birthday girl

Prologue

'(Y/B/D), the worst day of the year!' I state in my mind as I put my hood on. I walk to my class and take my seat in the far back, next to the window. The teacher starts her lecture and I stare out of the window, the gray clouds hanging over the town like an executioner's ax. I feel something hit the side of my head, I look over. A few girls were giggling, I look at the ground and there is a crumpled piece of paper. I pick it up from the floor and uncrumple it. 'Hey, whore! Meet me at the usual spot for your daily beat down!' I read and roll my eyes. I tear the paper up and roll up my sleeve to continue drawing/writing on my arm. I take a sharpie from my bag and continue working on a drawing. a few classes later I suddenly wonder what time it is, I look up and read the clock '11:11' I make my wish then go back to the notes.

~time skip~lunch~

I'm hiding behind some bushes behind the school, my newest hiding spot. I draw/write in my notebook and a ladybug lands on the back of my hand and I remember that you can make a wish on them if I say "Ladybug, Ladybug, fly away home. Your house is on fire and your children are gone" and she flies away as I think of my wish. I smile and get back to drawing/writing until I feel something wet hit the back of my hand. rain. I look up into the sky and another drop hits my cheek. I quickly pack up all of my stuff and just as I'm about to head inside I see a rainbow, I close my eyes and make my wish, I count to ten and open my eyes, the rainbow is still there. I head back inside and run straight into one of the girls that were giggling in class earlier. "excuse me" I say and try to walk past her but she grabs me by my hair. "ouch!" I say and try to get my hair out of her grasp, "this is what you get for being such a bitch" she says before throwing at the lockers. I take that chance and run, I run into the bathroom and hide in one of the stalls. I sit against the wall and silently sob to myself. after crying for a bit, I wipe my eyes and an eyelash falls out, 'can't you wish on these too?' I think before I realize something, 'I spend too much time online...' I think then shrug before placing the eyelash on the back of my hand as it said and I close my eyes making my wish then I blow softly and open my eyes and its gone... the bell rings, and I jump up. I walk to class and hide in the back of the class.

~time skip~ after school~

as soon as the bell rings I run out of the school and stop right in front of the fountain outside the school (just go with it). I take a coin out of my pocket, 'this is stupid, why do I keep making this wish? why do I even try?' I sigh looking at the coin because I already know the answer, 'it's the only hope I have left' as soon as I think that I throw the coin into the fountain and make my wish. afterward, I decide to take the short cut through the park (it's not that much of a short cut but it's better to walk 3 miles than 6). as soon as I walk into the park I see a white horse. I think of my wish briefly before thinking, 'boy this town I weird' and the horse walks away. I continue down the path and something hits my head. "ow!" I say looking down at the thing that hit my head. an acorn sits on the ground and I bend down to pick it up. I examine the seed and my wish pops into my mind. I stand up and pocket the acorn, continuing down the I come across a small stream with a penny sitting on a rock face up next to it. I pick up the penny and throw it into the water, it makes a splash and I think of my wish. farther along the path I walk past the old wishing well, but it looks more like a random circle of bricks covered in moss now. I stop walking and look back at the well. I think for a moment, 'I could make my wish again in there. but its gonna cost me more coins...' I sigh and walk over to the pile of bricks. 'I'm gonna go broke on this wish...' I take out some change and throw a nickel into the well and say my wish out loud. I continue my way down the path.

~time skip~your house~

I walk up to the house and pick up one of the stones along the porch while looking for the spare key. I turn the rock over to see dried blood on the other side... I would have been freaked out but I realized it was the rock my father threw at me when I was younger (Little misfortune? anyone?). I rub my thumb over the dried blood on the stone in deep thought; my wish popping in my mind briefly and I continue my search for the spare key. once I find it I unlock the door, forgetting that I still have the rock in my hand. I walk in only to be kicked by one of my little sisters' friends before they run away giggling, "you little BRAT!!!" I yell at the kid and herd them and my sister giggling in the next room over. "(y/n)!! be nice to your sister and her friend!!!" my mother yells from the kitchen and I roll my eyes. I walk upstairs to my room- which is actually a closet turned into a room- and I sit on my bed and take out my very old laptop, I start to watch some anime and do my homework.

~time skip~2 hours~

I was listening to music on my bed and my mom yells for everyone to come down for dinner. I get up and walk down stairs. I sit at my spot at the table and my siblings start to fight over certain foods and I sit quietly eating my chicken (if your vegetarian/vegan then you eat something else but the rest of the family eats the chicken). after finished my sister yells, "DIBS ON THE WISH BONE!!!" half way standing up in her chair with her hand up. I roll my eyes and my mother takes the wishbone out of the carcass. "I want (y/n) to break it with me!!" she grins evilly because she just wants to see the look on my face when I lose. "OK honey" she says smiling and hands the bone to my sister. I walk around the table and grab on to the bone. "honey think of your wish" my mother says to my little sister, completely ignoring me. I think of my wish as she starts to pull and surprisingly I get the bigger side. I looked shocked and my sister starts crying and my mom tries to calm her down by saying I cheated. I place the bone on my plate and go up to my room/ closet again. I stare at my roof thinking about my wish and fiddling with my necklace chain. I subconsciously realize the clasp is at the hollow of my throat; still thinking about my wish I move the clasp back to the back of my neck. a little while later I sneak out of my room and out of the back door. I sit under my tree a dandelion sitting right next to me, I pluck the weed and think of my wish and blow the little seeds off, closing my eyes. all of the seeds were gone when I opened them again. I notice the sky getting dark and see a shooting star. I close my eyes and make my wish before saying the rhyme, "starlight, start bright, first star I see tonight: I wish I may, I wish I might, have this wish I wish tonight" I open my eyes again and decide to stay out a little longer.

~time skip~

I check the time, it was fully dark by now but it was only 9. I stare up at the beautiful full moon while thinking about my wish. I stay out for about an hour more then head back inside, knowing everyone is asleep by now. I walk into the kitchen and take out some ingredients for some cupcakes (if you can't bake then you use one of those boxes of cake mix). I finish mixing the batter and I put it into the greased cupcake pan, knowing I'm going to get I trouble for cooking again. I put the pan into the oven and wait for them to cook as I look around for the frosting, 'I know we have some around here...' I think remembering hiding some from my sister. I find the frosting and put it on the counter, waiting for the cupcakes to finish cooking. after the cupcakes finish cooking I let them cool before frosting them. after frosting them I look through the cupboards for the birthday candles. after I find them I put one in a cupcake and start looking for the lighters. I find one in my dad's jacket pocket and I take it back to the kitchen, I light the candle. I put the lighter down and pick up the cupcake, I think of my wish and blow out the candles. afterwards I eat the cupcake as I clean up and put everything away. I finish and head back to my room and lie down, ready to get some sleep, seeing as it was almost midnight. I lay in my bed and slowly falling asleep.
