You're Never Just A 'Nobody'

"Avalon, what' do you want for your birthday?" Maggie asks me, as we stroll through the park outside.
Its the end of September, and my birthday is the start of October, marking my 20th birthday. I will no longer be a teenager, and having Maggie, Sinead and Kat as my friends already 20 or over, they 'demand' me to have some special celebration for it. Iv told them that I don't want anything fancy or too big, but then again I don't want anything too dull, just something casual.
But we all know Kat will order a massive cake, that Maggie would have decorated and have Sinead to pop out of it scary the living shit out of me. I can sense something like that happening.

"I don't know. What do I need?"

"Honestly? You need a lot Ava. You need some new clothes, something good to happen with your art work, a boyfriend!!"
Maggie exaggerates the last part. Maybe I do need new clothes, a lot of them are just scrubs because I paint in a lot of them, my art isn't looking up either, Mr. Ryan says that the 'top dogs' of the business aren't interested in anything of mine anymore, unless I make something spectacular.

And a boyfriend? Why do I need one of those?
Yeah okay maybe I do, I haven't had one since grade 12, 3 years ago. Honestly I haven't had my eye on anyone.

Expect Gerard, that is. His soft, hazel eyes are just memorizing. The way he smiles, just a little to the one side, is absolutely adorable. He's my best friend, such a caring and genuine person to be around, you can't help to enjoy his company.

"Yeah, thanks Maggie I love you too" I reply with a 'duh' tone and give her a twisted up look. She laughs at this and rolls her eyes. We continue walking through the park, leafs falling off of trees and chilly winds flowing amoung us. Our hands are stuffed in our matching purple coats, with leggings and black boots.
We find a bench and sit ourselves down, making small conversation. Maggie again, pops up with the birthday subject.

"Did you want to go into the city the day before and buy stuff you want? Because I'm completely brain dead on what you want."

"Yeah we can do that. Bring Kat and Sinead along too. that'd be nice. Just a girls day out. Then I can sleep through my whole birthday." I smile at the thought. That'd be great.
Maggie, though, objects.

"Nope. I'll let you sleep until 3:00pm and then we must get ready for the big ass party that will be thrown to celebrate your 20th. Deal with it." In a serious tone, that I'm the slightest bit scared over. I sigh in annoyance, to let her know she has won.

"Good girl," she continues on talking, "but back to that boyfriend thing. How's Gerard?" She looks over at me with a cheeky grin, I punch her shoulder.

"Gee is just fine. But like I said, Maggie, he's not my boyfriend, sadly." I sigh. Maggie knows how my feelings are towards him. She tells me not to get my hopes up, with the amoung of hugs and casual kisses he gives me, I constantly tell her that they mean nothing to him, he just enjoys my happiness.

"You just called him Gee for godsakes!-" I didn't even realize I did, oops, "- Who knows, he probably calls you Avs or some shit when he's talking about you!" She's practically yelling at me with the biggest smirk planted on her face now. I roll my eyes and we continue to talk, she finally drops the conversation about my birthday.

About 30 minutes later we return to our room and sit around, just spending time with eachother.

------------ *4 hours later, 2:00pm* -------------

"Eh. I'm going to go buy some food. I'll be back in a bit" I say, hoisting myself up from the couch and making my way over to the door,

"Ava, if you're planning to go fuck Gerard, just tell me. I don't mind." Maggie says, an evil smirk covering her face.

"Oh shutup" I reply back, grabbing my coat and walking out of the door.

I decide to take the long way and go through the park, past the movie theater and around a corner, as I'm not in a rush.

I slowly make my way through the park, admiring the scenery as I walk past. I hear someone shout my name, I whip my body around to see Serenity running up to me,

"Oh...? Hey Seren-" I'm cut off by her hand coming in contact with my cheek, hard.

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" I scream in pain, holding my cheek, looking at her.

"What the fuck?! How's about, why the fuck are you getting friendly, with MY Gerard?!" She screams, she looks like she's going to explode.

"What? Dude, we're just friends! We have the same classes together!" I scream back at her, earning strange looks from people walking by.

"Really? Because that's not the impression im
getting!" She comes closer to me, her face inches away from mine, her breath on my face as she talks,

"Gerard is mine. Always has been. Always will be. You're all talk. I know girls like you." She says releasing her grip on my jacket, but still up in my face.

"Not as much as I know girls like you." I push her off of me, happy with what I said to her. She stands there, completely gobsmakcked. I walk off, continuning on with my grocery shopping.
