After the encounter with the two unknown kids, Deji walked straight home.
"I wonder if I'll make it in time?" Deji thought to himself as he entered his junction, his home visible from here he walked quickly avoiding the open areas and the eyes of those in crowd.He didn't want to meet with anyone unnecessarily
When Deji was just a few meters from his building he noticed that his mom was absent but the shop looked like it was still opened
"Could she be inside" Deji sat down in front of the shop ur was only 14:13 I'm other words 2pm so it was still to early for his mum to have closed up shop "oh well I'll just wait till she comes back or close up once it four"
Deji spent over an hour and a half in waiting and there was still no word from anyone,so he just decided to close shop and went inside to rest for the day
Upon getting inside Deji see his younger brother's belongs and School uniform scattered across the parlor all the way to their room, his shoes tossed across the floor, his belt and socks on the chairs
As Deji walked towards their room he saw his littles brother's tie at the entrance as it fell from the dooor that was left open
"You lilltle brat…LEARN TO CLEAN AFTER YOURSELF!!!" Deji yelled "Infact just put your things in the right place from the start , do you get a kick out of being dirty.."
"_Sigh_ Jeez I'll do it in a minute" A silhouette of young boy lying on the bed shuts up "I was gonna do it right now, but as you said it I don't feel like it " The boy groaned
"This fucking brat" Deji thought as his veins became visible on his neck till his head
I seeing how he had successfully annoyed his older brother he went to pick his tie after stretching his body
"Happy now Broooo" He said nonchalantly
"The parlor" Deji point to the parlor as he glared at his brother who went back to lie on the bed as if he had just run the marathon
"Yes that's what it's called " Deji's brother shrugged
"Tobi..The.Pa. Lor " Deji stressed "is it me or the ghost of this house that will help you pick up your clothes around the house ?!"
"Fine I'll go get them" Tobi sighed .his face finally coming to light bearing a stringing resemblance with Deji, you would think he was clone
At the hieght 5'10, walked past Deji, he had already removed his uniform wearing now only a bright round neck white singlet showcasing his lean muscular build and his skin shinned bright bright as if he was a model
While the looked alike as brothers the difference was clear in their builds and upbringing
One had a rough experience growing up and the other a soft one
Tobi was spoilt as a kid and got almost everything he wanted but he never took his family situation into consideration and anytime he didn't get something he wished for he would curse out at everyone saying they hated him and didn't want his to happ or he would call his other relatives to report his family to them
Tobi went to parlor to pick up his things and the room that Deji had left somewhat neatly, was now in shambles after just twenty minutes of his brother's arrival
"There's no poor in talking to that child I'll just fix it up and continue my work " Deji said as he began organizing the room
Their room wasn't anything grand, it was a simple bedroom with one bed and a table decorated like it was meant for one person but with enough room to lay and a tea mattress in the ground
Two windows at the east and north part of the walls with the door facing towards the south A small double door wardrobe with a clothe rack beside it at the west side of the room a table with piles of paper and stationary
" *groans.. I told that boy not to put his book on my stuff it makes it rough and messy" Deji thought as he pinched the spot between his eyes "one trouble for another day" Deji muttered
He knew his but so little brother more than anyone, OluwaTobi, Deji's younger brother was favored and pampered as a child growing up and had now become spoilt and prideful in the worst ways
He would alway put in a good boy act, as if he was the one who did most the work in front of their parents Making himself seem like a good child, whether his actions were calculated or not Deji would have to think about it
Deji reorganize the scattered table, putting his brother's things in the floor or in his bag for Tobi to sort out himself
" next time you won't put your things on my stuff " Deji smirked as sat down to use his phone "where did I put it ?" Deji checked the drawers of the table one by one unraveling their contents one after the other
After a few minutes if searching he gave up on looking for it.Their parent could only afford one smart phone for their two kids who kept in demanding and pestering them for one
Because of this the two brothers had to share and present to get along whenever any parent was present so the phone wouldn't get confiscated
"Maybe I'll just draw and ask 'that boy' when he comes back "Deji said as he took out a sharped pencil and a book that had different shades illustrations in it
[Draw!ng Book]
On the top corner of each page a small text was written and it said "I'm number one"
Deji found out about his talent and love for art at a young age and decided to be a professional artist and just draw whatever he likes
But it was difficult to support financially, and since the career path wasn't guaranteed to make him a living it was further discourage by his mother, and looked down upon by his brother
Tobi entered the room with his back to us and his face to the floor and a hand in pocket humming a musical note
"Na da nada hmm um " Tobi hummed as he walked to the later bed ignoring his bag and books on the floor "ack"
Deji threw a pen at his face "yo, who said you could take the phone" Deji frowned looking at his brother from the wooden office chair
"No one was using it.. so I took it l" Tobi said nonchalantly before throwing the pen back at Deji " it's not a problem no? " Tobi stressed
So much for a peaceful afternoon , Deju thought as he left the room, He knew that looking his brother antics would only make him upset but he froze up as reached the entrance with his stuff
"If you want to use the phone get out " Deji walked towards Tobi before yanking the Jhon from his hands "I need to draw but I can't focus with you around so leave"
" Why do I have to leave if it's distracting for the parlor " Tobi yelled " and I ts way neater than this dump of a room did you even try to tidy up the place before you left ??" Tobi snapped at Deji
But this only added fuel to the fire , with of his anger levels at the max Deji hit Tobi on his face making the later fall of the bed
"Knock""Knock "
"Open this door" a familiar voice called from outside
Deji looked at Toni who he had just hit and immediately froze up when he saw Tobi's expression
"It's show time you mother fu- "
