If you could give your past self advice, what would it be?

Every year at exactly 4:00 p.m., Corban receives a birthday message from his future self via the Birthday Bestie app. Usually, Future Corban drops life-saving advice—but not this year.

As 4:00 p.m. ticks closer, Corban expects grand predictions for the year ahead. Instead, his future self delivers a cryptic warning:

Don't celebrate your fifteenth birthday. Seriously. Just… don't.

Determined to outsmart the app, Corban sets off on a quest to figure out what that means, hoping he can somehow change the future.

Birthday Bestie is a funny, fast-paced YA time travel short story packed with futuristic technology, a clever time loop twist, and a sweet coming-of-age story. Perfect for fans of lighthearted science fiction, quick reads, and stories about outrunning destiny.
