Keira's POV:
I stared at my phone screen as I read the text from Cassidy
Cassidy: I don't think I can come to Darcy's birthday :/
Keira: what do you mean? Darcy's already nervous of you ditching
Cassidy: I know but Jaden finally asked me out!
Keira: I don't care, you promised you'd be there!
Cassidy: ok fine I'll just reschedule :/
Keira: you better
I put my phone away, I can't believe that she'd rather go out with on a date than be there for a friend. I sighed, it was almost 6pm which meant that I have one hour to get dressed for Darcy's birthday, I looked into my closet, dresses, skirts and jeans with t-shirts, I decided on black jeans and a brown t-shirt and my hair left open. As Harry would say simple but affective. What not a lot of people know about me is that I'm a massive Directioner, pictures and posters of them were pasted all over my purple walls.
Darcy's POV:
It was finally the evening of my birthday, I looked around my room, the white walls were covered in pictures of me and my friends and the pin up board which was covered in a bunch of sketches. I walked to my closet trying to decide on what to wear I didn't need to think much to decide on black boots a leather skirt and a white turtleneck. I put my hair up. Since all of my friends and my family couldn't possibly fit in one car, my family decided they'd go in one and I could go with my friends.
"You look wonderful" my mom said as I walked down the stairs looking for my car keys
"Thanks, so do you" I said as my mom put on her earrings.
"Dad! Do you have any idea where my car keys are?" I asked him hoping he'd hear from the other room
"They're next to Kaylee's bag"
"Thank you!" I said as I grabbed my keys and walked out of the house
First I'd pick up Luke because his house was the closest, the wind hit my face as I drove faster than usual it felt nice to have a day that was just mine. I honked my horn signaling Luke to come out. The tall blond boy walked out of his house in jeans and a t-shirt.
"You didn't have to honk so many times" he said as he sat in the front seat beside me
"I did, you took forever!" I complained
"Okok come on, we gotta pick up Cassidy and Keira as well" he said
"We would've been there sooner if you didn't take so long" I stated sarcastically
"Why are you so salty it's literally your birthday!"
"It's like you don't know me at all"
I honked my signalling Cassidy that I was here, I saw her step out of her house in a blue dress that we're just above her knees.
"Hello pretty lady!" I said as she got in the back seat of the car
"As if, it's like you never looked into the mirror" she said rolling her brown eyes and pushing her black hair behind her ears
As I was about to honk at Keira's door I saw her already waiting for me
"If you were lesbian, you'd be rejecting me right about now" she said as she chuckled
"What a weird way to complement someone" I stated as she sat at the back of the car with Cassidy, for once my friend group had not been wearing baggy sweatpants. I almost thought it was not possible.
We're all got out of my car and into the hotel, I saw my family already waiting for us
"How'd we beat you here? We left right after you did" Kaylee said to me
"With the amount of times I had to stop I'm surprised we didn't miss it" I said
We all sat on a big table as we ordered food and most importantly a cake, when the cake arrived everyone was gathered around me, the blue cake had a candle with the number 17 on it. Everyone started singing as they looked at me, I blew the candles off my cake as everyone cheered. Once everyone was calm and in their seats I took a piece of the delicious cake in front of me. I noticed that I was once again forgotten, I looked for Keira, Luke was missing too, I walked toward the washroom as I saw the two of them making out. I sighed, I'm glad that Keira and Luke had something going on between them and to be honest I'd be predicting it, I held a small smile on my face as I walked back to the table, I took my milkshake and a straw with it
"Mom I'm goin for a walk" I said trying to get her attention, guess what she didn't hear. I tried I guess. As I walked out of the hotel my body met the cool summer winds of the beach, the moonlight made the slow waves sparkle, it seemed like there was not a single soul at the beach right now, which made this even better.. I walked around aimlessly, my boots would be full of sand later but I don't think I could care less about it. I looked at the shining waves as I walked around, I looked at the sky, the moon was surrounded by the stars, I took a sip of my not so cold milkshake as I admired the night sky then I bumped into a tall figure, I picked up my phone that was now on the sand
"I'm sorry I didn't know where I was looking" I said fixing my hair as my eyes met his, his brown hair and brown eyes were lit up by the moonlight, he was what I would consider extremely attractive
"I'm sorry too I wasn't paying attention to where I was going" he said with his incredibly attractive voice
"Uh it's fine" I said
"What brings you to the beach?" He asked
"It's my birthday and everyone's in the hotel and they just kinda forgot about me, uh what's your name though?" I asked
"I'm Noah Miller, we go to the same school, I've seen you around" he said
"You must be the new guy" I said
"My name's Noah but new guy sounds good to" he chuckled
"What's your name?" He asked
"Darcy, Darcy Jones, uh would you like to join me?" I asked
"That'd be great" he said with a smile on his face as we walked along the sand
"Why are you here at the beach all alone?" I asked him
"My little brother and some of his friends are having a sleepover while my parents are out of town, that's enough of a reason to be waking out on the beach at 9 pm" he said
"Aren't you worried they're going to set the house on fire or something?" I chuckled
"He's pretty smart for a 10 year old...I hope"
"Figures crossed you get home to a fire free house"
"How old did you turn today?" The curious boy asked
"17" I said sipping the last few sips of my milkshake
"And they just left you out on your 17th birthday?"
