Chapter 5 : The Young Poet

after i found my family i looked to rise in this place i wanted to be one of it's famous persons but i always knew that would consume a lot of effort and energy but i would never give up on my dreams i started to think about writing poetry and other things so i thought about someone to train me, i asked my father about that 

''Benny,son, listen to me, you don't need anybody to train you,you can rise by yourself,besides if someone trains you and makes you his student you wont be famous,but your trainer will be and also writing poetry doesn't need practice it depends on your authorship talent'' father said

''yes dad,but i guess i will need someone to tell me the rules of authorship'' i said

''it has no rules,but always remember Benny a poet is always calm and decent and never say anything rude'' my father said

''alright Dad i'll never let you down i will always remember this'' i said

i started to think about my first poetry i started to write it and while writing it i thought of my new life and with my new life i mean my first crush i thought that i should love and be loved but that wasn't really on my mind,it was all about the poetry, and when i finished my first poetry i told dad about it my Father went to a friend of his from the countryside and he told him to publish the poetry he gave him my poetry and he published it then and one day a customer bought it 

''BENNY SOMEONE BOUGHT YOUR POETRY'' my father said

''OH MY GOD!! YAAAAAYYYYYYY I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'' i said proudly 

''BENNY THERE IS A POETRY COMPETITION CALLED ''THEE PERFECT  POET'' I GUESS YOU CAN NOW JOIN IT,WHAT DO YOU THINK?'' my father said

''oh,i don't know dad,this was just my first poet i guess i still need to write more poets to guarantee a good rank'' i said

''well Benny,as you like but it was really a good chance you can do what you want'' my father said

i didn't want to let my father down so i had to write more poets as far as i can to have more experience so i wrote 4 more poetry and my father went to his friend again but there was no time to write another 12 which was my goal so i had enough of writing another 5 because the competition was gonna start after 3 days but i had a good idea everyday i can write 3 poets in 3 days so they will be 9 and this was more than my goal

''Dad,i'm Ready to join the competition you can sign my name now'' i said

''Benny are you serious??'' my father said   

''yes dad i am 100% serious and i guess that the competitors wont be that excellent in writing'' i said

now it's one day away from the competition and i was really nervous and i couldn't sleep i was so scared because i didn't want to embarrass myself but i always said that the real ambitious person NEVER gives up on his dreams i slowly slept in bed and i had a dream that was about the competition

i dreamt that i wrote my poetry then when the competitors had a little rest i went to have drink and later when i went back i found my poetry and i felt really proud of myself but when the judge read it i was really surprised THAT WASN'T WHAT I WROTE but when i try to tell the judges that they tell me to shut up or they will disqualify me from the competition but when it's someone's turn the judge read it and i was more surprised THAT WAS MY POETRY i didn't want to shut up but when it was time for the final results the guy who actually stole my poetry won the 1st place and i won the 2nd

at the morning i woke up saying ''NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO'' 

my sister went up quickly to my room

''WHAT? WHAT'S WRONG BENNY'' my sister said

'' i just had the worst nightmare ever don't worry nothing happened it was just a silly dream'' i said

''Okay but what was it about?'' my sister said

''you'll know everything at the competition....i hope not'' i said despreatly

and later it was time for the competition while we were on my way i told my father about my dream he taunted me and said '' hahaha,Benny some dreams aren't true and that dream you had was long and it's no way true'' my father said

''i hope dad,i hope'' i said

but i looked at my father's face and he looked a little worried because the first dream i had became true he feared that this dream would happen too but my mother cheered me and she always gave me advices one our way and i got a little stronger after remembering that the real ambitious person NEVER gives up on his dreams 

''are you ready Benny? please Benny when you are writing don't get nervous and try to write the best thing you have got'' my father said

''trust me dad i will not let you down i wont let any of you down  i know what i'm gonna write'' i said 

also Gonzalo was there to cheer me up and i was really happy seeing him cheering me i took my seat and when the judge said start writing i got worried but i continued writing because i had no problem in that after 1 and half hours i finished my poetry and it was time for rest i went to bring a drink because i was nervous and sweating when i returned back i got worried but i when i looked at my poet i saw my writing type so i thought that it was mine 

''now all the contestants give me your poetry'' the judge said 

after reading a lot of poetry it was now my turn and the judge started reading mine and just like what happened in the dream it wasn't mine but the judge didn't let me speak so it was time for the last contestant and it was my poetry that b*****d was called 'Paul' and he took the 1st place and i took the 2nd and a really beautiful girl called Hillary took the 3rd place i felt bad for her i thought that she should take the first place but it was time to leave 

''hey excuse me,your name is Hillary right?'' i said shyly

''yes,and your name is Benny right?'' she said

''yes,by the way i loved your poet you deserved the 1st place'' i said

''thank you so much but i guess there were some cheating'' she said

''i agree that guy Paul stole my poet i swear'' i said

''what??? then why didn't you say that?'' she said

''i tried but the judge didn't let me do that'' i said

''where do you live?'' she said

''i live here,but i am from the countryside'' i said

''oh nice,it was really nice to meet you,i am sure we will meet again by the way i live in that building'' she said

''oh what a surprise i live in it too,we can talk sometimes if you want to'' i said shyly

''of course we can,now excuse me i have got to go i am really tired ,bye'' she said nicely

''haha okay see you later'' i said

it was now time to go home my dad was really sad and nervous because my dream was true and it was the second time but i guess i should stop writing poets again and start doing something else and i wanted to discover something new so i looked forward for my 2nd dream i hope someday i will be an adventure boy
