As Jane's birthday seems not to far.....
On one occasion during class, Jane came to school with her friends Alexa and Ruth, it's usually her and Archie that comes to school together on Wednesdays since their homes aren't to far apart, Alexa and Ruth sense's something absurd about the whole issue.
" What's up Jane where's Archie..." Ruth said. Jane glared at her before responding.
" I don't know where he is, if he wanted me to know his whereabouts, he would have sent a message."
After few minutes, Archie comes to school with Maya a new girl as if that wasn't enough Jane begins to hear all sort of thing's from people, that's she's ungrateful, she doesn't care about her brother, she's selfish, pathetic, fake and other things about her and Archies friendship, Jane asks him if he has anything to do with it considering the fact they are already having a misunderstanding and this is a way for him to get back at her, but he says nothing. During school hours Jane keeps on reflecting on what people has been saying especially concerning what happened on her parents demise but what they were saying weren't totally true, as her friend's tried to comfort her she felt more down. Priscilla a classmate is also around Jane trying to comfort her when she said she knows who's spreading this bad stuff about her.
"Who's that?" Jane glared at her in suspense and anger. Priscilla gets frightened by Jane's glaring eyes but still says her mind that mentions Maya's name, she said it's the girl that came with Archie, that has been spreading such stuff.
" Can't you see or notice that it's ever since she's been her that all this rumors started growing wings..." Priscilla said. Jane became so angry and decides to confront Maya but withdraws and decides to talk with Archie instead.
"Archie, Archie" Jane called out.
" Hey what's up, you look worried..." He said
" I'm more than just worried I heard that your so called friend Maya has been the one saying all this nonsense stuff going around about me, and I'm wondering how she got a hold on stuff information about all this.. stuff, I and only my friends Ruth , Alexa and Cassie when she was here knew truly happened on the night of my parents demise and no one knows anything ever since then.."
" So what are you insinuating" Archie glares at her and Jane's turns and whisper's a sigh.
"Are you saying I told her... I would never do that Jane, you know how dear I hold you, that I would even be ready to fight and defend you in anything considering what we both have shared and being through.. I'm so hurt that you would consider such things about me..." Archie said in a low tone looking down.
" I'm not saying anything, I'm just hurt also by what am hearing, Archie" Jane says in a low manner, seeing how devasted and hurt she is. Archie leans in for a hug and tears rolls out of her eye's.
Later in the day Archie confronts Maya about the rumors being spread and all she said is " she's just trying to catch a little fun, and the school looked boring and wanted to spice up a little bit and all she had and took advantage of is Jane..." this made Archie more upset.
" I'm just disappointed really, Maya if you wanted something fun, you should have spoken up earlier.." he takes a fork and tries to stab Maya's hands.
"Is this fun?" He asks. But all she does is laugh, this makes him more angry, he walks out and calls her a physco.
" If you weren't my cousin I would have sent you packing straight back to your home, but because of mom I'll just let this slide" he hisses and walks off.. Maya rolls her eyes.
However after weeks passsed the rumor grew old, Maya apologized to Jane also due to Archie's request. Jane's birthday is just 2 days away. They had been planing a surprise party for weeks, carefully coordinating every detail to ensure that everything pulls off without a hitch.
On the morning of her birthday, Jane woke up to find a trail of petals leading from the bedroom to the kitchen , where a delicious breakfast spread awaited her. As she sat down to eat her friends Alexa, Ruth, Archie, Jeremy and Aunty kate burst through the door, a huge grin on her face.
" Happy birthday, Jane! " they all exclaimed , handing her a beautifully wrapped gift". "We have a big day planned for you, so get ready for some surprises!" Jane couldn't contain her excitement as she tore into the gift, revealing a stunning necklace that sparkled in the morning light, tears wells up in her eye's as she hugs all of them one by one tightly, feeling overwhelmed by the love and thoughtfulness of her friends and family.
The surprises kept coming throughout the day, from a spa day with her aunty to a gift by her brother, each moment was special more than the last and Jane feels truly grateful for the people in her life even if her parents aren't her to share this wonderful day with her, she still feels so happy for the love they all showed her and knew her parents are smiling down her from above.
As the day drew close, Alexa blindfolds Jane and leads her to a secret location for the grand finale of her birthday surprise, when the blind fold was finally removed, Jane finds herself standing in front of a beautiful outdoor venue, lit up with twinkling lights and filled with all her friends and family.
The sound of cheers and laughter filled the air as Jane realized that this is the surprise party they had been planning for her. She was overcome with emotions as she looked aroundto see the smiling faces of the people she love's the most, feeling truly blessed to have such incredible people in her life.
