The Greatest Gift Ever, Part 3

"Kells, are you sure?" 

"I'm pretty sure, mom."

"Okay, just be careful, dear. If you can't stand up for a long time, just say to the teacher. Okay?" Said mom.

"Okay, mom. I'll be okay." I smiled. I walked slowly into my car and come inside. 

...

We've practied about 3 weeks to prepare for this festival. I'm so happy today, joining choir team for the festival.

In school, my music teacher, Mr. Nathan, was really surprised.

"Hi, sir!"

"Hi, Kells." Said Mr. Nathan. He was really surprised.

"Umm.. What's wrong, sir?"

Mr. Nathan smiled. "Nothing." He said. "I just worried about you. Are you ready?"

"Of course, I am." I said. "I always ready."

"Okay." Said Mr. Nathan. "You can go to the bus right now. I'm waiting for other students."

"Yes, sir."

I've said that my birthday is 2 weeks left. And tomorrow, it's my birthday!

Everyone knows my birthday. But they never now that I have a terrible disease. Sometimes I always mad and stress about my disease. Why I have to enjoy my life with a terrible disease? Why? 

I know, in the other world, there are so many terrible disease besides liver disease. Renal failure, cancer or pompe disease are the one of the terrible diseases. 

But I tried to enjoy the world and forget about my disease. 

....

Friday.

Today is my 15th Birthday. I'm so glad about that. Even that I sad too. 

"Happy birthday, sweetheart!" Said mom. She hold a big cake. 

"Gee, thanks, mom!" I took the cake from mom. "Can I bring it to school to share with friends?"

"Of course, my dear. That is your cake right now." Said mom. "In the evening, we will go to a beautiful restaurant to celebrate your birthday with your big family."

"Really?" I'm pretty surprised. "Yes." Said mom. "Now hurry up. You must go to school."

I packed my bag and walked into my car.

In school.

I went to my class, my lucky class, 9C. I opened the door. There are no students in there. I wonder why. 

"Hello?"

Still quiet.

"Is anybody here?"

Still quiet. 

Oh, please, I don't want to be pranked in my birthday. "Please, don't prank me."

Suddenly, The lamp in my class is turn on. There are some boxes in the desk.

"Happy birthday, Kellen!" Shout Jeremy. Gee, I'm surprised. He brought a big cake, AGAIN. Why I have to have double cake in my birthday? I just don't want to waste the cake. 

"I bring a cake too!" I said. 

"Then It means we'll have a big party!" Shout Jazzie. She took the cake and put it on the teacher's desk. "Let's start the party!"

Gee, I'm lucky I have so many friends who cares on me. I want to cry. They're very kind to me. 

"Here, I put the candles." Said Jeremy. "Make a wish, buddy."

I smiled and start.

God, please don't take them away from me. There are too kind to me. You can take me, but don't take my friends. Let them enjoy the world with the happiness. Especially, JAZZIE.

Finished.

"Hey, what's your wish?" Asked Gerald. I smiled. "It's a secret. You don't have to know it."

"Okay, okay." Gerald smiled. He gave me a piece of cake. "You can give it to others."

I winked. First of all, I walked to my beloved teacher, Ms. Emily. She's the best teacher I've ever had. Only her who knows my disease. "Here you go, Ms. Emily."

"Oh my." Ms. Emily smiled. "Thank you, my student."

"Anytime." I smiled. Then I took a piece of cake again and gave it to Jazzie.

"Here." I gave her. She smiled. "Gee, thank you, Kells!" 

Then after that, everyone's shouting at me. Maybe They think that I like Jazzie, 'cause the first girl who got a cake from me is Jazzie.

"Kellen and Jazzie are sitting on the tree..." I just laughed. Jazzie was do the same thing. The real thing is, we're best friend. Not only two of us, but Gerald, Jeremy and Lola too.

"Here, we bought a present for you." Said Jazzie. Gerald came out and a few second later, he came with a big box beside him. "It's for you."

"Wow, It's TOO big.." I said. 

"You can open it." Said Jazzie. I opened it, and I'm surprised of the present. "Big frame?" Asked me. "Of our pictures? Scrapbook?"

"Yes, it is." Jeremy smiled. "There are so many beautiful moments in there. We can scrapbooking together if you don't have a busy schedule."

"Of course I don't have it." I said. "I'll hang this pictures in my bedroom." I went to the cake and took a piece of cake.

"Then this is for Lola." I walked to Lola and gave it. 

"Thank you, Kells!" Shouted her. "Wish you all the best!"

I smiled. Oh my god, this birthday party is simple, but I'm so glad. And maybe, this birthday is my last birthday. 

Okay, okay. I don't want to remember about that. I just want to enjoy the world.
