CRASH! I fell off my bed and landed on the floor, waking up on the floor. I had hoped someone would say “Happy Birthday!” as the day began, but as the hours passed, I realised that no one in my family had wished me well. My cousin just said, “Hurry up, get ready so we can go.” She didn’t even acknowledge my birthday, and I felt a wave of sadness wash over me. It was as if they had all forgotten.
Once I was ready, we hopped in the car. I shouted, “Bye, Mum! Bye, Dad!” but my cousin snapped, “SHUT UP!” As if it wasn’t even my birthday. Despite that, we drove off to eat, which definitely lifted my spirits. Afterward, we cruised around looking for nice places to visit.
Then my cousin said, “I want to take you somewhere special.” When we arrived, I suddenly heard familiar voices calling my name. To my surprise, my parents and siblings appeared, shouting, “Happy Birthday!” It turned out they hadn’t forgotten at all they had planned this surprise the whole time.
Surrounded by colourful balloons and my family’s love, joy flooded over me. I turned to my mum and asked if I could go on the hot air balloon. “Yes!” she exclaimed, because she had bought one just for me. My cousin and I climbed aboard, and as we floated higher, I leaned over the side to admire the view below.
Then, out of nowhere, my cousin jumped, and I lost my balance and fell out of the hot air balloon. AHHHHHHHH!!! As I landed, my mum rushed over, anxiously waiting for news. Fortunately, the doctors said I was lucky because I only fractured my spine.LUCKY!! As i screamed i am not lucky but my mum said “ it’s alright the the doctors said “ it would heal in about five months.
