No. A fever is when the core body temperaturerises above 37.5°C, and in Fahrenheit that is anything over 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, which is considered normal. However, body temperature naturally varies from person to person. It can also vary according to the time of day and activity of a person. Most doctors don't get concerned about it until it reaches about 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

i swear your body temperature was supposed to be 35-40 degrees? 96.3 seems outstandingly abnormal

Everyone's "normal" is different. If you haven't been ill, then you are probably fine. See the doctor if you're concerned.

98.6 is the normal body temperature. 96 might be a little cool, but nothing to worry about. If it gets below 94 start taking precautions.
