Chapter 1: Birthday Wish

Chapter 1: Birthday Wish

It was Friday. I had just finished my last day nannying for Dr. Collon.

Dr. Collon: Our kids are sure going to miss you.

Mrs. Collon: Thank you so much Alexis for all your hard work. We will definitely hire you next summer.

Me: Oh no problem and thank you. I am going to miss your kids.

Dr. Collon writes me a check handing the check to me.

Shit! This is $600. They usually paid me $400 per week.

Me: Thanks this is very generous of you guys

Dr. Collon: See this as a bonus for all your hard work. Hope your semester of college goes well.

I reach in giving all three of the kids hugs. Then I go hug Dr. and Mrs. Collon. After waving them a goodbye, I step into my car driving away.

Boy I sure was going to miss that family. They were all so nice. They were like family to me. Oh well guess I will see them next summer. I had quickly ran to the bank, getting my check cashed and putting it in my savings account. I had to hurry home. Tonight was my cousin, Shelby's birthday. She turned nineteen today and her boyfriend Ryan and I were having dinner at her favorite mexican restaurant "The Gordia".

My name is Alexis. I'm eighteen years old and share an apartment with Shelby. We are both the complete opposite. She's the party hard bad girl who can get any boy she wants while I'm your boring good girl. I consider myself to be the good girl. I don't smoke, have only had one boyfriend, still a virgin, and have only gotten drunk a few times but that was with Shelby. Shelby on the other hand, smokes, drinks, has sex (a lot with her boyfriend) and even has an dragon tattoo on her back. She has dark, short hair, green eyes, nice legs and is tall and fit like a model. Me on the other hand, I have blonde hair, blue eyes, I'm short with no butt but big boobs. If I could change my body, I totally would!!!!! Shelby always tells me it's the boobs that the boys like but honestly I could care less what boys thought. I always had bad luck with them on the other hand Shelby was great when the topic was boys. In fact I always have bad luck, seriously. For some examples, my hair is NOT supposed to be this color. The lady at the hair salon fried my hair. If I were to try to color my hair again I would be bald. Second, my first and only boyfriend cheated and left me. He said I was "too" boring. Third, my car keeps breaking down and one time I actually got my car towed because my car broke down in an only two-hour long parking spot. The people still gave me an expensive ticket. If you still don't believe that I have bad luck, this may convince.

It was two months ago for my eighteenth birthday. I was and even still today a HUGE one Direction fan. I've seen all of there interviews, know all there facts, songs, and birthdays. Shelby is a fan of them too. But anyways Shelby thought it would be cool to surprise me with tickets and back stage passes to their concert. The only thing was that the concert was a couple states out from where we live. So we had to save a month's worth just to go on the trip. Once we got to the concert, it ended up being that the tickets my cousin was sold were fraud. Sounds like the best birthday ever huh. Though we didn't get to see there concert, we did get to see them live, but only watch them on Shelby's iphone at a Denny's restaurant. Shelby felt bad so I didn't seem too upset in front of her but that night I cried to sleep. Okay enough with the bad luck stories.

I was at home getting ready. I had my long blonde hair put in a side fish tail braid wearing a hot pink maxi skirt with a flowy top hiding my breasts. I wanted to wear high heels to add height but I knew I wouldn't last long in heels. I could never.

*************************************************

SCENE: At restaurant with Shelby and Ryan. Shelby is opening up her birthday presents.

Shelby: Fuck I love it!

Shelby had opened up the present I got her. I bought her one of those really expensive sexy lingering red, pushup bra with jewels from Victoria Secret. Shelby had really wanted the one I got her bad.

Ryan: Ooh my girl is sure going to look sexy in that.

Me: You like it?

Shelby: Like is not good enough. I love it! Did you get yourself one?

I shook my head. If only my boobs were b-cups like Shelby but unfortunately I had to work with D's.

Me: I could never look good in one of those.

Shelby: Okay here we go again. Alexis your body is beautiful . Men like girls with boobs. Sure you lack a butt and all but your boobs makes up for it.

I crossed my arms over my chest. 

The waiter shows up with Shelby's birthday cake. We all began chanting the happy birthday song to her.

All of us:-- Happy birthday dear Shelby, Happy birthday to you.

Me: Make a wish.

Shelby blows out the candles. We all began to applaud while I go hug her and Ryan kisses her on the lips.

Shelby: Okay now lets dig in the cake.

We all took out a spoon and began to dig into the chocolate lava cake with vanilla ice cream.

Shelby: Okay I know it's bad luck to tell your wish but I'm going to anyways especially if it's going to come true either way.

I sat the spoon down giving Shelby my full attention. Shelby had reached in her purse taking out an envelope.

Shelby: Tomorrow is the big Masquerade ball. I want my boyfriend of course to go with me and you Alexis to join us as well.

Sure I didn't mind being the third wheel. I was used to that.

Shelby: But Alexis I want you to go on a blind date.

I could feel the cake I had just inhaled getting feisty in my stomach.

Me: Shelby I don't think that's a good idea. You know just after-

Shelby: Oh come on. It's been months since your last breakup. Ryan and I have been doing a lot of talking. It's one of his friends we are setting you up with. He is a great guy with a great personality. Plus he's cute.

Ryan looking upset after Shelby calling another guy cute: Hey

Shelby: Of course not at cute as you baby.

She goes in and kisses Ryan on the lips.

Me: I can't. This is just too last minute. I'm not ready to be seeing other people. Sorry but no.

Shelby: Oh come on. Quit being just a Debbie Downer. Just give the guy a chance. It's only one date. It's birthday wish please.                         Shelby gives me the puppy lips and eyes

Shelby: Plus if things don't work out, it's only one date and you can forget this all ever happened. What do you say? Please. I'm just looking out for my baby cuz. I don't want to see you always be alone.

I always got along just by myself boyfriendless. I had guys that were my friends but they were only just friends.

Shelby: pwetty pweez.

Me: Oh fine. Only one date. And if things don't work out which I doubt they even will like they always do, you can never set me up on a blind date or any date again. Deal?

Shelby: Fine deal!

We both shake hands.
