My name is Sianna. I live in a box in the dark. I am dead.
Tomorrow is my birthday. I’ll be 17. What kind of cake will I get? Chocolate I bet, with lots of icing and candles. ‘Candles to light up your life!’ That’s what Mum always says. Candles to light up my life, nice idea. Maybe I’ll wear my blue jeans and lace top and the earrings Jamie gave me for Christmas and the high heels Mum gave me for the school ball. The school ball is in 2 months and I’m going with Marcus, he asked me last year when he found out we would have one this year. He’s not the brightest bulb in the box but he’s nice. But I wouldn’t mind going with Damien instead, he smiled at me – finally. I just wish, but that’s pointless. ‘If wishes were horses then beggars would ride’, Grandma S’s favourite saying. Just her way of saying ‘No’ to everyone and everything, selfish old cow. I wonder where my diamond earrings are. I know they aren’t real diamonds but Jamie gave them to me so they’re as good as. I hope I haven’t lost them. I know kids are supposed to be pests but Jamie isn’t, not really. He’s only 6 but he’s a good kid, he can be a real brat at times but that’s only when he’s really tired. He always wants everyone to smile so he acts funny and sings and dances and stuff and just keeps smiling.
