I groaned as I turned off my alarm. I rubbed my eyes and slowly got off bed. I looked at my phone and saw the date. With a curse leaving my lips, I quickly got ready and headed downstairs to have breakfast. How could I forget? It was my best friend’s birthday today. A week before mine. “Mom! Why didn’t you wake me up sooner?” I asked, making myself breakfast. She looked away from the newspaper that she was reading, “I didn’t know honey. I’m sorry” she said. I sighed and continued to eat. “What were you planning to do anyway?” mom asked, putting the paper down. “I have to buy a gift for Anne. It’s her birthday today” I said in between bites. My mom rolled her eyes at me. I know, some best friend I am. She sighed, “So where are you planning to buy the gift and what are you getting her?” I shrugged, “I’m going to Allen’s jewelry store. I know she loves accessories” I said. Her eyes widened, “Wait. You mean that shop down the street?” she asked. I frowned and looked at her. “Yes. Why?” I asked her curiously. A smile broke on her face and her eyes shined brightly. “Oh nothing. You go and have fun.” she said. She gave me a smirk and walked towards the bedroom. That was weird. I shook my head, grabbed my wallet and headed to the store.
