Birthday Disaster
Bring bring bring “I guess I have to get up, wait a second today I’m 10!” I said excitedly. “Lily wake up and
happy birthday” my mom shouted from downstairs. “I am and thanks” I said back. Alright where is that shirt I was going to wear I thought to myself. “I can’t find it anywhere” I said. “Mom do you know where my shirt for today went?” I asked. “It’s in the dirty clothes” she said. “Why does this have to happen on my birthday?” I said. I walked into the kitchen and asked my dad “What’s for breakfast?” as I sat down at the counter. “Um, granola bar I guess” he said. “What about a bagel?” I asked. “We don’t have anymore” he said. “How could this day get any worse” I said. “Lily 10 minutes to catch the bus” my mom told me. “Alright” I said “I don’t think I will be ready in time”. “You have to make the bus I can’t drive you today.” my mom said. Then I asked my dad if, he could take me to school. He said he had a meeting so he couldn’t. I went up the stairs and into my bedroom. Although I didn’t find the shirt I wanted to wear it was alright. I finished getting ready and got in the car. “I am going to be late the bus comes at 6:45 it is 6:42” I said to my mom. We were so lucky we got to the bus stop just as the bus pulled up. I said bye to my mom. Then I ran up to the bus and sat down in my seat next to
Katie. “Hey Katie” I said. “Hi” she said back. The bus was really dark. You could barely see the people sitting in front of you. Katie and I didn’t talk for the rest of the ride. I could tell she was tired. She would doze off and then when we went over a bump she would wake up. The bus ride is really long about an hour. I was really surprised when my best friend Katie didn’t even notice that today was my birthday. We finally got to our school. Katie and I got off and walked inside. “Brrr” I said. “It’s freezing” Katie said back to me. Once we got inside I was really surprised. I saw so many of my friends but they only said hi to me. I knew that they knew about my birthday. “This is wierd” I accidentally said out loud. “What is?” my other friend Clara asked. “Nevermind” I said back. The bell finally rang and it was time to go to class. Squeaks of shoes filled the halls. Once I got through the crowd of kids I headed down the hallway. I unpacked my backpack and sat down at my desk. Then the announcements came on. They announced the birthdays “Cami Bauer, Luke Roym, and Lindsay Karsch are all celebrating a birthday”. It’s my birthday too I thought to myself. “Happy Birthday Lindsay!!” Everybody said. Lindsay and I were not friends at all we were more like enemies. Here’s the bad part we share a birthday. “Class please get out your whiteboards” my teacher Mrs. Zinser told us. We got out our whiteboards and “OWWWW” I said. “What happened Lily?” Mrs. Zinser asked. “I smashed my finger in my
desk”, I said and of course Lindsay started laughing at me. “Clara can you walk with Lily to get some ice from the office?” Mrs. Zinser asked. “Sure” Clara said. “My finger really hurts” I said to Clara. “I bet” she said to me. “This has been the worst birthday ever” I said. “Wait today is your birthday? Clara asked. “ You didn't know?” I asked. When we finally got some ice “this is really cold” I said. I almost ran back to my classroom. I couldn’t wait for this day to be over. But before I knew it, it was time for lunch. I went back to my locker to get my lunchbox but it wasn’t there. “Great” I said. “I hate school lunch” I said. “Maybe I don’t have to get lunch” I accidentally said out loud. Once we finally got to the lunchroom of course Emily (Lindsay’s best friend) was asking if they could sing happy birthday to Lindsay. “Happy birthday to you happy birthday to you happy birthday dear Lindsey happy birthday to you” everyone started singing. I stood in the lunch line forever. I ended up getting grilled cheese because it was the only thing that looked kind of good. I finally found a open seat. “Ewww” I said as I picked up my weird feeling grilled cheese. Once lunch was over we headed back to my classroom. “I can’t wait to play in the snow” I said. I opened my locker hoping to find my snowpants. But they weren’t there. “No” I said. Instead I got my coat, boots, hat, and gloves on and went to my desk. “Please line up” Mrs. Zinser told us. I lined up and we went outside. It was actually getting warmer outside. I went over to the swings
and just sat there nobody really cared that I was all alone. I didn’t want to do anything. I wished we didn’t have recess. When I heard the whistle I was so happy. I ran to the door and we went inside. My class and I walked to our classroom and went to our desks. “We are going to read until the end of the day” Mrs. Zinser said. “Yay” we all said. I was reading and my head started really hurting. After a while “please put your books away and pack up” Mrs. Zinser told us. I packed up and just then the bell rang. I walked to the bus. It took forever. When I finally got onto the bus my seat was full, so I had to sit in the front. Sitting in the front is so annoying. When we finally started moving I went to get out my homework but it wasn’t there. “I left my homework at school. “Oh no” I said. I can do it tomorrow I thought to myself. I closed my backpack and waited to get to my bus stop. Before I knew it I was there. I had to walk home because my mom wasn’t home yet. My mom and dad got home really soon after I did. We had Baked potato soup for dinner which I really like. We did have ice cream after dinner. Then my mom and dad watched T.V as I read. I opened a few presents. I did get the books I wanted. Then it was time for bed. I went up to my bedroom. My mom and dad said happy birthday. Then I fell asleep.
