Drabble #32: May 23rd

Prompted by: PeddieTogether4Ever

Patricia

I woke up. Empty room. Weird. I decided to ignore it, moving on. I grab my phone off of my nightstand: 1 new message. I unlock it, and then see that the message is from Piper.

Hey sis! Happy bday! Sry, can't call... Friends r taking me 2 a music fest. Luv ya!

I roll my eyes and smile. May 23rd, 2013, my phone reads. That date always gives me the chills. I hurry up and get ready, slipping into my uniform, and leaving my hair naturally wavy. Stepping into my favorite pair of combat boots, I shuffle down the stairs, and into the common room. My stomachs growls as I approach the table. "Morning Patricia." Joy smiles. I roll my eyes.

"Morning..." I mumble back, taking my seat. "Where's Eddie?" I ask.

"Oh, he's just in his room. Probably getting something for his special someone's special day..." Alfie jokes. I roll my eyes, for the third time in about ten minutes.

"Highly doubt that, he probably forgot anyways..." I mutter, scooping myself some cereal.

"Oh please, all he does is ramble on and on about you... I highly doubt that he could forget your birthday." Fabian smiles at me. "Happy birthday, by the way."

"Thanks." I smile.

"To Trixie's birthday!" Jerome toasts, as we all clink glasses and laugh.

"Morning everybody!" Eddie calls, entering the room. "Why's everybody clashing glasses?" He asks.

"Oh we're-" Willow starts, but I just cut her off.

"It's this tradition we used to do, years ago. Time to bring it back." Everyone gives me a weird look, but I ignore it.

"Actually-" This time it's Joy I cut off.

"Why do you call it clashing anyways? Is that some weird American word I've never heard of? KT?" I ask, shooting her a harsh glance.

"Umm, nope... Never heard of that one..." She says, giving me an odd look, while I breathe a sigh of relief. "Well, I better head off..."

"Yeah, great idea KT." I smile, as Eddie looks at me weird.

"Yacker, you okay?" He asks suspiciously.

"Yeah I'm fine." I say a bit too quickly.

"Okay... Come on! We've got a long day ahead of us!" He says, tossing an arm around my shoulder.

"Like what?" I pipe up.

"Oh, school... Tires ya out, ya know?" He says.

"Yeah, I know..." I reply, disappointed.

We head over to school, just talking about nonsense. In a way, I was a bit sad that he hasn't mentioned my birthday. Maybe he has actually forgotten... I sigh, shrugging my shoulders, and heading off to class.

We arrive back at the house, and I see that no one has done anything for my birthday. Just as I instructed. Throughout the day, everyone ended up giving me individual presents. Joy, a best friend's necklace. KT, a leather cuff bracelet with spikes, which I happened to like very much... Fabian, a gift card, Jerome and Alfie, new hair extensions. Then from Mara and Willow, a brand new pair of combat boots. I thanked them all, then ended up stuffing all my new presents underneath the bed.

"Hey." Eddie said, walking in my room.

"Oh hey." I mumble.

"What's up?" He asks in an weird tone.

"Eddie... Ugh never mind!" I growl.

"Whoa... Yacker... What's up?"

"I knew it. You did forget my birthday, didn't you?" I huff. Surprisingly, he just smiles. "What the hell is wrong with you?" I sneer.

"I was just coming up to give you your present. Thought you weren't going to crack." He smirks, pulling out a slim, black box from behind his back. I smile, walking over to him and snatching it from him.

"This better make up for your little trick." I grumble.

"Oh, I think it will." I open it, and there lays a bejeweled necklace. Written in soft, cursive letters: Yacker.

"Eddie..." I smile.

"Do you like it?" He asks.

"No... I love it!" I laugh, as he puts it on me.

"Now we just have to see if your gift for my birthday will live up to this..." He jokes.

"When's your birthday again?" I tease.

Sorry if there was no cute Peddie moment... I'm exhausted... Have to go to Mexican Fiesta for dinner, then to a bunch of other stores to shop for shelves... That's my Saturday night... Mhm... This chapter's question:
