First off I was the last to know about this surprise birthday pool party...and it was supposedly was for me. When I reached the door I was steaming pretty good. Forget about knocking I was pounding, I wanted whoever was going to answer the door to know I was not mad, but extremely mad. The next step in the mad hierarchy. The door slowly creeks open and I feel my verbal surge attack ready to let loose. My shoulders were tensed up, my eyebrows in 'V' formation, and I was wearing a grim look on my face, but before I could mutter a single word, a single adjective, or even a noise I caught her eyes.
