As soon as Johnny and Julianna walked out of their house, Miguel was waiting for them. "Hey, Sensei, Jules, my mom says that I can't train with you guys anymore, but I had this idea that maybe of we went to the dojo before-" "You don't get it kid. There is no dojo. I'm closing it up. It's over." Johnny said, making Julianna's eyes go wide.
She turned to face him, her eyebrows furrowed as she watched him casually walk away from her and Miguel. "Wh- What? Dad—" "Jules, get in the car." Johnny interrupted in annoyance, walking away from the two kids and to his car.
Julianna looked to Miguel sadly. "Sorry. I'll see you at school." She muttered before heading off to her dad's car.
Once she got inside and shut the door, Jules turned to face her dad as if he were crazy. "What the hell dad!" She yelled and Johnny rolled his eyes as he started driving out of the complex and head towards the school.
"Jules, pleas-" "Why can't you keep the dojo?" Julianna screamed. Johnny shut his eyes in annoyance and gripped the steering wheel tighter. "We are respecting Miguel's mother's wishes. If Miguel can't go to karate lessons, there's no point in keeping a dojo if my only student lives with me."
"But what about Le-" "Lexi comes over most of the time as much as it annoys me. So if she wants karate lessons so bad, she can just come over." Johnny said, already knowing what Julianna was going to say.
"But-" "For crying out loud, Julianna! No more buts! I'm already stuck having to deal with Robby ditching, I don't need you fighting me on this too." Johnny snapped, confusing Julianna.
Jules straightened up and Johnny sighed when he realized he said too much, "Robby? What are you talking about?" She asked.
Johnny sighed, keeping his eyes on the road. "His school called... he hasn't been to school in a month." Julianna gawked at his words. "A month!?"
"Oh look! We're here!" Johnny sarcastically cheered as he pulled up to the school. Julianna rolled her eyes, mumbling a goodbye before getting out of the car. As she walked closer to the entrance of the school, she realized Eli was waiting at the doors.
"Oh, hey Eli." Julianna smiled as Eli gave her a little wave and once she was passing him, they started to walk together. "Is everything okay?"
Eli turned to Julianna in confusion. "Yeah. Everything's fine. Wh- why wouldn't everything be fine?" Julianna looked down at her shoes, a laugh escaping her lips as she shook her head. "No. No. It's just... Lexi's always the one that waits for me outside."
"Well, Lexi had to go to history early. I thought at least someone should wait for you." Eli mumbled, fiddling with his fingers. Julianna smiled, finally looking up. "Thank you. That was really sweet of you. And thank you for dancing with me. You didn't have to-" "No! No. I... I wanted to." Eli practically yelled, turning to her and they both grew silent.
