"I'm not a hero, I'm just a girl who's trying to survive." I say and he laughs "Survive huh? That's what you call stealing, surviving.." He begins but I cut him off. "Ever heard the quote that says;" Nature doesn't know that which is wrong or right but that which survives? " I ask and he nods "I'm not a hero..there's no such thing as a hero, at least not in me." I say and he smiles. "That's what you think." he says lighting a cigarette "Mind if I smoke here?" he asks and I shrug. "There's a potential to be..." he begins but I cut him off "Enough! enough of all that your nonsense, if you'll excuse me I've got to work." I say turning around to leave "What will your parent say if they see who you're becoming; a corporate thief. Will they be proud?" he says and I stop dead in my tracks remembering my parents smiling faces "Our little hero" they used to say. "You know I'm right." he says and I shake my head "I'm not interested.".... *** Meet Ngozi definitely not your typical Nigerian teenager trying to find herself in the midst of the chaos that'd called her life.
