Swapping bodies with Perrie Edwards

Birthday Wishes

STACY'S POV

"Wake up sugar pie! It's your birthday!", my mom yelled from my door.

"Please please go away". I said , pulling the pillow over my head.

"Get up! We are gonna open some presents". My dads big voice boomed over my room.

"Okay, whatever just give me a minute to get dressed" I said.

They closed the door and walked out.

Ugh I am so tired of them barging in like that. They don't even knock. I picked up my phone which was hooked up to the charger by my bed, and looked at my notifications. Just a bunch of twitter stuff. Harry Styles tweeted a weird picture of an old man as usual and Liam had a follow spree. I missed it! Ugh! Why do I always miss it!

I put my phone down, and looked around my poster covers room. This is gonna be a long day. I got up and pulled on a one direction t-shirt and a pair of black jeans, and began walking downstairs.

"Hi sugar plum! Ready to open your presents"? My mom asked, standing at the kitchen table.

"I guess". I said, letting out a big yawn.

I walked toward the table which was covered in about 5 bags.

"Open whichever you want first". She said.

I picked up a blue bag, and pulled out a bunch of shampoos.

"Thanks". I said and placed them by my side.

Then picked up another bag, which had a white t-shirt and jeans.

"Thannnnks". I muttered again.

I opened the rest of them. It was all just pointless stuff like that. I got a camera and that was cool, but I had told my mom that I wanted One Direction stuff.

"Okay well thanks for all this stuff, but I really am quite tired. I'm going to lay back down". I said.

I walked back upstairs, but before I could get into my room, I got a phone call.

"Hello". I said.

"Hey, it's Cat". She said.

"Oh hey. What's up". I replied.

"Well it's your birthday for one! So happy birthday girl! I think the perfect present for you would be Aaron Matthews"! She said excitedly.

I was in love with Aaron Matthews, we were friends I guess. He didn't give me very much attention though.

"Um what do you mean"? I asked.

"Well I think that maybe you should ask him out". She said.

"Are you out of your mind"?!

"No. I simply think that it's time". She said happily.

"Um. Nope. Thanks for the offer though". I said.

"Okay okay, how about I do it for you. I'll call him, and ask for you". Her little voice squeaked over the phone.

"Ummmmm sure. I guess it's worth a shot". I answered.

"Okay ill call you after I hear what he says". She said before hanging up.

I sighed, and walked back into my room.

I stopped in front of the mirror. God I was so ugly. I had a pimple on my cheek! How did that even get there. I was not skinny enough, and I really wish I had different hair.

I walked over to my bed and sat down. I noticed one of my magazines laying on the floor, and picked it up. I turned the pages, scanning for something interesting. I stopped on page 34. It had a picture of Perrie Edwards on it. God she was beautiful, and she is dating Zayn Malik. She must be so lucky! I stared at her perfectly curled hair and bright blue eyes. I longed to look like her. She has fans, and people would die just to look at her.

"Why can't I be like that",?! I yelled and threw myself down on the bed. I put my headphones in, turned on one direction, and got lost in their music.

Around 6:30 my phone rang, totally disrupting my music.

"Hello". I groaned into the phone.

"Hey.... It's cat". The familiar voice said over the phone.

My heart skipped a beat, she asked him. This was it. I might have boyfriend!

"Yeah so what did he say". I asked.

My hands were shaking.

"Well.... He said no". She said sadly into the phone.

"Ohh... Did he say why". I asked. I could feel the sadness welling up inside me. Like I couldn't breath.

"I don't really want to talk about it anymore. Gotta go". She said.

"No! Tell me why!" I yelled before she hung up.

"Stacy.... He said that you were ugly, and that you were fat. He said that your really weird too... I'm sorry. I think your gorgeous, he doesn't know what he's missing". She muttered.

My heart sank. Ugly? Fat! Weird?! Soon my sadness turned to fury. "This is your fault! You should have never talked me into asking him out"! I yelled!

"I'm sorry.. I just-".

"No cat! save it". I said, and hung up the phone.

I could feel the tears coming, and I couldn't stop them, they came like a flood down my face. This was a nightmare. The worst birthday ever.

A few minutes later, my mother yelled from behind my door. "Time to come blow out your candles".

I wiped my eyes and yelled "okay just a minute".

I tried to clean myself up before going downstairs to the table.

I stood at the edge of the table, and faked a smile as they all sang happy birthday to me. My little brother just made faces at me from across the table.

As soon as they were done singing, I bent down and made my wish. I wish that I was Perrie Edwards. Not this ugly excuse for a person.

After cake and ice cream, I went back upstairs and laid in my bed. I hope when I wake up this was all just a nightmare I thought before drifting off to sleep.
