On Friday, February 24th, I had a sleepover at my house with all my girls. We had lots of fun watching Bridesmaids, eating pizza, and talking on Skype with some of our guy friends. We all slept at 2 in the morning because we couldn’t stop talking! In the morning when we woke up, we had our usual which we always eat at my house; pancakes, Nutella, apples, pears and orange juice! I had an idea in mind for my birthday. I asked everyone if they were free tomorrow (today) to hang out at my place. They said they were really busy and couldn’t come and the boys answered the same. Then I asked them if they wanted to go shopping today (Saturday) and then they said they couldn’t.
After every one had left, I got into the shower, put on sad music and cried and cried and cried. I cried until there was no fluid in my body left. After I got out of the shower, my parents saw me crying. They questioned me, wondering why. I started cursing my friends and saying how I they didn’t care about me and couldn’t even spare an hour for my birthday.
Then, to make me feel better, my parents took me out to get my nails done. As I was getting my nails done, Monica called me and asked me if I wanted to come to her house. I said okay (even though I wasn’t in the mood). I finished doing my nails and ended up getting really mad because I knew my nails had dried so I started talking to my friends on BBM but within fifteen minutes, the middle finger on my right hand had been chipped. I hated everyone for just that one minute in my life. I was already having a miserable day; how much more miserable could it get?
After finishing shopping for groceries with my parents, I went to Monica’s house. She came downstairs wearing a floral top, shorts and really nice studded hoops; she looked like she was going to a party (if only she had added heels!). All I was wearing was jeans, brown flats, and a brown and purple floral top and with me a Coach purse. Not so much going to a party but more like a lunch. As we are going up the elevator, I ask her if we can watch a movie. Her penthouse has a beautiful view and a awesome TV room so I thought might as well take advantage of it.
As we are going up the stairs to go to her party deck type balcony, I hear laughing. She suddenly says, “They ruined it” but I was like huh? I didn’t really get it. I thought it was her parents because I recalled her saying that her parents were having a lunch so I thought that that must have been her parents and their friends. But, as soon as her balcony is in view, all of my friends come out and shout, “SURPRISE! HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY!” to me. I couldn’t help but beam and be shocked.
Soon, Monica told me that my parents knew! When we were sitting in my room in the morning at my house during our sleepover, Ximena had gone into the kitchen to quickly and secretly tell my mom about the plans. I was so happy! Everything was there; the cake, cupcakes with a strawberry jam filling, music, and best of all….PRESENTS! Even the guys knew what to get me (jewelry of course!).
I felt like the luckiest girl in the world and I am for having such great friends! I love you all!
