Fifteen

I admit it. I was surprised.
For me, it was just another pack of the usual ordinary day fully equipped with humors and gossips to be heard again from mouths of the most definitely proved chatterboxes inside the school campus. But hell ye, I was wrong!
Woosh! The gleaming sunlight hit my face and I decided to quickly open the slits of my eyes, acting as if I had been awoken from a very bad nightmare. The warm morning sun rays penetrated unto my skin like a rushing fire. Still in some kind of unconsciousness, I stretched my hands upward and faintly shouted “Praise the Lord!”
I raised my pillow only to find my phone bombarded with messages and is still constantly ringing in its topmost breath. Now, I wonder what my textmates are up to this early. Irritatingly, I checked my inbox and opened Lyka’s message, “HAPPY BIRTHDAY GARD!”. Sweet nibblits! Was I just frantic or busy these days that I have inconsolably forgotten my birthday? I hurriedly replied a simple thank you.
Thinking that was my special day, I went off to school wearing a big smile on my face. As I pushed my way forward our classroom, I smiled at Rhea and Edilou and in return they just smiled back at me as if not knowing what this day was. Well, I just sat there chatting along with the two of them while waiting for the others. We talked alright but when my other classmates came, I was squeezed in the middle of the crowd because of their hugs and greetings. Isn’t it sweet?
The early morning passed and recess time came. As I turned around from a conversation with K.C., Jumong and May-May, I saw Apple waving at me almost giving me a sign to come down to her. When I approached her, she gave me box and told me that it was a gift from her and J.R. happily thanking Apple, I detached the cellophane that covered the box. And there it was, a blue tee with a cute graphical design and a letter from Apple. Oh Apple! She never really forgets my birthday. I got another gift from my family the day after and it was beautiful.
In the end of the day, I thanked everybody for such a lovely Thursday. I’m fifteen already! (laughs) [^_^]
