GUESS WHAT TODAY IS!!!!!

(Nico: Definitely not your birthday.)

Did you hear something?

Oh, well! Must've been my imagination.

As you can see, my birthday has long passed already, but my author was too lazy to write a whole chapter the next day.

To make up for it, I will tell you all about the messed up 'party,' yeah?

So, it begins.....

"Happy- wait, you're not, Clare..." Cole said. Everyone popped up from their hiding spot just to see some random girl.

"No, I'm not, but good job on the surprising part!" She smiles and give him a thumbs up.

"Thanks, but could you move?" Andy gave her an even better smiling face. Cole faints from all the light and into her arms.

Andy quietly giggles. She was victorious again from her rival. "Are you sure Clare is still awake? Are you sure she even remembered?" One of the C.S.D. members asked.

Shadow stared at the door with a bored expression. "Oh, she remembered, couldn't shut up at all. Now, where the hell could she be?!"

---Where Clare Was a Bit Later---

"YOU LITTLE CUNNING BRAT!"

"YOU OLD WRINKLE FACED HAG!"

I was about to throw some of my vegetables when Nico stopped me. "Is this how family reunions usually end with your family?"

"SHE KILLED MY GUINEA PIG!!!" I shouted at him.

"How many times do I have to tell you? THAT WAS A RAT!!!!" My mom screamed at me.

Nico held me back while I sob. "W-why did it have spots then?"

My mother held her temples, massaging them. "You drew them on."

I look away. "Amelia was a pure bread. She came like that. YOU GAVE HER TO ME LIKE THAT!"

She looked away this time. "Er-" Nico tried to interrupt us, but my mom cut him off. "Shut it, this is between me and my adorable little brat."

I turned red, not from embarrassment. "I have been taller than you since I was in fifth grade, kay?"

She grabs a broom and slams it on the table. "We got that out of the way, so..?"

I run to my mommy and hug her tight. "AHHHHH, I MISSED YOU SO MUCH, MOMMY!!!"

My mom pulls away first and squished my cheeks. "You got thinner. Eat more rice." I nod and pout. "Ma, my cheeks hurt..."

She smiles and let go of my cheeks, but not without smacking my cheeks.

Nico comes up from behind and places his arm over my shoulder. "I now understand so many things about the world..." He mutters.

I try to understand, but my mom interrupts.

"How was camp?"

"Tiring. Aching bones. Muscles. Abs. Oh, and drama."

"Nice, how were the abs." My mother, why.

Nico smirks, thinking I'll actually complement him.

I smirk back at him. "Oh, gods mother. Biceps are heavenly. The Apollo dudes are pretty cute. Tan and sweat."

I look at Nico and started laughing in the inside. "O-oh?" My mom asks.

She fans her face. "What about Nico?"

"Yeah, Clare. What about me?" He throws me a dirty look and I happily catch it. "Eh, do a bit more sit-ups and I'll talk about you like them Apollo boys."

I just laugh and hug him. "I'm just kidding..."

"Whatever." He mutters, picking at his food. "Don't worry, you're the only one who made me barf my guts out."

He grins, remembering the night at the hotel. "I still remember the stench."

My laugh was sour. "Of course you would, ya dildo."

My mom 'oohed' her hair off. "You ain't real enough to be called a dick." I did some weird motion with my hands and backed away slowly.

"Uhhh, okay then. I'll be back in a minute."

I nodded and watched him leave like the stalker I am.

"He's really sweet." My mom gushes. I nod, placing my elbow on the table. "He gives me a toothache."

"Cute and has that bad boy feel around him." She puts her hands on her cheeks. I can pretty much see the heart eyes going on. I can't blame her, I had them heart eyes on the bus when I first met him.

"Your dad had that bad boy feel. Bitch didn't know how to fucking use a condom, but at least I had you."

I giggle. "Even though I haven't really met him, he seems like an idiot, but a fatherly idiot."

"He fucked pretty good too..." Her eyes go to some dream world of the past and I shiver. "Still gross. No matter what."

Nico comes back and my mom is still day dreaming.

"You and your mom are similar in so many ways."

"She is a pretty cool mom." I say proudly.

"Hormonal too." He muttered.

I smack him. "By the way, I need to leave soon." My jaw drops and shuts right back up. "Oh, okay. Be safe."

He winks at me.

I smack him again.

We both laugh at each other at how idiotic we are.

"WE'RE HEREEEEE!!!!" I turn around and see Andy, Shadow, and Irissa.

I smile and run over to them. "Oh, gods..."

They come in and introduce themselves to my mom. "I'm Shadow." Shad smiles and gives a little wave.

"I'm Irissa!" She smiles and waves both hands, trying to top Shad's introduction. Shadow pushes her back into the wall. "We are really sorry that we came here unexpectedly. We wanted to be her with Clare for her birthday that she wouldn't shut up about."

She is still smiling and my mom smiles back. "I understand that her type of annoying is extremely annoying."

I roll my eyes as the two bond from complaining about me. "Great, let's watch some tv, yeah?" Irissa nods and Andy zooms past her. She took the good seat as always.

"You guys can take pick of which room you want to sleep in. My room or the living room?"

They choose the living room and we bring out our blankets and pillows. Nico was still with us and we were having a whole lot of fun until it was time for Nico to leave. "Bye Neeks!!!" My mom yells. We look at her weirdly.

"What? It seems cute..."

I shake my head and push him out the door. I come along too.

We walk down the stairs quietly. "Thanks for bringing me to my mom's, Nico." I smile at the ground, enjoying what had happened today.

"No problem, but it'll cost you." He wiggles his eyebrows and I roll my eyes. "Just say it already, damnit."

He pulls me into a warm hug and I snuggle into him. "You're really warm, Nico..." He chuckles and I sniff him. "New shampoo?" I asked.

"Yep." He pulls away, but I pull him into another hug.

"If you keep hugging me like this, I won't leave."

"Why can't you stay?" I meekly ask.

He pats my head. "I made a promise to Shadow."

I nod. "Okay, but give me- give me more hugs, 'kay?"

He nods. "Happy birthday, Clare. He kisses me on the cheek. "I-I love you." He blushes.

I turn red. "I love you too..."

"So, uh, see ya!"

My eyes widened. "Y-yeah!" I wave him good bye and run up the stairs.

When I came back up, I laid myself on the couch and passed out.

OKAYYYYY, I FEEL SO SAD!!!!!! ONE MORE CHAPTER AND THIS BOOK IS DONE....

SHOULD I WRITE A SEQUEL? OR NOT? I don't think I should...
