I was born in the Autumn and so was my friend. That's why I like the season. Just not as much as the frosty winter! Next week is my Birthday. Each year I get a cake with my favourite ingredient CHOCOLATE. This year I can't celebrate it with my friend Polly because she left the school two months ago. Polly came every year to my house to celebrate but ,like I said, she won't be this time. The thought of it makes me still feel like there was a marble stuck down my throat.

While I walked down to school I was accompanied by my new friend , who wasn't a good friend as Polly, Bella. I kicked the orange leaves as I walked past them. Since Bella wasn't coming to celebrate at my house she gave me her present now. It was wrapped with a red wrapping paper with autumn leaves on it. With thanks, I took it and stroked the leaves like it were a precious necklace to show I appreciated it. But I knew it could never replace Polly's gift from last year- it was a yellow starfish headband which came with a matching starfish necklace. At home, after school, I opened Bella's present and saw the same present as Polly's one from last year. My brain transformed into flames. I was fuming. How could Bella copy Polly's gift? My fists clenched tighter and tighter, until they became red like a throbbing thumb.

I did not talk to Bella, today at school. I dusted the bench from the leaves and sat on it with a thud. I tried not to stare at Bella too much because I didn't want to feel pity on her. But watching her made me feel lonely because she was surrounded with other girls chatting. They didn't care that I was alone or angry, they just chatted amongst themselves, ignoring me. Forgetting about them, I watched the autumn leaves fly like butterflies in the soft breeze. I had not really noticed the beauty of autumn since Polly had left!

It is my birthday! I, like anyone else on theirs, woke up early. The door bell rang unexpectedly. I opened it and saw...………POLLY!! "I am here old bestie!" she said, " On your Autumn birthday!"
