The sun felt too bright, the air too thick. "Honestly," I muttered, staring out the window. "Another beach bonfire. And on my birthday? Really?" It was Maya. Always Maya.

I pushed away from the window, the movement jerky. I'd planned a quiet night at home with board games and pizza. Now, the thought of competing with the bonfire's loud music and raucous laughter made my stomach churn.

I sighed, running a hand through my hair. The simple plans I’d made suddenly seemed inadequate, disappointing. I felt a surge of pure, unadulterated frustration.
