The slick texture of the red lipstick swiped across my smooth lips. I made a popping noise as I blendedy lipstick. I clamped my mouth shut before tossing the black stick into my purse. I stared at my reflection.

Brooklyn Richards.

Someone so close to perfection stared back at me. So close to being accepted. Once I step put of this bathroom and enter the school, you are officially 16. I prized myself with a straight forward smile before shashying out of the ladies bathroom. Let my birthday. Begin.

"Party is tonight. Hope to see you there." I hand a cheeky smile to a senior boy with brown hair. He gladly took the birthday party invitation from my hand and talked about it with his buddies. Soon the word about my party will spread like a wildfire. My expectations are high. This will the best sweet 16 ever. "Brooks!" Squealed an all too familliar voice. Sherlyn, My best friend ever since middle school ran up to me.

"Happy birthday!" She squeaked. Her rose colored curls framed her face perfectly, making her green eyes pop against her fair freckled skin. She wore a green emerald dress with a black leather belt, a gold buckle, and black heels. "Sherry!" I excitedly laughed as she wrapped me into a warm embrace.

"A sweet 16, don't mind if I do." She said with a sly smirk as she swiped an invitation. I sighed and rolled my eyes. "Help me pass these out?" I questioned. She took half of the stack of invitations. Should I give one to your boyyyyfriend." She sing songed, mentioning my crush.

Henry Jones. He plays regionals for our basketball team the Bumble Bees and he's super cute. I get flustered whenever I'm near him. "No!" I squeaked, cheeks burning with embaressment as I remebered his long black curls and brown eyes. "Your right. You should invite him yourself." She said with a wink before scurrying off. "Sherry!" I whined. Her retreating figure to far away from her to hear my complaints.

I sighed before I continued to pass put my invites, sadly being distracted by the one boy I wished to have one day. My heels snapped against the grainte cold floor as I made my way to 6th period, passing invites to anyone I saw. I needed this party to be a hit. As I entered math class I saw my fellow peers all sitting in their seats, talking to a friend.

I walked over and handed one to Theodore, One of my best friends. He helps coach with the sports set ups and the boy's training sessions. "Yo Brook." He said with a small wave. "Teddy." I said with a smirk. I handed him the invite. "Happy birthday chica." He said as he sat on his desk. As I began to retreat towards my desk I heard him speak up. "Question." He said, grabbing my attention. I turned toward him.

"Sí?"

"Can we invite a friend."

"Duh."

"Then count I'll be there." He said with a wink. I only rolled my eyes and sat at my desk, waiting for my last class to begin.
