RIVON CHRIS🕰️🕰️

chapter one

The cold air greeted Chris as he opened the door the or the log cabin house he and his grandma shared,he has lived here all his life that he knew all the features of this place,from the cringing sounds made by the doors and the rattling noise the house made when it rained heavily

He step out,took a deep breath and started walking down the street,this had become his routine for quite some time now and he really enjoyed it,the fresh air,the aroma of freshly baked bread whizzed past him making his head spin,the mouth watering aroma made him wish he had some dollars on him

"Creek Chris",someone shouted

Tilting his head to see who calling him, don't think too far,my name is Rovin Chris,and Creek was given to me because i made a mistake in pronunciation class,since then every kid in dock town started calling me that

"Yo bro, how're you doing?said Benny given him a slight friendly punch on his shoulder

"All good man",i said

"How was the night in that log of yours Chris"

"Are we still on this again...
[Benny interrupting]
"Just kidding,and by the way your face looks grave,penny for your thoughts".

"Just thinking how good it'll feel to eat Makenzie loaf with chocolate spread on it,Ooooh good heavens"

"stop it,am feeling it,am about to get hungry",said Benny "guess what I've got", added Ben dipping his hands in the huge pockets of his sweater,I keep quiet  I've never been the type to play guessing games,he retrieved his hands and along with it came some dollar notes

"Shea heavens wait,where did you get all this?I asked

he made this serious face and said"you could keep quiet and join me for a treat,or I could put my cash back and continue road walking","it's your choice",he said making a wicked grin and I swear he looked like those deceivers on the indigenous churches flyers,my grandma usually advice me against bad friends,but with an offer of Makenzie loaf I could trade her advice for a treat.

Inside the cafe smelt good the kind of smell Abraham blossom would possibly have,I mean if everyone would start their day with something like this the world would have less crime rate"this feel good"I said within bites looking up Ben was busy on his job of reducing the treat to nothing,I took a mouth of mine and drank my tea to send it down

It fells good to have money..someone walk in looking all 16th century and all that,"hey Ben look up,I mean behind you"i said in whisper...

Looking up and glancing behind his shoulders then returning to his burgers"mark got a hell of customers"he said smiling at his plate

"No no no that's not it,the blonde haired man,some thing is off about him",I added
"Vivid imagination,guess you've been reading solawrites  books again"said Ben sitting up to let the food down smoothly

"Kids you've got to get going now,come on get up up"it was a fat over weight lady who did she think she was,I thought,I look and saw the badge,oh she was a staff benny was already up,I slowly stood up and took a glance in the direction of the strangely dressed man but he wasn't there,I hurriedly step out to meet Ben

"The man,in there he's sure looks strange,I mean check out the clothes...

"Everyone wishing to dress like that could actually dress that way, it's a costume",he said sharply

"But there's,like it's more than that",I argued

"Seriously,Chris I think you really need to see a doc",benny said coldly

Maybe I do need a doctor for some other reasons cause lately my tooth ached me badly but am sure of this, something felt really off maybe I've got to run this shit my way,"see you in school... benny"I said after a while

"Look Chris am here to help you, I've got your back",benny said ,maybe he sensed that his words actually did hurt me"am always here for you to talk to,but this is out of the world".

"Yeah",and with that I jogged off

Soon I was home,granny was already up and sitting close to the fire place with a sweater she was walking on, actually my ma nitts and growing up I loved watching her nit and wonder how those wools turns to the clothes I wore during my childhood stages

"Son what took you so long?and why do you look sad,did you get into a fight or something? She asked

"Ma you know your boy doesn't fight",I said forcing a smile I went close to her and kissed her on her forehead"Hmm,I can smell it", I said and walked into the kitchen

"Don't touch my ham",my grandma called out from where she was sitting

"Chill ma,not gonna finish it",I dropped the bottle in the cupboard where I dropped it, packaged the snack and went straight into the bathroom"one day I'll get you a fridge filled with them",I said

"I know you will but till then drop mine",she replied and gave a soft chuckle

I had dress up for school, being in my last year felt good and it also meant that In a couple of months I wouldn't have to wake by 4:30am just to prepare for school and no more bulky assignments to take home and maybe hopefully i'll get a new and better cellphone"bye ma",I said and started for the door

"Son remember to pick my groceries from the bill's I left it there yesterday,I love you son"

I smiled and said "me too",with that I went out ready to face the day's surprises said a silent prayer and walked on

********

"And so the quiz will be needing four participants from each school that way.....[Bell ringing interrupts]

" Yo it's time for soccer you wanna come lose some balls",joked Mike

"I'll rather go to the canteen",was  benny's  reply

As you can guess Ben is a lover of food,and I love food too so we got along splendidly well"did you see Victoria today",I asked benny

"Why".

"I need to return her book to her",i added

"You like her, don't you?asked benny

"What connection does returning a book have to do with liking her",I replied blankly

"Just admit it bro ,and besides it's obvious",he added

"Like explain more ",I said tugging at his shirt

"You're gonna ruin my freshly iron shirt pal,hold on do you really like her?

I nodded,I really hates this part of benny,he just to know more everything including me,like I knew we grew up together but it's crazy,a tap on my shoulder interrupted my thoughts,"bro over there",said Benny  stretching his hand

"Over where?I asked confused

"Vic dude,right there can't you see her",he said fingers still stretched

I looked again "you see he said I know you like her, there's nothing close to her in resemblance there,just admit it,you like her".

"Ok ok fine I do",I said and benny laughed out loudly,"what's funny? I asked