"Believe it or not this has happened before"
"That must suck" he said as I sighed
"I'm used to it though" I said sighing
"I'm not going to let you have a sucky 17th birthday" he said
"Right, what're you going to do, make my family pay attention to me?" I asked sarcastically
"No but we cam start with dipping our feet in the water"
"No way that's going to happen, plus I have my boots on"
"So take the boots off, come on this is fun" he said trying to please me
"Ok fine but just for a few minutes" I said as I took off my boots and socks after, he held my hand in his big hand as I stepped into the cool water, the butterflies in my stomach seemed to have drowned out the cold sensation in my feet
"See this is not that bad" he said
"You're not wrong" I said going further in the water
"Don't go too far!" He said as he tried to catch up to where I was, thankfully the tide seemed low tonight so there really wasn't any danger
"Catch me then" I said smirking as I ran toward the left
"How is this any better than the sleepover?" He asked turning toward the where I was
"You'd rather chase a 17 year old than a 10 year old, this was really your decision" I said moving toward the other side as he almost caught up with me
I felt a tap on my back, it was Noah
"Ha! I won" he said as I turned around
"No you didn't! You just distracted me" I said with a sour face as we walked out of the water
"Sour loser I see" he said as I wiped my feet off with a tissue and put my boots back on
"What's next?" I asked him
"There's a carnival right there" he said pointing to the lit up part of the beach
"Oh! That seems fun" I said
"Let's go then" he said as we walked, I know that when it was time to go home I'd get a phone call so I wasn't really worried
"Let's buy tickets to this game" I said, it was one of the dunking booths, a guy sitting right above the water with ice in it
"I can't wait to see him in the cold water" Noah said as we bought a ticket for ourselves
I aimed the ball toward the goal and I threw it, the ball hit the target and the guy fell into the water
"That was a good shot" he said impressed
"Let's see if you can top that" I said moving out of the way letting Noah throw it, he missed
"Ahah! No one tops Darcy Jones" I said
"Alright alright where next?" He asked
"I don't know you pick"
"How bout the spinning cup?" He asked hopefully
"Alright the spinning cup it is!" I said as we bought tickets to it
I sat on one side of the cup as Noah sat on the other
"This is going to be so I fun!" I said before the ride started
"I know right!" He said as the cup began to spin
It began going faster and faster as Noah and I kept laughing at each others facial reactions to the ride
"The milkshake I had earlier was a mistake!" I said as the ride began slowing down
"I might puke" he said as it finally stopped
"Same" I said as we got of the ride
"Bumper cars next?" He asked
"Yessss!"
After buying their tickets I got in a red car and Noah in a blue one, I bumped against his car as I felt the car move to shake my body, he bumped into mine and so on.
"I'm winning!" I said as I bumped his car before it was time to get off
"I let you have that one" he said as we got out of the cars
"You told me I was a sour loser but you're just as bad" I said chuckling
"I didn't say I wasn't one though" he smirked
"Whatever" I rolled my green eyes
"What should we do next?" he asked
"I don't know you pick" I said giving up
"We could go to that aim thing where we we throw rings at things to win something"
"OH that seems fun, let my answer this call first" I said as I answered the call from mum, guess my magical 17th was almost over
"Darcy where are you? We need to leave meet us at the hotel" she said
"I'd gone for a walk I'll be there in 2" I said sighing as I hung up
"I gotta go" I said sadly
"Awh," he said
I walked in closer to him and kissed his cheek
"Give me your phone" he said
I gave him my phone, I guess he was typing in his phone number
"Uh text me" he said as he handed me it back
"I will" I said as I walked away, this had to be the best birthday I've had
