happy birthday.Your dad says happy birthday...Yes,Rick,I told her." It was just like them,to be talking to each other during my birthday message.

"It's your birthday?!" I spinned around to see Mai staring directly at me.
"How'd you get in here?" She looked mad and surprised.
"You didn't answer my question." I sighed and nodded.
"Yes,Mai it's my birthday,now how did you get in here?"
"I have a key,but never mind that.How could you not tell us it was your birthday.we could've got you something." She was upset that I didn't tell her it was my birthday.

And there she was with a KEY to MY room and I hadn't even known about it until now.
"I know!!We could go out and celebrate"
"No-No way."
"Well,it's the least you could do for not telling me about your birthday-I thought we were friends."

"Are you kidding me Mai? You got a key to my room without my permission.The least YOU could do is just let this one slide." there was a two second pause before she burst out lauging.
"M-Are..oh..Let this one slide? It's like you don't know me at all...Now,stop your whining and bring out your suitcase."

This is the girl that was supposed to be older than me? She's like those girls in the cartoons.Sugar,spice and everything nice.But if you mess with her,she becomes fire and ice.That poem describes Mai perfectly.When I told her I didn't want to go to a club on my birthday,she called everyone else in my room and then told them her side of the story.

Which was that today was my birthday I had nothing to do so we should all go to aclub to celebrate.I had alot of stuff to do.....They weren't birthday fun but they fun..ish.
"You are coming whether you like it or not." Mai shoved the short,strapless dress at me and put her hands on my hips.
"Put that on.We'd be waiting outside." After a long staredown with me,she left my room.So what else could I do other than put on the dress.

"See,it's not so bad."
"It's horrible." I grumbled.
"Whatever.Don't be so grumpy on your birthday.You're supposed to look 18 not 80."
Chapter Ten


Mai took my hand and dragged me over to where Ethan, Liv and James were. I couldn't help but notice the look displayed on James face as he looked me over. Did I really look that good?

"You look..."
He took my hands in his and I felt a shiver run through my spine. His touch was electrifying. Something like shocking yourself with a balloon and then feeling a strange warmth fill you up soon after. Touching James was a little something like that.

"Thanks." I whispered.
He put his arm around my waist and I kept it there. It felt nice, and it wasn't too forward. James and I were friends. No matter where he held me.

"Uhhm." Liv cleared her throat. "We have to leave. Now."

James kept his arms around my waist and we all walked out the door of the school. It was weird how easily a person could leave. It was a cold night as we all walked out into the street, then climbed inside the taxi. We arrived at the club and flashing lights surrounded it. James hand slipped from my waist to my hand. All five of us walked inside the building that was stuffed with people.

James squeezed my hand and we both walked forward, pushing through the crowd of people. Soon, Mai and Ethan were off, dancing. It was just me, James, and Liv, and it looked like we were heading towards the bar. James leaned towards my face and whispered in my ear.

"I'll be right back."

He let go of my hand and walked away, leaving me and Liv alone. We both sat down at the bar and the bartender stared at the both of us.

"The usual?" He asked, staring now at Liv alone.

she nodded. "Only for me, though. Something lighter for my friend, here."

The bartender handed both me and Liv drinks. Mine was a light blue while Liv' was a dark red. It looked sort of like blood, and for awhile, I thought it was.

"Come on, birthday girl. Drink up."
Liv stared at me while I took a tiny sip of the alcohol. She laughed at me and gulped down her entire drink. I narrowed my eyes at her and rank mine too, all in one take.

I felt my brain start to hurt as Liv ordered us both more drinks. I drank the next one even faster than I did the first. By then, things were starting to get a little hazy. Liv had given me a way too strong drink.

"One more, ple-"

"No!" I interrupted. "I-I'm fine."

Liv smiled and waved her right hand in front of my face.

"You okay there, Clara?"

I slowly nodded and gripped the edge of the table then jumped off the chair. The room was spinning and everyone was just a small blur. But I tried to ignore it and walked outside the club. Wind ruffled my hair and I hung on to the wall for support.

I continued walking, not sure where I was going when I tripped and fell into the arms or someone with light hazel eyes.

"Whoa there, Angels."

I looked up and James smiled at me. He helped me to stand up properly, and still kept his arms around me.

"Are you drunk?" He asked, pulling me closer to him.

"Not much." I slurred.
He frowned and pushed me away, but only slightly.

"It was Liv, wasn't it? I shouldn't have trusted her with you."

Everything was becoming too much and my head fell on James shoulder. He stroked my hair and held me tightly to him. If I didn't have a boyfriend, or if I wasn't drunk... this might have felt nice.

"I'll take you home." James whispered. Did he mean my home home or the school. I didn't care. I just wanted to leave.

James whispered to me to close my eyes and I did. I suddenly felt like I was bouncing up and down. When I opened my eyes again, I saw that James was running. Either he was a really speedy runner or everything was getting more and more blurred. I went with the last one.

I closed my eyes and didn't open them again until I was somehow back in my room. How long did I close my eyes for? It didn't matter. All that mattered was that James was layng me down on the bed and I didn't want his electrifying touch to leave me.

"Stay." I whispered, my eyes still closed.

"I can't."

"Why not?"

I shut my eyes even tighter and turned around to face the wall. If James ended up leaving, at least I didn't have to watch him get away from me. Again. Again? What was I talking about?

"Please stay." I whispered once more. The last thing I remembered was James climbing into my bed and putting his arms around me.
