Hello readers, okay here are two questions that if you answer correctly then you will get a sneak peak at what I'm planning to have in this story, the questions are from Cleo's sweet 16 episode.
What does Cleo like to eat on her pancakes?(only have to name two)
Who does Lewis say he is when he's trying to lead Zane away from Mako?(this is funny, sounds like something I'd say haha)
What was Emma's first birthday party with Cleo?(as in how old was she turning?)
Hiya people reading my story, I really hope you enjoy this and I apologize for not updating sooner. I hope you like this. Oh, and I'd love to hear which character you like best so far.(oh, and the real Nicole is nice).
Sarah's point of view
Chapter 2: Birthday surprise
I arrived at Theresa's house in like two minutes because we live really close to each other. I actually go there five minutes early, which was good because it took me a few minutes to catch my breath and return to full control. I had to tonight, I didn't want an accident to happen. When I was sure I was okay I knocked on the door. Theresa's older sister answered.
"Oh hey Sarah." She smiled at me. "Come in," she said politely.
"Thanks Maria," I smiled and walked in. "Where's the birthday girl?" I asked almost laughing. I knew exactly where she'd be but I figured asking would be better.(I love how I wrote this on her actual birthday she's 15 now and is a week older than me, the real Theresa that is).
"In her room waiting for you." She looked at the stairs. "Come downstairs in a bit." I nodded and went upstairs and knocked on Theresa's door, which was surprisingly closed.
"One second," I heard Theresa say before I heard loud noises. I was just about to say something again then the door opened. Theresa stood there in her music not shirt and jean shorts. Her brown hair was just hanging down just past her shoulders like usual. She never had her hair up, I've only seen her wear it up in gym, and even that was like never.
"Happy birthday Theresa," I smiled, she just looked at me. She had a suspicious look on her face. "What's wrong?" I asked as we went into her room. "You're supposed to be happy on your birthday." I started happily.
"Sarah, I have to tell you something." She said giving me the please don't be mad at me look.
"What's wrong?" I asked again. "Come on Theresa, you can trust me." I wanted to guilt her into tell me what was wrong.
"Nothing is wrong, and I know I can trust you, but"
"Then just tell me please." I cut in and half pleaded. I just wanted her to tell me, I learned how to do that from Emily, one of the few things that came in handy sometimes.
"Well…" she was considering telling me I heard it in her voice.
"Well what?" Then I realized something, she was stalling. "Wait a second, you're stalling. Please tell me Theresa." I pleaded again. She looked at me trying to see if she could trust me, which she could. I keep secrets; after all I've kept mine for two years already.
"Alright," she finally agreed. Then we heard the door bell ring. I wondered who that could be. I figured it could be one of Theresa's parents or something.
"Theresa, she's here." Maria called up to us.
"Who's she?" I asked confused. She just led me to the door. We went downstairs and then I saw who was at the door. I almost felt compelled to ask what she was doing there. I mean really, she had no real business at Theresa's house from what I could think of.
"Hello Nicole." Theresa said smiling. I just stood there and hoped she wouldn't notice me.
"Hey Theresa, happy birthday." Nicole said. Then she noticed me, so much for my hope that she wouldn't notice me.
"Why don't you three go up to your room Theresa?" Maria suggested.
"Sure, let's go." Theresa said smiling, I couldn't necessarily tell if she was faking the smile because Theresa usually was happy and always smiling. We went back up to her room where Nicole put her back pack down. The three of us sat on her bed awkwardly for a minute.
"Hello Sarah," Nicole looked at me. I bet she could tell I didn't want her there.
"Hello Nicole," I said but looked at Theresa. I didn't want her to think I was mad because I wasn't. I was just surprised and confused as to why Nicole was here. She knew the two of us had our differences in years past.
"Sarah, this is what I wanted to tell you. Nicole's here because I invited her, my mom convinced me to." Theresa explained. I saw right through her explanation which was really fake. Her mom made her invite Nicole, probably because she didn't want Theresa to be unpopular, which she really wasn't. She's defiantly more popular than I'd ever be.
"oh, well as long as Nicole doesn't annoy me then I guess it's okay she's here." I muttered under my breath.
