MIRA
"Are you ready honey?" My mom stops in the doorway and folds her arms. I take one last look in the mirror and nod.
We are going out to the movies. Nothing special, then going to see my family. Honestly, I'm not looking forward to it at all. After my attempt last year, everyone went crazy and it was all about me for a few months. My grandparents came over everyday and I got gifts and things from the family members I didn't even talk to. Turns out I even have a cousin that is thirteen. Never met her.
I don't like it when the attention is on me. It's scary and people ask you questions that I cant answer. And, being my birthday, everyone is going to be so happy that I lived another year, that I'm here with them in this moment and that I'm healthy (far from it) and well.
Maybe I will be able to go hide and talk to W. I wish I knew what his real name was.
Me and my mom walk down the stairs together and get into the car. It takes about ten minutes to get to theater, where I get to choose the movie, seat, and snacks. I wish my mom would act like a mother and not a friend sometimes.
The movie was boring. And I'm not just saying this because Will Rivers wasn't in it. Ugh, never again. Note to self: Will must be in every movie seen.
"Alright, shall we go to grandmas?" Mom asks.
"Id rather not." I groan.
"Oh, she loves you." She teases. "Come on." We get in the car and my phone vibrates, but my mom hates when I'm on the phone in the car. I have to check it later. I hope it's W.
When we pull up to Grandmas, I'm all but asleep and have to wake myself up a little before going in. If I walk in looking sick no doubt she will make mom take me to the doctors or something.
It's funny how she didn't care about my well being until after I was close to death.
No one was really here for my "party" yet so I had time to myself.
W: Hey babe
Me: Hey (:
W: happy birthday, again
Me: ugh stop
W: never
M: please? Oh god that gonna be the only thing I hear for a few hours
W: oh you poor thing
Me: exactly
W: Family can't be that bad
Me: you don't know my family.
W: touché
W: my family always goes overboard too
Me: well, we can suffered together.
W: alright (: go with your family, M. And take care of yourself.
Me: you act like we will never talk again but okay. Bye W.
Me:...
Me: I want your real name.
W: ..
Me: I'll tell you mine.
W: Depends on if yours goes cute with mine (;
Me: already thinking of ship names?
W: you know it
Me: It's Mira. It kind if sounds like mirror. Most people say Myra but is Mira.
W: what a beautiful name <3
Me: yours?
W: William
Me: OMG
Me: you have the same name as will rivers. Very cool very swag very handsome I like it
W: alright alright XD go hang out with your family! I'll ttyl I promise.
Me: okay... Bye Will.
I stared at my phone for at least ten minutes after that. Do I change his name? I typed it into his contact but I couldn't save it. It just didn't feel right. So, therefore, he will continue to be W. Just how I like it.
