Many years ago…

Tomorrow is my sixteenth birthday. Mom said she’d make me my special cake. It was vanilla cake with chocolate icing. I told her I wanted to have Ellie over for cake and ice cream. Mom had frowned and told me no.

I had gotten angry. I threw my glass and it cut Mom’s arm. I felt bad then. I saw the blood and I started to cry. It was gross. It made me feel sick.

Mom told me not to worry about it. She said she’d clean it up and be good as new. She told me I had to stop throwing things when I got mad. That I should talk instead of being violent.

I told her I’d try.

She told me Ellie could come over and that made me happy.

I tried to talk to Ellie when I got to school but she was with Dania and Stu and those other kids she talks to.

“Tomorrow’s my birthday,” I told her. Dania started laughing. It made me mad.

“It’s the ‘tard’s birthday, Stu!” Dania said, her voice sounding like a cow I heard crying when it was dying in our neighbor’s field.

I put my hands over my ears so I could block out her voice. “Shut up!” I yelled. They kept laughing.

Ellie didn’t stop them. She laughed with them. That made my stomach hurt.

“Stop laughing!” I yelled even louder. If I were loud enough, maybe they’d hear me and they’d stop.

“’Tard boy’s having a birthday! Are we invited to the party? Will there be balloons? What about a clown?” Stu laughed and laughed and I was getting madder.

I hit the locker and ran down the hall. I hated all of them. Even Ellie.
