"It's your birthday! Here, I managed to save your dress after the farm. I gasped, suddenly very much awake.
"Really?! Thanks, mom!" I smiled and hugged her.
"Your welcome, sweetheart. Now, you get changed and come eat breakfast," mom said. I nodded. She stood up and walked out of the cell, pulling the curtain closed behind her. Carl was already gone.

"Happy birthday!" Mom said, along with everybody else.
"Thanks," I said with a bright smile.
"Smile," dad said suddenly, whipping out a polaroid camera. My mouth fell open in shock as the bright flash hit my eyes. "Beautiful."

"Hey, there you are! I was looking for you." I turned my head at the voice of Will, my 'boyfriend'. It's complicated. My parents, no, my mom said that we couldn't kiss. And dad awkwardly said we can't do anything that involves kissing. I was laying on the grass so he came over and pecked my nose. I burst out laughing.
"Hey," I laughed.
"Happy birthday," Will said, peppering my face with kisses.
"Thanks! Stop that!" I laughed, moving my head away from his lips.
