"It's alright I'm not dangerous,

When your mine ill be generous

Your irreplaceable, a collectible

Just like fiiinnee china"

I rubbed my eyes as I woke to Chris Brown's song 'Fine China'

7:00 am

It showed on my dock.

I reluctantly got off my bed and walked over to the mirror.

"Aah!"

I almost gave myself a fright just by looking at my reflection.

I must've done some serious twisting turning last night..

Woah...

That's just sounded wrong.. Okay let's just pretend I never thought that.

Today was an important day, it was my sixteenth birthday today but we had decided on having my sweet sixteen party on Saturday night since everyone will be relaxing after the exams.

I quickly washed my face, quickly combed my hair and ran out of my room to wake up my mum and sister.

First I went to Nicole's room and stood outside the door.

*thud! thud! thud!*

I literally bashed the living daylight out of her door, but gave up since she didn't bother to open the door.

So I rushed inside and jumped on her bed while singing "happy birthday to me!"

She groaned pushing me off the bed which sent me crashing to the ground in a mess with her quilt and bedspread.

"Aw why'd you take the blanket with you? You do realize that even though it's summer, today is a very cold day?" She questioned me half asleep.

"And you do realize that you should care about your little sisters birthday more than what the temperature will be like today?"

I answered her question with a question. Gotta love doing that, it annoys her so much.

"Happy sixteenth birthday loser!"

She almost tried to yell out which instead turned out to be a shrill cry, because of her sleepy morning voice.

"Thank you very much dope head!"

"Your welcome now go and annoy mum, I'm still got a few hours to sleep."

"Nineteen year olds these days" I said rolling my eyes.

"Go awaaayyy.." Nicole whined.

"As you wish." I said closing her bedroom door behind me and walking towards mums bedroom.

*thud! thud! thud!*

Same treatment goes for all!

I ran in and pretty much did exactly what I'd done to Nicole except this time to my mum.

"Wake up wake up wake upp!!!" I yelled still jumping.

"I'm awake!" My mum said startled quickly sitting up and rubbing her eyes just like how I had done.

"Happy birthday!" My mum wished me putting on her fake smile.

"Thank you mum!" I said hugging her.

"I'll make you your favourite breakfast today and after school lets go to the mall to do some birthday shopping, okay?"

"Sounds good!" I said as I got off her bed and went to my bathroom to get ready for school. Mum was in an alright mood today. Which is rare.... Very rare. She had been suffering from depression for the last three years that had gone by so fast. I felt sorry for her, but she needed to stay strong for Nicole.

I had a quick wash and brushed my teeth.

I got into my high waisted jeans, black long sleeve with a maroon coloured scarf and on my feet I wore black vans.

Since it was my birthday I decided I would curl my hair.

my outfit was done so I grabbed my Bag and headed downstairs to see my mum had made her delicious pancakes with whipped cream and raspberry sauce.

I had a feeling today was gonna be great day, it started off awesome lets just hope it ends even better!

Sorry this chapter was so short.

So I really enjoyed writing this chapter, I think my sweet chilli grain waves definitely gave me some inspiration.

As my maths teacher woulda say.. It was some awesome "brainfood"
