Carriber Stone

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARR!" Dave sings and yells into his brother's ear.

Carriber Stone first closes his ears, shifts, and finally opens his eyes and smiles. "Aw, thank you Dave." He yawns.

Carriber's brother rolls his eyes and shakes him. "Oh come on, Carr! It's your birthday! Get up!"

Carriber just hits Dave's arm with a pillow and covers his head with the blanket. "Go away," he mumbles.

Carriber's mother and father come in, and shake Carriber, lightly.

"Carr. Son," his father says. "Get up."

Carriber slowly removes the blanket from his head and glances at his parents.

"Happy Birthday Carriber!" his mother and father wish him.

He grins. "Thanks mum! Thanks dad!"

He finally gets up and takes a shower. Changing into brand new jeans and shirt, he feels glad his birthday is on a saturday.

"Hmm... smells good," he says as he smells and sees his parents cooking his favorite breakfast for him.

Half n' hour later, even Ashton and Shanely join them.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARR!" the two yell as Carriber opens the door for them. The two thrust their gift in his hands basically enter the house like family members.

"Hey Tanneli. Hey George," Shanely greets.

Carriber rolls his eyes, still not understanding how Shanely got to call his parents by their first names.

Soon, gifts are opened, greetings are exchanged and the cake is cut.

"Oh come on, birthday boy. Pick a movie," Ashton whines.

"I am."

"Fast." Ashton glares.

"I give up! You choose!"

Shanely hits her palm to her forhead. "Would've done that long ago if it wasn't your birthday!"

Carriber groans and randomly picks a CD. He grins at the title. "Grown Ups. Awesome!"

"Finally!" Ashton says and grabs the CD away from him. Carriber's parents and Dave enter with bunch of food including popcorn, drinks, chips, nachos, bagels, and some slices of homemade pizza.

Fifteen minutes later into the movie, the bell rings. Everyone groans. Carriber says, "No worries. I watched this movie like a hundred times. I'll go get it."

Carriber opens the door to a postman carrying a small parcel with a letter attached to it. He grins when he understands whose letter it was.

Not wanting to seem suspicious, Carriber sits on the kitchen table and opens Allie's letter. He was waiting for the letter since past four days.

He reads it slowly, and realises he was smiling the whole time.

"Mom! Dad!" he yells as he clings to the yellow t-shirt.

Ashton pauses the movie and all turn around. "What happened?"

"Allie," he starts, "got me a new t-shirt for my birthday. Its yellow and it is so good!"

And for the next two minutes, the six of them praise Allie.

"I'll keep this stuff in my room. Continue with the movie. I'll be back in a minute."

In his room, he discovers Allie's photo.

She's so pretty. Brown eyes... brown hair... and she's also so nice. It is like her personality is reflected on her face. White suits her a lot. God I love her eyes a lot. They are so big, and so beautiful. And she is natural. No makeup. I can see it.

He goes down to resume his celebrations. But his mind was near the girl who sent him letters, not in the movie playing beside him.
