" Happy birthday dear Nolan happy birthday to you!!!! Happy 14th birthday!!!" I blow out my candles as my friends and family clap around me. I smile as I cut a piece of the vanilla ice cream cake and set it on the paper plate. My mom runs back into the living room to grab her phone once she has it she huddles me and my friends together to snap a few pics. Then once again with my grandparents and with my sister and a final time with her and my dad. Once the photo session is over I pull off the cheesy birthday hat and take a seat at the dining table with my friends as the adults mingle in the kitchen.
"Congrats, Noels now you can finally join the 14 squad." My friend Eric says while recording me on Snapchat. I give a cheesy smile before pushing the phone out of my face.
"Hey, guys let's take a picture," Kirsten says as she pulls out her phone along with a selfie stick from her bag. She attaches the phone and lifts it up before taking a burst of photos.
"Okay, no more pics I'm done for the night," I say jokingly as I stand up from the table to head to the bathroom. I make a beeline to the upstairs bathroom to the far end of the house and once there I lock the door and take a seat on the toilet seat before whipping out my phone. The first app I go to Is Snapchat. I check my friend's stories and see them all filled with the same thing. Birthday wishes for me and videos of my party. I grin to myself before clicking on Irvette's story. I study the selfie she took of herself along with a 9:02 p.m time stamp sticker. I hold the picture as I look at her big brown eyes hidden behind those large glasses of hers. Her hair is in two buns today instead of her usual twists and she's sporting a fake nose ring along with golden stud earrings. Why does she look so good. I think to myself before sending her a message.
Hey Irvin why does ur hair look like you've been dragged through a bush and ur glasses are crooked Send. I send the message before heading to her Instagram. I need to stop stalking her! I don't know what's wrong with me. I like her so much yet I'm so rude to her. I guess I'm mean because that's the only way I'll be able to grab her attention. I go to her page and scroll through her photos. I see a new one that was uploaded a few hours ago. In the photo are her and a boy with their arms linked together as they smile jubilantly. Huh who the fuck is that?! Feeling a tad jealous I click on his tag and look through his insta page. It's filled with nothing but selfies of himself and or photos with him posing next to a beautiful girl. I ruffle my brows trying to figure out how my sweet Irvette got into contact with this human scum. Before I have time to do more digging on this guy I get a notification on snap from Irvette. My heart flutters a bit as I rush to open it.
Irvette: I'd really appreciate if you would #1 stop calling me Irvin #2 what do you know about black 4c hair? That's incredibly rude and for future advice never talk about a black women's hair disrespectibely because you have no idea how much work it takes and #3 making fun of my appearance as a whole is not cool! If you don't like the way I look then keep it to yourself and or simply unfriend me. Thank you.
My fingers however above the screen. I ponder whether I should reply or not but instead I close the app. I shove my phone back in my pocket. I think she's really pissed at me. But why can't I just speak to her normally? Why am I so rude to her? Maybe I'm too scared to admit my feelings to her so I disguise them behind a false facade... Or maybe I'm just being a 14-year-old boy.
