HAPPY Birthday. I wish.. (1/2)

[A/N] This story is based on my birthday which was on May 8th this year,

A lot of not-so-great things happened, And I thought I'd just turn it into a story. After all,

I tend to think my life can be quite dramatic at times.

Maybe my readers can find out what sort of person I am. Just Maybe get to know me and my

personality better? ^ ^As you can tell, the ending of the story is not real! Just a nice way to end it with a happy ending.(the chats, lists, etc that have been put into the story are real, I have looked at pieces of the original paper, texts and conversations and inserted it into this story)May 4th, 2012 Friday.I was at school, walking from one class to the class I had for next period."hey uhmm Briana....""Yeah?""Uhh.. Nothing.""What?""Nothing, nevermind..""What is it?""Nothing!~ I forgot what I was going to say. Nevermind.""Okay then.." I was thinking of my birthday that would be coming up in 4 days. My Dad had said last night that I could invite friends over to the new

restaurant my parents had opened, for a small party celebrating My 15th Birthday.I had told my Dad that I didn't really need to and wasn't thinking of having a party, But my Dad insisted I hold one, Since I have had Birthday parties since, Um, Forever? I don't think I've ever not had one, Can't really remember a time I didn't have one.And yeah, I guess he didn't want me to have to break the tradition or anything because of my parents current financial state.

Anyways, so it was decided that I would have one, most likely. except, since I had such a round group of friends, here and there,

I really didn't know how many people to invite and who I would invite. I had counted my close friends and told my Dad that the maximum

amount of people I would possibly invite would be 12. He said "call" which was a korean slang sort of way of saying "I'm cool with that"I wanted to invite only a few close friends, because If I invited EVERYONE I knew, that would be waaay too many, giving my parents a hard time, and

If I left anyone out, that would probably upset them.But who!??! WHOOOOO? asdfsagfsgafshgdf...

I had no idea exactly who to invite yet.I didn't want to and was worried about talking to my friends about it incase I got their hopes up and ended up cancelling the whole thing.

After 2 failed attempts at asking my 2 close friends who I should invite to my party, I came home. May 5th, 2012 Saturday.It was dinner time when I was at my parents restaurant.I was back in the computer room where no one outside could hear anything here, even if the music was up loud and I was singing.I was looking at the screen that showed all the surveillance camera views, when suddenley a family came in.

I saw my friend Rosy, who is 1 year younger than me, come into the store with her family. WHAT THE? I thought. I hadn't been told that she was coming over today.I rushed outside and greeted her family, and said hi to her.Since she changed schools, I hadn't seen her for a while."Hey Jimin, can I talk to you?""Uhh sure?""lets sit over there" Rosy pointed to a round table near the wall.We started to talk and catch up.Eventually when we were eating dinner in the restaurant later, I told her it was going to be my birthday on Tuesday and I was

thinking on having a party one day early on Monday, and I asked her if she wanted to come.She asked me when and where it was, and I told her I wasn't sure, but it would probably go from 4PM after school to 6PM, In my parents shop we were currently in.She asked her Mother who did not look very pleased, but with Rosy's begging she gave in and allowed her.I told her I would text her if any plans got changed, and she agreed. May 6th, 2012 Sunday.

Since morning I had had a pretty boring day, just laying around reading fanfic updates and all, when I decided I needed to get off my lazy butt and arrange my party plans.I got a text from Georgia and we were talking about our arrangement we had to go get Bubble tea today from a near by shop, since we had had this discussion about bubble tea on Friday, and I was having a sudden craving for it.She texted me and said she was at church and after church she had to go with her homestay family to eat dimsum, so she wouldn't have time.I wasn't suprised, since she had said she might have to go somewhere after church on Friday when we talked about the whole thing. The apointment wasn't a very seriously made one either.She asked me what my plans were for Monday, because maybe we could get some then.I replied saying 'erm, birthday party? :3'and said maybe we could hang out after the party or something.She asked what time, how long etc.I said '4pm~5:30? probably. err yeah, brb talk about it with my Mom'I went downstairs and saw my parents sprawled out on the water heat mat watching television, huddled, lying together. I figured they must be in a good mood, so I asked what time the party could end. I wanted it to be decently long so I asked for 6:00 PM and they eventually agreed. I went back upstairs.  I got out a piece of paper, and wrote down names for the people I could invite.Jisoo J

Georgia

Briana C

Lisa Lee

Lisa Moyo

Elzan

actual list: after crossing out the two names for I-don't-really-know-why reasons, I decided to ask Georgia, Who

I was currently texting. I was sure I was going to invite her. She was currently one of my closest friends. Sun 2:16 PM (Me)omg. who do I invite. I dont want it to be an awkward mess. Sun 2:17 PM (Georgia)Just invite anyone you want I realised I was being sort of stupid. 'Right.' I thought, and texted her back  Sun 2:19 PM (Me)okay. thanks. I went onto the note app on my phone and wrote down a text I could copy and paste and send to all my friends as an invitation. A text came. Sun 2:27 PM (Georgia)..awkward when I just sounded like your MOM 'pfft' I giggled lightly. I copy and pasted what I had written so far and sent it to Georgia. Sun 2:27 PM (Me)I'm going to send this to people Sun 2:28 PM (Me)4pm Monday 7 May 75 Porana rd

I'm holding a small party for my birthday~

people who have been invited: Jisoo Jeong,

Georgia Zheng, Lisa Lee, Briana C, Lisa Moyo,

Kendell Fitch, Elzanne JVR, Lily Zhao Sun 2:29 PM (Me)Am I missing anyone....? Sun 2:30 PM (Georgia)dunno Sun 2:32 PM (Me)Okay then, Done~  I adjusted a few things, Added my friend Karen to the list and sent the text out to my friends I had decided to invite. I felt a whole lot less under pressure, and felt everything to do with the party had been settled. 7th May, 2012 Monday I went to school. I realised I forgot to invite my friend Fern, and I quickly arranged that she'd come. Oh yeah, and by now you might be thinking, Why didn't I make my birthday party on my actual Birthday?Well, call me a nerd but, I had a math test coming up on Wednesday this week and I felt I should attend my after school math

lessons to ask my teacher there some questions and get some revision done. Now that I think of it.. Maybe if I did, things could have turned out better. Screw my- Nevermind. The whole time at school I was thinking about my friends that were walking home with me, then riding my car to my parents restaurant to the party. It was arranged that I had Karen, Fern, And Georgia coming in my parents car with me due to no pick up or drop off.This was okay with me for some part, since I had been to Birthday parties where the birthday party hoster had to pick up and drop off a lot of the people coming to the party.
