"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Kaylaaa, happy birthday to youuu!!" My mother sings in my ear as she always does on the morning of my birthday, while huddling up to me."morning mother" I reply vaguely, because i'm half asleep."morning sweety, can you please get out of bed so you get ready for your birthday party?"she asked, I sigh "Yes mother" I reply as I get out of bed and she soon follows.
As I get ready for the party later, I get this eerie feeling i'm being watched, but it soon disappears when I start to brush my hair. Once i'm done getting ready I look as if i'm about to head to a ball with my teal gown that is em-bordered with purple petals and my earrings dangle down from my ears that are similar to the purple petals on my dress, and I wore an opal butterfly necklace along with these six inch heels that were beige and had topaz colored gems on it, I also wore my mom's Italian leather bag from when she went to Europe it has butterfly's and flowers on it. When my friends start to arrive i squeal, because I don't see them often since Covid-19. My first friend that arrived is pretty much my best friend named Taryn, why do I say that she is pretty much my best friend? I say that because to me all of my friends are my best friends. I don't have tons of friends due to that fact that i have known all of my friends since elementary school, and i have stuck with them since, but i wont lie me and Taryn are a bit closer than the rest of my friends. The next friend of mine to arrive was my closest friend in grade 5 is Ross "Heeeeyy!!" she exclaims as she run up to me and hugs me, "hey dude how's it going" i say as i urk with excitement. "As good as it could be" she states, i chuckle and think classic Ross. My brother soon pops his head out of his room and says "hi Ross how have you been?" Ross nods her head in response "that's good. " Nate says as he ruffles my hair "dude! Well that is a great way to ruin my hair" I sarcastically exclaim while glaring at him. I look back at ross"Well dude let's get you in a dress, though I know you dont want to because you rather wear a suit, but you have to, too please my mother." I exaggerate "it is fine as long as I'm not in the dress for too long." She states, I chuckle at her remark. Just as I finish chuckling my childhood friend Cole steps inside my house wearing the sleek black dress that we picked out yesterday, the dress has one large strap and the fabric Is in a ruffled pattern like a crinkle chip, and it also has gold beads spread across the chest of the gown, and some sleek black heels to go with it. "Heeey" Cole says shiley, because cole is a introvert who grew up on a farm and she is my favorite introvert! "There is my favorite childhood friend!" I say as I hug her."Stop your going to make me blush." Cole declares I giggle "I have always had been good at teasing you." I say while looking at my brother, by now she was bright red, I giggled again. She looks at me expectantly "okay!! Fine I will stop." Once we all are ready we all hop in the car, and drive to the restaurant.
A short drive later we arrive at the restaurant, my friends and I all huddle into the Chinese restaurant. We start to settle in are seats but there is not enough room for all of us, Ross insists that she sits with Coles dad and my papa (grandpa, I know it is French for dad but I have always been told to call him that.) I glare at her because i she knows there is an open seat next to me. Suddenly I notice this strange girl in red across the restaurant and that her mother is hugging mine, I wonder who is that? What is her name? Why is she here?My curiosity is begging to rise to the surface. It is begging me to have those questions answered.
