First Firework of the Year

It was New Year's Eve, and I was anxiously waiting near the window to see the first firework go up and celebrate the new year. My eyes full of wonder while my head was predicting on which would be first. Would it be the one that is big and filled with numerous colors? Or the puny fire crackers that pop and fill the night with continuous, vexing pops? No, neither were correct. When the clock struck midnight, I waited hesitantly. Then, out of the darkness, there it was. The first firework of the year. Although, it was not what I was expected. The firework was in average size, with just one glittering color, just one, but still the intensity to find out what would be the first firework of the year was good enough for me.
