The Bites of Love & Life- Bitten

Chapter 7- Sweet Sixteen

Chapter 7- Sweet Sixteen

"Hey mom. Can I go somewhere with my friends this weekend?"

"Sure, honey. Where are you going?" My mother asked.

"We were going to take a tour of Vermont." That's the lie we made up.

"Wonderful! When will you be back?"

"Maybe Sunday, it's a little ways away from here." Now that was the truth.

"Okay." She answered.

"Bye, mom."

"Bye Camille."

I hung up the phone and sighed in relief.

***

I was so excited for the "tour".

Everyone's parents said yes, after a lot of talking on the phone. Ugh, parents.

We are leaving Saturday morning at eleven.

Too bad it's only Tuesday.

But, it's a very special Tuesday.

Because.. Today is my birthday!!

We had just barely started our school year. I have an August birthday.

I will not only have a party, but a sweet sixteen!

The fact that it's my birthday might have affected the decision of our "tour".

I almost forgot it was my birthday, to be honest.

With a mystery to solve, there has been other stuff going on.

"Camille!" My dad yelled. "Come here for a sec!"

I went downstairs to see what he wanted me for.

"Close your eyes!" My mother said excitedly.

I did, and heard the front door being opened while I was lead outside.

"Happy sixteenth birthday!" They yelled together as I opened my eyes.

I gasped.

There, in the parking lot, was a beautiful car.

It was a shiny royal blue color with soft beige seats.

Mom dangled the keys in my ear.

I spun around and thanked them a million times.

They waved goodbye as I pulled out of the driveway in my new car.

I had gotten my drivers license two weeks ago.

I pulled into the school and shut off the engine.

Alex was staring at me with an amused look on his face.

"Happy Birthday, Baby!!" He called.

"Shh!" I covered his mouth. "I don't want everyone to know.

Too late.

Everyone walked past saying happy birthday.

"Look what you've done!" I joked.

He chuckled.

"Punish me later." He took my hand and led me into the school.

"Oh, I will."

***

I waited for gym, to see if I could do what I did yesterday.

We played badminton today.

I hit every birdie that came my way and served perfectly each time.

That night, I had the best sweet sixteen ever. All my friends and my boyfriend were there, dancing all night.
