School for the past few months has been a piece of shit, nothing I try to do is right. Abigail is still fucking with my head, so is neo. Do I care to tell anyone though, nope. Keeping it to myself is less damage then if I would tell anyone who cares about me. Speaking of people who care for me, Ive gotten to know Liv more and more, and for the past week she has been noticing that I haven't been myself. But no one else cares.

Tomorrows the first day of December, also Tylers birthday. I'm out shopping with jenna today to get him a gift.

"Jenna can we just prank him and get a crap ton of bananas?"

She starts to laugh, "I've done it before. He doesn't like me much"

"Awe please? It would be such a good gift? Besides I don't have any better of a gift."

Jenna turns to me and gives me a look, "you know what you should do?"

"No Jenna I don't know"

She smiles, "Tyler always loves thoughtful gifts. And since tomorrow  we are going to play dodgeball and getting him a bigger gift. I think you should write him a song you know?"

I stop, "Jenna I cant sing for my life"

"Yes you can Crystal, I've heard you many times playing your ukulele and singing in your room. Tyler tells me how much he enjoys your singing."

"Jenna how many times did I tell you not to sneak up and listen to me when I'm in my room"

She starts to speed away with the shopping cart, "no matter what you say I'll always do it"

I roll my eyes and chase after her.

After a few hours of shopping I decide to go in my room and try to write a song. "Okay um I have no clue what to write about" I say out loud.

I decide to grab out my phone and call liv. Just as I dial she picks up right away.

"Hey liv"

"Hey crystal what's up"

"Can you come over? I need help with something."

"Sure I'm on my way."

I end the call and fall onto my bed.

Roughly 10 minutes later she arrives we hang out for a bit till I remember why I asked her to come over.

"I need your help"

She looks at me, "sure with what"

I pull out my ukulele and begin to speak " so Tyler's birthday is tomorrow and I'm writing him a song. But I don't know how"

She smiles, "I can help you with that! I love writing songs and you are very talented I'm sure he will love it!"

For the rest of the time we worked on the song. After what I think is a pretty nice, funny, and great birthday song. She leaves and I continuously practice the song until I know it completely. I start to get tired and at around 3:30. I go to sleep.
———-

"Crystal get up" Jenna tells me as she's pulls my blankets off. I roll out of my bed and fall on the floor.
"Ow"

"Crystal be quiet you will wake up Ty, do you have the song ready."

A stand up and grab my ukulele. "Yeah. I was working on it all night."
As I look at Jenna I see that she has a cake in her hands that reads "happy birthday Ty" that she made herself.

We walk into Tyler's room and Jenna signals me to start playing the ukulele. I strum a little bit until he starts to walk up. Here it goes.

I take a deep breath and start to sing my cheezy ass birthday song.

Tyler,
Today's your day
Happy birthday in so happy you are in my life.
I don't know what I would do
If you didn't pick me up
And teach me all you do
So happy birthday Tyler
And thank you
(A/n I know this is bad just let me be)

Jenna hands him the cake and he blows out his candles. After that Jenna goes down go cut it and Tyler starts to talk "that was so beautiful Crystal, thank you"
He gives me a hug and continues, "maybe when you are a little older you should come and sing something with me on stage"

"Yeah maybe."

We both go down stairs to eat and anxiously wait for the dodgeball tournament.

"Any team I'm on" Tyler starts, "will win I can promise you that."

I laugh while putting on those weird ass trampoline socks, "ha I'd like to see you try"

Of course I was put on the opposite team as Tyler and Jenna. I was with josh but he got out the first round.

Needless to say Tyler won. Every. Single. Round.

As we were just about to leave Tyler smiled,
"Best birthday ever."
