Speaking of a surprise

September 26, 201510 yr

Yesterday was my 18th birthday, I had college from 8.30 until 17.30 and was told to hurry to catch my train since I would go eating with my mum a few hours later in a pretty expensive restaurant.
Before we were about to leave, someone called our house phone. I heard my mum saying "So we have to eat elsewhere? And where? Oh close to that church, right?" but I saw through her and thought she was lying but then I heard a voice saying "I'm very sorry, thank you for understanding!" so I thought it had to be true.
My mother told me that the cook had cut his hand and is in the hospital and that all the reservations had been transferred to anothe restaurant.

And off we go, heading to that other restaurant.
We pass by a pizzaria we go to a lot and my mum enters, and so do I , confused ofcourse.

At first I thought she'd say hello to the guy working there, as we know him pretty personal, but that wasn't the case.
I'm like "mum this is not the restaurant you said we were going to. I'm not in the mood for eating pizza lol".

And she's like " All your friends are coming as a surprise"

I'm like " you're kidding lol" . After 5 minutes of "what the?" and "i swear if you're joking I'll......." she explained everything.
My mum and my dad arranged along with one of my best friends this whole evening.
Friends would come and eat pizza with me and drink, then she had bought 45 drinks at a popular pub nearby for all my friends to drink and enjoy the night.

I couldn't believe it at first and was constantly smiling.
At 8 pm, 9 good friends entered the pizzaria and I was over the moon. It was really one of those "surprise parties you see in movies/series" because I really didn't have a clue at all!

When my friends were there, my mother left and we had a wonderful time, afterwards we went to that pub and drank, had laughs and chats.
Afterwards my mother picked me up and I had the best 18th birthday ever.

tl;dr: had a surprise party for my 18th birthday, really didn't have a clue, i'm happy
