Jasmine's birthday 

~jasmine~

I woke up early one morning. It was a Saturday. I headed downstairs for breakfast. Mom and dad were eating. "Good morning." I said. Mom looked at me excited. "Sit down." She said. I did and she got up. "Close your eyes." She said. I did and when I opened them, I saw a stack of pancakes. "Why'd you make me close my eyes?" I asked. Just then my eyes moved to the envelope on the table. "Did you think we'd forget your birthday?" Dad asked. "No. I forgot that it was coming up." I said. Just then the phone rang. Mom answered it. "Really? That's awesome. She'll be so happy." She said. She hung up the phone. "Well birthday girl. The doctor has a present. You're getting your cast removed today." She said. "YES!!!" I shouted. Dad handed me a box and the envelope. I opened the box and saw a necklace. I put it on and opened the envelope. Inside was a bunch of money. "Buy an outfit or something. You've earned it." He said. I hugged him. "Thank you dad." I said. Mom was staring at me. "What?" I asked. "Red and I gave you that money." She said. I hugged her too. "Can I get my ears pierced?" I asked. "Sure." Mom said. "It's your birthday. But only one hole in each ear." Dad said. I hugged them both again. I put my stuff on and mom and I left. We were driving when mom said something. She said that the lady at the girls home told her to give it to me when I turned eight. I was confused but glad that she knew about my birthday. Even if she hated me.

  At the doctor's office, we had to wait for a while. I didn't really care. I was still confused. After awhile though, he came out. "Jasmine?" He called. I stood up. As I did, I noticed a girl staring at me. "Jazzycake was on crutches?" I heard her ask. I ignored them and headed into the room. After the doctor cut my cast, he did another x ray. He came back a little while later. "Well. You might want to say goodbye to your crutches because your leg is better." He said. I stood up and we left. 

We were driving for awhile when I remembered the envelope. "Hey mom? Can we go shopping?" I asked. "Sure thing, kiddo." She said. We drove for a bit and pulled into the parking lot at the mall. Mom parked the car and we got out. We went inside and headed to a clothing store. I picked out a cool outfit and tried it on. Mom let me buy it. After I picked out a few more things, we paid for them and left the store. "Mom, how much money did you and dad give me?" I asked. "$800." She whispered in my ear. "That much for an eight year old?" I asked. "Well we are rich because of YouTube." She whispered. "Mom why are you whispering?" I asked. "You really want to lose all of it?" She asked. I shook my head. Just then someone came up to us. I panicked. Then I saw that she was my age. In fact she looked just like me. "What's your name?" She asked. "Jasmine." I said. "That's funny. I had a sister named Jasmine but I lost touch with her after a car crash that killed our parents." She said. Suddenly I remembered everything. "Kendra?" I asked. "Yeah. How do you know my name?" She asked. "When's your birthday?" I asked. "Today. I'm eight years old." She said. I felt my necklace and took it off. She removed hers. We put them next to each other and they connected. I turned it over. "Happy eighth birthday to our little girls love mom and dad." I said, reading the engraving. I looked up at her. "I can't believe it." I said. "You're my sister."
