The boy who wants to be an actor

In a rainy day, late in the night, there was a boy walking on the road. He was feeling cold and getting soggy by the rain. He was lost without hope and no place to go. He was walking through a dumpster and he saw a box and he grab it to cover himself from the rain and the cold, but there were other people also. He was feeling anguish and tiredness because he was walking all day long. Then he found himself losing his hope in life, his father just kicked him out of home because he chooses to be an actor and not a soccer player like his father wanted him to be.

The night still and it was too cold. He was all soggy and trying to get warm with the box that he finds and then he starts shivering. Walking all day made him feel tired and hungry but he didn’t want to sleep in the alley because he was afraid to sleep out and for the people near him that don't look good at all and they were covered by a tent. He was passing by the tent when one man sticks his head out of the tent and said...

- Boy, what are you doing here? You don’t belong here; did you lose your way back home?

The boy was afraid and say nothing to him, he just wanted to go out of that alley as soon as he can, but the man kept talking.

- Hey! I’m talking to you. Be polite at least.

The other person that was on the tent stick his head out of it and said...

- Excuse my dad, he didn’t want to scare you. Do you want to come in? It's raining and you can get a cool if you keep under the rain.

The boy didn’t know what to do because he was amazed by the little boy in the tent, he was not expecting that. I mean why a little boy would be on a tent with his dad? or so it seemed (I don’t have place to go so I think I could say yes, I’m already on the street is not going to get any worst)

-Well, okay. - He answered with a shy voice.

-Come, enter and take off your shoes at the entrance of the tent. - said the little boy.

Then the boy approaches the tent and leave the shoes at the porch of the tent, it was a little tent just for 2 people or so he thought, but inside it was spacious. In the tent there where two backpack with utilities and inside they have sheets that looked really old and they were cooking something in a little stove for camping. The little boy gave him some old clothes to change.

- Hey you’re soggy put this on. I hope this fits you, they are old, we find it on a container of clothes. -said the little boy with emotion.

He was perplexed first because the little boy gave him clothes and second he asks with a polite voice...

- Where do I change? Here? Oohh~ no no I’m fine with my clothes.

- Well yes... or do you want to get a cold. -Said the little boy insisting.

The boy turned around and changed his clothes in a small space that there was. It was super uncomfortable, but resigned, he sat down, it hadn't been a normal day at all and he just wanted to rest.

-Friend, why don't you tell us what happened at home that you are out at this time? Because I know you are not from around here.

-Dad don’t be like that! Do you want some soup, it's just water with some rice and condiments but it tastes good? It’s not much but I can give you some if you want.

-If it is not a problem. Thank you. - He said politely.

At that moment his stomach began to growl and he felt a little ashamed. The little boy gives him a cup with some soup with a smile on his face. He took the cup and taste a little. The flavor wasn't that bad but it's not the tasty and delicious food that he used to eat on his home. Now he doesn't have a home and the sadness settled in his heart.
