AUTHOR’S NOTES:AUTHOR’S NOTES: People! I am so sorry that it took so long for me to post this, but unfortunately my computer broke down. But now it’s fine. And remember the more reviews I’ll get, the faster I’ll post the next chapter! CHAPTER 5: “I FORGOT MY BIRTHDAY!” In the previous chapter: Now we headed to Meilin’s (and mine) house. We soon arrived to our house. I used my key to open the door. Madison turned her camera on and we walked in. Meilin was sitting on the couch, reading something. She heard the noise and turned her head to us. “Hi guys! What are you doing here? Hi Li you didn’t even tell me where you were going. Was it a clow card?” I, Sakura and Madison shook our heads at the same time. Meilin got up from her seat, she seemed very worried. “Meilin! Happy birthday!” congratulated her Sakura. Meilin stood there with her eyes wide open for about five seconds. “Avalon, what are talk......what...what date is it?...OHHHHH! It’s my birthday!!!” she exclaimed. “You mean you didn’t remember?” Madison was all over Meilin with her camera. “No, I actually didn’t, believe that or not!” than she smiled, “You guys are great! You remembered!” Meilin couldn’t stop smiling, she was so happy. “Yeah, even Li DIDN’T FORGET.” Said Sakura with sarcasm. Meilin didn’t notice this tone in her voice. “Meilin, we’ve got you presents!” Madison smiled AGAIN. “Oh really guys? You even got me presents? Can I see them?” She looked astonished, but I really knew that she was aware that we got her gifts. It’s just a routine that you play at your birthday; it’s like a rule or something: to act surprised when people give you presents. I know Meilin loves to get presents, it’s her nature. Actually, it is everybody’s nature. “Ok, Meilin, I know how you love those roller coasters, so my present is...” with these words Madison gave her four tickets to the Roller Coaster Park. On every ticket was a big letter sign: “HAVE FUN ALL DAY AND PAY NOTHING! EVERYTHING IS FOR FREE! ROLLER COASTER PARK!” as Meilin read it, her eyes sparkled. “Oh Madison! Thank you, thank you so much! You know how much I love roller coasters. And everything is for free? That means that we can ride them as much as we want?” Madison nodded and smiled AGAIN. “And I got you something too. Here, tell me if you like it...” Meilin looked at the beautiful red dress, which seemed to match the color in her eyes. “Thank you Sakura, its gorgeous.” with these words she hugged her, and then went over and hugged Madison. “And it’s my favorite color!” Meilin must be felt like crying from happiness, but she couldn’t humiliate herself in front of anybody. Even me. “I can’t believe, that I forgot today is my birthday...” She said sadly. “So, Meilin, don’t I deserve a hug too?” I said with a smirk. “Well what did you get me?” She said with a playful voice. “This...” I handed her a colorful box. She looked at me with amusement. I never gave her gifts, which were wrapped in a box. I usually gave her a book or a doll for her birthday. But she has already grown up from dolls. And a book would be lame for her, because you can’t give a book for each birthday. I would be in a lot of trouble if it weren’t for Sakura. She is a truly good friend. Meilin unwrapped the box. She took out a vase from there and looked at me with her ruby red eyes, the most beautiful eyes a girl could ever have. I smiled and blushed again. I BLUSHED? AGAIN? It was second time it happened to me that day. Why? “Oh Li! Thank you! It’s so beautiful, so pretty!!! You are the best friend I ever had!!! No offence to you Avalon and you Madison.” Sakura and Madison sweat dropped. “YESH, HE ISH SHUCH A GOOD FRIEND, THAT HE FRGOT ABOUT YOUR BIRTH...BLFPHGD...” Avalon said in a back of her mouth. Sakura couldn’t finish her sarcastic sentence, because Madison shut her mouth with her hand. Meilin ignored them. /Author’s notes: don’t you love sarcastic Sakura? I wrote her line with mistakes on purpose/ Meilin Rae ran up to me and gave me a BIG hug. The one where I would need a C.P.R. to recover from. /Author’s notes: for none English speakers: C.P.R. is an oxygen mask and stuff which wouldn’t let you die. / “Ok, Meilin...take it easy...” I finally made out. I gently pulled her away and looked at her. I looked at her ruby red eyes. They were full of shine. And I felt that they reflected my soul. There was a tension. I felt her heart beating fast. But I felt my heart beating even faster. My stomach felt all fuzzy and strange, pleasant strange. Like on roller coaster. Speaking of roller coasters... “Hey guys, let’s hurry up and go to the park.” I broke the tension. “Yeah let’s go!” Madison agreed with me and smiled AGAIN. And so, all of us went outside, we all headed to the roller coaster park. TO BE CONTINUED........................... AUTHOR’S NOTES: So uhh, I know this was boring. I know that! But I have to SOMEHOW get to the point. R&R!
