TAYA’s POV :
- - - - - One Week Later - - - - -
“Taya, honey,”
This morning, I woke up to my mom’s voice calling after me. I felt the bed dip and I stirred and groaned. I slept pretty late last night because I was binge watching Stranger Things on Netflix.
And since I’m not a high school student anymore, aren’t we done with this?
“Wake up, sweetie,” she said again when I refused to open my eyes.
“Mom, what is it?” I sighed dramatically. “It’s Saturday morning… and I’m not in school anymore!”
“I know, but you have company downstairs,” she said.
Out of curiosity, I peered my eyes open. “Who?”
“Who else,” she smiled knowingly. She leaned down and kissed my forehead, saying, “Oh, and happy birthday, sweetie,”
That’s right! It’s my birthday today!
