Authors Note: Be prepared for a long post!!
I woke up, and wasn’t hungry. Not really a shock, from all of the cake and well-some pizza I had. I didn’t have THAT much cake, just two pieces and some pizza.
All day, I was tired. I didn’t do much, really. Derek did come invite me over for dinner, then I came right back here.
I layed down on my side, and put my hands under my head. Today really went by fast! Why does time have to be going by so fast? Tomorrow was ALREADY my birthday! Today didn’t even seem like a day! I closed my eyes and fell asleep, dreaming about tomorrow.
Just like any other day, I woke up. This time Derek was there.
”Happy Birthday, sleepy head! It’s already 10:00 a.m!”
”Woah! Already? And, thanks!”
”Want anything for your birthday?”
”No! I didn’t get you anything, it wouldn’t be fair.” I was right for once, it wouldn’t be fair.
”Yeah, it would. Oh, well…. Want to go to the park?”
”Sure!”
We ran all the way down to the park, and the first thing we went to was the swings. We stayed there for a few hours and just talked. While I was swinging, I noticed someone who looked new to the town.
”Hold on a second” I told Derek, and ran over to the person.
”Hi, my name is Clair” I told him.
”Hi Clair, my name is Matt. Nice to meet you!” he shook my hand, smiling.
”It’s always good to meet someone new! So, Matt, do you want me to show you around? Anywhere you need to get to?”
”Well, I think I made it to my location, it is my birthday, so I think I am going to have it here….thanks, though, maybe you could show me around some other time?”
”Happy Birthday! What a coincidence, my birthday is today too!”
”Wow! Thanks, and Happy Birthday!”
”Thanks!”
We continued talking for a long time. We just became friends, were making funny faces, and got each others numbers, when Derek interuppted.
”Well, it’s already 3. Let’s go.”
”Oh, well bye Matt, it was nice meeting you!” I said.
”Nice meeting you too, Clair, bye!”
This time, we took a taxi, and we didn’t end up where we came from.
‘Where are we going?”
”You’ll see.” he answered.
I waited for a while, then realized that he was taking me to a restaurant.
”Oh no” I mumbled.
I seen him smile out of the corner of my eye.
We got out and walked up to the restaurant.
”What do you want?”
”Nothing”
”Clair-get something!”
”No”
”Don’t be so stubborn–now get something!”
”Fine, a hamburger?”
”That’s all?”
”Yeah..”
”Fine”
He went up and ordered and I looked around at the restaurant. I really don’t get why people like it so much. It’s just like any other restaurant. He came back with the food and we ate. I felt bad, he takes me out to eat, and I didn’t do anything for him, I didn’t even give him anything! I guess I would just have my birthday at the park. I’ve been there a lot and it is actually a good place, it’s better than-the place where I slept.
”Derek, I think I am going to have my birthday at the park…” I said.
”The park? Alright.”
We went over to the park and I waited until it was time.
Of course Derek was the only one that was there. Besides, Matt, who was over on the other side of the park. It was time. I felt a little bit of change, but not much. I was now a young adult. I actually felt like a teen still. Like, I was still 17. But, I wasn’t.
I was excited when the time was near for me to become a young adult. But, when it was happening, I was actually terrified. I was terrified because now that I was a young adult, I would need to have a job, and a house… Because of my difficulties in school, I didn’t get to pick my own trait. So, the trait I got was never nude. I don’t like the clothes, but I will have to deal with them.
”Well-”
”Clair! How is it being 18?” asked Matt, who must have just gotten over here.
”It’s fine..” I replied, ”How is it for you?”
”It’s like I’m still 17…”
”Yeah, that’s how it is for me too”
”Well, how about we go somewhere? To celebrate? As friends?” Matt asked.
”Oh, sure!! Hey, Derek, thanks for..everything! I’ll talk to you later!” I told him.
”Oh. Um, sure…see you..” he looked as if he wanted to tell me something, but didn’t get the chance to. Matt was already running ahead of me, rushing me.
”So, where do you want to go?” he asked, ”The Theatre?”
”Sure!”
So, we ran over across the street to the Theatre. When we walked out after the show, I saw Derek. He was still at the park, but two things were wrong. First I saw him swipe something. Then, I saw him with someone. And, it looked a lot like Angela. Matt, then did something that I wasn’t expecting…
personally, i feel kinda bad for Derek. its kinda obvious that he likes her.
Or does he? Lol I will explain it all at the end of the story.
awwww!!!! How cute! I love this Matt guy and I think he will be better for Clair. Though i do feel sorry for derek lol
I think Matt will also be a lot better for her, but remember what Derek did a while back? What if he could have been lying?
awwww thats soo cute!
I felt kinda sad at dereks face before he goes kissing THAT girl!
Yep
THAT girl is Angela, Clair’s sister. It might be a little confusing right now, but I will explain it all at the end
He does look sad! T_T I’m a bad person! XO He was Clair’s first friend after all. The first person who noticed her good traits -.-….But why’s he with Angela? He’s a klepto?! He must be secretly in love with her or something. . Or maybe he was miffed and did *that* on purpose. ahhh clair…~
She looks pretty though, yes?!
What if he was ACTING like he was sad? Yeah, he was her friend, or was he? Matt maybe noticed her good traits second, but that doesn’t mean he is taking advantage of her traits like SOMEONE did. You’ll see why he was with Angela soon, and yes he is a klepto. Sorry, I didn’t say much about that when he grew up into a young adult. I actually am doing all of this on a different computer so I had to hurry and get everything caught up. Yes, she does look pretty
And you aren’t a bad person, you’ll feel better later on, trust me, it will all be explained
