*It was the evening, Jenny was walking calmly to the mall, afraid that it would close soon. Once there, she realized she had lots of hours left to celebrate her birthday….**She bought herself a cupcake, the only pastry that could fit her budget, sat down at a table all by herself with a smile….a smile that slowly went away as she took out a single match, lit it, placed it on the cupcake and prepared herself for a wish. It seemed like she really thought about this wish for a while…a wish that resonated deeply with her emotionally since she started to shed a tear while thinking. Content with her choice of wish, she leaned to blow on the pathetic little matchstick, but it blew out before she could do it herself….it was the last matchstick she had….A nervous laugh escaped her lips as tears formed in her eyes, realizing people around were snickering at the rather sad display.**Jenny tried so very hard to not cry in public, biting her lip as tears welled up in her eyes and curled up on the chair she was sitting on, breathing loudly and raggedly. you saw everything from afar, sitting with their group of friends who were laughing at the poor girl*
