It was now the day after her birthday and Sumara was mostly satisfied with the events that occured the day before except for the odd occurence that happened later in the night.
~~~~~
School was not really anything special as usual, but a few people did wish her a happy birthday. She did not parade around the school announcing that it was her special day, but it seemed that a few people already knew or it would just come up in casual conversation. After school is when she had the most fun, even though she wished it was not all by herself. She has only been at the school for around a month and while she made a couple of friends and found cool people to talk to here and there, there wasn't anyone who she really wanted to hang out with for the whole day. There were a few people that passed through her mind to ask, but she didn't get the chance nor did she want to seem to hard up to spend time with someone on her birthday. Instead, after school she tool a trip to one of her favorite restaurants. She did not really want to eat at a nice sit down restaurant all by herself, but she ended up having a cute and friendly waiter who kept trying to flirt with her. She was being friendly back, but was not trying to flirt too hard to give the guy any ideas.
After she was done eating, she was not too sure what else she wanted to do, so she decided to just take trip to the downtown area with all the shops. She wanted to buy a new pair of shoes as well as some new shirts and jeans. She decided that she had too many atheletic clothes and not enough casual clothes for everyday use. After she was done shopping and walking around a bit, she was not sure how else she was going to spend her day. When she decided to leave for home, it was almost getting dark. She did not even realize that she was gone for so long, but it did take her a while to find the right pairs of jeans. She did not want them to fit too tight or too lose. She was usually not picky about the clothes she wore, but she did value comfort above everything else.
As she was walking on her way home, she spotted a house that seemed to be throwing a party. Sumara was not a huge party goer, but it was her birthday and she was not even remotely ready to go home yet. She had no problem just randomly showing up at parties because she was outgoing enough to knock on the door and see if they will allow her to join. She may not have known anyone there, but she was not afraid to talk to new people either. She just hoped that everyone was not already drunk because it was not that late yet. As she approached the door, someone opened it up before she was able to knock. This slightly startled Sumara because she was not expecting someone to appear right before her so soon. The person at the door was a boy who seemed to either be her age or possibly a little bit older. He was very good looking, but Sumara could not help to notice that he was not wearing a shirt. As she quickly glanced through the crack in the door, she noticed that there were other guests there that really were not wearing much at all. Sumara realized that this is one party that she did not want to attend. Before she was about to say something, the half-naked boy got to it first.
"Hey I saw you walking up to the door through the window and I thought as a good host, I should come and greet you personally. Are you here to join the party?", he said with his most charming smile.
While Sumara liked what she saw in front of her, she knew that this party only meant trouble and decided that she needed to make something up in order to get out of there as soon as possible.
"Oh no. Sorry, I must be at the wrong house. I am new to this area and I was supposed to sleep over a friend's house, but I guess I arrived at the wrong one. Sorry for the inconvenience, but I'll just be going now", Sumara said in her most apologetic voice. She just wanted to get away because this did not look like a good situation at all. Before she was able to walk away, the boy grabbed on to her wrist and would not let go.
"Aw, you shouldn't leave so soon. The party is just about to get started and with a pretty face like yours, it will now be even better. The only thing is that you're a little overdressed as you may be able to tell," he then pointed with his free hand to himself and the rest of the party as he also opened the door a little more, so Sumara could view what what going on inside. What she saw inside earlier was confirmed when her scope of view increased. Sumara was a little more horrified at what she saw and knew she needed to escape from this guys clutches as fast as possible.
"I really can't stay because my friend will be worried about me, so I would like it if you let go of my arm now", she said with a hint warning in her voice and a tug for her arm back. His grip only seemed to strengthen instead of lax as she said this.
"Oh really? What are you going to do if I don't miss tough girl? I think I could easily pull you in here if I tried", he said with more aggression in his voice. This boy was not looking so cute to Sumara anymore. She really needed to escape his grip, but her efforts were proving to be futile. Every time she became close to getting lose, he would just tighten his grip once again. She couldn't understand why he was doing this, but instead of playing this little game with him, she decided to take some action against this creep. Sumara then tugged really hard on his arm and at the same time kicked him where most guys would never want to be kicked. It worked just as she had hoped because he reacted the same way most guys would by almost falling over in pain. Before she could hear him yell obscenities at her, she ran off towards her house still thinking about what had just happened. It was so eerily similar to an occurence in her past that she almost wondered if she didn't just go back in time. As she reached her house, she had calmed down a bit and her heart was not racing as fast as it was before. She went inside and spend the rest of her night relaxing. She also realized that she barely took any pictures throughout the day, but there was enough excitement without that.

As Sumara was thinking about all the events that occured on her birthday, she was glad that she decided to take this day nice and slow. Instead of finding anymore random parties or gallavanting around the city, she just wanted to spend the day after school walking around and taking pictures of whatever caught her eye. She was near the park that has now become a sanctuary to her and decided to sit on the bench that she has come to love. Tomorrow was her big gymnastics competition and she felt like she was as ready as she was going to be. She would of course crunch in some practice time later on in the evening, but at that moment she just wanted to take it easy and enjoy her surroundings. Her birthday weekend plans turned out much different than what she had expected and even a bit crazier, but she was glad that nothing terrible had happened from it. As she sat there, she saw someone posing in the perfect way and wondered what the best approach would be to take a picture without seeming like a creep herself.
