It was a Monday Morning and we’d just come in. I was very
tired after the weekend. I just heard the teacher reading out a story from
our ‘The Last Day” and telling us to do questions on it. Then it went blank. I
was in another daydream. Normally when I get daydreams I just get lost in
thought. It started off in my daydream as me reading a magazine and it said
that you could be a model – all you need is your parent’s permission. So I
asked my parents. They said no at first but I edged them and then they said
yes, so I was on the next flight to Florida
with three friends and a parent. We were going for two weeks. Everything is
going to be free, the flight, the Villa. It had a huge swimming pool and
slides on it and a big trampoline. Mostly we were at the beach. We woke up
the next morning and hit the beach again. But then we realised the time. We
had to get to the photo shoot in two hours! When we got to the photo shoot
there was loads of lights and cameras. They took a few pictures of me and
then my other friends and then all of us together. They told us we were going
to be on every teenage magazine. Then I just heard the teacher calling my
name and I woke up. It was a daydream worthy of Walter Mitty. I learned my lesson
that day that dreams can come true.
