《天使的翅膀》第一章(3)

  As it happened, Miss Rowntree's spiteful put-down was the very last thing she said to me, because next day it was the start of the summer holidays.

  I'd got an incredibly significant birthday coming up, my thirteenth, so I had some serious celebrating to do. My star sign is Cancer and if I say so myself, it fits me like a glove. Shy on the outside, with a squishy caramel centre, that's me.

  Sometimes I wonder what I'd have done, if I'd genuinely understood I only had a few precious days left on Earth. Would I have appeared on TV, pleading with world leaders to throw down their weapons and stop all those stupid wars?

  But as it turned out, my last days were just enjoyably average. And to be completely honest with you, all I cared about was that I was finally becoming a big bad teenager at last.

  The day before my birthday, Des drove me and my two best mates to the local multiplex, to see a cool film with Will Smith in it, followed by a complete pig-out at Macdonalds. My actual birthday was purely family, which was nice but slightly boring - you know how it is. Secretly I'd have preferred to fast-forward to the next day, when I was meeting up with my mates for a major shopping spree. But finally it was all over for another year.

  When I came to bed, my little sister Jade did something really sweet. She sat up in her sleep and said, "You're my best sister in the whole universe."

  I said, "I'm your only sister, you nutcase." And without ever dreaming this was my last night on Earth, I fell into a deep peaceful sleep.

  伦翠小姐让我出丑的第二天,我们就开始放暑假了。

  不久,我的生日也到了。

  那是我13岁的生日,意义非同凡响。为了庆祝这个对我来说,重要得要命的日子,我要好好安排一下。

  我是巨蟹座的,星象书上说得一点没错:外表羞涩,内心像压抑的野马一样狂野。对,那就是我!

  生日前的一天,由戴斯爸爸开车,送我和两个好朋友去市中心的影城,我们看了一场很棒的电影,是贝克汉姆主演的。

  之后,我们又到麦当劳去海吃了一顿,过足了瘾。

  等到正式过生日的那一天,就完全是家庭式的庆祝了:

  家人聚在一起,

  唱生日歌,

  吹蜡烛,

  许愿……

  很温馨,但是——有点乏味。关于这点,我就不用多说了,人人都知道的啦!

  我心里猫抓似的,盼望着第二天的到来,这样我就可以和死党们一起疯狂大采购了!不过,我做梦都没想到,第二天等待我的是什么。

  不得不提的是,生日的那天晚上,还发生了一件让我想流泪的事情。我正准备上床睡觉的时候,妹妹小玉本来睡得正熟,却突然坐起来,喃喃地说:“在全宇宙的姐姐中,你是最好的一个。”

  我既感动又好笑:“有病啊,你不就我这么个老姐吗?”

  然后,我就开心地睡觉了。
