Secrets to be told

My birthday surprise

Polly

Today was Friday and my birthday. Seventeen years ago I entered the world and some days I really wish I hadn't, I can't say I have enjoyed life, my parents probably haven't even remembered and my sister is only five so she doesn't care about anything unless it is to do with her.

'bang' 'bang' "wake up" my sister banged on my door, there you go just the same as every other day.

I quickly showered and dressed in black jeans and a hoodie and made my way down stairs. Mum, dad and Sofia were all eating breakfast, nothing had been made for me and none of them even spoke let alone wished me happy birthday,

" they will regret not taking care of us Polly"

I turned round " what, who said that?"

my parents looked at me as though I had gone mad, maybe I had, why else would I be hearing voices,

" I'm apart of you Polly, you're not mad I'm your other half, I'm your wolf!" I tried to ignore this voice, I can't be losing it I'm seventeen not seventy. I was already running late so I grabbed some toast and made my way to school.

Libby met me at the gates with a great big card and a balloon, she was more like family to me, I could always count on her to cheer me up.

"happy birthday" she shouted running over and hugging me,

"Thanks, I'm glad someone has remembered" I said,

she gave me her sorry look.

We headed over to our lockers, I was getting my stuff when I heard

"hi Polly," I knew it was Stuart,

why was he still talking to me? he must of realised by now I'm not popular, in fact I'm the total opposite, a nobody.

"hi" I said shyly

I didn't know how to talk to boys, although he didn't seem bothered by this

" happy birthday, I hope you don't mind I got you this" he said passing me a small box

" thanks, but why would you get me something, you don't even know me" I asked

" well I love presents and seems you're coming to my party tomorrow I want a present, so I thought I better get you one" he smiled.

" well thank you" I open the box to find a beautiful handmade wooden necklace of a Golden Moon,

" you made this yourself?" I asked him

" yeah sorry it's not much"

" It's lovely" was all I could say before the bell rung for class

" I have to go thank you again" I said before heading to class.

" well what did Stuart want?" Libby asked as soon as I sat down,

" he gave me this" I handed her the box

" oh Polly it's lovely" Libby handed it back to me

" yeah but I can't understand why he would give me something like this" I looked at her

" Polly maybe he just likes you, you are beautiful, you are the only one who doesn't see it" Libby said to me, I just couldn't believe her,  I wasn't beautiful

" oh but we are Polly" that voice again I shock me head

" Polly what's wrong" Libby asked

" nothing" I said, I couldn't tell Libby I was hearing voices.
