Chereads / Annie Grey / Chapter 197 - But why?

Chapter 197 - But why?

"So Maddie when is your birthday?" asked Evie as she Annie and Maddie were all in Annie and Maddie's room, and Evie was sitting comfortably on Annie's bed.

Evie was still in the party mood, from Annie's birthday yesterday and she was looking to see who's birthday was next, so she could start planning, and this time, she would suggest vanilla flavoured cake.

"Yes right, when is your birthday, I also do not know" said Annie as she laughed while she tied her hair into a ponytail.

"Haha well it's May 3rd" replied Maddie as she smiled, she was busy folding her recently washed laundry and Annie was helping her.

"Oooh the 3rd of May, that is next month" said Evie

"Haha yes" said Maddie

"We have to celebrate it" said Evie as she was already ready for a party.

"Hahaha no" said Maddie

"But why?" asked Evie

"Well I do not really like celebrating my birthday" said Maddie

"Awww why not?" asked Evie

"Haha it's nothing, I just don't like celebrating my birthday that's all" said Maddie

"Yes, but that's not all, there must be a reason why you do not like celebrating your birthday" said Evie as she ignored Annie's warning gaze.

If Maddie did not want to talk about why she doesn't celebrate her birthday then that was fine, there was no need to dig deeper, she had her reasons, but no Evie did not seem to understand that, she kept on pressing, which was why Annie was trying to caution her, but Evie would not listen.

"Look I just don't like celebrating my birthday" said Maddie

"*sigh* I do not have good memories of my birthday, normal parents like yours would Love to celebrate for their children, but my so called parents never cared at all, they always forgot it, and when I reminded them, they never took it seriously, so in the end I stopped caring about my birthday... it was just a day anyway" said Maddie sadly

"The only person that actually always remembered my Birthday was Anthony" said Maddie

"He would always sneak me a cupcake and light a candle on it for me to blow" she said as she smiled

"But when I got older and the cupcake was too small to fit all my candles so Anthony would show me a magic trick" she said

"I know it sounds childish, I told Anthony that I was older and that magic tricks were for babies, but he insisted and you know what he did?" asked Maddie as she looked at Annie and Evie who nodded their heads no.

"Haha well he made fireworks appear in my room, and the fireworks spelt "Happy Birthday Maddie" they were very colourful and bright, and I loved them" said Maddie as she smiled.

"That sounds so cool" said Evie as she smiled

"Haha yes it was" said Maddie as she smiled back.

"Anyway, that is why I do not like celebrating my birthday, so now you know, you can leave me alone now Evie" said Maddie

"Hey what did I do?" asked Evie

"Nothing Nothing" said Maddie

"Brb" she said as she stepped into the bathroom.

Evie pointed to Annie and then she pointed to her head and made a crazy move as she rotated her fingers around her head and then she moved to her mouth.

Annie knew that Evie meant that she wanted them to talk telepathically.

"What is it Evie?" asked Annie as she popped into Evie's mind

"Haha it worked!! I am a genius as always" said Evie in her mind.

"Haha okay right" said Annie as she laughed.

"Anyway, I feel bad for Maddie, I suggest that we throw her a surprise party" said Evie

"Because I doubt she has ever had a Birthday Party before" said Evie

"Oooh that is a good Idea Evie but..." said Annie

"But what?" asked Evie

"But didn't Maddie just tell us that she does not like celebrating her Birthday, so won't that be disrespecting her wishes if we do throw her a party?" asked Annie

"Ahhh well remember that she told us that SHE does not like celebrating her Birthday, she never said anything about US celebrating her birthday for her" said Evie as she smiled.

"Ahhh. but.... Oh you are good" said Annie as she could not believe how Evie just twisted Maddie's words.

"Haha Thank you" said Evie

"Remind me to be careful around you" said Annie as she laughed

"Haha No I won't, besides you are fineee, I would never do anything to frame you... except it's for your own good" came Evie's sweet voice.

