CHAPTER 8: Intensity
H.Q
Tomorrow is Fate's birthday, and Matt, Mello, Near, and Violet were decorating the penthouse. Matt was going over board on almost everything so Violet had to stay by his side to make sure he was good. Or was that really the reason? Once the job was done, everyone went back to his or her room.
VIOLET & FATE'S ROOM
Fate was asleep when Violet returned, so she played Call of Duty on her DS. Nothing eventful happened after that.
THE NEXT DAY, FATE'S BIRTHDAY
Fate opened her eyes. It was her 14th birthday. She looked at her alarm clock, and it was about one in the afternoon. She jumped out of bed, and jumped onto Violet's. Violet wasn't there. The entire suite was deserted. Then she found a note on the fridge that said:
Please come to the top floor 2 pm,
L
Fate smiled, happy for the moment. It almost seemed that things were normal. Almost…
PENTHOUSE, 2 p.m.
Everyone was scared about the decorations except, Near of course. Violet was worried about L because seemed kind of nervous. Then Fate walked into the room. The room sung a chorus of 'Happy Birthday'. The cake was huge, courtesy of L. And very, very chocolaty. Yum. Then it was present time. Violet got her a magic eight ball, books from Near, chocolate from Mello, and goggles from Matt.
"What did you wish for?" asked Violet.
"I wished for everyone to be happy on my birthday." Fate lied.
Violet raised her eyebrow at her
"What?" said Fate
Violet just rolled her eyes and went to go sit next to Matt and Near. She had an idea and grabbed Near by his baggy sleeve and pulled him into the hallway.
"What?" said Near
"I know you like Fate and you should show her that on her birthday." Violet said
" I only like her as a friend." stated Near
"Ya right get that head out of your shell and tell her how you feel."
"…..are you referring me to a turtle?"
"Yes, now go tell her how you feel!"
Violet pushed him back into the room. Near walked in, very red faced.
