Wish me a happy birthday! I’m turning into a teenager – 13-years-old! And guess when? On Friday the 13th! Yeah, July 13th is my birthday. Freaky, isn’t it? But luckily, I’m not the superstitious type. If I was, I’d be really worried. But I’m not. I’m not scared of black cats or walking under ladders. Or old houses that look haunted by ghosts. Nope, not me. That’s just dumb kids stuff!
So far, I’ve been right about my birthday too. Dad is taking Juliette and me to some fancy restaurant on Friday night. That’ll be fun, I guess. But even before my official birthday party, things are going pretty good. Even if my birthday is on Friday the 13th! Because ya know what happened? Jensen called me! Remember him? I hope you’ve been reading all my blogs before this one.
Anyway, he asked me to go out with him again. Isn’t that so great?!! He said we could cool off in some big hotel swimming pool. A “cool pool,” for sure! Hahaha! See, this is what happened. His cousin’s family is visiting Fort Lauderdale. I mean, they’re all staying in this gorgeous hotel right on the beach. So Jensen said we could take the bus to visit his cousin. Then we could change clothes in the hotel room and go swim in the pool.
That’s just what we did too. And it was, like, just the best! Jensen’s cousin, Kevin, is from Chicago. He’s the nicest guy. So we all take turns in the bathroom getting into our swimsuits. Kevin hands us each a towel and we go laughing and running down the hall to the elevator. Just messing around. Some old lady looks at us like we’re doing something wrong. Whatever, right? We were just having fun. But anyway, we go to the pool. But we don’t even need our towels. They have monster beach towels right at the pool. Anyone can just use all the towels they want. I’ve never seen that before.
Wow! What an amazing pool!! There are palm trees all around the water. And they have waiters who just take your order. Like, they walk right up to your chair beside the pool. So we buy three Cokes. Then all three of us just jump into the pool. Of course, the two guys start doing their guy thing right away. I mean, Jensen pushes Kevin underwater. Then Kevin comes up for air and pushes Jensen underwater. What is it about guys anyway?? Well, I’m just watching and laughing. And staying away from them! I didn’t want to get dunked underwater too!
Because you know why? I’m a teenager now for real. Not some little girl splashing around a swimming pool anymore. Both Jensen and Kevin are older than me. But they’re just guys. I’m not a guy! I guess that’s why Jensen likes me, huh? So I want to start acting more grown up now. You know what I mean, don’t you?
Of course, I still want to have fun!!! And I learned one thing at this great, gorgeous, cool pool – there’s nothing like swimming in a pool on a hot South Florida day!! Especially a pool at a really nice hotel. You should try it sometime. That’s my wish for you from the birthday girl. Take a nice cool swim in an amazing pool around here this summer!! Use lots of sunscreen!! Oh, and one more thing. Have a really fun, and lucky, Friday the 13th!!!
