The Last Female Dragon

I woke up this morning feeling extra wary , tomorrow is my seventeenth birthday.  Ma and I were supposed to go do something fun together. However, my mom's idea of "fun" isn't usually anywhere close to fun but she tries and it's just me and her ever since my father died, I was only four when it happened but to this day, I can't remember how he died. Ma just says he was sick but I find that hard to believe though. From what I remember my father was a very strong, muscular, healthy man.

Raya, my best friend , is supposed to be coming over for the night to be here in the morning for my birthday and I'm wondering where the hell she is. I decided to take a shower and get my mind out of the gutter. Ma is letting me skip school today and tomorrow. She only ever lets me do it when it's my birthday so, woop! woop!  

"Lily, breakfast is ready and Raya is here!" Ma yelled up the stairs.

"Okay mother!" I yelled back at her.

I quickly have my shower and brush my hair looking in the mirror. I see myself: light brown hair, bright blue eyes and perfectly shaped eyebrows with a sharp jawline and small face.Raya always tells me how jealous she is that I'm so beautiful but I don't really see it. All I see is the same thing everyday and all I think is I'm a freak.

Pushing my negative thoughts aside, I look through my closet for something to wear and come up with some black jeans and a dark blue short sleeve crop top, jogging down stairs I see Raya and my Ma talking and eating breakfast  .I quickly sit down beside my Ma.

"Hey Ma, thanks for breakfast," I say and give her a quick kiss on her cheek.

"You are very welcome, lovely," Ma says with a warm smile.

"You guys have a big day planned tomorrow !" Ma finishes. I look at Raya with an eyebrow raised because , who planned a big day? Hopefully not Ma!

My phone beeps with a notification.

"I need to run to the bathroom quick guys I'll be right back," I quickly mumble and run to the bathroom.
