The morning sun filtered into Seraphina's bedroom, stirring her from sleep. She stretched and yawned, a smile spreading across her face. Today was no ordinary day - it was her 18th birthday!
She grabbed her journal from the nightstand, eager to record her thoughts on this momentous occasion. Flipping to a fresh page, she tapped her pen contemplatively. "How to capture this feeling in words?" she mused.
Before she could write a line, her bedroom door burst open. Her sisters Isabella and Raven charged in, mischievous grins on their faces.
"Wake up, birthday girl!" Raven shouted as she and Isabella burst in, pillows in hand. Before Seraphina could react, they gleefully whacked her with the pillows amidst squeals of laughter.
"Hey, not fair!" Seraphina protested, grabbing a pillow to defend herself.
"All's fair in birthday surprises!" Isabella declared. She smacked Seraphina again who tried ducking away.
