Legendary Birthday

There is a girl, sorry maybe not true, since she is not such young. So the story would be started like this, there is a lady named Ivy, which is a kind of poison plant. Today is her birthday, and she told the others that she would always stay in 25. In fact I am the only person knowing that she is 26 today.

She is quite normal, like she can not be recognized from the others. She is not tall, not short; she is not fat, not slim; she is not beautiful, not ugly; she is not noisy, not quite; she is not brave, not shy; she is not funny, not boring also; she is not special, just normal, you know you can not find a more suitable word to describe her. Since I knew her, she have never doen some special things. As far as I know, the craziest thing she have done is “purification”. I should explain that what it is, that is mean at two consecutive days you can just eat apple at the first day and drink milk at the second, nothing else including water. Usually she does it once per month. I guess she should be very “clean”.

Then for this birthday her friends decided to do some special things for her. They bought a vest putted “hello this is Ivy (for sure)” in the front and “I am available” in the back. All these sentences are typical of Ivy’s. I do not know why when she makes a phone call, she uses to say “hello this is ivy” even it is quite obviously for the others. To “I am available”, what I can say is a mistake of her. She told me that at the first party with those friends, one of girl asked her whether she has a boyfriend, she answered “no”, and three seconds later, she added “so I am available”. She told me more than hundreds of time she just wanted to make a joke. However, she did not successfully make it. Oppositely, others make fun of her.

What I have already talked, oh, they bought this vest for her and asked her to wear it to a pub yesterday’s night. Of course she can not reject it. You can not imagine how that vest worked, and I do believe it has magic for sure. At the first there was a hot guy danced with her. Because I was not there, I did not know how hot he was. For what I got the information from the others, he should be very hot. He was absolutely a good dancer and he taught her how to move her body. They seemed dancing happily. But…you know I really hate this word…she got bored and turned to find her friends. Whatever the guy did later to invite her again, she just did not dance with him anymore. Come on lady, who do you want to find in a pub?

Later she danced with another guy, surprised the others; he was obviously not a cute boy as what we usually talked. He was a little bit fat with a weird style haircut. He did not talk too much; he was just close to her and moved the body according to the music. She definitely is not the type who dances with anyone close to her. Others confused, since there were more than three other guys intending to dance with her, she chose this one. They blamed all because of alcohol, even she just drank one cup of Monaco. When the guy left, no one knew.

When she backed again and danced with her friends, they all said “happy birthday” to her. Since time passed 12:00, it was her official birthday. She laughed like a flower, and danced in the center around by her friends. At the meanwhile, a guy interrupted in, stopped to her, said “you are already really nice” and disappeared in all shocked faces. “What does he mean? Nice…nice…” she repeated. “I am not perfect, just nice.” then she danced alone. The guy left a puzzle to all the others.

Do you still remember that vest? If you think the magic of the vest is just like this, you are completely wrong. A woman, exactly speaking, a not such old lady, directly walked up to her and almost kissed her. Fortunately she backed away. She was scared. Sometimes you know magic is not a such amazing thing.

The last part of the magic of vest was an awesome guy. It was said that he was astonishingly cute. He danced with her for quite a while. It seemed like they talked to each other. All the others were excited. But…again this word…at that moment, she felt down suddenly, and it was too late to him to fling his arm out to stop her falling. When everyone was aware of that, she was completely lying on the floor. Then she sat up herself as nothing happened. The first sentence she said was “Do I ever cross you mind anytime?” Nobody knew what she was thinking about at that moment. Probably she was really drunk.

So till now she is still available.

During the day, a lot of friends sent her email or sms. In fact she never felt depressed even she does not have a boyfriend. When she reads those sentences and hears friends’ voice all around world, she feels like she is rich. One of friends, he called her no more than third times per year; nevertheless, he never forgot her birthday. It is like kind of tradition near the end of her birthday he gives her a call talking about previous year and the birthday. She said to him “I do not want growing up, of course I am not ready.” He never heard about that before, kept silence for seconds “You know you would forever be just one day elder than kids.” She laughed.

I think I must forget something to mention. Today is 2nd June. As far as I know international children’s day is 1st June. Her friend is really sweet. You definitely wanna ask who I am. I am a friend of hers. We share quite similar experiences. I must be another Ivy, may be just like anything else.
