Just as life was coming to an end for the poor teen, his nose caught a scent. He's not sure what it was, but it smelt like food was near and was moving away. TJ's eyes widened as this was the perfect opportunity to to scavenge. TJ was cheap when it came to actually buying food and became a professional scavenger. If he's not shoplifting then he's begging people for food. One of these days he's going to get kicked out of the supermarket. Tj's a predator and his prey was getting away, if he didn't take action then he might just strave tonight. His hand reached over toward the kid's leg that was getting away. A devilish grin formed across his face, a shadow covering his foregead and glasses for a special effect. "Hey kid.. That's some nice groceries you got there..", he deepened his voice to strike fear in the kid's heart.

A few seconds later Tyson droped to his knees, bowing down in front of the kid. "Please! I beg of you, lemme get a bite." All of that was just an act for TJ's true intentions. Back at his old school whenever someone open a pack of chips, TJ was already there. He had two options to steal the food and make a run for it or beg like a dog. If Tyson was in a normal supermarket, he would've been ran off with his groceries. Plus there's nowhere he could go, he's trapped at the school and the kid could easily just track him down. "You see.. I've been living off of ramen noodles and Apple juice tow days after it expired." Tyson wiped his fake tears, for an act he's actually getting kind of emotional about it due to the fact that 50% of what he said was true. He has the cash to buy a lt of food, he just chooses not to. Tyson realize he's begging a criminal, but then again the kid then looked pretty young. Just wait on it, he's going to be eating like a king tonight.

Now its time for Tyson to truly shine. He stood up, dusting the dust off his knees. Now it's time for the ultimate performance. "Look kid, I'll make you a deal." The teen revealed three coupons, kind of like flash cards. "In my hand I hold three coupons. One is a coupon for meat and the other two is a coupon for vegetables." The minute Tyson spotted the groceries, he planned this wonderful scheme. He's no con artist, but it just might work. TJ showed the kid all three coupons just for proof that one of them was actually a meat coupon. "I'll turn my hand and if you guess the meat coupon, you win. But if you lose..", he smirked. The male glanced back at Keith's groceries. "You gimme everything you just bought." Even at a young age Tyson had to hustle to make it alive, the streets of Atlanta was cold. Atlanta mold him into the fool he is today. Matter fact Tyson picked up this trick while in Atlanta, some con artist used on him and took all of his money. Now it's time for Tyson to sucker Keith into accepting the offer. "You're probably wondering what's in it for you. Win or lose, you don't actually benefit from this.." Now it's finally time to seal in the deal.

TJ sighed before checking the cash he had on him. "Seems reasonable enough. For the rest of the school year, for every cash I earn I'll give you 25% of the allowance I make. Trust me, I'm a good kid so I'll find a way to make a lot of cash." The teen flashed the three coupons backwards in front of Keith's face, just a little bit more and maybe he might convince him. Pressure Keith so much into doing it, even though the odds were against him. Out of the three there's only one right choice, a small chance. If positions were switched, Tyson would've went for it. It's worth it. He's not straving tonight. It's cold world, make the best of it. Eat or be eaten. Tyson waited for Keith's decision.

OOC: roll if u do accept odd number u win even number u lose

That's how a fool a play fool. The second Keith chose the wrong coupon, TJ dropped the coupon to reveal it was the wrong one. His target had picked the vegetable coupon instead of the meat one. "Sorry kid, you lose. That's Kesshou academy for you." Tyson didn't care what Keoth had in his groceries, as long as it was edible. There wasn't a lot of horrible tasting food in the supermarket to begin with, so Keith at least probably picked up something delicious. If Tyson keep this up he might never have to use cash again. In a school full of delinquents, only the baddest and smartest will make it out alive. All Tyson has to do was go to his classes and act good in front of the staff, proving that he's changed. Once he's put of this school he's going to continue his old ways of tricking people like Keith, but this time all over the world.

