Daily Reading: Theme Week I
Name:
Day 1
As Heather stared out the window, the balloons tied to the mailbox caught
her eye. It was her 13th birthday party and she was still waiting and hoping that at least one
person would show up. She double checked the time on the invitation and then checked
her phone. No one had sent her a message saying they were running late and the party
started an hour ago. She didn't understand. She had made a point of telling everyone
how much better her party would be at the last few birthday parties she attended. She
pointed out that Alyse's cake was homemade and that hers would be from a bakery. At
Drew's house, she told everyone that her television was way bigger which would make it
easier for everyone to watch it. She had even passed out the invitations in front of her
entire class but hadn't invited everyone so that her guests would know how exclusive her
party was. She was flummoxed as to why no one had shown up yet.
