Chapter 3 –Ooh, I forgot, my birthday!

Ten days later, I have found that that Savannah is just three doors down from me.

Anyway, I had been woken up when I had heard a knock on my dorm room door, I got out of my bed and walked over to my door and opened it yawning, "Mornin'?" all of a sudden I was tackled to the ground. I blinked awake fully and glanced down at the person whom tackled me, "Mokuba?"

"Hey Chez!" Mokuba grinned rubbing under his nose with his finger like he normally does, "So how are you?"

"Confuzzled and sweepy." I then yawned. "You and Seto here?"

"Nope!" Mokuba wasn't with Seto? That's a first. "I got Joey and Yugi with me!"

"YAY!" I threw my arms into the air, but then looked up seeing the other two males, "Hiyas!" Mokuba had gotten off me and I stood up, Joey laughed at me, Yugi had a confident smile, yuppers, Atem sure had an improvement on him. I then realized I was still in my PJs, I blinked and let the boys into my room, I then grabbed my uniform and skipped to the bathroom closing and locking the door behind me.

Ten minutes I came out to see that Joey had a packet of chips in his hands, Yugi was looking through my cards and Mokuba was looking through...my sketch book....how'd he get that?!

Mokuba looked up and saw me and grinned, "I never knew you liked drawing!"

Joey blinked and glanced over Mokuba's shoulder looking at the picture that the young boy was looking at, "Wow, you're more than brains, duelling skills and singing skills, you can actually draw."

I grabbed the book out of their hands and closed it, "No lookie."

Then Yugi held up a drawing that I had torn out of my book, "Then why do you have a page torn out of your book?"

"Because I was going to hang that in my room!"

Joey then looked up at me and noticed the uniform, "That rich boy designed such a perverted girls' uniform."

I pouted, "Yeah, Seto is perverted! I found that out!" Yugi, Joey and Mokuba blinked, "Anyway why are you here?" I demanded.

"Chevie, it is your birthday today." Yugi stated.

I blinked and tilted my head in confusion, "My birthday today? No it aint..." I then thought for a moment, "OH IT IS!"

Mokuba laughed, "That happens every year!"

I smiled, "Aw you guys came all the way from Domino to see me for my birthday!"

"Yup, that's correct." Yugi stated smiling.

"Aw you guys are the best!" I then hugged Mokuba, then Joey and then Yugi, "I'm glad I have you as my friends!" I then blinked, "Wait a moment, I have classes today! Alexis is going to pick me up any moment now!" Just on queue someone knocked at the door, Mokuba made my bed while I was in the shower and had sat on it. I opened my door to see it was Alexis, "Morning Lex,"

"Good morning, Checca, ready?"

I nodded, then turned my head, "I'm leaving now guys! See ya laters!" I grabbed my deck and I-pod and ran out my dorm room with Alexis to class.

Me and Alexis had arrived in class, I glanced around the room and saw Jaden looking up at with a grin on his face, me and Alexis ran down to Jaden, "Heys Jay-Jay!"

"Morning Chez-Vi and Lex!" Jaden greeted with that grin.

I sat next to him still smiling, "So~" I looked around, I didn't see Savannah anywhere, I frowned.

"Good morning class!" We had Banner for our first class, yay!

"So what are we going to today Banner?" I asked cheerfully getting over the fact that my bestie was not here.

"Well, Miss Cherry, you, have to go to the Chancellor's office,"

I blinked, "Whatever for?"

"I don't know, they didn't say," Banner replied, "you can have your friends escort you there."

I smiled, "Ooh, am I in trouble?" I gave my trademark smile again.

I got up from my seat and walked down to the door with Alexis and Jaden following, "Oh, by the way Cherry!" I looked around, "Happy birthday!"

I grinned, "I had forgotten again, and thanks!" I cried as we walked out the door, the door closed automatically behind me, we continued walking, until...

"How old are you?"

That was Alexis asking as we walked, "15 now," I replied.

"Okay," Alexis then stayed quiet until we met up with Zane and Atticus, huh?

I smiled, "Zaney!" I then jumped onto him. He stepped out of the way making me fall to the ground, I sat up pouting, "YOU'RE MEAN!"

Everyone smiled and laughed, Zane reached out a hand and helped me up, "Sorry,"

I smiled, "I forgive ya!"

