Chapter 1; Birthday Girl

I never was much of a "birthday girl", but I felt as if today was my big day - me becoming a teenager after all. All of my friends from my old middle school are at my house, including the friends that I had just made at Lakewater Crest. (I know right? Even the NAME sounds cheesy.) Anyway, my mother has this issue with me dating at early ages, and over the years we made a compromise. I would wait to date at the earliest age possible; thirteen.

This agreement never bothered me, though my mom still asks the horrifying question; "Do you LIKE ANY BOYS lately?" However, the answer is always no. This answer is not technically correct. When I moved to Lakewater Crest, there is this one boy named Luke who always made me laugh. The move was very hard on me considering all of the stuff I had to go through to get there. Luke was the only one who really understood me. He had just moved to Lakewater so it was new to both of us. 

I didn't have the guts to invite him to my party.

That brings me back to my birthday. Thirteen years old. Wow. One problem though... all of my guests are outside having the time of their lives playing board games in the snow when I'm up here eating crackers and drawing freaky cartoons. Best birthday ever! At least it WAS until my Mom (aka the ultimate best friend) blasts into my warm room and lets the cold outside air surround my body."MOOOOOOOM" I shouted, my face turning crimson as the chilled breeze flushes me. "Heyyy don't you 'MOM' me missy! Your friends are here for a reason!" she exclaimed, wrapped in blankets. "You look like an onion with all those layers!" I countered. 

"Maybe I can give you some of them if you join your party!"

"Are you bribing me with blankets?"

"Maybe... so what'dya say?"

"I'll take you up on that offer."

Mom was grinning from ear to ear. She took my hand and dragged me outside, giving me a few of her many blankets. "After this we are gonna need some new blankets!" Me and Mom giggled at the statement and walked toward the other girls. At the moment they were sitting around the circular table, deep in their monopoly game. Two of the girls Charlie and Lexi stood up and welcomed me."Yo Sky!" Charlie greeted me. Lexi also acknowledged my existence with a warm embrace. Most of the others were so focused in the game that they barely glanced up. 

The party had went by so fast I felt as if I had blinked and it was over. Mom came into the kitchen where I sat, longing for more of the velvet birthday cake. It was custom made with chocolate icing on the top that said 'HAPPY 13TH BIRTHDAY SKY'. This was my first ever personalized cake. I felt so special. My Mom came into the room and followed my gaze to find what I was hardcore staring at. "Hey kid, you ok?" Mom asked. "Of course I am! Why wouldn't I be?" "Because your eyes are gonna fall out if you don't eat some more of that cake." We broke out laughing. Mom tried and failed to get the television set on. I walked over and kicked the box twice and it started up. "YOUR MAGICAL" my Mom said in an corky tone. 

I glided back towards the cake and questioned how many scoops of toffee-flavored ice cream she wanted with her slice. When both of our bowls were filled to the rim with toffee ice cream, we sat down on the tan couch and proceeded to watch 'Funny Face'. 

By the end of the movie we both were in deep cake-comas. 

Me and my Mom slept on the couch on my 13th birthday. I'm totally gonna remember this day.
