School is finally over for the day and I can finally can go home and celebrate my birthday. I'm turning 8 years old today and my Mama is going to take me to my favorite restaurant and get ice cream.

I Was exiting the school and saw my mom waiting for me, I ran up to her and jumped onto her arms. " Hola mama " I smile up at her and she smiles back " Hola niña, how was school?" "Boring, can we go now please." I groaned, and was very anxious and excited. "Ok, baby let's go" my Mom chuckled, as we were leaving and getting into the car.
We were talking about how much fun we were going to have today, then suddenly one of my favorite songs came on "omg Mama it's Lady Gaga, turn it up please" I asked jumping up and down in my seat. My Mom laughed nodding her head and turned it up, to which I start dancing and singing.
" stop callin' Stop callin' I don't want to think anymore I left my head and my heart on the dance floor."

We made it to the restaurant and sat at a booth, where a waitress took our orders. " Hello what can I get for you to drink this evening?" " I'll have a lemon with water" Mom said. " I'll have a sweet tea" I said
"ok be back in a few" and she left. As I was looking at my menu I kept on feeling a pair of eyes on me, so I glance around the room to see, but found nothing so I shrugged it off. "You ok mija" my mom asked concern. "Huh? Oh! I'm ok." I said with a smile and looked back at my menu.
The whole time we were at the restaurant I still kept on feeling like I was being watched. I wanted to tell Mama , but I didn't want to worry her so I didn't tell her. I also notice Mama kept on checking her phone every five minutes. "Mama lo que esta mal?" ( mom what's wrong?) "Oh! Nada, carino solo funciona." ( oh nothing sweetheart, just work.)
