The Unforgettable Birthday

By:Kaitlyn L. Hubbard

Prologue

My name is Skyley Mcarver.

Yes I know it is a weird name and you might think my parents are weirdos. Well most people call me sky. I've got 2 cats named Frisky and Pringle. Frisky is black and has little brown spots on his back. Pringle is a yellow and gold color on his back and belly but on his face he is a very light brown color. I tell him he will be a single Pringle forever! Anyways this is my story and it isn't always pretty but it's still my story I am going to tell you it. It all started the week before my birthday. At my high school which can I say is a prison but I go to Pebs Education for the gifted. Its a high school unfortunately.  Well let's get started!

Chapter 1

Who is that?

I woke up to my alarm clock which plays the song Best day of my life to wake me up. I got out of bed and instantly regretted it. I felt a sharp pain on the bottom of my left foot. "Ow!" I said under my breath. I sat back on the bed and lifted up my foot so I could see it. And right smack dab in the center of my foot was a bright yellow tack. I sighed. I was going to have to pull it out. Just a wonderful way to start my morning I thought sarcastically I counted down in my brain to myself. Yes I needed a countdown even though I was turning 15 in two weeks. I mentally started counting down. 3....2...1! I pulled at the top of the yellow tack and with a pinch of pain it was out. I thought I was ok until it began to bleed....a lot and, just sayin I don't exagerate. Ok sometimes I do but, not this time. So after my little scrirmmage with the first aid kit I made myself breakfast. Alright by "scrirmmage with the first aid kit" I meant I couldn't find the medicine cream. So the first tube I found I was so frustrated I just squeezed it on there without even reading the label. My advice to you is don't do that. My cut instantly began to burn. My eyes began to water. What in the world is going on! I thought. I then decided to read the label of the tube. You'll never guess what it was! Toothpaste! Are you freakin kidding me! I took a wash cloth out of the bathroom cabinet and washed the toothpaste off of my foot. Forget the first aid cream I thought so I just slapped a huge bandaid on the spot. So after I made myself some waffles for breakfast, which was the highlight of my morning. By the time I finished breakfast it was 7:15. Where is the bus? I wondered. I looked outside my window to see if it just decided not to honk. Nope no bus. Well it could be running a little late I thought to encourage myself. By the time it was 7:30 there was still no sign of the bus. Great just Great! Now what? I guess I'll have to walk! I swung my book bag over my shoulder and opened the front door. When I was about half way through my journey on foot to school when a car going way over the speed limit (oh did I mention it rained the night before and there were puddles everywhere no, well now you know!) happened to splash in a puddle right next to me! With a sploosh I was drenched and furious. "Really, watch where your driving!" I yelled after the car. I walked the rest of the way to school sopped. By the time I got there it was 8:15. Wonderful I'm 10 minuets late! I thought. When I went to my locker I found a note. I took the note off of my locker and opened it. It was from my friend Sami (short for Samantha). She said she couldn't go shopping with me today after school because she got grounded for not cleaning her room after her Mom told her to. Which was about a month ago. This day just gets better and better! I thought bitterly. I walked into my 1st period classroom and sat at my desk knowing everyone was starring at me. "You're late" I heard Mrs. Stephens say. "I know" I say. "So what do you say?" she asked raising her bushy eyebrows. I Really don't like it when teachers ask me these types of questions like I'm some little first grader. I mean come on I was going to be 15 in  days! "Sorry" I muttered under my breath. She stuck up her nose at me then continued with whatever she was teaching. I wasn't paying much attention something about what was going to be on mid terms this year and blah blah blah. The bell finally rang and I headed off to Mr. Jo's Science class. Sometimes I enjoy it but with how today was going I didn't expect anything of the sort. I was right. As soon as I walked in Mr. Jo said "Every one get out a sheet of paper we are having a pop quiz today" he scanned the room making sure every one had heard him than added "and if I catch you cheating you will have a detention after school for a month. Oh and this Quiz is worth a little less than half of your grade." "Are you serious!" I accidentally blurted out. The whole class started snickering  "Yes quite" he said giving me his death stare. Feeling me cheeks flush I quickly got preoccupied with finding a piece of notebook paper. After class he gave us our pop quizzes back because he grades papers like at 90 miles and hour. He stared at me as he handed me mine. I took it and looked at it when I got to my locker. I gasped out loud. I had gotten 1 out of 10 witch means I failed! No!!! I screamed in my head. Why is today so bad? First I step on a tack then I put toothpaste on my cut then the bus doesn't even show up to pick me up then I have to walk to school and on the way here I get drenched by a car hitting a puddle and now this! I screamed in my head. Then I felt a tap on my shoulder. I spun around so furious I was reading to punch someone anything. "What!" I yelled/screamed really loud which echoed down the hallway. "Um...could you direct me to where the algebra classroom is, I'm new" he said. Woah he was gorgeous. I felt bad for snapping at him. Who is he? Where did he come from? I thought. Realizing he was still waiting for an answer I quickly said "Uh yes I uh actually I'm uh heading to algebra now I'm sorry for snapping at you" Dang it I thought, he probably is going to avoid me now I'm so stupid! I thought "Cool we can go together, if that's ok with you" he said. Before I answered I thought wait I don't even know his name yet! "It's ok with me if you tell me your name first my name is Skyley but most people call me sky" I said "Oh yeah um I'm sorry my name is Levi" he said then held out his hand and I took it.
