As you lay on your bed, you go through the list of people you've had conversations with, knowing that none of them knew it was your birthday. You considered them your friends, at least up until now. Your parents had been working since really early today so you hadn't had a chance to see them yet, at least they will remember your birthday.
You decided to get up and do some homework, when you opened your book a piece of paper loosened from between the pages, you grabbed it and it had something written on it,
'Happy Birthday _____, you don't really know me but I know it's your birthday. From B48'
B48? You thought, how did this get in here? And who is this from! Just then you got a text from your best friend Kayla, she wasn't in school today,

From: Kaylaa
hey! Happy birthday! Can I come over!

I texted back right away,

To: Kayla
Hey! Thanks! Yeah sure! Hurry, I'm bored!

I put my phone down and right away there was a knock on the front door, she was waiting at my door? I laugh as I bound down the stairs to the door and swing it open,

To my surprise, it's not Kayla it's a delivery man?
"Oh, hello!" I smiled at him, he had his cap on and he had his head down not looking up he handed me the package and some flowers,
"Here you go, can you sign here please, and also write your number in case there is something wrong with your delivery,"

I grabbed them and walked inside to put them on the table before coming back and signing for them, I put my number down too even though I'd never been asked that before, but I was just excited to see what it was, he looked up just enough for me to see his mouth, he was smiling. And that made me smile too.

"Have a nice day! Thank you!" I smiled waving as I started to shut the door, he stopped it with his hand.
I froze not knowing what to do, he didn't look up but he stood up straighter,
"I know you don't know me, but happy birthday." He said and then he turned and left. So I closed the door quickly.
How did he know it was my birthday? I had started going towards the deliveries when I saw a card that said happy birthday on the front sitting amongst the flowers, that's how he knew! I felt relief rush over me.

I opened the card as I walked over to the sink to grab a vase, it read
"Happy birthday! I hope you like pink roses? I've had a crush on you for a while. Sorry for being creepy like this, from B48"
B48 again who is this person? I know I'm supposed to think it's creepy for some random person to know where I live and know my birthday but to me that just shows that they care, and that they take notice of things like my birthday. Who knows maybe they live near me, and that's why they know my address? I think it's really sweet.
I put the flowers in the vase and took everything up to my room, sitting the flowers on my desk next to the window. I sat down and started opening the package, maybe it's from B48 too?

Opening it revealed some delicious looking cupcakes, chocolate ones! But they were from Kayla not B48, then there was another knock at my door I ran down wondering who it could be.

"Kayla!" I said loudly, giving her a big hug,

"Happy birthday!" She smiled! "I have some very very very big news!" But now she looked sad, she continued "it's not good news though," she took my hands, looking into my eyes, why did it feel like this was the last time I would see her?
"I'm moving to Canada. I know I'm telling you on your birthday but, I only found out today and had to start packing. we are leaving tomorrow." She was looking at her feet biting her bottom lip.
"Its okay. you'll have fun over there!" I said as I let go of her hands and wrapped my arms around her, holding her tight. I started to cry.
"Can we take a photo? You know I keep a pin board of them.. And this might be the last one.." I trailed off.
"Yes of course quickly though, my parents are waiting outside for me." she was crying too, so much that she was out of breath. just like I was, I walked over to the table and got my Polaroid camera.

"Smile!" I say sadly as I hold the camera in front of us, I took three photos because this was a big moment.
Click, click, click.
They were on the table developing,
"I'll miss you so much!" We said at the same time, as we embraced for what felt like ten minutes. I waved as she drove away. Tears hitting the floor as I went up to my room to put the photos on my wall.
