Hating Emilia

10

-Emilia Diaz-

I smile walking into school, usually I dread going to school sometimes but it's my birthday, and I'm turning eighteen, which means I finally get my piercing

My friends aren't at my locker like usual, I grab my books that I'll need and go to class. Unfortunately Eliana is sick today which is why she's not here

She texted me this morning a happy birthday text, and then a text saying 'I'm sick so Goodmorning and now goodnight'

I walk to English early and see Hannah is sitting by my desk for a bit talking to someone, it still kinda sucks sitting in the front of the room

"What's got you so smiley?" Hannah asks, I smile "just am." I'm sure she knows why.

When Mr.Delaney walks in Hannah goes to her assigned seat, Ethan is there yet, but then I remember last night.

I shake my thoughts away and pay attention to what he says

˚ʚ♡ɞ˚

The class goes on and Hannah hasn't said anything, actually none of my friends have said anything to me yet, maybe their just waiting until we see each other to say something to me, yeah, that's what it is

˚ʚ♡ɞ˚

It was lunch time now, I told my friends I'd meet up with them at our table since I had to put some books in my locker, when I open my locker I notice a note and a bag placed in.

'Happy birthday Emilia.'

I smile reading the note, but frowned when there was no name saying who it's from, assuming it's one of my friends that got it for me

I look through the bag and see candy in there, animal crackers, a CD for Melanie Martinez I smile noticing that a Celsius is in the bag too, still no name though, weird.

I take the Celsius out and drink it since I practically had nothing to drink today, I put the note in the bag and close my locker

I walk towards the lunchroom and my friends give me a strange look when they see the bag in my hand "what's with the bag." Aria asks, I stare in confusion "didn't one of you guys get me this?" I ask.

"For what."

My eyes widened, they forgot.

They forgot my birthday.

"Don't worry about it, um- I have work I need to finish so..yeah." I trail off getting up from the table trying to hold back my tears.

I rush to the bathroom and lock the stall, I can't believe they forgot- I've been talking about my birthday for awhile now-

Maybe it was an accident. Again? Maybe they're just messing with me. This is the second time they forgot.

I feel the tears fall down my face, I stare at the bag with my name on it and shove it into my bag.

I grip my hair, or practically old myself as i breakdown, thankfully I've learned from my mistake to bring makeup with me to school now

The bell rings letting me know lunch is over. Yet I don't move. I stay right where I am. Planning to stay here until the final bell.

-Ethan Hernandez-

I saw her rush out of the lunchroom, I saw the confused look her 'friends' had.

I couldn't help myself but to walk up to them Alex giving me a look when I get up "seriously. Again." I grit towards them they all give confused looks "what are you talking about Ethan?" Aria asks.
