A/N: What? You want to read this? Well, I'm not gonna say no! So go on, learn something new about ordinary life.
"But... it's my birthday! Do I have to do homework?" I ask. This is going to be the start of a bad birthday.
I am nothing special. Ordinary. Plain. I am Brooke Waters. Never heard of it? Probably. I have brown hair. So do many other people. I am 5 foot 7. So are many other people. I am normal.
Just like everyone else.
I walk downstairs, hoping for something new to happen. It's my birthday, and all I'm doing is the normal routine. Wake up, homework, free time, eat, sleep. It's never changed. On weekends I still get up at the same time like I would for school.
Still normal.
However, I am allowed to dream. The only place where I am not limited. I have an imagination. I am inventing. I am creating. I am building. I am creative.
The guests are going to be here soon. I always have my birthday party on the same day, July 25th. The next day at school, at 8:45, my name will be announced.
It's not like I don't like it. I know what to expect, nothing out of place. Not an extra second to spare. That's because I've made sure of it. So have 8 billion other people, actually. Our world will always be the same. We've destroyed all the mountains, filled in all the caves. Flatland, we call it. There's the common tree farm, along with lakes, blocked off to make sure someone doesn't fall and drown.
You see, here, we cannot die. We have a cure for cancer, back in 4067 people discovered ways to keep living forever. Our population keeps growing? Nope. Everything is normal. A new person is not normal. Therefore, no new people.
I focus on making my birthday perfect. The cake has to be baked for 25 minutes 42 seconds, it will take 76 seconds for me to get out the frosting, with 23 minutes to frost it. 80 seconds to put it on the table, at a 89 degrees angle.
Simple math, really. I've been doing it like this forever. Just like everyone else.
Just like normal.
A/N So did you guys like it? I hope so! I based the homework part off of me. I WISH HOMEWORK DIDNT EXSIT. Anyway, thanks for reading and stay tuned my Moons! Has a nice ring to it, eh?