"So, what do you two want to do?" Nicole asked probably as bored as I was now that she was here.
"I have an idea, why don't we go swimming?" Theresa suggested happily. I thought about that for a second, it would defiantly relieve some of the tension that was in the room right now and I bet it'd be good to be in the water. The only downside I could see was that it was a full moon outside.
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" I asked hoping someone would object.
"What, are you scared to go in the water?" Nicole mocked.
"Heck no, I just don't like full moons."I said, which wasn't really lying.
"I think it's a great idea." Nicole says happily.
"WE don't have to, we can stay in here if you want." Theresa said trying to avoid trouble.
"No, She's right, it's a good idea. Let's go." I said, I knew I'd just have to be careful. We all changed and snuck out to the pool. Theresa just went in and dived in. Nicole and I followed. I loved swimming and it was a beautiful night, even for a full moon.
"It's so beautiful out here." Nicole commented.
"Yeah it really is." I said talking about the weather not the moon.
"The moon's right above us look." Theresa said pointing upward. Nicole looked up having nothing to worry about. I couldn't look up, I just couldn't. And yet I did. I saw the moon in its glory, then around us water rose up and we just stood there in the water looking up at the moon. It was memorizing. The moon was so beautiful. After a minute I looked away, suddenly weaker then I was a minute ago. I calmly raised my hand to my head, hoping no one would really care or notice.
"The moon's beautiful isn't it?" Nicole commented, but I could barely hear her. It felt as though I was in another world. The moon had its effect on me. I couldn't resist looking up and now I'd have to face the consequences.
"Sarah, are you okay?" She looked to me. Apparently I'm not good at hiding headaches from people(in real life too I have no idea why though.)
"I'm alright, I guess I'm just tired," I half lied on that one, I was getting a bit sleepy, I didn't sleep well the night before, stupid nightmare about the typical stuff, involving me and my twin.
"Well, we should go inside, besides its after midnight," I smiled at Theresa she's so nice.
"Are you sure Sarah's not just afraid of the big bad moon?" I glared at Nicole, she could tell what had caused the headache.
"I'm fine, but you're right Theresa, it's after midnight, we should go inside." I said and the three of us got out of the water, dried off and went inside. None of us really had any big conversation starters after that. We changed into our pajamas and then just sort of sat there. This was so not what I had in mind when I thought of this sleepover. Theresa ended up falling asleep first; to be honest I was sort of surprised. She usually was awake until like two. Then again, it was like one in the morning. I decided to just go to bed, I didn't even remember to give Theresa her gift. Oops, oh well I'll just give it to her tomorrow morning, or later today technically.
"Sarah, just so you know that we've had our differences, but later we should try to get along, for Theresa's sake." I just stare at her, she annoys me so much. After what she did, it's hard to forgive her but still she's right, I should at least do it for Theresa.
"Alright, I'll do it for her sake. I'm going to bed, goodnight." It took me a while to go to sleep, I was trying to not have a nightmare as I do sometimes have. Tomorrow would be interesting, I had a bad feeling about whatever happened when we were in the water. Whatever happened would hopefully be good and I hope that I don't have to eventually tell Theresa the truth. She wouldn't be all that surprised though, I mean I talk about the stuff I have to deal with, In a weird way though, I use my writing. Anyway I finally managed to fall asleep but when I did I suddenly woke up, I heard a small scream and someone was shaking me. I open my eyes to see Theresa staring at me.
"What's wrong Theresa?" I question hoping it's nothing too bad. I mean if I can handle my sister then I can handle anything Theresa would think would be wrong. She didn't say anything just kept staring at me, it took almost five minutes before she said anything.
"You're… You're….." She hesitated, I really wanted to know what's wrong.
"I'm what? Tell me please, I can handle whatever it is." I reassure her as best I can.
"You're….." She kept staring at me. By now I was staring at her too.
"What, what am I?" I'm so annoyed why won't she just spit it out. I mean really she could tell me I could handle it.
Haha, I'm sorry for the cliff hanger, I really don't want to end it here but I have to. Anyway let me know what you think please. Review please. Oh and thanks to everyone that's reviewed so far.