TJ extended his hand forward, waiting for Keith to place his groceries in his hand. It's hard to trust a school full of delinquents, but Keith seemed like he might actually give it. If something like that happened to TJ, this man would've took off like they were having a sale at Top Flight Club. "A deal's a deal. If you try to run, I'll find you and I'll take it by force.", he said that as nice a possible with a smile on his face. He didn't want to look intimidating, hoping Keith might pick the first option instead of running. In TJ's eyes, Keith was no threat. Just another fool that wouldn't survive another year at this school. No backbone at all, allowing Tyson to make him play the game and lose. That's sad.

Tyson paused for a second before realizing what Keith had just said. That's when he remembered back to when he was on the ground and Keith was walking past him. That entire time TJ never wondered where exactly where Keith was heading, little did he know that Keith was going to the checkout. Tyson's body became like jello as he flopped o the ground in depression. "This whole time.." The teen tried to hole back the tears, but everytime he did somehing else reminded him of how he's going o strave tonight. "That's not even the worst part.. THE ENTIRE TIME YOU KNEW YOU DIDN'T BUY YOUR GROCERIES YET AND STILL PLAYED THE GAME!", Tyson yelled. He came to realization that everything he just did was for nothing.

Maybe that's why Keith accepted the offer, just to make Tyson look dumb in the end. It reminded him of what his art teacher told him: "You look but you do not see." It bothered him how Keith played along, just waiting to correct Tyson. "You know what. For a place meant for delinquents, what you just did was just nasty.", he sighed. He lost faith in everything, there's no point in trying anymore if he can't even con a little kid.

After a few seconds of staring, a cheeky grin grew across his face. The male began laughing uncontrollably, the way Keith pulled that off was funny. "You're alright, kid. My name is Tyson, but call me TJ. So how did you end up here?", he asked. Weird, a question like that was usually asked by prison mates after a new guy come. Just because it's a school, doesn't make it any less of a prison. Matter of fact, a normal school was still like a prison to most kids. In prison you gotta know to people that know people. TJ might have to keep an eye on him, just in case he might need aid in the future. Maybe a future meat shield? Tyson learned that looks doesn't matter at Kessho academy, because whatever Keith did must have been that bad to make him come here. Never underestimate future enemies.

The tension between them settled down as Tyson let it go with a simple laugh. He didnt 'let' it go. TJ always held grudges, always wanting the last laugh. When Keith least expected it, he's going to get him back for making him strave. For now TJ was curious how an innocent-looking kid like him ended up at a school like this. Tyson might be one of the few students that enjoyed being here, accepting the fact that his dreams of joining the army's ruined. He loved the thrills of fighting everyday and just being loud. It was Heaven on Earth for delinquents, expect thelearning and school part.

TJ blinked twice when Keith told him his crime. There's no way someone like Keith could possible do that. That wasn't even the part Tyson was worried about the most. A crime like should've made Keith end up in prison instead. "Hold up! How do accidentally sell kids? Thay doesn't add up. That's even worse than what I did. Damn, I bet they're dead right now or some shit. Beause of you," he chuckled. Tyson wanted to make Keith feel guilty about his crime, payback for tricking him. "That's what they all say. Accidents don't make you end up here. How old were they?" That's the question Tyson wondered about the most. In a way, Keith was kind of a sick person to commit a crime like that. They're either dead or wishing they were. TJ watched those type of movies where a kid gets snatched up and become a slave.

TJ loved the title delinquent, it made him feel special. Keith was no delinquent to him, more of a creep for selling kids. "A dozen.. Eggs.. No, wait.. Yeah! You sold uh.." TJ sat down, it took a lot of brain power to figure it out, counting on his fingers. To be honest, Tyson was doing it on purpose. It's time for him to start a new life at Kessho, and he doesn't want to be label as the nerd. "Twelve.. Congratulations, you ruined twelve kids lives. All I did was getting into a few fights and shoot a cop. I also started a huge gang brawl in downtown Atlanta," he lied about the last part. He technically didn't start it, but was a part of it. Tyson just wanted to beat Keith's crime, even though there's no way he could beat that.
