How could I forget?

-Good morning! -I said as I walked down the stairs.In a normal day, I would be very annoyed to wake up that early, because I hate early mornings.They disgust me.My name is Alex Russo and I'm 15.Everyone thinks I'm normal.And well, I am.Until they find out that I'm a wizard.I can't take any advantages of that though.Since my dad is very strict, I grew up learning how to be a great wizard and not to take everything for granted.The fun thing about me? I do that anyways.
-Woah! I see someone woke up really excited today.And with a brushed hair.Yeah, something's going wrong in here... -My older brother Justin always annoys me.We fight so much.Inside, I love him.But I prefer not to show it.
-Oh, shut up Justin!You know why I'm excited.
Justin did know so he laughed and stopped annoying me.Even if just for a second.
-Well you better be careful then.This is the first year that dad lets you go to the Magic World by yourself and losers like you always mess things like that up.
That was the stupidest thing he had ever said.I had way better things to say that would make him cry but I just wouldn't ruin everyone's day.I was so happy dad was trusting me to go to the Magic World.This was the first important thing I would do that had something to do with magic and I was going by myself!! I try to be as though as possible with people but today I couldn't help smiling.
My dad went to the kitchen, looked at me and smiled.
-I'm so proud of you, honey.Don't screw this up, okay? -I cannot believe my dad said that.What? Thanks for the support.
Justin started laughing like a pig, of course.Ugh.
-Dad? I'm not, okay?I'm gonna do my best and I'm gonna make you very very proud.
-Do that and I'll give you your phone back.
My phone! I even forgot that with my happiness.Dad got my phone 5 days ago because I was being "very mean with my brothers".Oh, I forgot to mention I have a younger brother, too.He's 12 and he's so stupid that I think he could win all the prizes for stupidness in the world.If that even exists.But if it did, I'm sure he would have like 10000 prizes.And I'm not even kidding.
I was going to the Magic World very early so I wouldn't go to school.Now THAT was a great thing.I hate school just because.I don't think teenagers at young age like 15 like me like school.Well, if you're my brother Justin you probably do.He's 18 and the thing he most loves is school.Ew?
-Okay, Alex.Hurry up.You should go now.The Magic World doesn't wait.You have to go alone.You should go by your wand.And-
-Dad, hello? You told me this yesterday.And the day before yesterday.I already know all I should do.I've got everything I need.Now I just need you to believe in me and stop treating me like a kid.
-Okay, but wait I haven't told you a thing that is really important.
-I can't use a lot of magic.Okay, dad.I already know.Can I?
I didn't even hear his answer because I already knew it.Or didn't I? The minute I used my wand to go to the Magic World, my dad screamed my name and begged me to wait.OMG.Did he have something important to tell me?Okay, I can't go back now.And if he did, I'd probably learn there.It can't be something so important, can it?
I forgot to mention the reason why I'm going to the Magic World.Every year a wizard of each family goes there to look at pictures of your ancestors and from famous people in the world of Magic that were icons to us.I know it doesn't sound cool, but it is.I have a wizard icon called Lola Delilah and she is the best.She is in the Magic World.The coolest thing is that I get to meet her, because she's alive and immortal so she has like 20000 years old.Well, I'm immortal too but I've never met someone immortal like me.Plus, she stopped growing when she was 15 so we're very alike.She's got long dark hair, is not very tall and brown eyes.The same characteristics as me! And she's so cool and has a strong personality.So when I go there, I get to meet her and talk to her.
Okay, my dad wasn't worried about that, no.Because he wouldn't worry if it was just having a ten minute talk to a famous wizard and then go back to our normal world.The same day every year (April 21st) wizards from chosen families have a competition which the one who wins goes home with a special prize, that is one year of free food.And why do we need that?Our snack bar failed and we are totally out of food.We have money because of my mum that works as a lawyer. But if it wasn't for her (and a little bit of our magic I assume) we would be totally broke.
Last year was the first year our family participated of this competition.Justin went there and he won, so my parents are so proud of him and sometimes it can be really annoying and tiring.But I'm gonna do my best today.I want to win this so much.
I got to the Magic World instantly. Woah. It's all that I was thinking and all that I could say. Woah! You can't even imagine what it was like. Elves, fairies, wizards, vampires...everyone was there.Well, only the wizards would participate the competition so I wasn't sure what the elves, fairies and vampires were doing there. Hmm, very weird. So, this really huge guy came to me.I think he was the one that created the competition, like billions of years ago.He was very very very VERY old.
-So, you must be Alex Russo.-He said with a big smile on his face.See? I'm popular even between the old people.-It's so nice to meet you.
-Thank you for inviting me, it's nice to meet you too! -I tried to be as kind as possible.I'm not very nice to people but this was very important to me and my family.
-So, where is your sword?
-What? My...My sword?
I noticed everyone around me and every detail.They've got swords, shields...EVERYTHING.I didn't take absolutely anything with me.
-I'm sorry, I just though we could get things from here.Is there a place in here where I can maybe get a sword or a shield or even a helmet? - I said before he could say something.I didn't even know his name but he was in my creepy list because he was huge and he had creepy red eyes.But I don't think he is a vampire because his teeth are okay.
-No, you can't.I don't know how you're gonna win this thing with nothing to protect or help you...Good luck, Alex.My name is Mr.Albanis, by the way.
WHAT? I would compete with VAMPIRES, WIZARDS, ELVES AND FAIRIES without ANYTHING to help me? Oh, great.I had my powers.I forgot that.I said a spell that would bring me a shield.Didn't work.Tried again, but this time I asked for a helmet.Nothing.Nothing.Nothing.And again...Nothing.What?
I read the information on a big sign that was in the entrance of the arena.´´Your powers are not aloud in here.This competition requires only things you bring from your home.`` WHAT? I was shocked.How would I compete with this million people? Oh, no.
So I entered the arena and started to look for someone that could help me.I wanted to give up.Sorry, mom and dad.But I wouldn't risk my beautiful skin that could be totally destroyed with this competition.I needed something to protect me and I didn't bring anything so...I give up!
No one that was there was hearing me.Everyone was talking or preparing themselves no even if I got a megaphone, then got another megaphone, then got more 9 megaphones, no one would even notice me.
There was this big screen in the middle of the arena that was counting 1:30.Now 1:29...Oh, no.The countdown!It was freaky.Everyone was in the middle of the arena with their swords, knives...And me? With nothing.Just with me and myself and I.Damn.
I didn't even meet Lola yet, and I would just be able to meet her in the end of this thing.That's so uncool, because if I didn't make it to the finish line, I wouldn't meet my idol.
I saw then the finish line.Who got there alive and, obviously, in first place, would win the prize.It seemed so close but that freaking line was damn far.Oh.
10 seconds left, I was freaking out.Everyone was laughing at me because I had no things to help me to win that thing.05...04...03...02...
