Chapter Two

The sun was not out yet, still hidden behind the clouds, the birds were starting to wake up, chirping happily like they shared my happiness with me. I smiled in content. My heart swelled as I remembered my friends that offered to have a sleepover at my house to celebrate with me first. I had caring, sweet, adorable friends, although their fascination with boys is something I would never understand, but they were the best, and I wasn't going to trade them for anything. I had a warm, lovely family, even if Dad was the one of the cooperate owners of a chain company, and Mom worked as a vet, they still had time for Gabby and I, I was very grateful to them. I said a quick thanks to whoever was listening, that I lived till my eighteenth birthday and had people that loved me genuinely, not everyone had that.

I plucked my glasses from the table and placed the gently on top of my nose. Everything came into focus, without the glasses everything was hazy, like I was squinting.

My friends were still sleeping so I let them be, and turned to the bathroom, planning to shower first and then have my morning cocoa, that was my morning ritual.

After a warm bath, I dressed in my bath robe, and wrapped my towel on my head, I stood on front of the mirror, looking for any physical changes to show that I had actually reached adulthood. My eyes were still a warm shade of brown, I was still petite, my hair was still straight, long and brown. So much for being an adult. I walked away feeling a little bit disappointed, I mean, how were people going to know that I was now an adult? I asked in my head.

"Surprise!!" Mom's voice shouted from downstairs, immediately I went down the stairs. I placed my palm on my chest due to the shock I felt.

"Mom, you scared me.. I thought I was the only one awake." I say, but I couldn't fight the smile on my face.

"Oh sweetie, I just wanted to see my adult daughter first thing in the morning, I didn't mean to scare you.. anddd I made your favorite!" Mom exclaimed. I chuckled.

"Thank you so much, Mom." I say sitting down to eat breakfast.

She placed my mug of hot cocoa on the table, I smiled appreciatively and took a sip. Just the way I like it.

"I put your cake in the fridge, you can have it if you want." Mom said.

I nodded gratefully, I didn't want to talk because I was savouring the taste of the cocoa.

Mom placed my plate of spaghetti in front of me, I almost squealed. She chuckled and took the cup from me.
