I am glad that another 365 days has almost come. I would be twelve in a few hours, and I am super excited about it. My parents never fail to celebrate me on my birthdays. My birthdays are my happiest moments. I receive lots of gifts from family and friends every year.
I am optimistic that this year's celebration would be bigger and better. I had already given my mum a list of things I would need. A new pair of Louis Vuitton shoes, Victoria secret pink gown, and many other accessories that would make me more attractive that my invitees.
Yeah! I have a new boyfriend, and I am sure he would show up at my birthday party. I need to impress him and show him I am the best girlfriend he can ever have. Phew! I'm super excited. My birthday would hold in the sitting room tomorrow, and I already told my parents to excuse my friends and me after my cake is diced. They would let us do our thing without intruding. I plan to introduce David to my friends officially. I can't wait to see my classmates look at me with their envious eyes and wish they were me.
David is not a handsome boy. What attracted me to him is his intelligence. David is super smart. He helps me with my arithmetic and sums, and in one of those personal tutorials, we got talking intimately. I might be twelve, but I correctly understand intimacy. My kind of intimacy is the kind that David gives to me. He talks to me about mathematics and how it can help me in the future. After that, he tells me he loves my developing breast and wishes he had breasts too. He was joking. He jokes a lot. Well, that's my kind of guy.
He never attempts to touch me while we are in class alone. He is a year older but doesn't show any form of superiority on me. He is gentle and caring. I remember when I came to school in the rain, he offered his shirt and wore mine. He gave me his sweater too. I was convinced in my heart that he would be my boyfriend, and we would get married eventually.
Back to my birthday party…
I'm dressed for the party, and I'm guessing David would appear in a blue suit. His favourite colour is blue. My dress is blue so we would appear in a matching outfit. My classmates and senior friends would be at the party too.
Its time for the party, and I am geared up. Some of my friends have arrived, but I am particularly concerned about one person-David. As I dance around the sitting room, I look around, waiting for him to arrive. I smile at my friends and parents, but it does not come from my heart.
David walks in but calls me out almost immediately. I am elated as I wonder if he has a special gift for me. I walk out and move to under the mango tree to see Tracy, the girl in grade 5. David introduces Tracy to me as his girlfriend. 'I just thought to let you know that I have a girlfriend.' This revelation broke me. I was going to introduce David as my boyfriend now.
Hmmmm….my twelfth birthday party got ruined. I doubt that I would ever trust any man.
