I am a grown woman today. I know it's said that when you turn eighteen you're already an adult but I feel pretty grown today more than ever. July 5, so close to having my birthday on a holiday, dammit why'd I have to screw it up.

I woke up to the pleasant smell of waffles thanks to my dad, it was expected because it was a tradition to make waffles for my birthday. Perks of being the only child, I mostly get what I want.

Best believe that I ate the whole plate in under five minutes. That's what waffles do to you. I believe I'm a happy person everyday but when it comes to my birthday I'm ten times more happy.

"I have something for you." My dad tells me and he rushes downstairs to his studio for something. I keep myself busy and chug down the whole drink of chocolate milk as I wait for him.

He returns with a huge canvas facing him. My eyes widen at it in excitement.

"I've been working on this for a while. I wanted to make something for you and I finally finished last week, so happy birthday Thalia." He turns the canvas around and my jaw is dropped.

You would think this painting was a picture of me and was framed but my dad was just talented like that. It was a highly realistic painting of me, I couldn't even believe that was real paint. My fingers reached out to touch it and could feel the splotches of paint.

"I love it. It looks great. Thank you." I hug him and back away to take the painting form his hands.

"Well I'm glad you think so because it took me hours." He sighs in exhaustion and I could tell with the amount of detail it had.

"I'll hang it up in my pole dancing room when I move out." I hold it up and hear him groan.

"You are free to do what you want." He takes a deep breath and I chuckle.

"I'm going out in a while, Lola planned my party for today. I'll be at Heaths house all day." I tell him which he agrees to and I quickly go upstairs to change.

I change into a short white dress that shows a little bit of my chest but I'm nineteen now so who cares. I clip the front pieces of my hair back, keeping the front strands out and put on some fancy flats. When I was ready my dad nicely drives me over to Heaths house.

Fortunately I have been able to keep in my secret about the time I got high, I figured I'd tell him when I'm in my twenties then he wouldn't be too mad.

I ring the doorbell as I stand on the entrance and opening the door, Lola appears. She looks pretty, wearing a light pink dress with her hair pulled up.

"Thalia! Happy birthday. Before you go inside I want to say that you deserve this and you're a beautiful person ." She embraces me in a hug which I hug back and let out a giggle.
