I've been awake for about two hours now yet I still don't feel getting out of bed. I gazed upon the sunlight peeking through my window curtain.

"Looks like today's gonna be another long, uneventful day." I thought to myself while letting out a deep breath. It's been a month since I graduated high school, and that means being stuck at home just reading books the whole day.

I reached for my phone to check my messages.

"Happy Birthday Bells! Let's hang soon!"
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY BELLA!"
"Hey Bella, HBD"

Oh, right. Today's my 18th birthday. I honestly haven't given much thought about what to do when I turn 18 and I'm not planning to think about it anytime sooner. I'll probably just spend the day like any other normal day.

I heard a knock coming from my bedroom door.

"Bella, dear, are you up? Can I come in?" my mom asked.

"Yeah, I'm up. Sure, mom." I answered.

My mom opened the door and to my surprise, she's wearing a very elegant looking dress. I've never seen her wear such a fancy outfit. Why would she, anyway? We're just another family struggling to make ends meet.

"Hey, mom. What's up? What are you wearing? Is the president here?" I jokingly asked.

"Happy 18th Birthday, Bella my dear! Can you come downstairs? Your father and I have something very important to tell you."

"What could it be?" I wondered.

I washed my face, brushed my teeth, got my trusty pair of blue jeans, and put on a plain white shirt. I then tied my unkempt brown hair in a messy bun.

"Looks good enough to me." I said to myself while looking at the mirror.

I ran downstairs and saw two strangers sitting on our couch. Two women in black suits. One is holding a very large bouquet.

"Happy 18th Birthday, Young Mistress. We've come to take you home."
