What Kind Of A Mystery Is This?


I woke up to mom’s homemade blueberry pancakes that I love so very much. Mom always make blueberry pancake when it’s someone’s birthday. Well, it’s my birthday! I hate Monday though, considering it’s my birthday, I LOVE TODAY. I ran upstairs to take my pink Cinderella towel. I’m 14 and I’m pretty sure I need a normal adult towel. I ran to the toilet while shouting “IT’S MY BIRTHDAY! I’M PRETTY SURE I NEED AN ADULT TOWEL!” I’m a singer. I’m a singer in the shower. My voice is really good when I’m singing in the shower. I always sing Across The Universe by The Beatles.

After a spontaneous concert in the shower, I got out still singing the same song. I opened my closet and looked all through my 13 year old clothes. “Mom can I borrow your bra. I’m 14 now.” I shouted. I heard mom giggled from downstairs. I was kidding. I then searched and searched. There it is, my vintage pink sweater. I decide to use that sweater for my special day. I picked out the white skirt. I ran downstairs while bringing my tosca-colored backpack. I saw that delicious blueberry pancake mom made. It looks so good! I went to the kitchen and took a fork and a knife. When I saw the dining table, my annoying brother Marcus is eating it! He ruined my special day! “MOM! Marcus is eating my breakfast!” I said, “your breakfast? It’s Marcus’s birthday too.” Mom said.

“BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!” that’s the school bus. Better be going to school without breakfast. “Happy birthday Rose! I’m sorry you don’t have time for breakfast.” “Thanks, mom” I didn’t feel happy at all. When I got to the bus, I sat next to my best friends Ellie and Britney. “Why the long face?” Britney asked, “My brother ate my breakfast.” “Aren’t brothers like that?” Ellie asked, “that was my special breakfast mom made. She only makes it for anyone in the family when it’s someone’s birthday. “It’s your birthday?!” they asked together, I looked at them and wondered why don’t they remember. “Oh your birthday. Yep I know it’s today. You’re turning 13?” Ellie asked. “No, I’m 14.”

We finally arrived at school. I am totally pissed at my best friends because it’s so rude they don’t remember my birthday, and they even thought I turned 13? I was 13 yesterday. I put my bag and books inside my locker and took my science book. It’s time to have science. Science is so boring. All I know is science has this chemical stuff that react to something and it became to this and that. Ugh so confusing.

I got out of the science class and there was Ellie and Britney holding a tiny box that says “happy birthday” on it. They gave it to me; they start apologizing “we’re so sorry we forgot about your birthday. I hope this doesn’t go between us. And we have a present for you. Here you go. Happy birthday, Rose.” “I forgive you. And I love you guys. Thank you.” I said. We finally laughed together again. We had lunch which we ate tuna sandwich.

I arrived at home with a frown. Mom was there sitting in the couch while watching America’s Next Top Model season 6. “How was your day?” mom asked, “Nothing special” I replied. I ran upstairs and opened the gift my girls gave me. It’s a bracelet! “Happy birthday! The three of us has the same bracelets now! Yay buddies forever!” I directly wear the bracelet and felt something weird. And then there’s this woman appearing in front of me just like a mille-second. I was so shocked and ran downstairs and hugged my mom. “What’s the matter?” mom asked. “There was a strange looking woman upstairs.” I said in a fright. Mom went upstairs and checked my room, there’s nothing.” Mom said in a curious face. Maybe it’s just one of my imagination.

I don’t know what to do. Without a doubt, I ran to the public library near my school. I had a walk through the Mystery section. I see nothing. Then a lady came to me “May I help you?” I can see something odd from this lady. Like she’s someone I’ve known before. “I’m actually looking for a mystery true story method of a book. I know what I said doesn’t make sense. But you understand right?” I said. “Oh follow me. This way.” as I follow her to the mystery section, I saw a book titled “Mystery Around You”. When I turned my head back to where she’s standing, “Thanks!” and wondered where she went. How is she gone so fast? I looked around the library and she’s not near.

I don’t care so I took the book “Mystery Around You” and went through a short reading about it. It said something about a person appearing in front of you for a second and suddenly he’s gone. Suddenly I had a vision of the lady that showed me the way to this section… oh my God! It’s the exact same lady I met back at the house! I went to the cashier “Have you a seen a lady who works here with a long black hair, cynical eyes, and dried lips?” I asked, “We’re sorry, no, our staff consists brown, blond colored hair. Or maybe this lady isn’t a staff?” I didn’t answer to what the cashier guy said.

I ran home and felt something weird about the bracelet. Since the first time I wore it, strange things happened to me. I directly remove my bracelet from my wrist. And there’s nothing going on anymore until tomorrow I went to school. I met Ellie and Britney and asked about the bracelet. They said weird things happened to them too and they said they threw it away. And I threw it away. Until then we don’t know what was going on with the bracelet…
