging all the way to Billie's house.

When I got to Billie's front door I was seriously out of breath. I spent several minutes with my hands on my knees, trying to get my breathing back to normal. I checked the time and saw with a smile that it was 5:59pm. Just in time.

When I'd properly straightened up I spotted a note taped to the door: door is unlocked. Just come in. "That's weird." I thought to myself. Shrugging nonetheless I slowly pushed the door open.

It was very dark in the hallway. I squinted, trying to make out anything but it was too dark to even see my hand in front of my face.

"Hello?" I called out nervously. No answer. I gulped and felt along the wall as I walked slowly towards the living room.

As I got closer to the living room I heard eager voices talking. "She should be here any second!" Tré. "Shut up Tré!" Mike. "Yeah. She could be right outside the door!" Billie.

I couldn't help but giggle. "See I told you she was here!" Mike sighed exasperatedly. I heard a cough and then: "come in Princess!" I rolled my eyes. Tré always called me that to annoy me.

Excitedly I reached for the door handle and slowly opened the door. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY ABBY!!!!!!!!!" The guys all said at the same time.

I gasped. There were balloons all over the room, streamers hung from the ceiling and most importantly, there was a massive chocolate cake next to a huge stack of presents on the table. "What the?" I asked, completely astounded.

"We thought we'd give ya a little surprise." Billie grinned. "But I thought you guys had forgotten me!" I blurted out. "Why would you think that Abby?" Mike asked. "It's doesn't matter!" I exclaimed, running up to my friends and engulfing them in a huge group hug.

"Happy birthday Abby!" Billie whispered as we walked over to the table to get started on opening my presents. "Thanks Billie-Boo." I blushed.

For my presents I got a portable speaker from Tré, a new phone from Mike and... A beautiful electric guitar from Billie. "Thank you!!!!!!" I squealed when I'd finished opening my presents. "Don't mention it Abby." The guys said simultaneously. We all laughed as we set to work on eating my magnificent cake.

After we'd eaten the entire cake between us (I'll admit that Tré ate most of it) we all crashed on the floor and fell asleep. I couldn't stop thinking one thing as I fell asleep: this was the best birthday ever!
