"Que pasa compadres? Wait what am I saying? What's up friends? My name is Richard "Izzy" Bueno. And until about a year ago I was a normal teen Mexican American…."

I went to school and had a good day. I got home from school and there was a letter for me on the table. I yelled out "Ama where are you?" No answer came so I said "must be at work… again."

I dropped my backpack and opened up the letter. And it said " Hey Izzy, come to New York for a while because my bosses want to talk to you. See ya, Your cuz, Dante."

My mind was reeling. I thought "I better go to New York!"

I got my clothes packed and went to the air port to catch a flight to New York City. When my flight arrived I was stuck waiting at the airport for Dante and no one came. I was about to leave when a guy in a joggers outfit and wings on his sandals said "Are you by any chance Izzy Bueno?"

I said "Que? No habla ingles." To see if he would understand. And then to my surprise he said " Es tu llame senor Izzy Bueno?"

I looked at him and in English said "who want's to know?"

The guy said "I am Hermes. And I am your escort to the Empire State building. So let's go."

Twenty minutes later…

We arrived at the Empire State building and Hermes said "This is as far as I can go. So just walk into the front desk and ask for Dante. And also say your name. The security guard will give you a security pass card. You go up to the elevator, put the card in the slot, and press button number 600. You will go all the way to the top of the magnificent palace, and walk through there."

And with that I walked into the building, walked up to the desk and asked for Dante.

The guard said "Mr. Bueno 600th floor," and handed me the card.

I walked up to the elevator, slipped the card into the slot, and pressed 600. I was inside the elevator and the song that they played was "My Life" by Lil Wayne and The Game.

Well there's my first chapter of my first story. I know it was boring but it will get better. I would like to thank my friend Chris Tomerlin for helping me edit my story. Please check out his story The Prophecy of Light. Read and review. And no flames as they will be used to make steak.
