I felt tears stinging my eyes. I wanted to go to my room, shut the door, lie on my bed, and cry.

Mom said, “Let’s see what the other mothers say.”

I already knew what Sasha’s mom would say. And I was right. She told Mom Sasha couldn’t come because Sasha gets asthma from every little cold.

Kaylee’s mom said Kaylee had been up all night, sick. She had a fever of a hundred and three, just like the Pain.

My party was falling apart.

But Emily’s mom said she could come. She said they don’t worry about germs in their family because they’ve got four kids and someone is always sick in winter. “Isn’t that good news?” Mom asked when she was off the phone.

“A party with just one friend?” I said.

“One friend is better than none,” Mom said.

When I called Emily she said, “Do I still have to wear pink?”

“Yes,” I told her. “It’s still a Princess in Pink party.”

“I hate pink,” she said.

But when she came to my party she was wearing a pink shirt. “I borrowed it from my sister,” she said. Then she handed me a present wrapped in pink paper. “Happy half birthday. It’s from Sasha and Kaylee, too.”

“Thank you,” I said. I opened the box. Inside was a pink book with blank pages and a sparkly pink pen. “I love it,” I told her. “It’s perfect.”

“Good,” she said. “I hate to give presents that no one likes.”
