“Happy birthday” all my friends ran up to me and hugged. “Y’all know I hate being hugged,” I complained. “Come on Kelsey? Please” my bff angel whined. I sighed as they attacked me again.
“So how’s your fifteenth birthday so far?” Kim asked curious no doubt. “It’s only…” I paused to look at my watch “8:27 in the morning! How could I have enjoyed it so far?” I said/asked. “It’s a whole eight hours and a half to have done something exciting” Liz perked her head up next to me. “For six of those hours I was snoozing and one was spent on getting ready then the other one and a half hours spent waiting for a bus and on the bus” I said.
I know it seems like I was in a bad mood but my birthday has never been kind to me. Something bad has always happened on it.
Birth date- December 17, 1994: I was born. The accident of my young parents hormones.
1 -Grandpa I never knew died in drunk driver accident
2 -I got lost at a shopping mall.
3 -Dad walked out on us during my birthday party
4 -Parents divorce was finalized (it was a long year)
5-Moms boyfriend of the time used me as a punching bag
6 -I was with dad who ignored me the whole time playing poker
7 -I met Jesse (mom’s boyfriend)
8 -I was forced to spend the whole day cleaning my dads house after he threw a big party the night before
9 -I had a new step dad (Jesse). Who forced me to wait on him hand and foot while he worked on his car.
10 -Dad and his third wife threw me a pool party then snuck away leaving me to play with my ‘friends’ *cough* NOT *cough*
11 -I was ignored and forgotten the whole day
12 -I broke my arm
13 -Mom threw me a surprise party which I stepped in on wearing my pjs in front of all of my friends who snickered and some guys who stared (I had developed and was wearing no bra under my short tank top) awkward
14 -I was egged.
15 -Let’s see what happens this year
“So we’re going to Alex’s party tonight to celebrate,” Kim said planning. “Why are we going to someone else’s party to celebrate my birthday?” I asked confused. “Because everyone we know will be there and Alex already had his party planned 'cause his parents are out of town and he wouldn’t cancel it,” Ashley explained rolling her eyes.
“Does it really matter if we celebrate this dismal occasion?” I asked groaning. “Yes” they all answered in unison. “Why?” I groaned louder this time. “Because we love you,” angel shouted. I turned my nose up at her answer. “Corporate America has you brain washed into thinking that’s a real feeling” I replied. “Oh shut up. It is real.” Kim said turning to her boyfriend C.j. Who just came up behind her and kissed her cheek playfully. Everyone else awed and cooed except me.
“See y’all later” I said walking to my locker in the other building. I got to my locker and started putting my books from my enormous amount of homework the night before into the too small for all of my stuff locker. Suddenly everything went black as a hand covered my eyes. “Guess who” a voice said. “Hmmmmmmmm” I smirked knowing who it was.
