Chapter 2


I looked in surprise as all my friends stood there with grins on there faces waiting for my reply.
"I I I…hi guys," I stammered.
They all started to laugh and move from their spots. Kari kissed my cheek.
"Surprise."
"Yeah Id say so."
I moved from my spot to say hi to everyone.
"Matt! Hey how's it going?"
"Hey T.K.! I'm all right. Happy birthday little bro."
"Hey Davis…Yolie."
"Hey T.K. happy birthday," they both said.
"Mimi?! You're here too?"
"Of course I am T.K. what's a party without me?"
"Hey Izzy!"
"Hi T.K. happy birthday."
"Tai! Nice to see you man!"
"Hey T.K.! What's happinig?"
"Sora! How are you?"
"I'm doing great T.K."
"Hello Joe. Nice to see you here."
"Hi T.K. happy birthday."
"Cody! What are you doing over here in the corner? Come join the party!"
"Hey T.K. I'm coming just have to rap up this report I'm working on!"
I walked around some more striking up conversations wherever I went. This day was definitely one of the best so far. I don't think that anything can bring my day down.
"Kari!" I yelled, "Come over here with me!"
"Coming!"
I sat down in the middle of my friends and waited for Kari to join me.
"Do I get to open my presents yet?" I reached for one of them when Kari joined me.
"Who said they are yours?"
"Well if there not I can leave because what's a birthday without presents?"
Kari laughed, "Of course there yours, silly, open them".
I reached for the closest gift. It was from Davis. I opened it up cautiously.
"A new basketball! Thanks Davis!"
Davis blushed a little and looked to the floor. Then he muttered something I couldn't understand. I opened present after present until it was finally the last one. It was from Kari. I opened and found inside a picture frame with a picture with Kari and me in it.
"Oh wow Kari. Its wonderful".
"That picture was taken on our first date."
"Wow! That was so long ago!"
I hugged Kari and looked up to see everyone staring at us.
"What are you all looking at get back to the party!"
Everyone laughed and returned to the party.
