Friday, March 4th, 2005. After school. "Cami!!" Sean tackled me from behind me, and hugged me tightly. I jumped, startled. My friends didn't really like that sight. I don't understand why everyone still thinks it's creppy that I like Sean and Sean likes me. Is there anything wrong with that? No, there isn't. We all were sitting in my living room. The adults were in my mom's room. It was my birthday, so we were just talking. "Um, Cami... what are we doing tonight again?" Ashley asked me. A few people nodded, which told me that they wanted to know, too. "Well, we'll be havin' a sleepover as-" I was cut off by Sean. "I get to sleep with Cami!!" He yelled in and hugged me. "Ewww...!!" Most of the kids went. I coughed, to get everybody's attention. "We'll see about that Sean. Now, as I was saying..." I looked at Sean real quick, then looked back at everyone, "We'll have a sleepover tonight. Tomorrow,, or whenever you're ready, we'll call our parents to come and pick you guys up. Some kids will be able to walk home. Some kids we'll take home... we, as in, my parents." I laughed. "Who can walk home?" Ryan, the only fifth grader at my sleepover/birthday party, asked. I pointed at Ryan and Shane. "Since we're all in the same neribhood." I knocked on my mom's door. I heard someone say "come in!". With that, I offered myself inside. "I need to do a few things online, if... um, that's okay." I stated. "Go right ahead, birthday girl." My mom smiled. I just grinned and walked over to the computer. I opened up my e-mail box and checked. One e-mail was from my friend in Tennesse, Seto. Hey Cami. Just wanted to say happy birthday to you.lol From, Seto I smiled at that one. I openned the one from my friend in Holland, Nariku. Hi, Cami!! happy 12th birthday!! Love, Nariku That one made me giggle. I read a few more birthday e-mails. Looking through, I saw a message the seemed important. "Hm... what's this?" I whispered. I openned it. Waiting for it to load, Sean, Matthew, Billy, Ryan, Indiana, and Dustin walked into the room. I didn't even seem 'em. I read it to myself. Dear Cami Konrii(it's really my japanese last name), Happy 12th birthday! I'm sure you'll be getting alot of presents for this speical birthday. But, I bet none will be as great as the one I'll be giving you. How would you and your friends like to start a Pokemon Journey in Hoenn? I bet you will like that! Just reply if you're interrested. Best wishes, Professor Berch. I was shocked. ~How... how did he know it was my 12th birthday...?! And, how did he know my name and e-mail address?! Ah, well... that doesn't matter...!!~ I turned around and... "Gaaahhh!!!" I screamed as I saw my friends standing right there. I flew back in the chair and, when I was coming foreward, I almost fell out. They all started to laugh. This got me upset. "Stop laughing!!" I shouted. Luckily, they've known me long enough, so they know that when I'm upset, they need to stop. Ryan began to read my e-mail from Professor Berch while I talked to the rest. I glanced back at Ryan every few seconds. I could tell he was interested in it. "Oh, cool!!" Ryan grinned. This made everyone read the e-mail. While everyone was gathered around, reading my e-mail, I could only think of one thing... ~Am I going to have take all of these guys with?~ End Chapter 1 What do you think? Pretty cool, huh? Please review!!
