It is a new day and my sister, Isabel is coming home. I love my sister, when she is home we are like the dynamic duo. If something happens between mom and I, Isa will step in and protect me. My mom and I never had the best relationship for as long as I can remember. I do not have school so I am going to sleep in a little bit but first let me scroll through Instagram. I follow this amazing band, they are called StarStrings. The lead singer of the band is Milo Greens. They are hosting a concert here in Miami, Florida. I really want to go but I can't because my mom won't let me. I'm going to nap a little bit.
An hour later I begin to wake up to the sound of my sisters voice. She is talking to our parents about her time at UCLA. She wants to become a neurosurgeon. My mom praises her. Isa was always the perfect daughter. Straight A's, cheerleader, Prom Queen, can drive. She is everything I'm not. I begin to close my eyes but the Isa kicks my door open and tackles me. "Wake up, muffin! I'm home" she says as she is screaming in my face. I turn over and say "Yea I can see that." I breathe in her face with my morning breath. "Damn it Ali, go get ready for the day. I'm taking you out for your birthday." Says Isa. I get out of bed and begin to get ready.
I just have leggings and a hoodie on then I put on my sneakers. I'm already downstairs and I'm looking for Isa. She is outside. I grab a toast and I kiss my dad goodbye because he is still sleeping. "Bye mom! Bye Hunter! Bye dad!" I scream from the car. "Okay happy birthday!" Says Hunter. But not a single peep from my mom. "So, where are we going?" I ask Isa. "We are going to go shopping and then after dinner with the family, I have a surprise for you." Says Isa. She looks all suspicious. I wonder what it is. We get to the mall and Isa begins to pick out all of these clothes for and they are all cute but I am too insecure to wear them. "Dude, you got me like 10 clothes and I didn't even get to choose." I say to Isa as she is already paying. "Don't worry about it. You will look cute in all of them cause I chose them" she says. We head back home for dinner.
We get in the house and I put my clothes in my room. I go down stairs and there is chicken pasta and my favorite cake. We begin to eat and my mom is just talking Isa and dad is talking to me. Hunter is watching YouTube. Isa turns to me and says "Okay, enough chitchat. Let's get to the cake and presents!" Mom lights the cake and they sing happy birthday. Afterwards, dad hands me a gift. I open it an it's a microphone. "Dad I have been wanting one. How did you know?" I say to my dad as I am tearing up a little bit. "I just knew. I'm glad you like it, honey." Says my dad. I give him a big hug and then Isabel hands me hers. It is an envelope. Inside was tickets to see StarStrings! They are playing tonight at 8! "Omg, Isa! Shut up. How- when-. This is amazing! I can bring dad's portable microphone with me to the concert and it will be so fun! Thank you thank you!" I say to Isa. My mom looks upset but I don't say anything. I go get ready upstairs.
