Birthday Plans

The bell rang, dismissing class students rushed from their seats to get to their next class in the five minute passing period. Luckily for Avis, her next class was just across the main hallway. She stopped by her locker to change her science binder for her English binder and textbook. As she closed the locker door, a hand landed on her shoulder. The teenager jumped in fright, but the familiar tinkle sound of laughter made Avis grin as she realized who it was that had sneaked up behind her.

"Celia," she gasped as she placed a hand over her heart. "You scared me to death!"

Celia grinned, her soft blonde hair fell straight over her shoulders, as brushed it away from her face. "Sorry, couldn't resist. It was too much fun to not," she admitted with another laugh.

Avis grinned and shook her head, her fire-orange waves followed. "Were's Abi? She's usually with you."

"She ran to her locker, since it's in D-wing. We'll meet her in class," Celia reassured her friend with a smile on her face.

Together the duo navigated their way from the science wing. They crossed the main hallway with a few bumps as they made it to the other side. The door was open and the pair slipped inside. Avis placed her binder and text book in her seat, before she followed Celia. Celia sat in her seat and Avis sat on the desk, her legs swung out.

"I can't wait for tomorrow," Celia commented as she looked up to meet her friend's eyes.

"Me either, it's going to be an awesome night. You and Abi both celebrate your eighteenth's before I do. You tomorrow, and Abi in March. I hate you both but I love you at the same time," Avis sighed as she rolled her eyes.

"Well, we can't help when we're born, can we Celia?" Abi asked as she approached her two friends. Together the pair smiled as they looked at Avis with teasing grins on their face.

Before Avis could reply the bell rang. Avis hopped off the desk and made her way to her seat.
