Story 1

All of this years friend’s are running around, like last year’s friends. There are gifts with space ship and sports wrappers, just like before. Everyone’s wearing a pointy cardboard hat, like always. My mom’s coming with ten deceitful candles on my cake, like every year. As you can tell, this isn’t my first tenth birthday.
