Zach's POV:

It's been weeks since I had the car crash.


I almost didn't notice we're almost at the end of January.


At first, all I wanted to do was to count the days till my birthday.


But I actually had to study so hard just to get back on track, that I completely forgot about it.


"Happy Birthday!!!" a loud yell pierced my sleep.


I almost jumped out of bed and hit the floor headfirst.


"mom? What the actual fuck?!" I said.


"honey! It's your birthday! My baby is so old! You're already 18!!" mom chirped.


I sighed.


Dad entered the room holding a cake in his hands.


"happy birthday son! I made your favorite! Red velvet and chocolate!"


"Thanks, dad"


"so, honey, what would you like as a present?" mom asked.


"not a car!" dad jumped in.


"I don't want a car" I rolled my eyes.


"then? What would you like?" mom smiled at me.


"I just wanna get a new job so I could earn money and leave this house for good," I said and rolled on my back.


"Zach! What are you talking about! You're way too young to leave the house! And a new job? What is wrong with your old one?" mom asked.


"Just leave me alone, I want to sleep" I tried to ignore them.


"You have school today, Zach" dad said.


"I know, I'll get up in twenty, now get out of my room!" I yelled.


My dad got the message since in no time I was all alone in my room again.

---------------------------------

I huffed as I was running to school.


I can't be late, or my mom won't stop bitching about it.


I made it just in time to see Olivia standing by my locker, holding a large number of balloons in her hands.


Oh no.


"here he is!!!! Our birthday boy has arrived!!!!!" Olivia chirped.
