My Dream is
Chapter one: my dream is
It was spring time at this little neighborhood, filled with low grade housing, a lit if the buildings here has been standing for more than 30 years now, but all these old buildings added to the quaint and beautiful look that spring has in this little neighborhood.
A beautiful young lady could be seen skipping around the flower filled road holding a basket filled with bagels, humming to the melody that the birds sang, as the wind blew the soft flowers of their buds and litered the already messes up walkway, of the street. Lara Maxwell cheerful young lady, she was putting on a flay pink gown that moves around the direction of the wind her hair, she sniffs the smell of the air, and smiles with affection.
“isnt spring beautiful?" She asked her companion, as she plucked the flower and hands it over to Megan, “indeed it is" Megan replied. They approached Mrs Bentleys house, it was surrounded by a ton of talk trees, even the flowers appeared to grow on the walls.
Lara knocks at the dark brown door with a golden round door knob, “hold up a bit im coming" a frail voice could be heard from behind the door, as Lara stood still waiting for the door to be opened still wearing a cheerful look on her face.
The door knob rolled as a click sound of the locks on a door, it made a squeaking sound as it pulled open, revealing an elderly woman, she was wearing a dark green stripped shirt and a chinos trouser, she had mittens on that suggested timo me that she had something in the oven.
“good afternoon Mrs Bentley" Megan and I greeted as a smile gently crept up in her slightly wrinkles face , specks of grey hair could be seen, falling down the head warmer that she had on, “hello my dears how are you lots doing today?" She asked still in her cheerful tone, “we good, just came over to deliver your bagels as ordered" i said and she smiled, “lovely" she said with a little glint in her eyes as she eubbed her hands together, eager to receive the basket from Lara, as she handed it over to her.
“something smells good in here," Megan said and I hit her with the back of my foot, I knew that she was saying that because she wanted a taste of the meal that Mrs Bentley was cooking, “ow what!" Megan said as she looked at me slightly in pain.
“im having some family members over later maybe I could spare a little something for the two of you, come on in" she said as she turned backwards, leading the both of us into the house, “megan looked at me as smiling happily, “thats how you do it" she said as I just shook my head.
“you both have a seat, let me go rustle up some grub," she said leaving the both of us seated at the living room, “you don't always have to expect something fron the elderly people we help you know?" I said to Megan, still maintaining the cheerful look that I had on, “where is the fun in that, plus I didn't ask she volunteered" Megan replied, “yeah manipulator" I said as the both of us laughed.
A song could be heard blaring from the box radio that she had in the corner, and I felt the urge to sing and so I followed the lyrics of the song, I was happy, and really excited, while singing; “bless my soul ara you have a voice like an angel" Mrs Bentley who I hadn't recognize was watching me for a while said.
I blushed slightly and tried hiding behind megan I wasn't used to singing before other people, said from my mom and Megan, my best friend, ”she has a dream, in this dream she wishes to join the Prestigious Academy for Music" Megan said, “thats a really good dream deary, it might be a long shot, but believe me it will be worth every dime and penny".
She said and I just nodded.
After the meal, Megan and I were all set to go, when Mrs Bentley gave me a little hanky which wrapped something. “mrs Bentley I'm sorry but I cat take this, the meal was more than enough" I said as she just smiled, “honey you have a good heart, but consider this my little bid to assist you in your dreams" she said and I just smiled, “thanks Mrs Bentley"
“you are welcome dearie," she said as we Both walked out of the compound, we had covered a little distance from her house when we decided to uncover the hanky and I saw bundles of dollar bills, my eyes lit up, and so did Megan's. I couldn't afford to pay the tuition of the academy so I had been saving up for five years now to get a chance to at least audition at the school maybe the see my talent and give a scholarship, even though that was highly unlikely, I still wanted to give it a shot.
“i can't believe it my dream could actually come through now after all" I said happily as Megan hugged me, “lara I am so happy for you, congratulations," ahe said excitedly.
“you should be thanking me you know, it's because of me that made Mrs Bentley to see your talent"
“thank you Megan i don't think that I would be able to do any if this without you, I said. She smiled happily as I ran home to break the news to my mom.
I got home but didn't see my mother, then I remembered that she told me earlier that she was going to get groceries, from the nearby supermarket.
I just walked straight to my room and brought my piggy bank, I was so excited as I broke it open and arranged all the money together, since all the money was in cash I would have to take it to the bank later today, I smiled happily looking at the posters of the dream boy band, they were all so gorgeous but the one that I personally loved the most was Jake, he had blue hair and blue earrings, a really broad chest and body features that would make any lady fall for him.
I was hoping that when I went for the audition maybe I would get a chance to be seen by any of the band members, I was secretly hoping that it would be jake, I danced happily in my room looking at myself in the mirror, I stared at my face, and the wierd birthmark that I have always had in my neck was sticking out, it was almost shaped like a bird.
She placed her finger in it stroking it gently as she admired it, she picked up her red compacts lenses and wore them, because she had blue eyes, the compact appeared purple giving her a unique look. She smiled not believing that all she had dreamed of was about to be reality.
She heard some sounds coming from the living room she knew that her mom was back from the store, she adjusted her clothes and went to go welcome her mother, “welcome home mother" she said as she took the slightly heavy brown paper bag filled with some of the basic groceries that a home needs.
“thanks Lara, how was your day?" My face lit up thinking about how I was going to be paying for the audition the next day but before I could answer, my mom noticed my countenance. “hiney there is a glow in your eyes, I love it when you are happy, so tell me, what's the good news".
