Well, the 22nd of March had arrived after a year. Yes, my birthday had arrived. I usually don't care enough about birthdays.

I mean it was cool when you were like six, you get a huge birthday cake and all those fancy decorations and balloons. But as you grow it kinda just fades away, it is actually kind of sad when you think about it.

I remember trying to stay awake until 12:00 am so I could celebrate my birthday exactly when the day starts but now, I'm just glad I manage to get 8 hours of sleep in my busy schedule. Things have really changed.

Today, I was woken up by a strange noise when the clock struck 12:00pm. They were party popper noises. "Happy Birthday!" my roomies screamed. I was very annoyed by the noise and the light. I woke up grumpy and gave them a look. There was confetti flying all around the room.

Lorcan's blue eyes were shimmering with excitement, happiness and gratitude . Dude how'd you wake up with a smiley face that's just creepy. Meanwhile my cold gray-blue eyes gave the same reaction as always, that cold look.

Val brought a cake and stood with it in the middle of mine and Lorcan's bed. "Go on" Hugo said. Lorcan got up and went opposite to Val. "Come Ly" he said, calling me.

My vision was still blurry, I still felt dizzy and sleepy and for some reason cutting a birthday cake started to seem cringy. I don't know why.

I awkwardly got up from my bed and stood next to Lorcan. "We sing right?" Jared said. "Yeah I guess" Val said awkwardly. Oh no. This was so embarrassing.

They started singing 'Happy Birthday' and immediately after the first verse ended I blew out the candles and rolled to my bed and hugged my bolster.

"Sleepy head" Lorcan commented, giving out a slight chuckle.

My roomies started laughing and surprisingly Lorcan wasn't offended that I blew the candles alone cause once when we were seven, we both got only one cake and I blew the candles out first and Lorcan started crying so my parents got me a new cake just for him. From that day we always got separate cakes.

Funny to think that Lorcan had changed and was way more mature than before and seven year old me and fourteen year old me still have that same reaction of 'I don't care. Not my problem'.

In a second I found myself back in the place where you go when you sleep. That empty place filled with darkness.

I was then woken up by Lorcan at 8am. "Dude get up, we have class! Did you forget? It's Tuesday!" he said, shaking me. I let out a groan and opened my eyes slowly. Oh gosh the sunlight was burning my eyes.

I slowly got up with half of my eyes open, I took my clothes and walked towards the bathing quarters. I took a short shower and came out within ten minutes. It was 8:17 am when I found myself walking towards the great hall.

I went and sat next to my roomies along with Novah and Zayn. I was wished 'Happy Birthday' multiple times. I don't know why but I suddenly felt overwhelmed. Perhaps you call them mood swings.

I don't know why, I suddenly just wanted to be alone and just maybe take a day off. I felt so old, fourteen is insane. Next year, I'll be fifteen... then sixteen... then seventeen... then I'll have to be on my own, I'll be a legal adult. That's old. It's all so quick.
