My friends threw me a surprise birthday party. It was ... surprising to say the least. I thought at first I had figured it out. When things seemed to take a turn for the worst I assumed that the party was shot to shit or schedueled for another day. sitting in the car on the way to my house with julia and jess I wanted to go pick up emily so she could come over, thinking that she was stuck at home without a ride that night. I didnt want to ask julias brother to go out of the way and pick her up, so I turned to jess instead and informed her that my birthday was the next day. I didnt think she knew this yet and i wouldnt, not for some time now, though soon it would become all too clear.
I walk in the door and couldnt wait. my mother had told me that my sister was having friends over for her birthday and she was going to have asian food. (my favourite) I was sure to be there. i walk into the kitchen with jess and julia and my mom tries to take a picture of me. This made me a little mad and i turned away. Out of the corner of my eye through a whisp of hair I see something familiar. My sister. This was nothing special, though standing right next to her was a vision of perpetual manliness in a red jacket. As the hair rushed past my face I heard his name like the wind whispering a secret in my ear, much like a lover. (Shire! Baggins!) "Dean Jackman." My eye continued to see the faces of many of my close friends, and the depth of shadow which was, in all aspects like a shadow, and faceless. Again in my ear a whisper came. "Gregg Andert." "Dean your killing it." I noted.
"Sorry..." *shakes head...* Emily was next. I might not have noticed her if she were not leaping in the air "surprise"ing me. I went to my room and put down my stuff. My First thought was... hey that was a surprise party... i was surprised. ... maybe I should go out there. My instincts were correct. Pepperoni pinwheels, the food of the gods, and a favourite of my people.
"JESS! I TOLD YOU IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY IN THE CAR!" "WHAT IS GOING ON?" "THIS ISNT MY SISTERS PARTY AND IM CONFUSED!" " THOUGHT I KNEW BUT YOU TRICKED ME AND YOU TRICKED ME IN BROAD DAYLIGHT AND YOU TRICKED ME... TOUCHÉ"
