Today is my birthday, September 26th to be exact. I was so excited for the last week or so, but since the day has come its been boring. My family are the normal doing their normal everyday routine, except saying "Happy Birthday" to me this morning. Today is not that different. I'm wearing a pair of jeans, a white tank top, and a black sweater. Nothing fancy like other girls, and their preppy self's. It's a Thursday, and the day couldn't get any longer. My classes today are my favourite, before lunch I have Band, then English, and than after lunch Social Studies and Foods. I really thought today would be special. That people would say Happy Birthday.

Its second class, English and I have not seen any of my friends. I only have a few friends, and ones homeschooled, but they all mean a lot to me, and we all have something in common. My English teacher is my favourite. Her name is Mrs. Sinhuber. She has blonde hair, average height, and lots of piercings on her ears. She let's us use our phones in class, and she is very nice. A girl named Nikki is in my class, she's decent. Kinda annoying, but she keeps me company. All class we did work on Laptops. Finally class ends and its Lunch time. When I leave the room I see my crush. Today his hair is his normal blonde and combed, he's wear a blue T-shirt, paired with a pair of blue jeans and some shoes. His name is Justin, and I've liked him since grade 7. I don't ever remember having a full on conversation with him but we have exchanged words. A whole 5 years and I still have not worked up the courage to talk to him. I'm such a fucking loser.

"Hey!" I'm pulled out of my thoughts and turn around to see my friend Miranda standing behind me holding her arms out for a hug. I think about telling her I'm of in the mood for a hug, because I'm really not, but decide agents it because I don't want to explain to her as to why.

"Happy Birthday! Have you seen your locker yet?" At our school, on everyone's birthday we decorate their locker with rapping paper, I was expecting nothing.

"someone actually decorated my Locker?" This is news to me.

"Yes! Justin even signed it." She smiles. Miranda's one of the few people that know I like him.

"You serious?" I'm surprised. Like really surprised.

"Anyways, Me and Kasha got you something so you have to go t her place after school." Miranda changes the subject. Kasha is my homeschooled friend. She used to go to school in grade 7 and the beginning of grade 8 but her, and her mom decided to Home school. I wouldn't blame her, my school is full of preppy rich kids.

"You didn't have to." I wonder what they could have gotten me.

"But we wanted to, and just adding it was Kasha's idea, and you'll love it, like l. k you'll LOVE it." she exaggerates on the Love. I don't love a lot of things to be honest so its very unlikely that'lqk:-) kle love it.

Lunch is finally over and I go to my next class, Socials. My friend Nevada is sitting in the chair next to me as the teacher teaches some sort of review. I don't pay attention, because I'm talking to Nevada and the teacher asks use to be quiet. I can't wait till the day is over.

"Your homework is to read pages 134 to 148 from the textbook and do the questions on pages 149 and 150. Have a good day, and I'll see you all next class." My teachers tells everyone while were leaving.

Finally a class where In don't have to do work.

"Today we will be going down the the gym to watch the girls volleyball championship." My teacher tells us. Every year our school hold the provincials and every year all the classes go down and watch them. Its fun, but its always so crowded.

We won 22-6 and of course everyone's congratulating the girls. They played really good, and they deserve winning. Its almost the end of the school day when I sneak out of the gym to my locker. Its decorated like Miranda said but one thing stood out. Right in the middle of the wrapping paper, it read: Happy Birthday Kailey, From Justin xx. I can't believed he wrote that! He made my day 100% better without realising it.
