On September 13, I decided to have my birthday party at Dave and Busters, inviting my four closest friends, who have been my friends for years.  Everything was going well, we were taking pictures with each other and laughing our heads off.  After we were done eating and wanted to go play arcade games, I found myself standing alone because my friends decided to split up.  When I would follow two of my friends, I would get left out because it was a game for only two people, which I was fine with at first.  Then I started to get tired of it when it was the same situation with my other two friends and how it was happening with every game they played.  I had asked my friends if they could play a game that I wanted to play but they told me that they had already played the game so they both didn’t want to play again.  There was even a time where I had won my friend a stuffed animal from the claw machine because she was having trouble, and when I handed it to her she went off to show our other friend, without saying thank you.  I felt like all four of my friends weren’t even my friends at that moment and I wanted to go home at that moment.  It started to feel weird and awkward being by myself on my own birthday because I had invited them to make my day even better.  It was like I wasn’t even there on my own special day.  In the end, I thought maybe it would be better if I hung out with people who know how to cheer me up whenever I'm feeling down, which is my family who made my day a hundred times better for my birthday.
