Misunderstood Part 36 (remember to re-number!)
Jared breathed a sigh of relief to find out that he and Jamie were not half siblings, he couldn't find it in himself to stay away from Jamie but was mildly grossed out to be so attracted to his half sister. All was right with the world now and he could kiss Jamie without any nagging guilt in the back of his mind.

Secretly Jamie had liked the thought of doing something naughty with her half brother, she was discovering she had a bit of a bad girls streak within her.
"I can't wait for my Birthday..I'm going to give you a great Birthday gift..." Jamie teased..

"But it's your Birthday, shouldn't I be giving you a gift?"

"You'll love what I have planned..." she slyly grinned at him...Jared slowly caught on, a smile spreading on his lips as understand flooded his brain.

The Birthday party was the next night, Jamie, Connor, Belle and Thornton were all aging up and decided to have a big group party to celebrate.
Paulo invited Pearl who had been seeing since the night of their aging up, Jared wasn't thrilled about her being invited but the two had pretty much ignored each other since their break up, so everything was civil.
Paulo and Jared bonded over drinks earlier in the day...

Pearl seemed to make Paulo happy so Jared kept his yap shut and let his older brother have his happiness. Paulo had never said anything bad about Jared dating Jamie so he could return the favor.

Jamie was one of the first guests to arrive, she was a bit early and Jared was still in the shower, Connor never really liked her but tried to make small talk until Jared came downstairs..

He asked Jamie what she was planning for after High School. Jamie was more than happy to talk about how she had been accepted into medical school and would be leaving in a few months.

Jamie was curious as to what Connor would be doing after graduation...
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4891/46094309411_87ae955438_c.jpg
He told her he had always wanted to be a writer and was looking into a job in Journalism, he hoped to get a job nearby as he loved the area and wanted to stay close by.

Belle, Connor's girlfriend arrived shortly thereafter...

By then Jared had come downstairs and the party was getting going...

The other guests arrived and Thornton was the first to age up..

Don't judge me Paulo, I had nothing to do with the seating...(not sure he approves of Jamie sitting with Thornton).

Connor's turn!

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4829/46094301141_a6892c737a_c.jpg
"I'm Batman!!" LOL!!… *sorry* :D
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4845/46094298631_3b96aa5166_c.jpg
Belle was next...
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4831/45182523035_bbb25252f6_c.jpg
Wonder what she wished for...

Vampire Birthdays are interesting...bats fly around them (I missed the picture)..

Connor looks a bit freaked to see his newly aged up girlfriend..
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4843/46094293821_37d0eba49e_c.jpg
"Getting so sick of CAKE!!"
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4819/46094304481_fc7523b975_c.jpg
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4859/46094291141_2caebea6e1_c.jpg
"NO more cake please!!" Paulo screamed...
Jared put in his no more cake vote by almost throwing up...
Jamie looked like she could deal with one more slice.
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4884/46094289621_c69c4296bb_c.jpg
Jamie was the last to age up...
"Ready for another slice Connor??" Jamie giggled...
"Nooooooo!!!" was his response..
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4908/46094282521_28136f9a87_c.jpg
Jared is notorious for pointing and laughing during Birthdays but he clapped and behaved himself for Jamie's aging up. (Xander did the pointing and laughing).

More cake...

Connor and Jared ate together..

Jamie and Thornton...
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4891/46044112672_7a859582eb_c.jpg
Jared invited Jamie up to his room as all the other guests were leaving, he was eager to see if his guess about what Jamie was going to do tonight was correct.

on the way they fed Jared's fish..

Thornton thought he was over Jamie but seeing her with Jared was making his blood boil with jealousy...
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4902/46094266901_739549aced_c.jpg
They had a nice brief discussion about the future, Jared was happy Jamie was happy about going away to school but he knew he would miss her deeply. They still had three months until she left, they decided to make every moment count.

"Happy Birthday to me!" Jamie giggled..Jared silently agreed that was the best Birthday gift ever...he had a hard time keeping the grin off his face.

Meanwhile....
Connor was suddenly very shy around Belle...

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4861/46094266311_6c73be2c69_c.jpg
Connor was paying more attention to Ginger than to Belle.
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4884/46094265891_3b012978f2_c.jpg
Belle couldn't understand what was going on..
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4840/46094265411_45fdf9b365_c.jpg
She told Connor she was tired and got up to leave...Connor replied with a curt "See ya.."
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4918/46094264771_beb5a4bc09_c.jpg
Ginger was polite and waved goodbye to Belle... :wink:
