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

– Mom, how am I, am I beautiful?

Benjamin got ready for the school dance, his mother fixed the hair that was licked, and he used a donkey brake device, he couldn’t take it off, but Benjamin was happy because the boy he loved had asked him to the dance, and at 8 o’clock I would pass by his house to pick him up.

– Mom, help me fix my tie.

– Calm down my love, you are beautiful.

– What time is your friend going to spend?

– Dad, he agreed on 8 eight, he’ll be here in a little while.

– At midnight I want you back.

– It’s okay daddy.

Benjamin was ready, he looked at himself for the last time in the mirror and felt good, he wore a purple velvet suit, with a green tie, his mother who had helped him in choosing the outfit. He felt sexy and confident.

He waited looking out the window anxiously. Until it was 8 o’clock, he went out the door and waited, when near the square that was next to his house, he sees a car approaching, and Benjamin looks and sees the boy he liked, getting up and waving at him .

– Mom, he arrived, he arrived!

The boy passed very slowly in front of Benjamin’s house and shouted his name.

– Look at the queer waiting, faggot.

And the boy throws a bag full of rotten eggs over Benjamin’s head, hitting him squarely, next to the boy was a girl, and the two laughed at Benjamin, all dirty with rotten eggs and flour.

Benjamin stood still and fell to the ground crying.

After that tragedy, Benjamin didn’t want to leave the house anymore, he barely ate, he just cried, Benjamin’s father went to his son’s room every night, he stayed at the door watching his son suffer, crying, hugging his mother and talking to her.

– Mom, I will never be loved, because I’m ugly.

That hurt Benjamin’s father’s heart, after that day, Benjamin was isolated from everyone.

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.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

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?

_Fala 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.

_Art agreed on 9:00 pm, 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? At Paolaimo 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.

Just to give you an idea of the look.

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.

_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?
