Dad said "Oh, one more surprise." I asked "Another test?" Dad replied "No, but I'm sure you'll like it."
Someone came out of the Den and I recognize him as Brian Mason, my best friend from Yale. "Happy Birthday Josh,
you have a nice place. Thanks for inviting me Mr. Franklin." Dad said "No problem Brian, my son talked about
you that's why I invited you. Now everyone to the pool area and we'll celebrate Joshua's birthday."
Everyone goes to the backyard where tables and chairs are setup I walk next to Brian he says "How does it feel
to be 18?" I answered "Quite different, listen Brian. I'm going trhough changes latly so what happens tonight,
I will never do anything to harm you so please don't be afraid." Brian said "Your father told me everything,
don't worry I will not tell anyone about your family secret. Besides It's not everyday I get to hang with
werewolves." I said "Thanks buddy."
It was a barbecue dinner and everyone had a choice with either steak or ribs with corn on the side, afterwards
we celebrated with a big birthday cake and Aunt Juliett's idea was a howling wolf. Everyone thought it was
immaginative. everyone socialized until moonrise.
