He managed to survive the worst.
"As for the second thing," Kyle said, "It's just something I am seriously considering, so it's best you know about it now."
"I plan to graduate early. Next year, to be specific," Kyle stated, "It all depends on the sort of information and research that I'll be doing this year, but if it is like what I think it is ... then the possibility is quite high."
Kay, Sam, Ali and Xing Han stared at Kyle.
"Look, I know this is being very unfair to all of you," Kyle said with a sigh, as he leaned forward and clasped both hands together and laid them on the table, "After all, you all chose to come to Sakura Academy because of me. You could have chosen better high schools ..."
"Stop," Xing Han said firmly, "I think I speak for all of us - excluding Kay, of course - that we knew what we were getting into. We chose what we chose, and you don't have to stay at the school if that's not the path for you."
Ali and Sam nodded.
