MY BIRTHDAY?
Liya's P.O.V
Robet and Jim picked me and then we went to watch a movie, it's duration was two hours. Then we bought some new dresses for me. All the the time I was asking them why they were being so nice to me. And what if dad gets to know that they are wasting their time and money on me. But they just hushed me....
Finally at 6:00 p.m. we reached a villa that was decorated with lights. It was amazing! When we entered the place, it was all dark and before I could understand what's going on the lights switched on and I found almost all my classmates or friends shouting "SURPRISE!" I was shocked for few seconds then I found Lucy coming towards me, she hugged me and wished "happy eighteenth birthday!"
Birthday? My birthday? I completely forgot that. It's so embarrassing that I didn't realize it was my birthday. I saw my brothers standing behind with a smile on their faces. I asked them "why are you doing this? It's the day mom passed away! We should not be celebrating." Jim smiled and said "we know but we are doing this after taking dad's permission and come on stop being a s**t! After all it's your eighteenth birthday... Happiest birthday ever little sis!" I gave him a wide smile and then turned to see the decorations, it was peaceful and perfect exactly as I like. Actually I hate DJs and all. After seeing all around I turned to see my classmates, Joe was there too, standing in the crowd and staring at me. I went to all my classmates. They hugged me, wished me and that was awesome. It was the first time I was celebrating my birthday! I turned to Lucy and asked whose idea was that? She whispered in my ear "you remember Joe, Matt and I were discussing something, and I just casually said Joe that it's your birthday so he made this plan and I invited your brothers to help us." Oh is that the reason they were ignoring me. Don't think I am a fool actually I have never experience this. And apart all something that really matters to me is that Joe planned this all for me though I rejected him.
I cut the cake and everyone present there demanded for a couple dance. Everyone found their partners Robet too, why not? After all he is good at flirting. I gave a small smile to Lucy and said that can she accompany Jim for the dance but she gave me a condition and that was, I had to dance with Joe. I agreed as I have to help Jim and I too wanted to dance with him. We both walked towards our partners and both of us were lucky as we got a yes from both guys.... After dancing a bit I thanked Joe for planning such a great party. He said "don't think I am a stalker or something like that but what if I propose you again?" I gave him a teasing smile and said "you will get the answer if you propose me.. Now!" He gave me a wide smile and said "so Miss Liya Bence will you like to be my girlfriend?" It didn't took me a second to say yes! He hugged me and then we enjoyed the party after giving this good news to Lucy, Matt and Jim. Yes Jim was correct it was my happiest birthday ever!
Long day! Everyone left except Jim, Matt, Lucy and Joe. As it was a weekend tomorrow we decided to play 'scavenger hunt' . It was the first time I was playing this game, but sincerely I was enjoying a lot. I often heard that teens love playing this game but why I had no idea! Just because I never play it.... We all enjoyed the game and finally when we got tired we decided to sit and watch a movie. First I felt not to watch it, because I watched one in the morning. But later I agreed when everyone together insisted me. Actually they were good at it.

We reached home at 2 a.m., too late right? Thank goodness dad left for a trip to attend his business meeting for two days and I was safe. Or just god knows what would happen if he was there at the house... Jim and I walked ahead to our rooms. I took a quick bath then laid down on my cozy bed and to be honest I felt asleep for the very next moment. I was so tired of this party!

"Dad no!!" I begged him to stop. I was sweating, tears rolling my eyes. I wiped them off. It was a horrible dream I have never seen before. I relaxed and drank some water. It was really hard for me to describe what I saw and how horrible it was. I just prayed that the dream should never come true. It was 5 o'clock which means I had lot of time to sleep. I was shivering the whole time I couldn't sleep either. Well the dream was not about ghosts but it was worst.
The world is my stage and I have played diligently so far.
I hope to display a noble and fierce expression
of reign in the years to come.
Happy birthday to me. {A short proverb based on the episode}
