IT’S NORMAL TO BE UGLY, BUT I HAVE FEELINGS.

Current days.

– I couldn’t bear to see you suffering like you did when you were 16, son, if you want to go with them, you can go, but be careful.

Benjamin got up and hugged his father and said.

– Thank you dad, you have always been my hero, thank you.

Finally Saturday had arrived. And I would have this weekend to rest and finish doing my work, as my boss had asked.

It wasn’t long before I knew I would make it.

I was in my room, looking at some clothes in my closet. I hadn’t been out for so long. That I didn’t know if I was going to have any cool outfits.

I was very excited and needed to choose a look that was fashionable.

What the hell Benjamin. You’ve had clothes here for over three years. A lot has changed. I’m going to ask my mother for help.

_ Son come for coffee.

_Mommy, can you come in and help me choose an outfit to go out tonight?

_Of course, son, I’ll help you, but we’re going to have coffee and Paola is in the kitchen.

_ But is he already here?

_You know what a friend he is. He’s already there in the kitchen.

_Devouring all the food, I’m going there.

I finished getting ready and went downstairs when I saw Paola almost finishing the chocolate cake that my mother made for me.

_Beautiful, right Paola, remember that my mother made this cake for her son, that is, me!

_ Hi my friend, are you up yet? Want a piece of the cake?

_Of course, Paola, the cake is mine.

_Calm down, buddy, sit here, I’ll get a piece of the cake.

I just looked at Paola’s poker face, taking the piece of cake and getting a cup of milk.

_So tell me everything Benjamin, are you really going to the club with Art?

_Talk low Paola. I didn’t tell my parents I was going to a club. They think I’m going to a bar. And you’re going with me.

_Of course friend, I’ll go with you, just tell me the time.

_Ron agreed on 9pm, be here at eight, I don’t want any delays.

_Okay, I’ll be here. Wow, I need to see a really cool outfit. Benjamin we need to rock tonight. I’ve even thought about the little steps to take in the middle of the track.

_Benjamin has already thought about whether you’ll find your boss in this club.

_It even looks like Paola. Do you think my handsome boss goes to these poor people’s clubs? No Paola, he goes to chic, sophisticated places.

_Who knows, you can’t lose hope.

So Benjamin and Paola, together with their parents, had coffee talking about work.

Some hours later.

_ Mom how am I?

Benjamin wore a blue velvet cardigan and a bow tie. With a gray coat and khaki-colored dress pants.

Benjamin was feeling confident.

_Wow, you’re such a hottie Benjamin. He said to himself proudly.

_ Mom, am I okay?

_Of course, son, you look so beautiful, wow, I’m even going to take a photo.

_ Mom, please don’t exaggerate. Let’s go to the living room, I think Paola has already arrived.

I went downstairs very excited and it was almost 7 pm. And Paola was ready too.

_Hey buddy, you look beautiful.

_You don’t look bad either. I like your look.

Paola wore a white blouse with a yellow sports suit and also wore a bow tie. And jeans. All star sneakers.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

_Thank you Benjamin. We’re going to have a lot of fun tonight. But before . Miss Leroy, do you have that special cupcake for me to eat?

_ Oh crazy Paola. Are you going to eat now?

_Ah Benjamin, I’m hungry.

_Leave son you also need to eat something before you go. I’m going to prepare a blood bag quickly and it’s still early.

_You’re right. Let’s eat and then go.

Nine o’clock sharp.

I was brushing my teeth and so was Paola. When the clock in the room struck nine o’clock.

_Nine o’clock Paola, in a little while Ron will appear there, be smart.

_Of course Benjamin. I have my eyes open.

Benjamin’s father goes downstairs to see what was going on.

_What kind of mess is this in my living room?

_Hi Dad, I’m sorry I woke you up.

_It’s already nine and five Benjamin! Ron is late.

_Papai he is only late five minutes, soon he comes.

_Husband, let’s go to sleep, leave Benjamin and Paola, they’ll be leaving soon.

_No, I’ll stay here until Ron arrives.

_It’s okay, dad, whatever you want.

One hour later.

_Damn Benjamin, Ron is late, call him.

Benjamin called Ron’s cell phone but it just went to voicemail.

_Benjamin it’s already 10 at night, that bastard deceived you.

_No Dad, he said he was going to spend 9 but something must have happened, he will show up.

Whoever I wanted to fool, I called and sent a message to Rony, but he didn’t answer me.

_This kid never deceived me, he doesn’t like you Benjamin. If he doesn’t get here in 30 minutes, you won’t.

_No Dad, calm down, he’ll show up.

_Son, it’s already late, I think you’d better go to bed.

_No mom, he will show up.

Suddenly Benjamin hears a horn in front of his house and he and Paola are happy.

_See mom, it’s him, Rony has arrived!

When I look out the window I feel disappointed. It wasn’t Rony’s car, but the neighbor’s car. And my father saw it.

_I didn’t say, this idiot gave you a cake Benjamin. It’s not Ron but the neighbor arriving. It’s almost eleven at night, you won’t go out again Benjamin.

_No Daddy, please, he will appear, I know it.

_I didn’t argue with me, Benjamin. You won’t go out anymore. I want to sleep.

Benjamin felt deceived. He looked out the window hoping Ron would appear, nothing more.

Benjamin was almost crying when Paola said.

_Hey buddy, don’t be like that. Maybe he forgot. And let’s do the following. How about watching a movie? Can we watch a movie here, Mr. Leroy?

_Clear! Can see . But you won’t go out anymore. I am going to sleep .

_Come on Benjamin, there’s a new movie I brought. Let’s go.

_I’m going to prepare popcorn with Coke and bring it to you. Benjamin’s mother said he was devastated.

Benjamin and Paola went up to the bedroom and Paola took the film from her backpack and put it in the DVD player.
