The Girl Who Never Celebrated Her Birthday<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

By Kruti Patel<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rinfu stared at the sun. Her birthday was coming soon. Very soon. She looked at her watch as well. It was 11:58. She was allowed to stay up until 12:00 every birthday to see when she turned the next official age. It was something to make up for since they never celebrated birthdays. Ever.<\/span><\/p>\n

They could celebrate other people\u2019s birthdays except for the people in their family. It was just a tradition that the family had. Rinfu understood that it was tradition. However, having to deal with it every year was hard for her, especially since she was turning 13.<\/span><\/p>\n

13 was the special year that she felt in which she would actually grow up! She would almost be in high school, and she could even have her own phone. Plus, she could walk to a place far away by herself and even stay home alone. And those were only SOME perks of being 13.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rinfu became a bit sad, because at that moment, she turned 13.<\/span><\/p>\n

At 6:00 a.m., she woke up, tired and melancholy. No birthday to celebrate, and no cake. There were pancakes at least, but they had pancakes every Monday, so it wasn\u2019t as special.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mom gave Rinfu breakfast. Dad wasn\u2019t home since he went to work, and it was even more upsetting he wasn\u2019t there to see his daughter turn thirteen and become a teen. After Rinfu finished, she went into her bus and sat next to her friend, Kaiya.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Kaiya was a shy and thoughtful girl. She was never really that rude to anyone. Kaiya could become ballistic, though, if someone really was annoying her. She was often angry at her brothers for irritating her.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kaiya could tell something was wrong with Rinfu, since Rinfu looked extra sad. Kaiya said, \u201cIs everything alright?\u201d Rinfu replied, \u201cNo. It\u2019s my 13th birthday, and I don\u2019t have any party!\u201d \u201cBut I thought you never have a party,\u201d Kaiya pointed out.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBut this one is special. It shows that I am officially a teen. And that makes <\/span>me <\/span><\/i>feel special.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHmm\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

At that moment, Kaiya had a plan. She was going to plan a party in 6 hours for her friend, because that\u2019s what friends do.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kaiya and Rinfu sat and learned in science class. They also dissected frog organs. Wow, what a fun way to spend a birthday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Next, in ELA, Rinfu\u2019s teacher said it was Rinfu\u2019s birthday and that everyone should wish her a happy birthday. <\/span>At least someone noticed<\/span><\/i>, Rinfu thought.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then, gym, lunch, band, and math came and went. Little did she know that during those subjects, Kaiya was planning that party. By the end of math class, almost everyone in 7th grade knew about the party.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After school, Kaiya started sending out invitations to come to her house for Rinfu\u2019s party. Kaiya asked for Rinfu to come to her house, and she agreed. When Rinfu went inside, she was surprised to see a birthday party awaiting. She asked if everyone really did this for her, and they said yes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was all my idea,\u201d Kaiya said. \u201cI decided to give you a great birthday party!\u201d \u201cHow did you do all of this?\u201d Rinfu asked. \u201cI started preparations yesterday. I remembered you said you wished you had a thirteenth birthday party, so here we are!\u201d Kaiya explained. \u201cThanks so much, Kaiya! You\u2019re the best friend a girl could ask for!\u201d Rinfu exclaimed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rinfu, Kaiya, and all of the other guests partied on until 8:00 p.m. Rinfu said goodbye to everyone and thanked them again for this wonderful day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rinfu never told her parents about this, of course. She didn\u2019t want to tell them the truth that she broke family tradition. So she hid it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rinfu still remembered this party many years later, at the age of 40 years old. She decided to keep this tradition, though, with her children and hope that one friend might have a party for them.<\/span><\/p>\n
