happy birthday of pain
:
"RAVEN Robin, you know me better than anyone. You should know there are places in my mind where you can't go- (Extreme close-up of her eyes.) -where no one should ever go. (Pull back.)
ROBIN I'm willing to try if you'll-
RAVEN I can't.
ROBIN Tell me what's going on.
RAVEN Just trust me. If you knew anything about the day of my birth... (walking off) ...you'd know there's nothing to celebrate."
Today,I cast away my life as a thirteen-year-old,to partake in the arts of adjusting to the lifestyle of a new age.
Inner Vivi:On the first day of the exams,you're posting?You're mad.This birthday will be particularly painful - today is the English end year examination.On the bright side,the whole school remembers my birthday.And on the dark side,it's not "my birthday" they're remembering,but the english exam.
"SLADE I have to say, Raven, when I found out the truth, I was very impressed. All this time, I had no idea - the power lurking inside you. The glorious destiny that awaits. It's always the quiet ones, isn't it? But honestly - did you think you could just blow the candles and wish it all away? Today is the day it begins. You've known this all your life; it is going to happen, and no matter what you wish, no matter where you go, no matter how you squirm, there is nothing you can do to stop it. "
I've had to defer celebrations for my birthday till about a fortnight later,for the end year exams,those cursed things.And the way I myself attempt to celebrate my birthday is getting nowhere.
It's not a celebration for me today;it's an induction.It entails listening to Carmina Burana as many times as I can help it,at half past three in the morning.And reading the transcript of Birthmark.At least I won't have to deal with the likes of a
certain male teacher I don't want to see.(The last time I saw him face-to-face was when we ran into each other in the dining hall,and the left side of my face was soon paralysed in absolute red burning fire where he could see it.)But heck,it's my birthday,and anything can happen...except maybe Gong Li coming over personally from whatever she's doing to wish me happy birthday.
Everyone,altogether now,quietly please...
"Happy birthday to you,happy birthday to you,happy birthday to vivi x faith...happy birthday to you..."make a wish now,vivi.
"I wish for ten thousand more wishes."(investing for the future lol)
VOICE FROM SKY Hey you can't do that!Wish for something else!
"I wish that one day I may make something of myself.Something I,and the rest of the world,can be proud of.I'm not going to wish what my classmates think I'll wish.I have no interest in the pursuit of love.I wish for my future instead."
