I don't own Ben 10 characters.

*It's my birthday! I can't wait to eat chocolate cake. I can't wait to see the birthday party clown* Herbert thought. He smiled as he placed his chin on his palms. His elbows remained on a desk. Herbert never saw his first grade teacher near the desk.

''Herbert! HERBERT!''

''Hm?'' Herbert muttered. He began to blink three times. His eyes became wide after he saw the teacher. Herbert glanced at the other children. They had grins on their faces. They were never told off at all.

Herbert frowned. The other children always bullied him. They always mocked him. All because the teacher singled him out.
Herbert always imagined clowns. He liked their white faces, big noses, etc.

Herbert grinned the minute his parents appeared. He ran to them. He walked near them before they approached their house.
Herbert opened the door. Confusion filled his eyes as soon as he found himself in a dark living room. That was when the light was switched on.

A clown emerged from behind the sofa. ''HAPPY BIRTHDAY!'' he shouted.

Herbert gasped. His grin stretched from ear to ear. He approached the clown. ''I'm going to be a clown,'' he said. Herbert glanced at chocolate cake on a table. *Cake slices and clowns are my new friends* he thought.

The End
