Chapter 7: The Birthday

Wednesday July 11, 2012 ...

Like all jovinators know what is on 11 July and so Pauline got up early in the morning thing that she didin't do it especially when she had nothing else to do. She dressed up and went down to the kitchen to get the breakfast. Her parents were startled to see her awake at this hour even Zeta was asleep. "How you woke up so early today?" asked mom. "I do not know rather I had satiated sleep and woke up!" replied stand for Pauline. She  said nothing that one of  her idols has birthday today. Her parents and especially her mother didn't allow her to talk in front of her about Bon Jovi because once she start she can't stop! She didn't even mention their names when she was in the same room!  

    

Finished breakfast and get up over her room. It was 11.00 other days at this hour should be  asleep but today was not an ordinary day was the birthday of Richie!!!!

She opened her new laptop and sung in on facebook. On facebook she made a page about Bon Jovi. This day was deticated to Richie so she start posting his photos. It was still morning but there are a few people on-line and the likes started. As time passed she post more and more pictures of Richie.

In chat she found her 'Jovi sister', so she called her, it doesn't matter that they have never met each other but they have something in common, their love for Bon Jovi and for Richie. They also have a big difference. Pauline have not seen them live. That was her big  complaining and unhappiness. 

She still remembers that day whe she saw in www.bonjovi.com that they will come to Greece in 20/07/2011. She said straight to her mother but her responce was "We'll see." Pauline was sure that they will let her go and she was so sure about this. She doesn't care if she was in the first raw or the last. She just wanted to see them live. This didn't happened! She didn't talk to her parents for over 2 months. She was crying all day hoping that would change their minds. But she couldn't. The day of the concert she was in her room and she didn't speak to none because nobody would unterstand her. From this day she didn't see a picture og that day and of course didn't hear any of the songs that they played that day. In 9 days will past one year from the corncert.

The time passed and her 'Jovi sister' had sent a birthday wish to Richie. She didn't wait for him to answer her but the move is that who counts! Pauline has not a twitter account and she didn't want to have one because she didn't understand how this works! 

Noon in Red Bank and the Timsons' were eating their lunch. "Zeta in a week is you birthday!" her mum said. "Yeah, i know that" Zeta replied. "It would be a nice idea to have a party and invite the neighbors. What's you think?" "That sounds perfect! Let's do this." "We can also do the party by the pool and eat  barbecue!" "Awesome!" said more enthusiastic than ever and continue eating her food. Kostas and Pauline not fiddled in this and left the mother with her daughter to arrange it as they wanted.

3 days left for Zeta's birthday and Pauline had not decited what present should she buy for her sister. She knew what Zeta like but she want to be something special. So, the same day she went to the mall to buy the perfect presnt for her only sister. She went to lots of shops but she couldn't find what she wanted. She found a store with electronics. The truth is that Zeta doesn't like technology and Pauline thought that an i-pod to listening to music would be awesome! They didn't have in pink so she bought the white one that it was also good. She payed and went out of the store. Opposite was Starbucks. So she bought a strawberry milkshake!

Next stop was a bookstore to buy a nice bag, and ribbon to decorate gift.

With bags in hand again went to the bus stop and waited. Arrived home at 21.30 exactly the time Katerina prepares dinner thankfully Zeta was not in the kitchen and she could to tell her parents abour the present of Zeta.

"Zeta is upstairs?" Pauline asked. "Yes, she is but why are you asking anyway?" her dad answer. " I went and bought her a birthday present!" she said and pointing the bags. "What have bought her?" her mum asked. " I bought her an i-pod to listen to music! I'm going upstairs i don't want to see me!" she answered qiuckly and went to her bedroom.

Furnunately Zeta was in her room ans she didn't see Pauline. She put her sister's present in her closet and went to the kitchen to have dinner all together.When they finished wither dinner they sut in the couches to watch TV. But there is nothing to watch! Pauline found a volleyball game and it just started. The 2 girls love volleyball and they have to learn the terminology in Eniglish and this would be a nice practise. Their parents had take care of finding them a good team to continue doing what they love to do and keeping fit. The trainnings started on 10th September in the same day with school. Double sock for the Timson sisters. The match end at 00.15 and all went to sleep.
