1 Tim McGraw

Standing in front of a full-body mirror was a young woman in her blushing balloon style sleeveless dress, her long curly golden hair has been tied up with a princess crown on top of her head, her tiara was made of a platinum and was surrounded by tiny pieces of diamonds which specifically made for this occasion, her 16th birthday.

She stared at her reflection, her eyes which were brown had become blue, she bites on her lower lips to prevent herself from screaming, the gown she has and her perfect makeup was enough to boost her confidence.

Her eyes were shining with happiness, she didn't have enough sleep for the last two days because of the excitement but, her dress and makeup made her look ravishing.

There was an explosion in her brain, when she can no longer hold her emotion, she picked up the comb on the table and started on brushing her bangs.

In her head, one song has been playing on repeat and with that, her lips parted to sing the lyrics.

"I am so gorgeous, I can't say anything to my face"

"Cause look at my face!"

She giggled as she watched herself blushed through the mirror, she was about to continue when the door suddenly opened and let out her brothers.

Her eyes immediately ran to her brother's clothes, Ethan and Leo Su, her twin brothers. This birthday was not only for her but, also for her other two siblings.

It's not like she had anything against sharing this day with them but she doesn't like the fact that most of their family and friends were always giving them the same gift, it was as if they have forgotten that she is a girl.

When she saw her brother wearing a casual shirt and jeans, her blood rushed throughout her body, it took her months to have her dress tailored and yet her two brothers just took the first clothes they saw in their closet.

She shut her eyes for a moment and took a deep breath, if she remembered it right, it was exactly three months ago when she asked her brother to wear a suit on their birthday and she was certain that they agreed and now seeing them with their casual clothes was making every nerve in her brain to explode.

Once again, she scanned her brother to make sure that she was not dreaming.

Her eyes focused on Ethan, he was wearing a blue polo shirt paired with jeans, her eyes swelled in shock when she saw the sneakers he had, it was yellow which didn't match his clothes.

She wanted to cry, disappointed by Ethan clothes. The only relief she has right now was Ethan's face, despite wearing glasses, Ethan still has a handsome face. His oval-shaped face was so similar to their father, he always had his glasses on even though he didn't have any eye problem.

Alexandria, Leo, and Ethan were identical, If she just cut her hair in short like her brother, no one would have thought of her as a girl, same thing with her brothers.

She took another sighed before looking at Leo, when she finally did, her eyes shut by itself.

Leo was wearing a round-neck white shirt with a stain on the hems, even though she had asked him to cut his long hair, Leo didn't. He kept his long hair and even colored it in blue.

When her eyes lowered on his pants, Alexa's hand moved to grabbed the scissor and handed it to him.

"Leo, you're pants were not ripped enough to make you look homeless. Why don't you use this scissor to destroy it completely," she spoke in distress.

Leo removed his headphone and smiled at his sister.

"This is the trend today Al," he replied.

Alexa doesn't know whether to cry or laugh, so, she did both.

"Yeah, the trend for homeless people," she rolled her eyes on him and turned to her brother Ethan.

"Ethan, please don't ruin this day. I used all the money that I had saved to get this perfect dress-" she has been cut out when Ethan lifted a finger in the air, interrupting her.

"FYI Alex, you didn't save that money. It was the money that Leo and I saved from our allowances while you used yours to buy some useless designer clothes and shoes," Ethan spoke in a flat voice.

Alexa's eyes narrowed in annoyance, Ethan was right. When her parents started giving them their allowances, they all promised to be responsible but all the clothes and bags she saw in the store were begging on her, and she could not say no to a red wedges Prada or the cute Burberry jacket which she had only used once.

But she is Alexandria Su, she will never admit that she was wrong, because to her, she's always right until her mother comes and tell her she's wrong.

"Really Ethan? Those were mostly Leo's money. I might have spent my money by buying those gorgeous dresses and shoes but you always buy those robot-whatever useless things which none of us ever had used," she fought back.

Ethan removed his glasses and glared at her, "You can say whatever you want but I am telling you, one day, robots will take over the world, and when that happened, the humans such as yourself will be their servant," he spoke in full emotion.

Alexandra laughed while shaking her head, amazed by how her brother said those words.

"Don't worry brother, I won't be alive to see that," she turned her back on him to look at her reflection.

Out of nowhere, the quiet Leo who has been sitting on the edge of Alexa's bed with his leg crossed suddenly spoke.

"You two need to stop fighting. We all spent our money on useless things, Al, the money you used to pay for that dress was actually Louisa's allowance. She doesn't know it yet so we better make a plan before that little snitch opens her mouth" he spoke calmly while Ethan and Alexa had their eyes swelled in fear.

"We are so dead!" the triplets spoke at the same time.
