Today is my birthday. I slowly get out of bed and go downstairs to get breakfast. ugh school. "Hey honey happy birthday!" mum said greeting me at the stairs. "happy birthday munchkin" dad said, as I passed him he ruffled my hair like a little kid. "thanks dad" I beamed He was sat at the table with his nose firmly in today's paper. "Hey mum have you got my form for today?" I asked. "Form? What form?" she quizzed. "The one. For my history trip to the history museum? The one I asked you to sign yesterday?" I was shocked it didn't take long for her to forget. "Well I've not heard about it until now so I don't know what your talking about, I don't really want you going now it's far too late. If you wanted to go you should have told me earlier!" she started to boil. I could feel it. "MUM. ITS ON. THE FRIDGE." I pointed to a piece of paper with several post-it-notes surrounding it saying 'DO NOT FORGET. SIGN NOW. GOING TOMORROW.' etc. "W-well. actually ok I'm sorry. I'll sign it now and see if they still have a place ok." I watched as she admitted defeat signing the form. I started to leave. "Oh and Kate," I turned to face her "There's something in the living room for you." I beamed and headed to the living room. There I found in a navy rectangular box, a beautiful pink dress with gorgeous bows strewn across it. I mean it's not like you've ever known me. I hate. Dresses. I hate pink more. "Do you like it Kate?" mum came in and asked. "It's. Yeah. I love it thanks mum." A fake smile dancing across my face. I checked the time on my watch. aoh shit I'm going to be late. I bundled up the dress into my backpack and grabbed the permission slip off the table. I started to run to the door, I stopped and turned "BYE MUM SEE YOU LATER!" I yelled as I opened and closed the door behind me. Shit. I opened the door again. " MUMMMMMM! CAN YOU GRAB MY AXE I HAVE DRAMA LATER AND I WANT TO GIVE THEM MY PROP" I hate having to lugg my props around with me. Mum ran to the door and handed me the axe. She kissed me on my forehead and wished me luck as I attempted to try a second round of leaving the house. I ran to the bus stop and just as I got there the bus arrived. I got onto the bus and headed to the back as I had spotted my one and only true friend. "Kate!" He exclaimed. "happy birthday to you, happy birthday to y-" I quickly clamped my hand around his mouth. "I do not need the attention right now" I told him. I felt something on my hand. "EWWWW, CARTER! DON'T LICK MY HAND GROSSSSS!" I screamed at him. I aggressively wiped the spit onto his t-shirt as he laughed uncontrollably. "Do you have your form for the trip?" He asked me. "Well I hope I do! It should be in my bag" I replied. I started to rummage around to find my scrumpled letter. "Hey what's that?" He caught a glimps of pink. "Um. My mum. She bought me a pink dress for my birthday." I told him quietly. "WHAT? Oh my god. PUT IT ON!" "Hell no Carter you know I hate pink." I reasoned. "Awe come onnnnnn. Kate I never see you in a dress. What's the harm in wearing it for one day?" "Fine." I admitted defeat at long last. I pulled out the bright pink dress. And started to pull up my shirt. "Hey! Turn your head Carter you are not peaking at these girls babes."  "Oh come on It's not like I like you like that-" I cut his sentence off with a harsh glare. "Ok message received." He turned his head away. "Carterrrr. I said no peaking. I can see you in the glass." He sighed and covered his eyes fully. I took off my shirt and swiftly pulled the dress over my head. I pulled off my trousers with my dress them and scrunched them into my bag. "Ok coast is clear." He turned around to look at me. "Wow! It's. Almost perfect." he told me. "Almost?" I asked astounded. "Yeah. The only thing its missing is this." He reached behind him and grabbed something out of a small bag. It was a necklace in the shape of a little flower. He did it up around my neck and let it go. "Now it's perfect." I was shocked. "I thought we agreed you didn't like me like that?" "I don't, turn it over." He stated. I turned over and on the back it said 'Hate you too fag.' I couldn't stop laughing. "Carter! This is why we're friends. What would I do without you perfecting my outfits." I beamed. " Ah well you see is all of your outfits will never be fully complete-AH" I stopped him and gave him a hug. "Thanks Carter."

[Time skip to being at the school trip]
"And as you see the largest mammal to exist in the modern world-" The tour guide droned on.
"Hey, Carter" I interrupted. "Mmmm" He peeled his lack of attention from the guy talking. "Wouldn't it be fun to sneak off?" "Are you kidding? Yes. This guy is sooooo boring." He drawled. "Lets go find the weaponry section!" I jumped at the thought. I took his hand and dragged us far away from the tour and towards a sign pointed at where we were headed. We stood in the weapons room and oggled at the great sight beyond us of swords, harpoons, spears, aged infront of us.
