It's almost my birthday. In 1 more week im turning 15. It's the 9th birthday that I've went without my sisters, Dad, nephews, or niece. My birthday is on September 5th. The week goes by quickly. By the time I know it's my 15th birthday. Of course I wake up to My stepdad yelling at my mom about stupid stuff! I started to think to myself if there was anyway I could get out of going to school. The reason why I didn't want to was because it was my birthday, I didn't want to get bullied by kids at school on my 15th birthday. There was nothing I could think of! I ended up going to school. It was 7:00 A.M.. So I got out my clothes that I'm going to wear. I get dressed then go brush my teeth and do my hair. I go downstairs with my stuff to wait for the bus. My mom and brother say Happy Birthday to me. The bus pulled up, so I left off for school. Everyone was whispering to eachother while staring at me. I knew they were talking about me. We made a few other stops to pick other kids up, then we were off to school. We arrive at school, I see Connor standing on the sidewalk waiting for me! As soon as I got of the bus he ran up to me screaming
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY" while he says that, he hands me a big box with a bow on it. I said
"You didn't have to get me anything."
So Connor said,
"I wanted too. I know what your going threw so I got you something for your birthday."
I said this to him,
"Thats so sweet! Thank you for the present!!"
So then I open it. It was a hoodie that said
*In memorie of my dad.* with Dylan on the back of it. I started to cry. I put it on. I thanked him almost 100 times. We walked into school and everyone started to pick on me. Calling me names, saying I was ugly. I ignored it like I always did. Then it came lunch time. They started to pick on me at the table and wont leave alone at all!!! Connor came over, there were guys and girls there bullying me. Connor said to them
"Stop bullying Andrea. You guys and alot of other people have been bullying her since 3rd grade. Plus, its her birthday. You dont know what goes in her life outside of school. Her stepdad is a retard, she never sees her niece, nephews, nor sisters!!!! Her real dad that she loved VERY much died when she was 6. So dont bully her!!"
They started to walk away and push Connor. I didnt like to see that happen to him. He is a great guy! We got threw the day. I went home and that night my stepdad and my mom were fighting, Like usal! But tonight, he took his hands and put them around my moms neck. We called the cops on him and had him aressted. That night I lay in bed thinking about everything! I remeber when they told me my dad died. I rememeber seeing my sisters cry at the funeral! I just wished everything was different and my dad never died. So then non of this would had happend! Then I would also get to see my niece and nephew. Once again, I cry my self to sleep. I put headphones on listened to sad music and looked at pictures of memories with my dad and sisters. I thought about everyone calling me ugly today. As I did that, I was texting Connor. Connor told me not to worry about it nor to cry. But I couldn't help it! I lost it even more!!!! I realized that I had another horrible birthday.. I got up to go get a drink. Then I went back to bed. I thought to myself *Does Connor really like me?* He has to like me more than a bestfriend! Thats how well I know Connor! That I know when he liks someone-something in someway!
