" Happy Birthday!"
What?
Rory looked puzzled.
" Today's May 11th. Today is your birthday, right?"
Oh my gosh, it is!
" Yeah," I replied, a tinge of nervousness in my face.

" Today's my birthday."

  At the tug of my sleeve, we're outside overlooking a lake. Today's going to be a happy day. Rory stopped pulling, and turned around at me. He kissed my cheek, and then pulled out a box with something in it.
  I opened it slowly to find a silver heart necklace with swirls in carved into it.
" So you always have a piece of my heart."
He helped me put it around my neck, and I vowed to myself I would never take it off.
     At breakfast, we had vanilla scones with hot chocolate, my favorite. Everyone wished me a happy birthday, and Lidia even gave me a floral dress she had that didn't fit her anymore.  Once when we finished, they final gave us uniforms.
The uniforms were a pale grey jumpsuit with two light blue stripes down the shoulders. Our teacher, Mr. Wells, was pretty nice. That day we learned about how to stop a pressure point wound. At the end of class, Ivy pulled me over by my pressure point.
  " Listen you stupid flower. You're a nobody. Nobody wants you, and you'll always be over shadowed by your sister. If you went now, nobody would realize."
  I ran out, tears streaming down my face. I kept running questions through my head that needed answered.
Who am I? Am I too delicate? Am I bullied?
  Is my sister over shadowing me?

  " Prim?"

I turned around to see Rory standing a few paces away from me. " Please come back." he said, holding out a hand. I shook my head.
" I can't. I'll just be bullied even more. "
Rory shook his head. " That's  not it, is it?"
  " No Rory, it's not. Everyone doesn't see for who I truly am. " I said, now halfway shouting.
" It's always been my sister. Always! I don't even know who I am anymore!"
  Rory's face fell. I looked straight at him and yelled the question that's been bothering me for years now.

   " Who am I?!?!"
Rory's eyes had tears in them, but he didn't go. I could feel hot tears steam down my face as well. Then, what he said next surprised me.

  " You're favorite color is blue.
     You love to draw.
      You've never liked coffee, so you drank hot      chocolate instead.
     Swans are you're favorite animal.
      You always smell like green tea.
        Your favorite flower is a red rose. "

     He paused, and I was going into a full crying state.

  Cupping my face in his hands, he spoke one more truth.

    " You are my water lily."
