Porax and his Secret Guy

Fighting Words Dublin, St. Catherine's Senior School, 5th Class, 20th October 2026

Once upon a time there was this sad guy named Porax. It was his birthday but he didn’t have any friends so he was just crying. He went to sleep and then he had a dream about his teacher’s dog chasing him and then he was scared to find a friend.

He went to school and he met Borax the blue guy and he realised they were similar. He went in to class and his teacher started shouting at them. The teacher kicked them out of school and they lived a life on the street.

When he went home that day he got a note on his door that his house was for sale. Then he lost all the stuff he had in his house. He and his friend got in a fight because he blamed him for losing the house. Borax invited him into his house to stay and they became friends again because of it.

Borax moved house and Porax decided to go with him. They moved to a land full of music. It was the Melody Paradise. They decided to go shopping to get stuff for their new house and they split up.

Porax and Borax made a new friend called Stringy. Stringy became better friends with Borax than Porax was.

Porax got angry so he decided to find a new friend, a talking violin called Violet. Violet found out about Borax and didn’t want to be friends with Porax. After Violet found out about Porax, Porax fell out with all his friends and he ended up alone again. Porax felt very sad and he tried a new hobby and he tried to find a new friend. He wrote about how he’s desperate to find a new friend. As he was writing this, his teacher’s dog started chasing him.

He escaped and went back to school and found new friends. When he found new friends the dog started chasing them again. He chased them into a new happier land called Booktazia...
