I wake up smelling pancakes yum I get up and put my fuzzy socks on and stretch and then it hits me its my birthday "happy birthday me" i say to myself in a raspy not so caring voice.

I walk downstairs and see mom and dad in the kitchen moms cooking and dad is on the computer "good morning birthday girl how do you feel " the same "totally different I feel older and free" I lied only so she doesn't ride my case of why I feel the same even tho I'm 18 now " happy birthday wommie give me a hug" my dad said to me "ah dad come on I'm 18" I said as he suffocated me into is normal dad hugs "your still my little girl" I looked at him and smiled then my mom said "well you should go up and get ready because I have an surprise" I looked at her like I was going to shit my pants because I was so exicited "you mean the surprise I've been waiting for my whole life?" I asked looking like a  kid who just got a lollipop "yup" she said with a smile.
  I went upstairs and went to my room. I was looking at my brown long curly hair in the mirror thinking maybe I should straighten it since it's supposed to be a surprise. I then looked at my whole face thinking how not so bad looking I was I mean I don't like to tut my own horn but I'm not that bad I guess you could say I looked like jhene aiko but curly hair  well at least I like to say. 'Beep beep' I turned to see that I had a text from Stephanie

To: jalia❤️

To: steph😎

Thanks ❤️ and its cool and totally I'm supposed to be doing something with mom dukes later but after yea it's my 18th and I'm tryna get lit 😊

I was waiting for my text back from steph but I guess she was doing something so I went into my closet and tried to find something to wear and came across to my old well Stephs old pink shirt a smile came across my face thinking of what happened when she gave me that shirt
'It was a Friday  so everyone was going to the mall I was planning on going with steph if she wasn't busy I mean she was like the only person I was close with. I asked her n she said cool so I picked her up n headed to the mall when we got thier the first store we hit up was of course forever 21. Me n steph were practically the same kind of person so we liked almost all of the same things it was then when I noticed it because we both picked up the same shirt we looked at each other thinking who's gonna win this fight ? Well of course it'll be me I thought so I snatched it from her and then out of nowhere me n steph are rolling around on the ground fighting over a pink shirt then some lady comes up to us saying how we had to leave the store and all I could do was look at steph and laugh because her hair looked a mess because I love pulling hair  and then steph looked at me n started laughing then I went to the mirror and looked at myself and man did she get me good my hair looked like a squirrel could live in thier and my earring was on the floor then I started laughing at myself the lady told us we had to leave so I gave her the money for the now wrinkled shirt and surprisingly she let me buy the shirt we left the store and now I own the shirt because steph said it wasn't that big of a deal she just doesn't want to admit that I won soar loser cant get mad that I always win nothing new.'

Good times I tell u but enough of that I take out the shirt and look for some jeans and decide for some light jeans with rips in them I then go back in the bathroom to do my makeup nothing big just mascara and a wing of eyeliner and light pink lipstick I'm not much for the cake face thing.

I put on some converses and head downstairs to see my mother on her phone doing who knows what waiting for me "ready" i say with a bright smile "okay Mrs happy pants leggo as the kids say these days" what kid says that and in what world was it ok for you to say that "umm no kid says that and I'm not even that happy as u say" she then opens the front door and walks out the house saying  "yea ok kid"
