Community Activity:Ben Dover: The Start

THIS IS A COMMUNITY STORY, THE COMMUNITY EDITS AND CONTINUES IT:

Ben came back from school and he was sad. He had lost his chess tournament to his rival Candice. Candice was someone he admired, his crush. Candice didn't know this. She was too involved with her boyfriend Dick. Since 2nd grade, Ben had admired Candice and loved her. In sixth grade, when the dance came around, Ben knew this was his chance. He had planned everything. The banner, the flowers, the band. But little did he know that Dick was jealous of Ben and wanted Candice as much as he did. So when his chance came, dick place powder in Bens's milk that made him use the bathroom. At this time, Dick used everything that Ben had set up and Dick claimed that this was his work. Of course, Candice fell in love with Dick and never gave Ben a thought. However, Ben always thought of Candice.

Ben was walking home, it was nighttime and lights were flowing fron cars. It took a while for him to walk home. The mushy, dirty roads crumbled under ben's leather shoes. Someone came up to him from behind.

"Excuse me...are you Ben?"

"Yes. Why?"

"Well, I've been notified that you have been working on your chess skills."

"Yes, yes I have."

"So?"

"So what?'

"Would you like to join the world finals?"

"Sure!!"

Ben couldn't believe his luck. He was still skeptical about this, and he was worried that Candice would be there.

After that Ben trained relentlessly, wanting to impress his beloved Candice. Then, something hit him. When he lost to Candice, he was competing for his school and channel 4 was there. That meant if Ben was invited, Candice would be there too. Ben knew he wanted to impress Candice but he didn't want his love to get in the way. Ben decided he would have to be brave and confess in front of Candice, he needed to be romantic about it. So when the day of the tournament came, Ben was ready. Right before the bus left for Washington, Ben went up to Candice.

 Candice?

Ben?

 Yeh i want to tell you this before the tournament

 What is it?

'' Well for a long time, Ive admired you. When the chance came, I was going to ask you out to the dance but my plans got messed up.''

 I kinda like you too

Ben was crushed.

He asked her "want to come home for some sugma?"

she said "OH, I don't like you like that.... You're like a brother to me..."

Ben was devastated, so he decided to hatch a plan to get revenge on everyone that wronged him, but first he needed equipment, so he decided to buy a few crowbars to hatch his plan. First before the bus left, Ben popped all the tires. After that, the whole chess team was not able to go to finals ending in them dropping out.

Mr Larry spoke up I will figure out who did this and they will be punished

As Ben left the hotel, he knew what he did but, he wasn't proud.

Ben started to cry.

All his life he wanted to be Candice's boyfriend. But now, he had just made the biggest mistake of his life. He would have to confess.
