Sweet 16!
The day finally came, when I Sara Highstar turned sixteen, and got to have her special day with a big party.
That morning,my parents woke me up. "Honey, happy birthday!" "Thanks mom and dad!" I imagined my party with me wearing...
***Daydream***
A fancy dress, Northen lights, goood food, surrounded by great friends
And in order for that to happen, I had to make that school, I looked for Jackson. When I found him, I asked him
something important, but he surprised me with, " Happy Birthday!" "Thanks Jackson, but-" I whispered so no one could
hear.
" Hey Jackson when "both" of you come to my party, tell everyone(meaning my friends), that they are invited expect for
the people I don't know. Once again, Spectra came out of my locker. " Hey Spectra. The article we talked about is cancelled."
"That's fine Sara, because when I tried to do the article all I could find in the records was Jackson's parents names, and nothing else."
I handed her an invite to my sweet sixteen bash. All of my friends came running up and hugged me, wishing me a happy birthday.
I handed them invites. On my TO-DO LIST, I saw that I still had to get ready for tonight, and nothing was checked off as being
done. They all looked at the list. Clawdeen said she'd help me with my dress. Frankie and Lagoona would get the cake, and
Draculaura would help me wth my makeup and hair. Lagoona and Draculaura asked of their boyfriends Gill, and Clawd could
come. I nodded my head and handed them invites. "The more the merrier!" I went up to Rochelle, Robecca, and C.A Cupid to
hand them invites.
I asked Venus if she wanted to come, but she replied with, " I'd love to go, but I can't eat cake, but I'll still get a
present for you... oh and happy birthday!" Everything was in order, but the last part I needed was the Northen Lights. I
called mom and dad asking if they could get the light family to give some of the rare "magic "(as my parents said) , only for
tonight. Since mom was good friends with Mamma Light, mom called them, and they said yes. After school ended, Clawdeen
and I went too Forever 16+ . We tried on a bunch of dresses, and when I tried on the last dress, Clawdeen gave me a two
paws up.
My dress was a navy blue dress, with princess poofed sleeves, and ruffles at the bottom, with a corset in the
back. When we got back, Lagoona and Frankie got a three-layer red orange cake with brown sugar glaze frosting.
Dracualura came upstairs to my bedroom and saw my dress. "Sara the dress is fangtastic on you!"
Draculaura put my bangsback and bobby pinned them, and tight curled the rest of my hair. Any second the party
was about to start. When everyone,including my friends looked out the window, everybody was here. Jackson was thr DJ
(of course he was Holt), but inside,he was my Jackson. Outside, Holt or aka DJ, needed to grab everyone's attention. He stopped
playing music. I walked right up to the doors and waited inside till he said my name. "Ladies and Gentlemen.. can I have your
attention please. Sara wanted me to tell you guys thank-you for coming tonight. Frankie and Lagoona opened the doors. " Now
please give a big happy birthday to Sara!" I walked down the steps slowly like a princess would. As I was walking through the
crowd, everyone was wishing me a happy birthday. Over by the stage, I called for Holt. He told the band to continue you playing,
and walked over to me. " Sara happy birthday!" "Jackson please come on out. It would mean the world to me!" he did. Jackson took
my hand and ran behind a tree where he couldn't hear any music. " Sara happy birthday, but the music is playing and I'm trying really
hard not to turn back into Holt..." "I know, I know, but for me can you try as hard as you could and stay you. Stay as Jackson Jekyll.
And since you did this for me I;m going to sing you a song on stage. When we walked back, I got up on stage, and asked the gutairist,
if they could play the song, "Call me Someday" by Carlin Johnson, and just as I was about to step off stage, the crowd wanted more.
"ENCORE! ENCORE! ENCORE! ENCORE!" I walked back up the stage and sang "It's time to Fly" by Karen Forest.
When the crowd cheered, I got off stage, and Jackson was no where to be found. I figured he transformed back to Holt.
Now it was cake and present time. The first gift I opened was from Draculaura. She gave me a makeup set. Secondly, was from
Lagoona. It was a sparkly silver bikini. Thirdly, was Clawdeen's gift. Her's was a t-shirt that said "FRIENDS FOREVER!''
Frankie handed me her gift from her. It was some berets for my hair, and a gift card to sweet 16+. Rochelle gave me a cullvin
purse! (They were very expensive and just came out ). C.A Cupid gave me a business card for her business. My mom and dad came
down, asking to take pictures, then giving everyone a piece of cake. I was talking to my friends and meeting their boyfriends, when
out of no where, Jackson grabbed my hand and pulled me away. "Nice meeting you." , said Clawd. " Happy-Bir..thday?" . said Gill.
We walked up to my bedroom, and shut the door.
I was confused why Jackson was doing this. "Jackson why are you doing this? I was meeting Clawd and Gill..." If you want
to secretly give me birthday present up here.. then hand it to me." I fell to the groudn guessing he never got me one, even on a special day,
my own birthday. Jackson helped me up, then whiped my tears from my face. "Did you get me a gift?" " Of course!" I was confused that if
he got me a gift, why not show everyone? I started to get tense.
" Then why not go outside with me, and I can open it in front of everybody?!" "BECAUSE OF THE MUSIC REMEMBER!
DID YOU JUST SUDDENLY FORGET ...?" YOU WANTED ME NOT HOLT!" I looked at Jackson with a sad face, and fell to my knees
again. Jackson sighed saying sorry. " Sorry it's your birthday, and I'm just making a heck of alot worse then it needs to be..." I opened my eyes, telling
him sorry. He asked me if I wanted my birthday present. Jackson went down to my height of where I was. I smiled really big and hugged him
tightly. "Hey Sara, close your eyes..." So I closed my eyes, and was so excited to know what my present was. He leaned forward , and kissed my nose.
I opened my eyes, and started blinking. "Happy Birthday!"
My mom came up to my room, because I guess all that time we were arguing, and fighting, I guessed the party was over, and my parents was
wondering where I was. She told Jackson it was time for him to go home. "Yes Mrs. Highstar..." Jackson kissed me on the cheek and left saying, "See ya
tomorrow at school Sara!" "Mom where is dad?" "Sleeping. He cleaned up the party, when you weren't down there to tell everyone goodbye, he had to do
it for ya." All of a sudden my mom asked me who the guy was. " My special present... OR you could say that he is the son of Dr. and Mrs. Jekyll.(And now
my boyfriend!) Mom kissed me goodnight, shut my door, and went to bed. I got on my PJ's and went to bed. I wanted to dream about Jackson, because
when I said his name(and thought about it too...) I said Sara and Jackson Jekyll.
