Carrie's Crush

Chapter Three

"Happy birthday!!!" Echoes of students wishing me a happy birthday filled my ears immediately Andrina parked the car. I smiled so wide, genuinely happy that people cared enough to wish me a happy birthday.

"Would you look at that? Someone is quite loved." Sophie commented. I chuckle happily as I get down from the car.

I see a huge banner, a pink banner with my face by the side, and a happy birthday note, it brought tears to my eyes.

"We the entire student body of Brook High School, wish the best Student body president a happy birthday!" Someone exclaimed with a megaphone. Everyone cheered. And my heart warmed, I didn't even have the time to tell anyone about my birthday, but somehow they knew, and made sure it was special for me. I noticed everyone had a touch of pink, anything they wore, it somehow had pink on it. I laughed in genuine happiness, this was what love felt like, not the ones Sophie and Andrina always talked about and later cried because the supposed "love of their lives" broke their hearts.

I walked through towards them, hugging a few, waved them, some gave me cards, others presents.. and I couldn't be happier.

"Thank you all so much, I really appreciate everything you have done for me right now, I feel so blessed to be your president." I tell them sincerely.

"No, the students of Brook High School, are lucky to have you as our president." Someone tells me. I smile happily. All giddy. I was not really sure I was this happy before.

One by one, they dispersed to their classes. I turn to my friends, smiling.

"When did they plan all this?"

"It was hard, you are everywhere, we couldn't plan it so well." Andrina say shrugging. I looked closely, Andrina wore a pink blouse, and Sophie wore a pink scarf. I didn't even realize it before.
