Chapter 4:

I got to Vee's in eleven minuets and we all got into Vee's car (with me and Vee in the front and Patch all squished up in the back), then we were on our way to the Deli.

When we got there, there weren't many people there, just one other group of people that I recognized as some of my sort of friends. Sitting closest to where we were standing was Dave, who was pretty tall and very skinny with dark brown hair wearing a light blue T-shirt with a picture of Pikachu on it, and black jeans. His parents moved here from Italy a few years before he was born. Next to him was Jay, quite a bit smaller than Dave and not quite as skinny (then again almost no one was as skinny as Dave), with light brown hair wearing a green T-shirt with Mario on it, and very baggy sweats. He's the closest thing I have to a neighbor and I've known him since I was three years old. Across from them sat Kate, we were pretty good friends when we had both just started primary school. She was slightly smaller then Jay but as skinny as Dave and wore a plain black T-shirt and dark blue jeans.

I gave them a wave and received three smiles in return, Kate gestured for our group to go sit with them, I gave Vee and Patch a questioning look and they both smiled and nodded. "I'll go order for us, you guys go grab our seats." Patch said

"Sounds good to me, you've trained him well." Vee said as she put her hands together and bowed to me. I just smiled and rolled my eyes, then we made our way over to sit with Dave, Jay and Kate.

"We haven't spent much time with each other for ages." I said to all of them as I sat down.

"Yea I know." Jay exclaimed "We'll have to catch up more often."

"What's the point of that? We'll have less to talk about." Dave said with a smile that made me smile too.

"Hey, you know it's gonna be Nora's 16th birthday tomorrow, do ya wanna come?" Vee said as an open invitation to all three. "I organized it all by myself" I gave her a look. "Yea, yea I know, Patch helped too. Not much, he mostly just took out some of the funner stuff." She said with an overly loud voice so that Patch could hear, that made him look over and smirk at us.

"Yea cool I'd love to come, what cha doing to celebrate?" Kate asked.

"Yea Vee, what are we doing to celebrate?" I said hoping to get at least a clue as to what was going to happen at my party.

"Spoilers," she said to me then turned to Kate. "I'll text you the details later." She smirked like a Cheshire cat and slumped further down her seat.

Just then Patch came over with our order and we sat together talking about something to do with Full Metal Alchemist and Cardcaptors, then we parted way as it was already 3:30pm. When we got to Vee's I gave her a hug and got back into my car then drove back to the farmhouse with Patch tailing me on his motorbike (he convinced Vee that they'd planned for long enough today).

When we got to the house I pulled the car up into the driveway and Patch parked on the side of the road. We met up halfway up the path to the house and Patch walked me to the front door, which was slightly ajar.

Patch pushed me behind him and stood in front of me protectively as we slowly edged our way inside. It was quiet, nothing out of the ordinary and we couldn't hear a sound. I looked at the table next to the front door, there was a set of car keys in the key bowl. The keys had a small bead keychain that I remember making when I was eight.

"Mum?" I called out to the seemingly empty house and Patch slapped his hand across my mouth as soon as the word left my mouth and gave me an are you STUPID? look.

"Surprise!"
