On her way she met her Claire , her seatmate . Claire was the the only girl Iris talk to . Though iris is a popular girl in her school and everyone wanted to be friend with her but because of her reserved nature she don't like to talk to someone. Claire was her only mate in her school . Claire was dark skinned yet pretty girl with grey eyes and straight thick black hair. She loves debating and dancing and wanted to become a dancer in future. Claire was a supportive , confident ,good hearted , soft but rude girl who makes friends easily but only close to some people .
Sometimes when Iris get filled too much with negativity , Claire always support her . Although she never know the reason of her negativity but still she help in all ways to make her smile . Iris feel comfortable with Claire so she spend most of her time with Claire .
When Iris went to her class and saw that her friend, Claire, had organized a surprise birthday party just for her! The classroom was decorated with colorful balloons and streamers, and everyone shouted "Happy Birthday!" as Iris walked in, her eyes wide with surprise and joy. Tears of happiness welled up in her eyes as she hugged Claire tightly, feeling overwhelmed with love and gratitude. This unexpected gesture made Iris realize how lucky she was to have such caring friend. This was after such long time she was feeling happy .
Her parents get so busy in their work that they forget her birthday almost every year. She never expected anything from her parents . They can just give money to her but not bliss. Only her little brother Chris wish her on birthdays and make cards for her.

Iris was overwhelmed after seeing all this .Claire bought her favourite blueberry cake (she was the only one who knows about her favourites and remembers everything she say). Whole class sing 'Happy birthday ' song . Cake was cut and distributed to whole class along with their class teacher , Miss. Bell Parker. She also loves Iris so much. She was her favourite student. Claire gifted Iris a diary and told her to write everything she is holding inside her. This was the best gift she ever received. Yeah it was simple but too much meaningful for her. Everyone bought flowers for Iris . Her class teacher , Miss bell gave her a set of fancy notebooks . Iris was so happy that day . That was the first time she felt that she have people she can call hers who loves her.
