INTRODUCTION

Adriano Souza lives in sao paulo, he always had the dream of playing professional football. Goal echoed through the room Adriano was in, as sao paulo were winning santos 1-0 In the opening 15 minutes. Adriano on the other hand was pleased to see his team winning such a very Important match. "And this win will take sao paulo to the very top of the table". Adriano coudn't help but squael with excitement as he saw sao paulo were one step closer to the title.


"Hey adriano" rang through the wooden door in Adriano's room. It was his brother Alejandro. "Are you watcging sao paulo again". Alejandro continued. Adriano wasn't pleased at all to here his twin brother's voice Because he would always bring him down from his day dreams and wake him to reality that he could never reach Academy football talk less of pro football. Adriano just offed the box television and headed toward the door.

When he opened it he beamed a fake smile and said "Hello Alejandro". Alejandro just stared at him before saying "mom wants to see us. I think it has something to do with getting a real job and not believing in a fake reality that will never come true". Adriano looked at him with his teeth grinning. He  felt like punching him in the face but he knew that Alejandro was stronger than him so he went along still beaming the fake smile. "Alright lets go". Adriano said.


The two were strolling through the corridor before they finally approached the stairs. Each step had creak to it.


Creaaaak


Was the awful noise that pedruded from tbe stairs with every step. "We really need to chamge these damn stairs". Alejandro muttered.  When they finally reached the bottom of the stairs they saw three figures one in the small living room who was Martini their mother, another in the dinning who was jackle their elder sister, she was on her cell phone and finally Kareyni who was the youngest but still a girl. Martini then called out to the twins. "Boys come here and take a seat. The went and sat down.

Marrini then took a deep breath before saying "Um Adriano so you were rejected by the academy yet again". Adriano didn't respond but he knew were this was going so he just bent his head wairing for rhe verdict. Martini on the other hand loved her children and wanted them to be happy despite their financial issues. Marrini didn't have enough to carry all of them to school so Adriano then dropped out of school and started chasing his football dreams, but the truth was that he was bad at it. He loved the sport and he understood everthing about it but he just still wasn't good at it. Martini on th on the other hand was now capable of sending Adriano to school due to her recent pay rise.


So Martini then finally broke the silence by saying "your going back to school". Adriano was heart broken because he really believed in football he really loved football and he didn"t want to give up on that dream while, Alejandro on the other hand was pleased to hear that. "Pls, just give me one more chance to prove myself". Martini saw how desperate he was so she agreed saying "You have 5 months and if you get rejected again you are going to school. Martini then stood up to deal with other issues while Alejandro just left without saying a word.


Adriano sat there blankly for 5 minutes thinking of his future before heading back into his room and oning the box television Adriano got even more frustrated when he saw

        Sao Paulo 1-2 Santos

Adriano just coudn't help it could this day get any worse he muttered. Meanwhile Alejandro was playing soccer with his worn out ball. He never dreamed of being a professional footballer but he liked playing football. He would usually dribble no one or shoot the ball imagining that he just scored a goal. And then he'll say Neymar jr with a wonderful goal. Alejandro played for some time before thinking maybe i should join an academy. Alejandro just shook  his head saying "Nah Mom is already dealing with one football drop and i don't think she wants another one". So Alejandro just kept playing with the ball with th thought still lingering in his mind while Adriano was determined to succeed in his fifth time of trial.
