I woke up to the sun beating over my skin, making my body sweat. The heat on my skin made me feel uncomfortable. I grunted and reluctantly opened my eyes. I was laying on the wooden, mahogany floor in my bedroom, uncovered. Damn it! This was the third night in a row and my body was aching from terrible sleep. I rolled onto my back and looked up at my bed. The sheets and blanket were hanging from the edge, well at least some of them were. I groaned again and slowly stood up, my back protesting. Damn, I was sore and freezing my ass off. My fault for only wearing a bra and underwear.
I looked over toward the bed and saw a peaceful Amelia still fast asleep, cuddling with her body pillow. Her tan skin shone a light bronze in the sunlight that was emerging from the nearby window. It always made me jealous that she could tan effortlessly while my ivory skin only burned. I noticed that most of the covers covered her legs, while her arms and some of her stomach were left exposed. I could feel a devilish grin spread across my face. I crouched over onto the bed and crept over to Amelia. making minimal movement. I leaned my face toward hers, my lips near her ear. I gently brushed her hair out of the way and leaned closer.
"Hey! Guess what today is!" I shouted.
"Fuck!" Amelia screeched as she threw her body pillow onto the floor and punched me in the arm. I winced as I laughed, laying back on the bed and clutching my somewhat injured bicep. I sat up to see Amelia scowling at me, the covers kicked off of her legs. I was still laughing a bit.
"What the fuck Mircee?!"
"I just wanted to give you a nice wake up call on this special day darling," I grinned.
"Oh yeah sure thanks," she rolled her eyes and tucked her green/blonde hair behind her ear, "and yes, I know what today is," she smiled at me expectantly,"so where's my damn birthday present, huh?"
I looked at her in fake disbelief,"What are you talking about? That was your present!" She just stared at me with doubtful eyes.
"Alright, alright. I know you're not a fucking retard." I said as I got up from the bed and walked over to the closet across the room. I opened it and rummaged through a pile of shoes and clothes until I found the black shoebox I'd been looking for. Grabbing it, I turned around toward, the now standing, Amelia, with the box behind my back. She arched an eyebrow.
"Shoes? That's a new one," she said as she looked down at the black box that was now in her hands.
"Psh, shoes? You know I'm more classy than that!"
She opened the shoebox to see two smaller red boxes inside. She opened the square shaped one first to see two earring rose studs that had a single ruby in each of them. She gasped and then looked up at me, I could see the happiness in her eyes. She then frantically opened the other long shaped box to see a silver chained necklace with the same rose design. A look of disbelief covered her features.
"Dude... wow. I just... wow. How the hell did you afford this?"
"Well I saved up a bit from my part-time job and also, of course, the guys pitched in as well. It's basically a gift from all of us."
"I fucking love you guys so much!" she put the two red boxes down on the bed and hugged me. I could tell she was holding back tears. She'd wanted these for the longest time but never had the money to buy them. It was perfect.
She stepped back from me and walked towards the door, "Let's go wake up the guys, I needa thank them for this!"
She opened the door as I followed her down the small hallway slipping on an old, baggy shirt. We walked to Jason's room just two doors down and without knocking, she barged into his room and jumped on top of him. I leaned on the door frame and just watched from a safe distance.
"What the hell?!" Jason groaned in his deep, sleepy guy voice.
Amelia, still on top of Jason, grabbed his face and kissed him harshly on the cheek.
"Thank you, thank you! Now where's Marcus?"
"He's probably either on the couch or in his room. My best bet would be the couch though," he answered.
"Oh, right," she said as she got up and walked past me to the living room. A moment later I heard a thud and a voice yelling, "Fuck Amelia!" I chuckled and looked inside Jason's room, watching him as he slipped a shirt on. He looked at me and smirked.
"So have you told her."
"Nah, I haven't yet. That's just from the jewelry. I figured I'd wait til we were all together for that," I grinned.
He looked down and walked toward me.
"Well it looks like we're all gonna be hurting tomorrow," he walked past me and I turned around in his direction, arching an eyebrow.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean we're going to be suffering from hangovers tomorrow from all the celebrating we're gonna be doing tonight," he looked at me smirking and I nodded.
"Fuck yeah!"


AMELIA'S POV


I was giggling as I helped Marcus up from the floor. He stood up straight and I ran into his arms, hugging him.
"Agh Amelia, don't hug me so tightly. I think you're cracking my back."
"Oh sorry," I backed up and looked up at him, "I just wanted to say thanks and I'm really fucking happy right now! I'd been waiting for so long for this!"
"Yeah I know right, me too! I really can't believe it!"
What was he talking about?
"You were excited for earrings and a necklace?" I said confused.
His eyes widened and he stared down at his feet. Mircee's voice was behind me and Marcus looked up as I turned around. Mircee made her way toward the couch as Jason walked into the small kitchen. I looked down at her as she sat and then glared back at Marcus who continued to stare at his feet.
"Hey Mircee, did you know that Marcus has an interest in jewelry like I do?" he turned around and slumped into the black reclining chair that was behind him.
"Oh does he now? That's actually not something I'd expect to hear..."
"Yeah, I was pretty surprised myself," I said as I sat next to her and she turned on the TV. After a moment of silence, I glanced at her and stared back at the TV. Were they hiding something from me? Maybe a surprise? I wouldn't know unless I asked about it.
I felt Jason sit near me on my right side and then I stood up. All three of them looked up at me and I looked down at the coffee table. I hadn't noticed that Jason had brought in coffee for all of us. I looked back up and turned to face them.
"What are you guys not telling me? I can tell you're hiding something! It's never this fucking awkward unless there's a secret that's being kept from me!"
Jason and Mircee smirked at each other simultaneously, the suspense was getting to me. Mircee then put on a serious face and stood up in front of me. She put both her hands on each of my shoulders, still holding the same expression. Her tight lips gradually grew into a childish smile.
"We're playing at Warped!"
