My Best Birthday Celebration

It was the fifteenth of October, my birthday. It was the worst day of my entire life. Nobody would talk to me. My parents said that they were busy as they had to help the old lady next door. My siblings ignored me and my friends looked right through me as if I was invisible.

                                                                                                                                                      

I felt miserable. I locked myself in my room and tried to do some homework. I didn’t understand any of it. I felt hungry so I went downstairs to eat something. Mum hadn’t cooked yet so I made a sandwich. Mum said that she would go clean my room while I was eating. I felt tired so I went to sleep. I switched on the light. Surprise!! All my friends were in front of me, on my bed!

                                                                                                                                                                                                              

I didn’t even realise! All the time my family and friends were planning a surprise birthday party! My mum took us to the garage. There were streamers, ribbons and balloons everywhere. I noticed that there was our television and DVD player, as well as a sofa and sleeping bags. My mum placed the food and drinks and told us that if we needed anything we just send her a message on her phone. We watched a film, danced and sang. We also told scary stories. That was the best birthday ever!

                

I didn’t know how to thank my parents and friends. That was last month, but guess what? My friend’s mum is going to organise a party for her daughter!
