I'm lying in my comfortable bed, wondering what time it is now... Is it still night or is it the beginning of a brand new day already?

"Happy Birthday to you,

Happy Birthday to you,

Happy Birthday Nessie,

Happy Birthday to you!" I hear my parents sing loudly.

So it's August 21st and I just turned 21... It's my most significant, special Birthday. The one I've been waiting on for so long...

I rub my eyes and open them to see it's 7:30 AM.

"It's so early..." I mutter sleepily.

"Get up, Nessie, you gotta go fetch your friend Mike from the train station, remember?" my mom says.

Oh shoot, how could I forget? Mike lives quite far from me, so we don't get to see each other often. Exactly a month ago I woke up to a Facebook message from him saying he's coming round for my 21st Birthday. What a surprise!

I jump out of my bed.

"All the best, Nessie! May your dreams come true," my parents take the opportunity to hug me tightly.

"Aww, thank you!" I exclaim cheerfully.

"Enjoy your birthday pancakes, but hurry up if you want me to give you a lift to the railway station, Honey," my mom winks.

Once I finish my pancakes, I put on my favourite pair of baby blue jeans, a matching long T-shirt and my brown cowboy-inspired outerwear. I finish my outfit of the day with comfortable sports shoes and in no time at all my mom and I are driving off.
