When I see your smile,
it drives me wild...
And I can't explain it,
uh, it's killing me, baby...
13:10. I've just woken up. I feel dizzy, as if a pick-up truck drove over me. I sit up and hold my head because it can't stand up on its own. I think about what happened last night.
"Ooooooh, shit!"
And then I remember what happened last night. We were getting drunk in the skate park (There goes my New Year's pledge about not drinking anymore.) and Jules and Kat were out of control, kissing boys and yelling in Español. Stella, Natalie and I were alone... I think... And we cheered to a night without boys, because I was disappointed with Alex and they've been disappointed with blokes for a long time and then...
OHMYGOD. I got a bit too wasted and I threw the bottle in the air and it landed just a foot away from a lad, who Jules was making out with. The guy was totally hammered, went completely mad, started screaming that we could've killed him, I got scared so I grabbed Nat and ran away, but we couldn't find Stella! We called her and looked everywhere we could, not to come too close to the psycho in the park. Suddenly, the guy appears right in front of me, calling me a bitch, and I started running as fast as I could away from him. I was dead scared. I ran to a house nearby. I stopped for a second and caught my breath. It must have been at least 2 A.M. so I headed home. I didn't want to stay there if the freak might come back, but I was worried about Stella and Natalie, so I texted them.
Natalie soon wrote back that she was already at home, she ran like hell. But she had no idea what happened to Stella, she said that she probably went with Kat and Jules or something. So it kept my mind off of it for the night.
But now I'm really worried. What if something had happened to her? I sighed, got out of bed and called her. She didn't answer. I called Kat then.
"Hey, party animal, have you seen Stella anywhere last night after the incident?"
"Mia, you're crazy! The guy was furious, he could've slaughtered all of us, as drunk as he was. But, no, I haven't seen her after that. I thought she was with you?" Kat said.
"Oh, shit! Oh God, this isn't good... What if the guy did something to her?" I got nervous.
"Girl, I have no idea... This is bad..." Kat replied.
Then I called Natalie if she knew anything. She said that I should call Jules. So I did.
And I found out that Stella was with her, and she was terrified last night when they got home, because the guy was threatening to her, because I wasn't there so he came up on her. I didn't know what to say, I felt so bad. I asked if I could talk to her, and I apologised. We worked things out and she said that next time when I want to kill someone, I should be a 'man' and confront him when he wants revenge. I agreed. Then I was calmed and I made myself some breakfast. A deserved one, after all this mind-blowing confusion, I could say.
14:10. I went downstairs to make breakfast. The whole house was so quiet.
"Dad? Mom? Kyle?" Nobody answered.
I went to the kitchen and found a note on the fridge.
Mia! We're at Giovanni's, celebrating dad's birthday. We didn't want to wake you up, since you came home late last night, so come over when you see the note.
Oh, man! I had completely forgotten about dad's birthday... He's 36 today. I should buy him something. Like a book about medicine or a pack of cuban cigars or something. How could I forget?!
14:20. I got dressed and left the house. It's not that far to Giovanni's restaurant, so I walked. It was also a good way to show off my new green top, which I was keeping for a special occasion. Maybe I run into one of the cute boys from school, you never know. So I was walking down the road, went by the flower shop, past the school and the bank, by the cinema and I could already see dad's car on the parking lot. So I entered Giovanni's and the first thing I saw was the whole family, including grandma and grandpa and my aunt and uncle with their daughter. I had no idea that he was going to make a party that big and invite half of our relatives. The crowd noticed me and cheerfully invited me to join them.
"Happy birthday, dad!" I said with a huge smile, hoping, he wouldn't notice that I had forgotten. Grandma and grandpa stood up and slowly came to me. Seriously, they were going like 10 metres per hour. Well, what you're gonna do, they're as old as earth.
"Oh, Mia, you're so grown-up, I barely recognised you!" Grandma said with a tired voice. I hugged her and she seemed so fragile. "Well, you should come see us more often." I said to her. She smiled and took grandpa by the hand and they sat down. I sat beside my cousin Tina, so we could catch up and we started talking about everything and found out that we have the same taste in clothes, as we both had a green top, the same model, it just wasn't the same top. I regret a bit that we lost connection when they moved to America, because we could be really good friends.
17:10. So, we mostly ate the whole food and we were just lazily sitting there, talking. Then dad asks Tina to go pay the bill, because they were just sharing their ideas on the public transport and the English royal family. I walk with her, beacause I have to go to the loo. When I came back Tina is still waiting at the counter. I walk to her and we I ask her if she already asked for the bill and she says that she asked the waiter minutes ago. Aunt Tracy was calling her from the table to show the others the scar that she got when she was scuba-diving. So I said I'd wait instead of her for the bill. I leaned on the counter, watching Tina by the table, showing the others her scar on the elbow. Then I heard a voice behind me, saying: "That'll be 80,69 £, please." So I grab the bill, that the waiter had put on the counter and put there the credit card. Then I turn around again, watching the family and start wondering why dad took us to a fancy restaurant and invited half of the family if we are short on money at the moment. I just hope he won't fall into debts, just to maintain our reputation as a perfect family with no problems. I heard the waiter saying thanks and I grabbed the card and went back to the table.

OMG! The waiter wants me to call him! I don't even remember what he looks like, I didn't really look at him... I glance through the window and catch his face outside the restaurant. He's just on a cigarette break. I am surprised how it's possible that I haven't seen him before, I would've noticed him since he's so HOT! Black short hair, a cute face, really attractive... I think I'm gonna give him a call...
