Then next day
Mario woke up. It was late. He laid in bed just thinking about how upset he was that his birthday was a wreck. He just stared at the ticking clock that said 2:00.
"I hate everyone" He thought. "All those people I though were my friends, turn out to be foes!"
All of the sudden his stomach growled. He was very hungry. After all, he had not eaten all day long. He got up and looked out his bedroom window. He hoped that if he did not leave his room all day, that people would feel sorry for him and try to comfort him.( Not that anyone would know about it.)
Mario laid there for two more hours. No one showed up to his house. Finally Mario just had to eat. He got out of bed went to his kitchen. He picked up two boxes of cereal. One was fruity pebbles and one was plain corn flakes.
He wanted to eat the fruity pebbles, but he thought that if he had the boring corn flakes, it might show that he was sad, and then people would feel sorry for him. So he poured a bowl of corn flakes. He tried to eat it slowly so that people would have time to come to his house and see him eating them.
Ten minutes passed. No one had come, and his cereal was soggy. He hated soggy cereal, but he kept eating it so that people would feel sorry for him.
After all the cereal was gone, he wanted to watch a movie. Instead he sat on the couch and buried his face into his hands and sighed. He hoped that people would find him and feel sorry for him.
Hours passed. It was 9:30 in the evening. No one had shown up.
"What is going on?!" He said.
He got up and went out on the porch. No one was in sight.
"Oh...Maybe everyone is too ashamed to see me because they feel guilty about forgetting my birthday. Well I will just go into town with a sad face on, and they can feel more guilty when they see how sad I am." Mario thought.
It was late though. He decided to do it in the morning. when he could be fully scene.
He went up to his bed and got in it. He laid awake, just in case anyone would find him not sleeping, they would feel sorry for him.
