Four voices chanted in unison, "Happy birthday Ari!"

You took the little box wrapped in silver paper and a red ribbon with a smile. You're the youngest of your group of friends, just turning eighteen today. You know what's in the box; all of them know, since you'd all arranged it when Maureen turned eighteen three months ago.

Maureen is the oldest of your friends, and at just over six feet the tallest. She has brown bobbed hair with straight bangs, medium skin, and a slim athletic build that screams basketball player, which she is. She's wearing her usual bright pink with gold lamay tennis shorts and a white tank top that ends just above her navel. Maureen doesn't "do" makeup, but her skin is smooth enough and her lips pink enough to get by without.

Next comes Olivia, a couple of weeks younger than Maureen. Her black frizzy hair falls just past her shoulders and nicely offsets her light chocolate skin. She's also an athlete; everyone else in school has been watching her shapely ass in the quarter-mile run for the last two years. She likes to race boys and the boys like to race with her, even though none of them has a hope of catching her. She's wearing an amber sun dress that comes down to her knees and up just above her moderately-sized breasts.

The middle girl is Jess, short for Jezebel, whose birthday was the day after Olivia's. Where Maureen is slim, Jess is almost skeletal; her skin is milky pale and she wears her silvery-white hair short, with sunglasses usually covering her pink eyes. Some of the boys call her the Vampire because of her preference for near-black lipstick. She isn't athletic, though by no means is she clumsy, and she's known mainly for her total understanding of everything academic. She could pass for a boy, and frequently does; today she's dressed in a neatly-pressed charcoal men's business suit with a white shirt and a blue paisley tie.

Blonde Tianna is second-youngest, her birthday being four weeks after Jessie's and three weeks before yours. She's a moderately musclebound blonde Aryan with a bust that requires advanced engineering to support. Tianna is the most into make-up, though a casual viewer would never guess because she's so good at coordinating it. Her favourite sports are pole vaulting and co-ed volleyball; in the latter the other girls tried to have her banned on a couple of occasions for distracting the boys. Tianna is wearing deliberately worn blue jeans and a reinforced black halter top slash sports bra that covers and supported her breasts.

You, Ariana, a.k.a. Ari, are an olive-skinned girl with dark eyes and shiny raven-black hair that goes midway down your back. Your long-legged body is athletic but built more for dancing than sports, and you use it to its fullest as a member of the high school's cheerleading squad. Your trademark move is a jump-split that ends with her feet supported straight out to her sides on the shoulders of a couple of the other squad members. You're in a mid-thigh pleated yellow skirt and a white sweater vest with the school's wildcat logo in bright yellow; it's sort of like your cheerleading uniform, except that you've foregone the blouse under the sweater and your bra as well. Your C-cups stand well enough on their own, and you like the way the coarse acrylic of the sweater tickles your nipples.

You carefully untie the ribbon and open the box, revealing the five platinum rings inside. Each has five tiny stones set in a circle: emerald, sapphire, ruby, diamond, and amethyst, and each is sized for one of the girls.

"Gamo!" you exclaim; you've taken to swearing in Greek except when your parents are around, "They're gorgeous!"

The other girls admire the rings; prior to this Jess was the only one who'd seen them, which is fitting since the albino girl had paid for them. She joined in the cooing anyway. After that were hugs all around; Jess motorboats in Tianna's chest, which causes the whole group to dissolve into giggles.
