THURSDAY - any of her friends!
A surprise birthday party! Just! For! Her!
Okay, it wasn’t really a surprise, seeing as she’d been dropping hints all week that they should have one. And they weren’t so much hints as they were her just saying they should have one. And yet, when she walked into the rec room her hands still went to her cheeks as her mouth formed an ‘O’. She’d been looking forward to this for months.
It wasn’t like it was some big thing. There was a cake, and there were her friends, and there were some balloons and presents. But it was still magical to her, one more amazing thing about being here.
