Kai was walking up the stairs, looking at the black face of his golden rim watch. He could see that he still had a few hours until the match. All Westbridge students had been invited to watch their school's Rugby team compete against Eton High's and for certain reasons the high schooler wanted to make it back before it would start.
The reason why Kai had to worry about time was because at this very moment, even though it was a school day, he was at a different school. What's more, he had just opened the door leading to the rooftop, where he found a lone figure.
“I was told you would be here.” Kai spoke up. “A smoker, eh? If you treasure your body you should drop it. In a couple of years, you'll start to feel the difference. It's up to you, the gangs sure as hell will enjoy squeezing the money off of you.”
The student took another puff from his cigarette, before throwing it on the floor stepping on it. He then turned around, looking directly at Kai while making sure his hair was still kept up in the perfect shape.
“People from other schools usually only come here because they want a fight.” Austin stated. “However, the last person I hit saved my arse, so I've decided to take it easy from now on. Since you haven't outright attacked me or challenged me in a flashy manner, I'll take it, you want something else from me?”
Hearing this Kai smiled and threw out a business card. It cut through the air easily, and Austin was able to catch it.
“A green little birdy told me about your fight against a certain school invader. Apparently, you actually managed to hurt that oversized pig monster, which means you're strong.” Kai said. “Let me ask you something. What do you plan to do once you graduate?”
“You might feel on top of the world right now, being in charge of all these kids, but that will change once you get out. I looked into you and judging from your current grades they're barely enough to let you pass, meaning you'll struggle to find a good job, and your so-called 'friends' that might stick with you these days, well, they'll have no reason to stay by your side.”
“Your fighting skills are good… for the average teenager. If you plan to join a gang, you will quickly find out that out there on the streets, where people fight every single day, best case scenario your skills might allow you to be a team leader. You might not be at the bottom of the barrel, but you'll be far from the top.”
“However, if you want a better future, come to the place on that card in a couple of days. If nothing else, I can at least guarantee that you will end up seeing something very interesting.”
Austin looked at the card and could see an address written on it. When he looked up he could see Kai was already about to leave.
“That's it? You've come here to give me a lecture and a salesman pitch?!” Austin shouted.