"Haha rightt" said Annie

"Anyway so we should tell the others, and then we start planning now, then we get a list of all of Maddie's favourite things and throw the party of her dreams for her" said Evie as she thumbs upped

"Haha Yessss, it's settled then" said Annie as she smiled and thumbs upped back.

"Umm what are you girls doing so quiet??" asked Maddie as she came out of the bathroom.

"Ahhh nothing Maddie, me and Annie were just having a staring contest right Annie?" said Evie as she quickly put her thumbs down and looked at Annie while smiling.

"Well we are now" said Annie to herself.

"Ahh yes, yes we are" said Annie as she smiled back.

"Oooh okay, so who won?" asked Maddie

"Well I did of course" said Evie smugly

"Ahh what, that's because I let you win" said Annie as she could not believe how quick Evie was to take the glory.

"Ha ha ha right" said Evie

"Wow Evie just wow" said Annie

"Haha you two, what's the big fight about a staring contest?" asked Maddie as she laughed at the funny display going on right before her eyes.

"Ahhh it's nothing Annie is just being a sore loser" said Evie

"Oh what???" said Annie

"Well if that is so, then we should just tell Maddie what we were really doing" said Annie as she looked at Evie

"No" said Evie

"Well Maddie me and Evie were discussing..." said Annie as she was suddenly cut off, my Evie literally jumping on top of her and she used her hand to cover Annie's mouth.

"NO" said Evie

"Umm okay, you both are very suspicious now" said Maddie

"So what were you actually talking about?" asked Maddie with a raised eyebrow.

"Haha it was nothing really" said Evie as she laughed, while still covering Maddie's mouth with her hand,

"Evie??" said Maddie

"Okay fineee, me and Annie were discussing when you would get a boyfriend" said Evie

"What??" asked Maddie in shock, even Annie's eyes went wide, what in the world was Evie saying???

"Okay, wait let me get this straight you and Annie were talking about me having a boyfriend and then you covered that up with a fake staring contest, and because Annie was about to expose you, you jumped on her and covered her mouth" said Maddie

"Yes Exactly!" said Evie

"Right Annie?" asked Evie as she smiled and looked at Annie and removed her hand from Annie's mouth.

"Right" said Annie as she looked at Evie with a gaze that said "You owe me one"

"Haha wow unbelievable" said Maddie as she laughed.

"Well for your information, you two gossipers, I do not have any plans of getting one" said Maddie

"And also we all know, who's going to date first" said Maddie as she smirked and looked at Annie

"Ahh yes" said Evie as she smiled and looked at Annie too.

"What are you two saying?" asked Annie

"Haha nothing nothing" said Evie as she laughed.

"Wow, you two are just being very annoying today, so see you I am going to look for Curtis" said Annie as she stood up and picked something from the table before she proceeded to the door,

"You know that you can just call Curtis over here right?" said Maddie

"Yes I do, and Byeeee" said Annie as she left the room, she did not think that she could handle being in the same room as those two when they were being this annoying

"Haha Hi Curtis" said Annie as she smiled and entered he and Matt's room after she knocked.

"Hello Annie" said Curtis as he smiled back.

"Ahhh where is Matt?" asked Annie as she looked around but didn't see him.

"Well he went out or something" said Curtis

"Ahh okay" said Annie

"Well I got you something" said Annie

"Oh really what is the occasion?" asked Curtis as Annie gave him a wrapped rectangular box.

"Well yesterday was my birthday, but it was also something special for you too" said Annie as she smiled.

"Which is?" asked Curtis

"Its the one year anniversary of me having you silly" said Annie as she laughed

"Hahah right" said Curtis as he opened the gift

"It's a green beanie, it matched your eyes, and I just want to say Thank you, for being the best Guardian and friend that I could ever have" said Annie as she smiled sweetly.

"Thank you Annie, I am honored to have the privilege of mentoring such a kind Grey as you" said Curtis as he smiled.

"Awww Curtis" said Annie as she hugged him, and he hugged her too.
