Title: Question1) Write about a birthday experience that was not as enjoyable as it might have been.

I woke up early on the special day. It was not any other day, it was my birthday. I tied my hair in the best fashion and got ready to go to school. I stepped into the class and say a loud “Good Morning!” but my classmates ignored me and I left to sit quietly.

During lessons, I tried to hint my friends but when I was about to open my mouth, the teacher, with impeccable timing, told me to answer a question. As I was not paying attention at all, I could not answer and had to remain standing. But I still continued to hint them.

Unfortunately, this movement and talking drew attention to the teacher. I was told to stay back for recess for ten minutes. What attention! I was supposed to draw attention to my friends not the teacher. During the punishment, my mind was racing with many thoughts. “Why have my birthday turned into the unluckiest day of my life?”

“Have my friends really forget my birthday?”

After ten minutes of “detention”, I rushed to the canteen. When I looked at the time, I was only left five minutes. I had no choice but to go back to class.

When I reached the classroom, I was totally disappointed. Little did I know, some boys played prank on me by giving me “presents”. At that point in time, I did not think much. I thanked them and went back to my seat. I saw the boys sniggering and thought something’s fishy was going on. I opened the “presents” and realized that they were just rubbish taken from the dustbin. The class laughed at my embarrassment.

And finally the school came to an inevitable end. I thought at least my family would remember this pathetic big day. When I reached my home sweet home, sad to say that not soul was in the house. At that time, I was in despair.

I dumped my bag on the floor livid with anger and saw some notes on the dining table. The notes all said that they were not free on this day. They only left a “Happy Birthday”, not even a present! What a coincidence.

For dinner, I ate instant noodles and sang the birthday song to myself. Everyone had overlooked my birthday. I would announce it to them in advance next year. I went to bed that night and cried.

Bye, takecares.
