The Blade Sharks were cheering from the crowd, their cheers laced with more than a little malice. They were tired of losing to him, he could tell, he smirked, then they should get better and actually give him a challenge.
His smirk faded when he looked around. His grandfather wasn't in attendance. His grandfather had ordered him to win and then not even shown up. It was typical he didn't know why he felt so hurt.
The crowd were still cheering. They would be cheering no matter who won he reminded himself, they were cheering at the winner not at him, he was no fan favourite. He was pretty sure he never would be.
The audience was full of strangers, stupidly cheering him on for something that he was good at, something he didn't even like that much.
"Well done my boy" said a round man in a grey suit. It was Mr Dickenson the head of the BBA. Kai had met him before. His grandfather did not like this man.
"Hmn" Kai answered his eyes going back to the crowd almost staring through them.
"Yes well I will start having to import talent if you keep going through them like this." Mr Dickenson said smiling and fixing his bowtie Kai made him a little nervous.
"Hmn" Kai answered again his attention caught by a shock of bright red hair, he didn't know why but he couldn't tare his eyes away from it.
"Well I had been meaning to ask my boy, have you ever considered being part of a championship team…"
Tala stood with the rest of his team outside the be stadium. They were World Champions it meant nothing more than what he already knew. They were the best. He wasn't sure what he was supposed to feel about that, he looked at the others for some help.
Brian looked angry, but then Brian always looked angry so that was no help.
Spencer had a blank expression on is face, still no help.
Ian looked…well Ian had a really big nose so that was hard to look around
Tala sighed at least they would not be punished. They were the best, they had proved it and they had earned another year of disturbingly hard training…didn't seem fair really…
The coach pulled up and Tala took the lead… and the seat at the back. Would things have been better had Kai stayed? Would the team be happier? Would he? Why was he even still thinking about Kai?
Tala saw Brian looking at him and turned towards the window. Wasn't even any scenery to stare at just snow.
