Milestone: Person

       When I was 9, a week before my birthday, I found out a family secret. When you turn double-digits, or ten, you have better luck. I don't think it's true. So when I woke up on my birthday, I smelled the sent of burning candles. I felt so happy when I raced down the stairs to find my whole family waiting for me. Yelling and cheering bounced from ear to ear. Then when I turned around all I felt was cake in my face. Everyone was laughing and I was laughing too! Then I went into my room and got changed into my party dress. When I was getting my eyeliner out I heard my door open. I couldn't believe what I was seeing, it was my best friend that I hadn't seen in 4 years! She was in Washington with her dad for some business trip. " Oh my gosh! It's really you!" We started jumping all around my room with glitter spilling off my dress with my heels about to brake off. Her hands were as cold as a penguin that just jumped out of the freezing cold water. " I missed you so much! And I even got you a present! " cheered and ran down stairs with a hop in her step. As I was waiting i finished putting my make-up. " Mal! Turn around! " she said quietly said. I turn around to see a brand new plasma screen TV! With a Jonas Brothers CD as a side present. " Oh my gosh! This is the best birthday ever! " we both smiled and went back to listening to the Jonas Brothers.
