I was in my room and heard my alarm clock ring. I turned it off instantly to lie down again to take those five minutes in bed. If only it weren't the cheering and confetti.

I was immediately startled by a loud scream. I looked in the direction of my door. Seb, Jade, and Lowen stormed in. Jade was holding a cake, Lowen and Sebastian were the ones with the confetti.

"Happy Birthday." Jade came to my bed and waited until I stood up to blow out the candles. Which I did. I got up from my bed and saw how much effort they gave with the cake.
One year older, a year closer to the dead. Yeah, very much exertion.

The candles that had the number 20 were lit. The typical happy birthday song was sung out loud by all three. I couldn't take the grin off my face. It made me so happy that all three took their time and even so early in the morning.

"Blow out the candles and make a wish." I don't believe in something like that, but I do it anyway. So I closed my eyes and blow out the two candles in one breath. "So, what is the birthday girl up to today?"

"Labor." "Told you." Sebastian was a little too glad about my answer. "How labor? Don't you want to celebrate? Just a bar or also a club? Nothing?" I shook my head at Lowen who was still flabbergasted.

The moment Lowen talked to me, I could see Jade with an annoyed look putting 10C$ in Seb's hand. They bet on my answer. "Yeah, I'll just be in the lab today." Lowen didn't get it.

I went to my closet to look for clothes to wear. Lowen got a crisis arose behind me, why I don't want to celebrate. But I just don't feel like it.

Lowen wants me to have fun. Maybe because I don't look forward to having "fun". "Then let's do something together today, maybe with Drew and Sydney as well." she came towards me, which made me happy. I took the things I want to wear in my hand and turned to the three faces.

"We can do that. But not until 7 pm." And the best birthday present was given to me. Lowen agrees, and so do the others. "Then you'll get your present later." "That's okay." I didn't want her to get me anything, but if she already bought it and didn't listen to me again, there was nothing I can do but accept it.

"I have to get ready for the lecture now." "Yes, I get it." I watched as all three walked out, and I was finally alone in my room. This can be a birthday.

❆❆❆❆

The lectures today were not as bad as I expected. Professor Ferrell, with whom I had biology today, was not the woman who told me too quickly that I had to take an audio recording of the lecture.

I put my hand on my neck and laid back, so I could massage it lightly. I was tense. On my way to my motorbike, I became hungry.

When I'm hungry, I'm less interested in buying simple pastries, and the canteen doesn't have what I would eat voluntarily. So I decided to take my motorbike to a supermarket and buy something.
