It was my birthday today but i didn't seem any different from other days, i was expecting something different (permit me to say magical). All of my friends made life seem so complicated, each time they told me how great and how hard it was to be a teen and today i was one of them. I jumped out of bed and went into my bathroom to look at the mirror i saw myself still of average height, brown hair, dark sparkling eyes that could melt the snow then i said to myself "jackie dawson is 13" i was thrilled and at the same time expectant and scared "jackie dear" i heard a voice call from outside my room and it was my dad which was obvious since he is the only person that lives with me and i am the only person that lives with him "darling you better wake up or you'll be late for school" dad said again. I suddenly stopped day dreaming and realised that i was gonna be late. Finally i was ready to go to school and dad dropped me off, before i left the car dad brushed my hair and said "if only your mom was here she would've been proud of the big girl you have become", and then dad kissed my cheek, i smiled warmly trying to hide the fact that i was sad that i was sad that my mom could'nt be there to wish me a happy birthday, my mom died while giving birth to me so it has just been my dad and i all the way.
H
