I woke up to the smell of bacon and eggs in a tray, my maid Reta more like my friend brought me my breakfast to my bed and was opening the curtains, with the light attacking my eyes. I squinted but met Reta's eyes smiling at me.

"Rise and shine birthday girl" she said with a face happier than usual.

"You never fail to make me smile Reta,

" Where's mom?" I asked stretching.

Her smile faded but quickly reappeared,

"Oh dear, she is preparing a surprise for you, so is someone else she said with a wink"

I chuckled knowing that she is talking about my boyfriend Nathaniel. Today is my 18'th birthday and I this is the first one with my boyfriend. I smiled at the thought. Reta put her hand on her hips and looked at me.

"Oh Mila! Stop with the gooey eyes eat up will you" she said with a laugh

"Ok alright I will" I said smiling wide."

I washed up and quickly got dressed and ran down to meet Reta.

"No tutors today right?" I asked in a hurry

" No tutors but you still have to prepare for the party" she said with her usual smile.

"Reta I am sure I don't need 6 hours to prepare for a party. Plus I have somewhere to go today"

I ran out the door and heard her "yell after me be back before 7"

Today I told my driver I will head out alone, and this is my first time. I walk down the streets that I will no longer see after today, I reached the beach and played alone and explored town walking. It was 6"45 when I realized I was late.

"Oh god Reta is going to get worried!" I thought

I rushed back home and BOOM I bumped into someone and fell on my arm and face.

This doesn't usually happen so I felt my tears rushing free. I realized that the person I bumped into is looking down at me with a frown. I bumped into him but he didn't fall, or even help me up. I tried getting up but I hurt my arm real bad and when I looked at it, it was scratched from my shoulder to my wrist. He realized my struggle with getting up and pulled me up by pulling my arm and letting go. I stood feeling dizzy, I think I hit my head too.

"Sorry, I said looking at the man I bumped into." I realized the man was wearing a black patch"

He just gave me a cold glare and walked away. How rude I thought I mean I am the one got injured he didn't even fall. I walked home crying, I realized a gash on my arm and felt something wet on my head, I'm not sweating am I? I touched my head only to find blood on my fingers. Oh man I laugh cried, how dumb can I be? On my birthday too! When I finally reached the villa I sneaked in and ran to my room only to find Reta tapping one foot, which means she's angry and her hands crossed, Uh oh. She is mad

"When she laid eyes on the gashes on my arm and head she rushed to me, took my clothes off and pushed me in the tub.

"Whatever excuse you have, let me tell you are in huge trouble missy!" she said in an angry worried tone.

I looked down and in shame and apologized.

Even if I gashed my whole face, Reta somehow knows how to cover it up. In my past birthdays I always wore light colored puffy dresses, but this year my mother chose something else for me. My jaw dropped looking at it, it was long dress that had an opening from one side to the knee down. The fabric was beautiful and smooth.

"I…I love it!" I said a bit too loud.

"Oh love, if it looks that nice on a hanger than how will it look on you" She said in awe

"Well there is only one way to find out,"

Reta helped me put the dress on me and it was like the perfect fit! It was low cut but not to low, tight from my waist up then long and flowing in the bottom. For the first time I felt beautiful.

"You look so beautiful" Reta said with a tear running down her cheek.

Rita is like my mother, she was with me since birth and treated me like a doctor. Without her I wouldn't be who I am.

Reta curled my raven black hair beautiful big curls that landed perfectly on my shoulders. She put eyeliner on my eyes in such a fancy way powdered it up and finally put the red lipstick that matched my dress, I slipped on my heels and looked at the mirror, for the first time I feel like a women. I hugged Reta who was now shorter than me with my heels.

Oh Reta, only you can make me look this beautiful" I said

"No Mila, with your tall hour glasses figure, bright blue eyes, and raven black hair, you look like a princess no matter what."

I hugged her one last time, and put on my furry jacket grabbed my "purse" that's too small to fit anything.

My driver looked at me and smiled.

"Princess" he said opening the door for me.

I smiled and entered. Once I stepped out the limo door, and walked into the party. I felt all eyes on me, I felt my heart skip a fast beat, but I tried to ignore the stares and smiled. I reached my friend Linda and caught her eyes wide open staring me head to toe. She grabbed my hand and spinned me. She fakes cried and said

"Whoa look who's looking like a women. I smiled and shushed her out of shyness.

Lina herself is like a doll look alike. She is my height with heels, which is 5'6 she has very long blonde hair, water blue eyes and just the most gorgeous face I have ever saw. I met my mother's friends that constantly complemented me.

"Where is Jonathan?" I asked Lisa

"I have no idea, but Mr. gorgeous over there is looking you up and down. "

I turned to see who this "gorgeous" is and surprisingly it was the guy, the one I bumped into.
