"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Malena, happy birthday to you!"
I'm woken up by the sound of my family singing me happy birthday. Just like all of my birthdays.
Yes, today is the day I finally turn seventeen. I don't know why the seventeen number has always been my favorite number, just like the age. When I was a little kid I used to dream about turning seventeen, I don't know what intrigued me about this age. Perhaps the cliché movies where the girl (whose age is seventeen) and the most handsome boy of school fall in love and build a strong and beautiful relationship.
Also, I used to think that when I'll turn seventeen, everyone would think of me as an adult, in fact I remember asking my mother a bra for my seventeenth birthday.
Why did I want to grow up?
Everything is better when you're a child. You don't have responsabilities, you don't have worries, you don't even have to clean yourself up.
It's too late to become a child again, but even if being a teenager is hard, seventeen is still a nice age.
"Thank you." I say kissing my mom's cheek and then my dad's.
"Honey, you're so grown up!" I hear this sentence every single birthday. My mom always says that to me, not to my brother nor my sister but me. I guess being the youngest member of the family makes you the grownest?
"Let me take a picture. Ready? Three, two, one, cheese!" Of course my dad is a fan of the birthday pictures. I have sixteen in a photo album. He always had this dream about becoming photographer but now is just a hobbie, he's pretty good at it, except for these type of photos at six o'clock in the morning.
"I should get ready for school." I say as I get up from my bed. Today is a big day so I should prepare myself for it.
I took a quick shower and got ready as fast as I could.
I'm so hungry, I want a proper breakfast. Usually I'm not hungry in the mornings, I'd just drink a tea or a coffee, but something about today is different. I'm starving.
"Happy birthday Mal!" Noah says while eating a pancake, then he approaches me and gives me a hug.
We ate pancakes and drank chocolate milk just like the good old days.

Cameron and Violet give me two gifts, one was a box full of letters, food, clothes, pictures, etc. And the other one was a little box, which they told me to open it when I was alone.
Ethan hugged me and kissed me in the hallway, everyone saw that. I hate P.D.A couples, yet I love the fact that he did that.
"Happy birthday baby, I love you."
"I love you too, thank you. Are you coming over after school?" I ask.
"Of course. I have to give you your gift." He responds.
"Ethan, I told you three weeks ago, when you asked me, that you didn't have to get me anything."
"Did you actually thought I wouldn't get you any present? You're my girlfriend, of couse I would. I love you."
He's never this cheesy, maybe he thinks I like him this way but I don't. Don't get me wrong, I love him when he's happy, mad, sad, I love him in every way. But I don't want him to change who he is just to make me happy, because little do he knows he already makes me happy.

It was time for us to go home. Finally. I was so tired.
"Open it now! I want to know if you like it or not." Ethan insists, I wanted to open it when he wasn't here so we could spend time at being together and not at opening gifts.
I finally gave up and opened the little bag, inside there was a little box which I grabbed with my hand. This little blue box had inside another little box that said 'Pandora.'
"What?" I say looking at Ethan who has a big smile on his face.
I finally opened the other box that contained the most beautiful ring I have ever seen. I remember telling Ethan a month ago that I loved this Pandora ring. I can't believe he still remembered, and got it for me.
"Thank you so much, oh my God, why did you got it for me? I told you not to get me anything. I love you." I hug him tight.
"Because you deserve it, I love you, happy birthday Malena."
