Lucia's POV
"Happy birthday Lucia!" Mya screams while running down the hallway.
"Fuckin hell. Would ya ' hush?" I whisper yell.
Everyone is staring at us.
"I'm just so happy" Mya cheers.
"You're too cheery for me today" I put on a fake smile.
"You need to smile more" Mya says sternly.
"And you need to live some more" I retort.
Mya's a goody two shoes. She refuses to drink, smoke, and have sex before marriage. The whole 9 yards.
She's the good that I need in my life. She's good, and I'm bad. We balance eachother out. That's why we're each other's only friend.

I'm walking home by myself today because Rick and Summer decided to get a ride home from their own friends.
I notice both of my parents cars in the driveway.
They should be at work.
I unlock the door and hear people whispering.
"Surprise!" My family screams.
I hate surprises.
So this is why Summer and Rick got a ride home.
I glance around the room and see Rick's friends and Summer's friends. I look in the corner of the living room and spot Mya.
"Hey loser" I laugh.
"Why's there so many people here" Mya complains.
"Mya, there's like 15 people here. My parents, Rick's friends, and Summer's friends" I motion to the crowd of people.
"Yeah, that's a lot" she whines.
"Well let's go get some food. I know you're hungry, but you're too shy to go get food by yourself " I chuckle.
We walk to the backyard where my dad is grilling burgers.
"My first born daughter is 17 now" my dad cries.
"Oh hush. Summer's the daughter to cry over" my mom intervenes.
Well jeez. I sure do feel the love.
---
Everyone's outside while Mya and I are in the house.
"I got you a gift" Mya hands me a bag.
I open the bag and can't believe my eyes.
"You actually got me cigarettes?!" I say in disbelief.
"I gave you them because this will be the first and last pack you'll smoke" she looks at me.
"We'll see about that" I smirk.
Mya gives me the h.ell no look.
"So will you smoke one with me?" I ask her.
"Nopeee, sorry" she declines.
"Fineee. I knew you wouldn't, but it was worth a shot" I laugh.
"Wait, how'd you get it? You're not 18 yet" I say confused.
"With my fake id..." she trails off.
"Your what!?!?" I choke on air.
Mya has a fake id!?
"My fake id I made" she mumbles.
"How come you didn't get me a fake id for my birthday instead?" I ask.
"I didn't think about it. Why, do you want one?" She asks me.
"H.ell yes!" I squeal.
"Wait, is this your "job" you've been doing?!" I gasp.
"Yeahhh..." she says shamefully.
"Wow, when did you become a badass?" I laugh.
"Thank you for my gift" I hug her.
I can't believe Mya sells fake ids.
I run to my room to hide my present that I got from Mya. My parents would never approve, but I'm still going to smoke it anyways.
---
It's time to do my birthday cake. Everyone starts singing, and I just akwardly stand there.
I blow out the candles and proceed to open my presents, well, present.
"We couldn't exactly wrap up your gift, so we could only give you part of it" my dad hands me a tiny box.
I open it and see car keys.
"A car!?" I squeal.
"It's in the garage" my dad smiles.
I can see my mom's face stiffen. She never wants her daughters to get a car because she fears we'll runaway. Which is reasonable because I'm considering it right now actually.
---
Mya had to leave because her parents needed her, so I just went in my room.
The "party" was still going on downstairs, but people are starting to slowly leave.
I grab my pack of cigarettes and lighter from my hiding spot, and I sit on the roof outside my window.
The sky is dark but bright with stars. It isn't too hot or too cold outside, so I'm just wearing a blanket over my tank top and shorts.
I open my pack of cigarettes and take out my first one. I light it with my lighter and inhale a deep breath.
I feel myself relax a little with each puff I take. My eyes glance around the backyard, and I notice someone. Or should I say someone noticed me.
The person walks out of the shadows and into the light produce by our back porch light.
It's Ethan.
Gosh, why is he everywhere?!.
He climbs up a tree and appears in front of me.
"What are you doing?" I ask confused.
"The birthday girl shouldn't be alone on her birthday" he chuckles.
"Yeah, well, I like being alone" I inhale another puff from my cigarette.
"You know. Those can kill you?" He stares at me.
"And birds fly. Tell me something I don't know" I take another deep breath from the cigarette.
"Okay then. I like you" he shoots back.
"Ahaha, and I like ice cream" I crush my cigarette on the roof and crawl through my window to my room.
He can't like me.
He doesn't know me.
No one does.
