Deji's was walking along the streets on his way back home he stopped a bike thet was passing by and took it to his home….
Since he wasn't given transportation fees he it his journey and dropped two streets before his own so as to not cause any misunderstandings
After paying the bike man who was on a black worn out jacket and and a yellow T shirt underneath his trousers were stained with a dirt brown oil and ripped patterns. Deji had dropped in front of of the car park near their area as it was a reasonable distance and a lot if people were always present so it would be difficult for anyone to spot him unless they tried.
He walked causally with a small frown on his face as he patted his pockets "..I feel like I was cheated…" Deji thought to himself "but oh well at least I made money from my work doesn't matter the a month for now " he sighed in his heart
He had walked for a little while now and his junction had become visible there was a big church which he and his family attended opposite their street sit this often caused some trouble ,as Deji's church members always rembered him and always asked him questions he would rather not answer
"Speak of the Holy Spirit" Deji mumbled as he saw his Sunday school teacher, both her looks and attitude match the entity known as a "Karen"
She was the head of the community's gossip department and all the children Deji's age and below always did their best to avoid her. She would approach you with a smile but leave you in the brink of tears, those with high mental fortitude would sometimes have theirs broken down by her
The lady in question came walking towards Deji as he proceeded to move in the opposite direction….but it was futile was she spotted her prey they was only a point five percent chance to f escape
"Hello !!" A lady in her early thirties waved at deji with a friendly smile on her face, dressed in a long gray coat and heels with her hands behind her back as she walked elegantly , black footwear, her short silky hair that was dyed a bright brown in contrast to her black eyes filled with lust
"…"
"…"
"You won't answer me ?" The lady said while puoting as she crossed her arms "or are you too big to greet your sister "she teased
"Sister ?!, Aunty Bissy please you need to stop" Deji put his hand on his face revealing only one of his eyes as he walked closer "I know you want to feel young, but calling yourself sister is too much"
Sister Bissy friendly face slowly turned cold and her smile looked like someone was about to commit a crime " hmm~"
"Y-yes but it just goes to show that the current generation are no match for your outstanding beauty, to be honest I didn't answer you because I almost couldn't tell.." Deju attempted to save his skin. Although he was earlier than normal he wanted to enjoy the few minutes he had before he finally went home….but "This woman!" Deji thought.
Bissy would stop almost any and every one she knew the moment she saw them and engage into a long lasting conversation in hopes of getting some information that didn't concern her at all
And for this reason Deji had always avoided her, but now she was curious as to what he was up to. Deji had always wanted to be a comic book artis since he was little, but it was considered a poor man's occupation or as others called it "the fast road to failure"
Because if this Deju had worked in secret but of course he need an outsider's opinion on his works and he showed it to Bissy one time at church,….. talk about the mistake of the century
While his stories and art were violet they were considered action by his mates at the time, it's was a popular trend among the youths, it was this same woman that branded him as a demonic child with devilish thoughts…..
Deji's Dad being very religious not understanding the meaning of the interpretation banned Deji from drawing in his household and would scold Deji anytime he found any of his drawings.
"Well that's enough I f that it's in the past now" Deji sighed in his heart "well now Sister Bissy I must be on my way, im running a errand for my mom and im already late" he walked away as he waved good bye
"Oh..we'll then get home safe but you have to gist me when next we meet.." Bissy waved him goodbye "AND DONT FORGET TO COME TO CHURCH..I HAVENT YOU SINCE LAST MONTH SERVICE ..!" She yelled as Deji sped walked away from her
"…"
"…"
"…"
Rhe surrounding people looked at he fled from the scene, there goes his public image.
Deji with no more time to spare headed straight home in order to avoid any unexpected variables like what had just occurred
"Hey there..!!" A boy wearing shorts and a green yo with a berette called out
"Boy Scouts?.." Deji thought as he ignored the called
Thug
The boy held onto his clothes "mister won't you look at my poster" pushed a flyer in front of Deji's face "see are you interested?" The boy let a warm smile out
"^Sigh^…look kid where's your guardian.." Deji asked the boy who looked not older than ten what he was doing by himself.There we're other children who were roaming abiut the street alone also but this one in particular was neat and well dressed.
"Oh my guardian?.. what's that ?" The Boy was confused. Deji began to ignore the boy and continued to walk after removing the boy's hand from his clothe
"JACOB !!!!" A girl whose hair was packed at the top wearing a red laced gown with green shambala on her hands who seemed to be around Deji's age called out to the boy in which the latter reacted in a joyful way "sister"
"I told you to stay with the group !, what if you got lost or worse" The girl scolded the boy as she glared at Deji
Deju simply ignored this act and walked away before a misunderstanding came to surface,
"Wait.." the girl called out to Deji handing him the same flyer as the boy
Deji stared blankly at the flyer without reacting "it's comic con…it's being held in ikeja next month I would like you to come if you have time.."she forced the flyer into his hands forcing him to collect it
"I'm going to enter the competition with sister and win so come vote for us..ok mister" the boy said to Deji eagerly
"Hahahaha" Deji let out an evil laughter which made the Girl and her brother shriek in fear "I hate to inform you but you won't be wining" Deji smirked
"What ?!,… what do you know I can and I will win I don't care if you help or not-" the girl snapped in anger until she was cut off by Deji
"I'm going to win and compete..,while I don't know the details this has always been my dream and forte…so I'm going to compete and win" Deji said with confidence as he left the two pocketing the flyer
Deji left with a smile on his face almost blushing from the statement he had made,it was true that he had always wanted to attend one of these he had never thought of it as a competition and was swept in the moment
"…"
"…"
"Sister is he insane" The young boy stated
"You shouldn't say that Jacob.." The Girl corrected her brother "but maybe…yes.."
