SAMANTHA JUMPS IN
Unexpectedly dad was sitting at the dining table the next morning (Which happened to be my eleventh birthday), sorting the mail ''Good morning'' I said quietly. ''Morning Hun, happy birthday'', mum smiled placing a pancake in front of me and giving me a big kiss. '' Good morning Tom, happy birthday'' dad replied smiling just a bit and passed me a letter. I opened the envelope, inside was a paper embroidered with silver swirls. It said:
Dear Tom, Happy Birthday! I can't wait for your birthday party, I'm so excited. Have you gotten any presents yet? And how is my favourite fairy princess doing? Oh, and is your dad going to be there? Well he probably won't, no offence by the way. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Yours sincerely Samantha :)
I smiled. Sam was the best friend anyone could ever have. She was just so friendly and funny and always knew how to cheer me up. Her full name is Samantha Robinson, but her nick name is Sam. Samantha is always cheerful but she doesn't like my dad very much. She loves my mum and my little sister though, and they feel the same way for her.
I folded the letter and put it back in the envelope. I planned to put it with all my other letters, (mostly from Sam), later. Soon Annalessi woke up and when she saw me she jumped on me. ''happy birthday Tom, I love you so much''! She said giving me a big kiss and a little sparkly blue and green card ''mummy helped me write it because mummy is the best and so are you''! I looked over to dad. He sighed and looked a bit sad. *You deserve it*. I thought and instantly felt guilty. Why was it always like this? He is always gruff with me and never feels guilty, yet when I'm gruff with him I always feel a bit guilty.
