Fia's POV
I couldn't tell what it was but something about turning eighteen was just exhilarating. The air suddenly become so fresh and I felt something that surged in me. I liked the feeling. It wasn't bad so I wouldn't think much of it.
Fia got out of bed and walked to her closet. She had plans of going shopping with her bestfriend, Tanya and she didn't want to be late as that was what she always did. She remembered Tanya scolding her one time when she got extremely late for class. Tanya was a very nice person but when she gets angry, she's a whole other person. Her phone rang and she just knew who it was without looking at the screen. She ignored it, dressed and run downstairs
'What are you looking at?' Fia asked her friend who was looked at her with a confused expression.
' I. Don't. Know. What. it. Is, but you kinda look very different' Tanya said still trying to decipher what has changed
' I would look different girlfriend. I'm eighteen' Fia squealed and hugged her friend.
' Your mom, does she know we are going out?'
' She doesn't. She didn't come yesterday. I tried calling her but she wouldn't pick up. I woke up dawn to her text saying she's be home by noon'
'I hope everything is fine with her. She's been acting quite differently off late'
' I thought it was just me. She smiles and tell me nothing is wrong so….'
' It is your big day today, nothing else matters. Happy birthday to the most beautiful best friend in the world!!! I love you' Tanya yelled grabbing Fia's hand to join her in the car.