Zane nodded, "C'mon."

I blinked; Zane and Atticus are going too? I then shrugged and followed. When we got to Sheppard's office they let me walk in first, the doors automatically opened, we took three steps in then...

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHERRY-VIOLET!"

I saw Yugi, Joey, Mokuba down here, as well as Tea, Tristan, Duke, Bakura as well as Ishizu, Marik and Odion? I blinked everyone was here, except... Seto... "I didn't expect this to happen."

Savannah ran over to me and wrapped her arm around my neck in a head-lock, "Of course, that's the whole point of a SURPRISE PARTY!"

I smiled, "YAY!" I then went around giving hugs to everyone, once I did that I grinned, "So, what we gonna do?"

Bakura smiled, "Well, we know you love dancing, so how about we do some dancing?" he then turned some music on.

I cheered, "YAY!" I blinked in realization, "FIRST!" I turned to Alexis, Zane, Atticus and Zane and pulled them to be in front of me, "Meet my new friends."

Alexis smiled and waved, "I'm Alexis Rhodes, pleasure to meet you all."

"Atticus Rhodes." Atticus winked to Tea and Ishizu. Then Alexis slapped Atticus in the head for that.

Everyone sweat-dropped and then laughed, "I'm Zane Truesdale." Zane stated emotionlessly.

"The name's Jade Yuki!" Jaden grinned.

I smiled, "NOW WE DANCE!" I then grabbed Zane by the hands and pulled him to the middle of the room smiling, "Sorry, I haven't spoken to you in a while." I frowned.

"Not your fault, I've sort of being busy."

"Oh?" I looked around and saw that Joey had whispered something in Yugi's ear, I raised an eyebrow, but then smirked, turning so my back was facing Zane and then pressed the back of me against him, I swayed my hips against his, but I noticed something and I stopped dancing and I heard a sigh come from Zane, "Why isn't Seto here?"

"He still had a lot of paperwork to do, but he may come over here later." Mokuba stated with a sad look.

"Aw..."

"Oh, but someone else wanted to say happy birthday to you." Mokuba stated with a scowl, he grabbed a remote and pressed the large screen on making a face on the screen appear.

"HELLO, EVERYONE~!"

I blinked, it was Pegasus! "YAY!" I cheered going closer to the screen. "HIYAS PEGASUS!"

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY! CHERRY-VIOLET!" Pegasus cried.

I cheered again, "YAY, THANK YOU!" but I the pouted, "I wish you were here to!"

"Aw, I'm sorry pumpkin but I didn't have time to, but I did send you your gift!" he stated clapping his hands together.

"Pumpkin?" Alexis, Jaden, Zane and Atticus chorused.

"My! Are these your new friends?"

I pulled the four so they were in front of the screen, and I the wrapped my arms around Jaden's neck, "This is Jay-Jay, the girl is Lexie, the other brunette boy is Atty and the real tall male is Zaney!" I smiled.

They all waved, "Wonderous! You're progressing well in making new friends!"

"I also found Savannah!" I gave my trademark smile again.

"Great! So you're enjoying your fifteenth birthday?"

I nodded, "Yuppers!"

"Wonderful!" I think Croquet then had told Pegasus something because Pegasus' face fell, "I see, well I guess this is good bye now Cherry-girl, bye!" the screen then went black.

"YAY!" I was really happy now, all I want now is for Seto to come walking through the door.

"Chevie, aren't you going to open your presents?" Jaden asked.

"Presents?" I asked then I saw a table with gifts stacked, I went wide eyed, "Wasn't expecting that!"

"It I your birthday after all! Now c'mon open them up!" Mokuba stated.

I then reached over grabbing a small box shaped one, "From Joey."

"Mine gets open first, oh yeah!" Joey cheered.

I giggled and ripped the wrapping off it, under the wrapping paper it was a middle-sized velvet box, I opened it and saw a garnet in a shape of a crescent moon hanging from a gold chain, "It's a garnet bracelet!" I turned to Joey with a shocked expression, "How on earth could you afford this?"

Joey grinned, "I saved some money over the years to get you that."

I took it out and put it on, "Joey, it is beautiful thank you!" I stood up and pecked him on the cheek.

"Glad ya love it."

I then reached over for another box it was larger this time and it had a red rose taped on the top, "From Bakura."

