CIARA MARIE-B-Day Blues

"Thanks for coming over guys."

"No prob," Elayne said as they sat on Ciara's bed in her room, with a bucket of ice cream between them, each with big spoons.

"So, tell me why we are having a pit party?" Chrissy asked.

"Boys are dumb!" Ciara said as she stuffed a spoonful of ice cream in her mouth.

"Here here!" Elayne said lifting her spoon.

"No! Not all," Chrissy stated. "Not my X."

"Even the guys you think are great can be stupid." Ciara stuffed more ice cream in her mouth.

"Wait, what? Are you talking about Tony?" Elayne asked.

"Who else!"

"Did you two break up?" Chrissy asked.

"No, but maybe we should."

"What happened?" Chrissy hammered her with another question.

"He didn't even say or do anything for my birthday!" Ciara whined.

"When was your birthday?" Chrissy asked.

"Today!" she whined, lying facedown on the bed.

Chrissy and Elayne looked at each other.

"Huh?" Chrissy said.

"You didn't tell us, skank!" Elayne hit her with a pillow.

Ciara sat up. "I didn't?"

"No!" they both said.

"Oh," she said with a smile. Now she felt embarrassed. Not having friends before a few weeks ago she expected them to know. Even if she never told them.

"So did you tell Tony?" Chrissy asked.

Again, she expected him to know. "Uh...I don't remember."

Elayne threw up her hands. "So how can you be mad at him if you didn't even tell him? Tony is not that kind of guy, he would have said something."

"I thought I told him...and I didn't want to nag him about it-"

"Nag away!" Elayne pushed her phone toward her. "Call him."

"No."

"Call him!" Elayne barked at her.

Ciara would not take the phone.

"Ok, fine," Elayne touched Ciara's phone screen. "Let me get cuzzo."

"What am I supposed to tell him now?" Ciara looked at the phone.

"Figure it out."

Ciara grabbed the phone when she heard Tony say hello. "Hey."

"What's up CiCi?"

Ciara bit her lip and looked at her friends. "Do you know what today is?"

"Uh...Friday?"

"No! It's a special day!"

"Uh...thank God it's Friday?"

Ciara blew out a heavy sigh. "It's my birthday!"

"Since when?"

"Since eighteen years ago when I was born," Ciara said. "I told you-"

"CiCi, if you told me, I would have remembered, written it down, carved it in stone."

"Well, I thought I did."

Elayne grabbed the phone from her. "I told her!"

"Who's that?"
