When Luke comes to my house, I hug him and say, "happy birthday Luke", kissing him on the cheeks.
He blushes, at least Trina isn't here, so she wouldn't embarrass me.
I suggest, "let's order some pizza and watch some Netflix", he nods.
I order pizza and the delivery person arrives quickly because Brandon is the one delivering it.
He smiles, "see you at the pa-, at the park."
Luke is inside so I whisper, "you almost blow our cover", he shrugs and leaves with the money.
I close back the door, thank goodness that Luke is in the theater room.
I walk to the room and say, "pizza is here, let's dig in", and so we did.
Luke says, "I wonder what the guys are doing? They only call this morning to tell me happy birthday."
I shrug but smiling in my mind.

Justin's POV
We are currently decorating my living room and outside by the pool, Luke is going to be so surprised. My gift for him is my motorcycle, I have three so I can give him one.
Arlene says from the front door, "the cake is here."
We order a big rectangular cake.
I say, "put it in the kitchen just tell me when the thirty boxes of pizza arrive because that's the first trip."
It's a pizza party, I know Luke would love them.
I will send a guy to pick up Luke and Anne when it's time.
Jordan asks, "how are we going to get this disco ball all the way up there?" Pointing at the ceiling.
I call our family's repairman, he'll be here shortly.
I respond, "our repairman will do that, go and check on the chocolate fountain outside", he nods.
Jordan came here looking very angry this morning, he got pranked, I knew that because he didn't do anything to win a million dollars.
Anne has the video of him and I am going to show it tonight just have to get popcorn.
I shout, "Hi Carl! Come for a sec!"
Carlos comes from the kitchen.
He says, "what's up?"
I reply, "go to the grocery store and buy twenty microwave popcorn and hurry we still have to set up the DJ and you all still have to go get ready and Arlene would take a year just to do that."
He takes the money and leaves, I am putting up the sign, 'HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY LUKE'.

Anastasia's POV
5:00 pm
We are sitting in a taxi going to Justin's house, Luke had on a pair of joggers and a T-shirt to match. I had a blue short dress with silver heels and my hair in a bun.
I edited the video, so tonight Jordan would be famous.
Luke sighs, he looks bored, my gift is at Justin's house already.
We arrive at Justin's house and the taxi driver says, "happy birthday son, hope you enjoy it."
Luke mumbles something then we get out of the car.
I open the gate and walk to the front door with Luke behind me, I text Justin before we left.
Luke looks unhappy, I open the door and get in quickly before Luke.
When he opens the door, everyone shouts, "surprise!"
Luke is speechless.
Carlos says, "happy birthday", giving him a man's hug.
Justin whispers in my ears, "you have the tape right?"
I nod.
Arlene looks beautiful, she had on a high waist green dress and gold heels, her hair let out.
She hugs Luke and says, "happy 18th birthday."
Luke smiles.
I take out my camera and hand it to Arlene.
I say, "group picture guys."
We all stand in front of the sign and pose for pictures.
"Cheeeese."
Arlene takes the picture.
I see Stephanie and her minions, what are they doing here?
Most of the boys go into the kitchen, I tug on Justin's shirt.
He watches me with concern, I ask, "what are they doing here?"
I point at Stephanie.
He shrugs, "well we kind of invite half of the school and since she's popular, she must go to every party".
I say, "I am going to get something to drink."
He nods.
I see the front door opens, revealing a handsome guy, Brandon.
He had a bag in his hand, he smiles at me.
I walk up to him and kiss him, then someone clears their throat behind us, I turn around to see Nikki watching us with a frown, she says, "this is not a make-out party."
I snap, "what about that couple across there? They are particularly having s**."
I grab Brandon's hand and leave.

Luke's POV
They are going to give me gifts right now.
I ask, "who wants to go first?"
Brandon puts up his hand, he gives me a bag and I open it, it is an Ipod, I say, "thanks, man."
Arlene is next, she says, "this is my gift", pulling a girl, she has black hair, blue eyes and has on a dress with a bow on her head.
She gives me a shy smile, Arlene says, "this is my cousin Gabriella, if you break her heart, I will kill you."
I laugh and shake my head, I say to Gabriella, "Hi my name is Luke", she smiles.
It is Kyle's turn, he gives me a leather jacket and new gloves. Carlos gives me two tickets to a basketball game, I smile. The twins give me a new Xbox and headphones.
Then it is Anne's turn, she hands me something wrap in gift paper when I open it, it was a gold hoverboard.
I squeeze her and say, "this is the best gift ever."
She says, "and it gets better", then she handed me some tickets. I gasp its tickets to the water park I wanted to go to, "this is the best gift ever."
Justin snorts, "please my gift is way better, DJ music please", then the music comes on.
Justin says, "follow me and close your eyes", someone blindfolds me, they lead me somewhere, when they take it off, I gasp, it's a motorbike with a red bow on it.
Jordan says, "told you mines is the best."
Anne rolls her eyes.
I whisper, "he wishes, yours is way better."
She laughs.
****
After everyone leaves it's just me and my friends.
Arlene says, "I have one more surprise for the birthday boy."
I smile.
Justin says, "and action."
They put on the projector and the show begins.
I see Jordan walk into the bank smiling, I glance at him and he is clutching his fist looking at Arlene. I laugh when he enters the office and the manager told him he was a prank, and the guys are laughing also, but Kyle is rolling on the floor.
When he exits the bank, I clap, Jordan asks, "how did you get to two places at once?"
Arlene shrugs.
Anne is laughing so hard, she fell off the couch, but Brandon grabs her quickly. I yawn, this has been the best Eighteenth Birthday.