Bakura smiled sheepishly, "I wanted it to be a nice present."

I then sat down on the ground and ripped the paper off but being careful of the rose, I opened the cardboard box to reveal... "It's an art set! Oh my, Bakura that is awesome!" There were paintbrushes, different sets of pencils, watercolour paints, acrylic paints, charcoal pencil, a few erasers and a sharpener, "How did you know about me and my art liking?"

"Well, that day we hung out at the art museum you really had a few eyes out for the paintings there."

"Aw, you're so sweet Bakura," I then got up and hugged him.

"You're most welcome."

I then grabbed another gift, "From Yugi." and started ripping the paper off, it was a red and black velvet chest. "What's this for?"

"You keep what is valuable in there." Yugi replied.

"Cool." I then put that to the side with the other gifts. The next one I got, "From Duke."

I opened that and it was a pair of dice earrings with a gold watch that had diamonds decorating in shapes of dice. "That is cool as!"

"Glad you think so." Duke replied.

I grabbed the next gift, "This is from...Marik, Odion and Ishizu." I smiled as I untied the ribbon and opened the box. There were two rings there, a gold one with Egyptian writing on it, "Oh? Are these those..."

"They are rings that are use in Egypt for the person you love dearly, once you give the person you love the other ring, you two will be together for eternity." Ishizu stated.

"Ooh, predestined stuff, I like that."

Everyone laughed. I looked around and blinked, "That's all."

The door then opened and I looked up, I blinked, it was Seto, Mokuba ran over to him and whispered something in his ear. WHAT IS WITH ALL THE WHISPERING?!

"Happy birthday, Cherry-Violet, now everyone come outside." He then turned and left.

I glanced at Mokuba whom had that knowing look on his face. I blinked and got to my feet. "C'mon!"

We all then ran out of the office and until we were outside, I blinked as I saw a weird shaped object in front of us, I smiled and unwrapped it and widened my eyes, "OH MY GOD! IT'S A MOTORCYCLE! SWEET!" I cried. I then looked at Seto whom had a smirk on his face, Mokuba was rubbing the underside of his nose with his finger again. "THANK YOU!"

Seto shrugged, "Worth it for you."

"Aw, that's sweet Seto." I then jumped onto him into a big hug. "So are you Mokie!" I then got of Seto and gave Mokuba a big hug too. Once I pulled away from them and I got onto the motorcycle.

"Are you sure she'll know how to ride that thing?" Joey whispered to Seto.

"Yes."

All of a sudden I had turned the motor on and started zooming around the area where we were and drove back skidding to halt, "AWESOME!"

Seto smiled, "We all should get back now Chevie, so I'll call you tonight if I don't have much work to do, okay?"

I nodded smiling, "Well bye to you all and thank you very muchies."

It is now around nine o'clock at night and I'm having a party at Slifer dorms, yes, Alexis had brought the cake over there because I wanted to spend it over at Jaden, Syrus, Chumley and Chazz's coloured dorm, I grinned as I slipped the knife into the middle of the cake and sliced down touching the bottom, Alexis yelled out, "YOU TOUCHED THE BOTTOM!"

I blinked, "So?"

"It is tradition that if you cut a cake and touched the bottom you have to kiss the nearest boy." Alexis smirked.

Jaden and Zane looked at me with stunned eyes, I giggled, "I love that tradition just Seto thought it wasn't good for me to follow it!"

Savannah smiled, "Well c'mon!"

I nodded and glanced between Zane and Jaden, I knew Alexis loved Jaden so I could do that to Alexis so I got onto my tippy toes and pecked Zane on the lips, yea my first kiss on my birthday, what you think of that.

Zane and Jaden were shocked in the least, I smiled, "There, I finally lost my first kiss!" I grinned. "YAY!"

Alexis blinked, I knew she thought I would go for Jaden but as I said I couldn't do that to her, "Wow, you actually went through with it."

I smiled sadly, "Yeah, I've been having a burden of no one I loved will be willing to take my first kiss so I just gave it to someone I love, but the thing is I'm happy about today, it has been the best birthday I have ever had!" I then started jumping up and down happily. We then cut more of the cake and ate it. After we ate the cake, we all fell asleep in the Slifer dorm. I stayed awake and looked out the window, and whispered, "You better get here soon, Jamie-Ashley..."
