Before I even open my eyes I hear birthday song being sung in unison. I open my eyes slowly and I smile as wide as I can. Layla,Becky,Ema,Aaron and Theo all surrounding my bed and singing. Layla is holding chocolate cake in her arms and Aaron is holding bunch of helium balloons. Theo hands me beautiful,colorful bouquet of flowers. They finish singing and all jump onto my bed. I'm holding bouquet and cake in my hands as they collapse on my bed. I laugh. Feeling of happiness overflows me and I can't stop smiling.

"Happy Birthday to the most wonderful and kindest person ever. Now you are pretty much big girl with your 18 years",Layla says and gives me a kiss on the cheek.

"We left presents down in living room",Becky says kindly and hugs me tightly.

After they've all said birthday wishes to me,I hop out of bed. I change myself and go downstairs where they all are now.

"I'll make you the most delicious breakfast ever",I say to them as I enter living room where they're sitting.

"And we are totally going to help you",Ema says.

We all head in kitchen and boys sit down saying they are not for cooking and that they'll mess everything up. Lazy liars. Us,girls,start preparing big breakfast slowly.
Smile is all along plastered on my face and I haven't felt this happy for a long time now. Instead of sobs house is echoing with laughter,music and chitchats. There is no way to describe gratefulness which I am feeling in this moment.

"When did you buy this dress?!",Layla shrieks when I open box and take out neatly folded emerald dress.

"I bought it when I was dropping my parents off in Toronto. I bought it especially for this occasion",I smile to her.

"I haven't seen more beautiful dress in a while. Wow..I can't wait to see how it looks on you",her mouth hang open and she smiles at me while handing me the dress.

"They'll come here at around 8 which gives us plenty of time to get ready",Layla throws herself on my bed.

After our breakfast we talked out details about trip and everybody went home to get ready except Layla who is staying with me.

"With Aaron will go Theo,Isaac,Ema and Caroline and with us will go Becky,Madison and Maggie",she informs me.

"Everything is okay with me. Whatever you guys want",I say to her and go to wash my hair.

Layla is slowly straightening her hair as I am now curling my hair. I never give up on curls. Time ticks and I pack my backpack with stuff for sleepover before I start doing my makeup.

I finish my look with false lashes and take look in my mirror. Brownish shadow is framing my eyes. I went for a light look,but made it little bit more party alike with pomegranate red glitter on my eyelids. It perfectly brings out green in my eyes and compliments the color of dress. Eyelashes make everything pop a bit more and I feel really satisfied with my makeup.

"Now put the dress on. I am dying to see it on you",Layla stomps her feet and I take a glance at her. Her makeup is flawless,bringing her features out. She looks really beautiful. Purplish dress is like her second skin and without a mistake you could say she is a model.

I look at the dress in front of me. It was made to emphasize waist and the V line is quite deep if you ask me,the prude. It connects with sleeves which are supposed to begin on the middle of arms,leaving shoulders bare. That gives a quite glamorous look to the dress. From the waist to the couple of inches up from the knee goes A lined skirt of the dress. Again if you ask me it is a little bit shorter,but paired with heels it will make my legs look like two straight arrows.
Without further ado, I slip the dress over my special lingerie. Slowly standing up in my heels I turn around to face Layla. Her face get shocked look and her mouth drop open.
