Maria was going to be fourteen on the
twenty-first of July! Few weeks were left so some of her friends decided to
organise a surprise party for her.
The party was organised at a hotel
hall in Sliema. It was going to be a dinner party. Lots of friends were invited
and the party was going to be quite expensive, but her friends didn’t mind. The
party was held on a Saturday evening at eight o’clock. At seven-thirty people
started arriving. Maria did not know about anything yet but her friend Amy told
her that she was going for her at seven forty-five so they would go and
celebrate her birthday.
The hall was all prepared and lots of
people were already there. In the meantime, Amy was on her way to pick up
Maria. When Amy arrived at Maria’s house, she called her and Maria got out of
the house. Maria was wearing very high heels and she had long stairs to go
down! On her way down she tripped! She fell down half the stairs. Amy went up
because she knew something had happened. When Amy saw her lying down on the
floor, she called the ambulance that got there immediately. Test results showed
that she had broken her leg and hand. She ended in hospital with a cast. The
party was cancelled and all the people were very disappointed!
Maria’s birthday party was very
disappointing! She soon found out that her friends had organised a surprise
party and was very sad and sorry for them for organizing it.
