Bella's pov • Friday
Once my alarm goes off I tiredly of bed. Today we have a foot ball game and Mr. Williams told us to dress up.
That depresses me. I just want to live in band shirts and sweat pants.
I then remember it is my birthday. oh HEYY I'm 15 now cool.
I end up wearing black pants, some white shirt I didn't even know I had with a blue cardigan thingy over it. I also curled my hair because why not.
I pick up my phone still on the charger and see I have a few notifications
From: Seth, At: 12am
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
From: Aj, At: 12:03 am
Happy birthday!! I tried to send this three minuets ago but stupid phone service
From Ian: At: 3:15 am
Yo check instagram for your birthday message.
I go onto instagram and look at Ian's post.
It's a collage of me and Ian's selfies, the caption is
"Happy birthday to me In training. It's so funny when your vocab slowly slips into your friends speech but I rubbed off on her.. so watch out. and her obsession with her Tuba has kind of rubbed off on me in a way that I take marching band more serious than I ever have. Well I'm not making this all sappy happy birthday to my bestest friend ever, yeah that's right Noah and aj, ever. "
Aj commented "woow Ian how sweet, I will top it."
I then go to Aj's page, he posted a photo of me and him at band camp when I was being a bum. I look so stupid but oh wait I don't care.
He captioned it
"I'm going to top Ian's message. This girl next to me was a quiet little Tuba obsessed girl when I met her back in June. Now within four months she's my little sister. I remember when she was so scared of texting this boy so we'd Skype all the time just so I could help her. Throughout all this boy drama happening I'll support and help you through all of it. Within all the jokes and awesome memories the best was probably about a month ago when she helped me deal with a secret and love that secret then come out as gay and she helped me land my crush. I treasure our friend ship. Happy birthday Bella!!"
I comment "Love you Aj!!! And you definitely topped Ian!"
I then take my phone off the charger and stuff it in my pocket. I put my amazing phill back pack on and then go upstairs.
My mom sits at the table with a gift bag in front of her.
"Open it!" she cheers
I open the bag first, I pull out some type of card.. a debit card??
"It has fifty dollars on it. for the money that doesn't go towards your phone bill you can put the rest you make from your job in your bank account and it'll be transferred onto that. "
I pull out another card.. a subway card.
And then there is two bottles of valve oil in the bottom of the bag.
"Thanks mom," I tell her
-----
Once I get to school seth nearly makes me pee my pants by meeting me at my locker
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" He says
"Thanks! I got valve oil!" I pretend to act excited.
"Well maybe my gift can top that?" He says handing me a small box, it's not wrapped but has a lid.
I open the lid, there lies something truly amazing.
On a silver chain is a small sousaphone charm with the word "passion" underneath it.
