Das coisas esquecidas nos "Meus Documentos"...

 Encontrei hoje este conto que escrevi há alguns anos (para o Yázigi, rs), e como ando muito saudosista de minha pré-adolescência ultimamente - um universo em que a palavra "Vestibular" era uma realidade muito distante de mim - decidi postá-lo aqui, embora realmente não seja um texto do qual me orgulhe.
                 
                     GETTING TO THE TOP: The tale of Kevin,Harry and Josh.

Once upon a time, there were three brothers: Kevin, Harry and Josh. Although they were extremely different from one another, they shared one main characteristic: their passion for music.They were all very talented and gifted,and had the ambition to become someone in the music industry someday.

On a cloudy wednesday, the three of them were going back home after a long day at school.Suddenly, Kevin stops his younger brothers, when he sees this major banner on a brick wall, where the coming words were written: “New Talent’s Contest- Contact Richard Geller for further information”.Thinking it was an excellent opportunity,they decided to participate of this contest.They didn’t know back then,but that banner was about to change their lives for good.

Arriving from school,the boys told their parents about the contest.Their mother, Veronica,thought it was a great chance for her kids and got excited about it as well.But their father, a renowed lawyer, was not so pleased about it, though.The thing is that Kevin, Harry and Josh’s father wanted them to follow his steps, becoming lawyers as renowed as their father,and thought that music was just an unnecessary distraction,wich he did not aprove at all.After hours of a heated discussion, their father prohibited Kevin,Harry and Josh of participating of any contest that involved music.Is not necessary to describe how devastated the brothers were.But their destiny was to be great, and it held surprises for them.

As that unhappy week went on, Kevin,Harry and Josh’s father did not change his mind. Which made the boys miserable,sometimes thinking how wonderful would be if,at least once in their lives,they had the guts to disobey their father.

At last,the day the boys craved the most, friday ,had finally arrived.During a hard Mathematics test,the class was interrupted,by no less than Richard Geller,in flesh.He was there with a purpose, of course, and he soon made it clear:seek for new talents to participate of his contest. Being three of the rockstar’s most dedicated fans, the boys were thrilled to see their idol for the first time, face-to-face.Richard, making the students’ math teacher extremely upset for his test’s interruption, made all the students form a line,and show their talents. Finally, the boys’ turn came, and they presented as a band.Richard,by the end of the brothers’ presentation, was almost jumping of joy.The rockstar insisted in having the boys presenting in his contest.And that was the moment the boys decided to rebell for the first time in their lives.They were going to participate of that contest, even if they were grounded for life later.

They elaborated a strategy,and of course,their mom was gonna help them to run away.Finally, the day arrived,and it was all set: by 9 p.m., the boys would pretend they were going to bed, when actually were about to jump out of the window, get their mom’s car and go to the pub where the most important event of their lives so far was gonna be held.And that’s what they did.However, they were not counting on the fact that their father would find out sooner than they’d expect.

Then, Kevin,Harry and Josh arrived, and went straight to the backstage.Nevertheless, astonishment hit them hardly, when they saw who was there: their father.They standed, absolutely perplex, in front of their father, speechless.But,if they were astonished by their father’s presence, they could not be more blown away by what he had to tell them.First of all, he said how sorry he felt for trying to keep their dreams away from them,and that he was very proud of their talent.Feeling happier than they had felt in years, the three brothers got on stage, showing their talent like never before.And all the effort was more than worth it: they won the contest, getting the chance to record their own cd, and their dream of becoming real rockstars finally came true,except for one slight difference: it was even better.
