18: happy birthday mike

"one..two..three!"

we flew the door open and michael's head shot up from under his covers.

me, ashton, and luke jumped onto him.

"happy birthday michael!"

"stawwp. go away."

"but its your birthday!"

he got out of his bed and rubbed his eyes.

"its my birthday?"

"yes! november 20th."

"oh yeah. thanks guys."

"your welcome."

"where's cal?"

i got up and left the room. then i went into calum's room.

i knocked on the door. a red-eyed calum opened the door. his eyes grew wide when he saw it was me.

"c-come in."

"oh my god calum."

"what?"

"just get out here and say happy birthday to your bestfriend."

"no. he took away my girlfriend."

"i'm not dating anyone."

"if-if i go say happy birthday to him, will you start talking to me again? on a regular basis."

"yeah yeah. just go."

he ran out of the room and ran into michael's room.

"happy birthday!"

he turned around and almost bumped into me.

"now love me."

"no."

"ugh!"

he ran back into his room, which left everyone to look at me.

"i already know what i'm wishing for."

"what?"

"can't tell you. or else it won't come true."

luke brought in his birthday cake. it had 19 candles exactly on it.

"hurry up and make a wish."

"okay, okay."

he closed his eyes and took about 10 seconds to think, and then he blew out his candles.

"ayyyeeee!"

"what'd you wish for?"

"nothing to big."

he looked over at me and winked. oh.

we all went downstairs, including calum. ashton made michael's favorite. bacon. ugh.

"ash! why'd you make bacon?"

"because it's your birthday."

"thanks. but syd doesn't like bacon."

"so?"

"n-nevermind."

we all sat down. i got toast and vegemite.

"so. michael. what are you planning on doing today?"

"nothing. playing video games. maybe skype my parents. maybe get my birthday presents?"

"oh yeah."

ashton and luke both got up and ran into their rooms, which left me, calum, and michael alone.
