Isla POV
For the party, we had to set up the balloons, "happy birthday" banner, the food, the tables, the stage (cus the party is in a hall).
We were put in to groups.
Parents are working on the food, banners, tables.
Children are going to be working on the music and stage.
But they coudn't start because there was a family missing.
"I'm here!" The mom yelled, breathless, "Sorry, we're late. There was so much traffic."
The boy.
The boy.
The boy.
He's going to kill me.
I'll just hide. He won't notice me right?
We got into our places. I carried a little girl. Don't worry I knew her. She's about 6 years old and she's called Lyn.
She has wavy, shiny, black hair. And a very cute face.
"Lyn, when that boy comes," I pointed at Earl, "cover my face with my hair, okay?"
She nodded.
We went up to the stage and set up bits and pieces. The kids were just messing about with the bits and peices, so we older children had to do all the work. Except Lyn because she was with me all the time because I was carrying her.
I told Lyn to get off me for a bit because I needed to help to put up the lights. I'm currently with Alex because
we're the only older people there.
Lucky me, Earl was helping with the tables. I was up on a chair and Alex passing me the fairy light. I have no idea, why we're doing this without an adult.
Once I finished putting it up, I tried to jump down.
Nope. That had to fail too.
I'm gonna jump with both legs. Unluckily, my right leg got stuck on the arm of the chair.
Alex got both of his arms out, ready to catch me. I landed with my belly on his hands.
He gripped his hand tighter around my waist. Then, he started spinning me around.
There I was, looking like a dying walrus, but laughing my head off, waving my hands and feet around, begging him to let go of me.
When he was spinning me around, I had a quick glance of the kids and they were doing hearts with their hands and doing kissy faces.
Once I get down, I'm gonna tickle their heads off.
Alex did about 7 turns as quick as he could. But he got really dizzy too.
Once I got down, the world was so blurry. The world was so shaky. The world was two, three, four?
I sat down on the chair, that I used to put up the fairy light.
"You're so weird, I swear," I said, chuckling but so dizzy.
"That's my job," he said, giving a little smirky smile.
Every kid approached us.
"Ooooooooohhhhhhhhhh," they teased,"Alex and Isla sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-"
Once they finished with the N, I started ticking them all the best that I could.
They started tickling me back too. Wait. Where's Alex?
I saw that he was helping the little kids tickle me? He was on right side of the stage. I was on the left side of the stage.
"Okay, Lyn you go on te left side," Alex whispered, "Jen, you go to the right side."
I think he thought that he was whispering very quietly. Nope. I think everyone heard him.
He was too busy talking to the 2, he didn't see me planning too.
"ATTACK!" I shouted.
All the kids on my team, started tickling Alex. Even Lyn and Jen started ticking him.
"Kids! Please get on, on what you're supposed to do!" A mom shouted, nicely.
Earl came up on the stage.
"Lyn," I directioned her to come to me.
I carried her, facing away from Earl. I took a quick glance back.
Alex and Earl giving each other a bro hug?
No.
They can't be friends.
Few hours have passed. I stayed with the little kids because they were playing minecraft on my phone.
Alex and Earl were over on the left side. The hall was looking amazing. It was white and blue themed too. I remebered my 7th birthday.
I miss Philippines.
We haven't had a vacation to Philippines in 3 years.
"Children, time to go now," another mom said,"come back in 2 hours for the party."
The party will be at 5:30 pm.
Our family travelled home, which took us 10 minutes.
I was too excited to not try on my dress. Once I got home, I entered the house and went straight upstairs. I took the gown out of my closet and tried it on.
"Wow, Isla, you look beautiful," Mom complimented. "Now get it off, we have to put your make up on and the foundation might get on the dress."
I took it off and found something random in the closet and put it on.
My mom put loads of stuff on my face. I don't even know what thing they are.
All I knew, was that there is loads of make up on my face.
I put on the pure white gown.
"Stunning," mom complimented again.
"Mom!" I shouted.
"What?" She hesitated.
"You haven't even got ready yet!"
She paused for a moment, thinking what I just said. She rushed down to te next room, which was my parents' room.
*Skip to when it's time to leave*
"Isla, it's time to leave!" She informed me.
I walked down the stairs, slowly because of my dress. My mom looked at my shoes.
"Isla..." She calmly said," please wear some heels."
"No, I want to wear these," I complained "Plus they won't see it under my dress."
She just shrugged.
I enetered the car. Time to go!
