Cory didn't quite like her birthdays

Cory didn't quite like her birthdays. Not usually, anyways.

But her 18th birthday had started out with every single one of her mother's friends wishing her a 'happy birthday' on Facebook, so it obviously had to be a good day.

Birthdays had always been a big deal in the Hall house. From the second Cory, the oldest of the three Hall kids, was born, her parents were obsessed with celebrating everything about them. She knew she sounded like a spoiled brat when she complained about that, but sometimes the attention was overwhelming. The expectations and work that came with all of that celebration was something that didn't help with her younger sister's anxiety and definitely didn't help with her youngest sister's inability to recognize that other people in the world existed outside of herself.

But Cory? She was perfect. She had to be perfect—she was the oldest kid. The oldest of three girls, born to a mother who only wanted girls and a father who was just over the moon at all times about the fact that he had three daughters. For real. No one had ever met a guy who was more obsessed with having only daughters than Connor Hall was about Cory and her sisters.

But anyways. 18th birthday. Today.
