Master And Me

The Competition

"How was your first day back at school lily ?" Mr Goth asked

"It was... It was ok, I don't remember everything" I nodded 

"Why not ?" Mrs Goth asked 

"Tucker gave me this" I spoke, I pulled the flyer out of my pocket "The school is having a competition this year for the schools Christmas play, we get to write it and the winner gets to direct their play but I'm not sure if I should enter it or not"

"Why wouldn't you enter?" Mr Goth asked

"I'm sure a lot of people will enter it and I don't think my writing is good enough nit yet, maybe next time" I spoke not sure about myself 

"Lily, your writing is amazing, you should have more confidants in yourself, I and your dad will be the first ones to buy tickets to your play" Mrs Goth smiled

"I think you should enter, you have nothing to lose because I know you will win" Mr Goth smiled 

I thought about it for a while then nodded my head "I'll enter"

Everyone was happy to hear about me entering the compaction so we ate dinner while talking about what everyone was doing today then after dinner, I grabbed some cans of irn bru then walked up to my bedroom, opened my bedroom door then closed it behind me, I walked over to my desk and put the car's down then I sat down on my chair then put my notebook on my desk open then grabbed my pencil, I started tapping on my book trying to work out what I should write about I know it has something to do with Christmas but I'm not sure what. I kept tapping my pencil, I much of done this for twenty minutes before there was a knock at the door. I got up off the chair and walked over to the door and opened it, Spider was standing there with a plate of cookies.

"Can I come in ?" He asked 

I opened the door wider and stood to the side to let Spider walk in he put the plate down on the desk, and I closed the door while Spider sat down on my bed at the bottom edge. After I closed the door I walked over to my desk chair again and sat down on it.

"How's your writing coming along?"  He asked 

I shook my head "It's not" I sighed 

"Do you have any idea? even just a small idea" He asked 

"An orphan" I spoke

"Boy or girl?" He asked

"Boy" I spoke 

"Does he have a name?" He asked 

I thought about it ... what if the orphan was St Nicholas ?" I asked him

"That would make sense, Santa was an orphan so he bring happiness to everyone but how does it come to that ?" He asked 

"What if he started by making up games to cheer up the other kids then when he was a teen he learned how to carve things out of wood so he started carving figures and toys, he gave them to the kids on the 25th of December then he started making hot chocolate and even gave them out for free not just for the orphans but for the other family's and kids on the village, he then starts giving the toys out on 25th of December, he would seek out at night band on midnight and left the toys outside for the other kids in the village then he out the orphan kid's toys at the end of their bed before claiming back into bed" I spoke

"That sounds good" He nodded his head "But how will he get to the north pole?"

"What if the word started to spread from one village to the next and then all around the world until it got to the north pole, the elves heard about it and send an elf to see who was doing this so the elf went back and told the other elf about him so they went to ask him why he did it and when he gave them the answer they asked him if he would go with them to the north pole with them and if he brought happiness to the elf's then they would help him make the toys and help him make sure all the children had a gift on the 25th," I told him

"I like it but what did he say to the elves?" Spider asked me 

"He said he does it because everyone should have a bit of happiness no matter if they are rich or poor," I told him

"And what does he get out of it?" Spider asked 

"A  warm heart, the happier everyone got the happier he got," I told him

"I like it" Spider smiled 

"Thanks, can I tell you something ?" I asked 

"Of course" He nodded 

"I kind of want to win but kind of don't," I told him

"Why wouldn't you want to win?" He asked 

"Then I have to direct it and I'm worried no one will listen to me" I bite my bottom lip nervously 

"Then what if I help ?" He asked 

"Really !" I asked surprised

"Of course, I will be your assistant" He smiled 

"Waw thank you so much, Spider" I jumped off my desk chair and hugged him which made him hug me back. After I hugged him I sat back on my chair

"Well I better leave you to work," He told me 

"Thank you for helping me spider" I smiled at him

"Anytime" He smiled then walked to the door and walked out so I turned to my paper and pencil and started working on the play while eating the cookies and drinking the drink. It took about six attempts to write it and three days to make it exactly the way I wanted it then I managed to hand it in.
