A/N: Hi, kindly read this first before proceeding to the story, I promise Iris and the others won't go anywhere! :)

So this is the very first drafts of Wild Boys. For my readers of the published Wild Boys (2.0), you might get confused when you see names of characters being interchangeably used, such as Ares, Axel, etc. So for a better experience, I recommend that you read this as a whole another book, but with some inspirations drawn from it of course. In my opinion, this version is much more lighthearted. You'll soon find out!

I won't keep you any longer. Happy reading! :)

Are you a student looking for a job? Say no more fam, Pierre's here to give you a helping hand!

Iris skimmed through the whole text, feeling both suspicious and curious at the e-mail that's been sent to her just this morning. Was it spam? No, it came from a legitimate sender. But she couldn't help but wonder if this was a prank or something. It just felt too much of a coincidence; yesterday night, she's been relieved from her last job as a waitress at an Italian restaurant.

She drummed her fingers on her desk, her eyes narrowing at the look of the e-mail. A boy's face was included in it, its head moving back and forth with a playful expression, daring her to get her phone and enter the number. This must be Pierre. This was the first time she's received such a funny looking mail and usually she'd just ignore it and go about her life. But the offer in it was too good to be ignored.

"Or too good to be true," she mumbled to herself.

She stood up from her chair and went out of her room, heading for the kitchen to make herself a sandwich. Her thoughts drifted back to the e-mail.

The money in her bank account could still hold for another week, but that was it. Finding another job this week would just get in the way of her exams and she couldn't afford to fail in them or else her scholarship would be put in jeopardy.

She gazed up at the ceiling. So far, she's always been able to find a way out of whatever messy situation she found herself in. Ever since her Dad had gotten into an accident in his work, which was a year ago, money has always been the number one issue. Good thing that she was on a sport scholarship in the academy, so she would only have to think about staving off her hunger and sending the rest of the money she earned back to her father. If she was just a normal student, she would have no choice but to drop out and go to a public school; after all, you'd have to be filthy rich to afford an education here.

She only had a single year left in this prestigious school! She'd want for this to be on her college applications in the future. Every student that graduated from this school was guaranteed to enter the top universities in the country. 

It's her gateway to helping her family.

Finishing her sandwich, she headed back to her room. The moving head of 'Pierre' was still ongoing in her laptop, his smile inviting her. She read the whole text again, making sure to get every word right.

Not only was it a coincidence that a possible job was being dangled right in front her, but it also looked as if this Pierre knew her personally.

There is only one requirement for you to get this job! Don't worry, I'm sure this will be easy as pie for you, dear.

Now, she was almost sure that it really was for her. This Pierre hadn't sent her this offer randomly. He knew her for some unknown reason. He knew she had lost her previous part-time job. Most of all, he knew what she's good at. Her eyes stopped at the three words that followed next.
