You've Got That One Thing [On Hold]

Chapter 10

“She said she tried but the call didn’t reach you. So shall we go?” I asked.

“Okie Dokie! Let’s go!” she smiled. We linked arms and skipped towards my car. Yes, we skipped. Problem, papayas?

Soon after, we were at the doorstep of Annabelle’s small yet comfy looking apartment. El immediately knocked on the door. Someone’s excited to see her best friend. I stopped her and took the key from under the mat.

“Annabelle told me she’s at the doctor’s and to let ourselves in. The outfit is in her room.” I said, answering her questioning look. She merely nodded. As I unlocked the door, I realised Annabelle’s house looked much bigger from the inside. Purple, Black and White coloured the walls. Even the furniture was purple.

“Mental note to self: Buy something purple for Annabelle as a present on her birthday.” I muttered causing El to laugh. We made our way towards Anna’s room. There on the bed was a cute outfit.

“Right! So I’ll be in the purple room a.k.a living room. Come out when you’re ready.” I smiled, closing the door behind me.

Within minutes, El was ready. Truth to be told, she looked stunning! The outfit included black leggings and a sparkly brown sequined short. She had a black singlet under a pink shirt which had a black skull in the middle. Over it, she had a long sleeved black jacket. To finish it off, she wore black heels. She also had a waist-length brown wavy hair down, beautifully surrounding her face. Her side bands was neatly swept to the right. As usual, she had no makeup at all. She looked great, with natural beauty. So why add makeup unnecessarily?

I smiled and linked arms with her. Together, we walked out of the house. I was careful to lock the door and place the key where I found it.

As I opened the door for El, I pulled out my phone and sent a message to Annabelle.

“Part A - dress up Ellie, is complete. Part B - Ice rink, commences now.

-Drake”

I smiled at the message. I sound like a detective. Detective Drake is here. Call the cops.

Within seconds, my phone buzzed.

“Good job Detective Drake. We are ready for El’s arrival. message me once outside the rink.

-Detective Annabelle.”

Let Part B of surprise Ellie commence!

3rd person P.O.V

Annabelle woke up dazed. Aaargh, how she hated waking up early for school. Her eyes roamed around the room before landing on her table-top calendar. Today’s Ellie’s birthday! This whole week, she had hardly spent any time with Ellie. Why? No. Not because she was a horrible best friend. In fact, the total opposite. She was being a brilliant best friend and was planning a surprise party for Ellie. Afterall, she was turning 18! One does not simply not celebrate when you become a legal adult!

Annabelle was in this party planning with One Direction and Drake. Yes, One Direction, THE One Direction were planning Ellie’s birthday. Be jealous, pineapples! The plan was that Drake was to ask Ellie to go ice-skating with him after school. Annabelle would bunk school, being a badass and an excellent best friend she is, she would lie and say she has caught the cough and will reject El’s offer of going to school together. Lying i this case was acceptable, afterall it was for a good cause right?

On the other hand, Drake will follow El to school and later escort her to the ice-skating rink which is totally booked just for El’s birthday by One Direction.

Annabelle pulled out an outfit for El to wear later. Next, she took a quick shower and dressed up. Unlike El, she love make-up. She always wore foundation, mascara, eyeliner, blush and lipstick. She always put these to make a freckles less visible.

Within minutes, she was ready to meet the famous boy-band and decorate the rink. Since El’s work started today, Annabelle had informed them it was her birthday. Did Annabelle forget to mention that Nando’s had a special privilege for their staff? She did? Bleh. You’ll know now. The privilege was the day off and a free nando’s meal. Because of that, They were going to eat there after skating.

On the other hand, in one direction’s apartment, Liam, Niall and Louis were singing the Wake Up song to Zayn and Harry. Afterall their hard work, they just have to be there for their new best friend, Ellie’s birthday. They needed to be early to make sure everything was indeed perfect. Finally, one direction were up, ready and on their way to the ice-skating rink.

A few days ago, Annabelle had contacted the lads and asked help in making Ellie’s birthday perfect. It was her 18th afterall. And of course, the lads, being the nice gentlemen they were had accepted it. Together, they planned everything. From the location, to her presents, to the food. They thought of everything, systematically. Who knew the 5 idiots who had the attention span of goldfishes could plan all of this in a short period of time? No one. That’s who.

Soon, Annabelle called Drake and informed him of his task. Later, she met up with Louis and the others. Together, they’ll decorate the entire rink. That was hard work to do. Afterall, Louis was in this plan wasn’t he? Hence, after a lot of distractions later, the rink was ready for El. This took, 4 hours. To hang a few banners her and there. Why you may ask. Simple. Louis. Harry. Liam. Niall. Zayn.

Louis would go “SUPERMAN!” every couple of minutes. Harry would flick his hair every couple of minutes. Niall would laugh every single second. Liam would slap each of them at the back of their heads every time they did something they shouldn’t do. And Zayn. Well, he just stared at the reflective ice and say “Aren’t you a hottie.”

These boys, are retarded. In fact, retard is an understatements. Can you believe it? These weirdos are loved worldwide!

Just as they hung the ‘Happy 18th Birthday Ellie!” banner, Annabelle’s phone buzzed. Drake. It seems like they were on the way. One Direction immediately went into hiding, bubbling with excitement and nervousness.

Will Ellie like the surprise?
