came out of biology this morning to be greeted by my friends running at me wearing party tiaras & crowns, shaking balloons filled with spaghetti!!! i got kinda scared, lol. i was then handed a packet of spaghetti as a birthday present!! They bought me a big "happy 18th birthday" badge, and my lunch - a subway sandwich & drink, and a big chocolate birthday cake :)they sang happy birthday & then i cut it up & shared it out (including sending charlie upstairs with a piece for tom even tho he hates me at the mo). and becky nearly knocked me out throwiing a bar of choc at me which smacked me in the face. i gots an eeyore soft toy, an elephant soft toy, a toy sheep, an ickle book called "you'll always be my friend - you know too much" and a box of quality streets. i got loads of "happy birthday"s off random people i dont know cos of the badge, balloon and hats. the girls were all wonderful to me, giving me loads of hugs and telling me they love me (i think to a certain extent some of its to try & cheer me up about tom). when they were in english i was talking to sam, and i told him about what stacy had said(without saying it was her) and that what nobody realises is that its tearing me in two, i tried so hard not to cry, but shed a tear or two, and he hugged me & held me close, he offered to talk to tom for me, which may be needed, i'm not sure, i'm leaving it for the mo over my birthday weekend, i have told him myself tho this "you may hate me but i still care about you", cos he did say thanks for the cake. But boys dont matter for the moment, i've got my girly mates.
