The Karate Code ~Robby Keene~

Gossip

Miraleigh walked down the halls of the school, hearing whispers follow her to her locker. She grabbed her books for the next session and then saw Sam walk over to her. She smiled at Sam and closed the crappy metal door for the locker. Miraleigh saw the look in San's face and knew something was up. She faced Sam, holding the books close to her chest. 

"What's happening?" Miraleigh asked, they started walking, Sam explaining everything. They turned around the corner, Miraleigh froze instantly seeing Kaylee dressed up like Yasmine and Moon. They walked up to the two, smirks covering their faces. 

"How long have you been lying to me?" Miraleigh asked, trying not to whisper to her. 

"Since we met." Miraleigh nodded, shaking her head and bit her lip. 

"She's told me all your secrets, every thing detail."

"You're a bitch, all three of you." Miraleigh spat in betrayal, she walked away and heard Sam chase after her. 

"Are you okay?" She quietly asked, Miraleigh nodded sighing and pursing her lips into a thin line. 

"It sucks, but I'm okay." Sam nodded and shook her head. 

"Don't worry about them, it will be okay." Sam reassured, Miraleigh nodded and grinned lightly. 

"I was wondering if you'd like to come over today?" Sam asked, Miraleigh nodded smiling brightly and felt relaxed

"I'd like that." Sam grinned happily and then looked at me with a happy look. 

"I went on a date with Miguel last night! It was amazing!" Miraleigh squealed slightly, hugging Sam and then watched her with a grin. 

"Tell me all about it!" She giggled, telling her that he took Sam to the mini golf course/arcade. She won a toy octopus and then they had a cute little karate stand off and kissed.

"It sounds perfect." Sam giggled, nodding with a blush. 

"It was, gosh I couldn't stop smiling after it was over." 

"Don't worry, I would do exactly the same thing." They both laughed and continued walking around the halls. They spent the day going to classes, then meeting up at breaks. Samantha was glad Miraleigh trusted her, she was a better friend than Moon and Yasmine. Miraleigh, walked down with Sam to the LaRusso car. The two girls at the pool, their legs dangling in the water. Sam looked over her shoulder, seeing her father. She stood up and walked over to him, taking the box from his hand. Miraleigh watched them curiously, standing up as Sam waved her over. Miraleigh, looked at the two confused, Sam handing the box over to her. Miraleigh gasped opening it, seeing a brand new phone. 

"Is this for me?" She asked grinning, they both nodded and Miraleigh let out a happy sob and hugged Samantha and turned to Daniel. 

"Thank you so much, I cannot thank you enough." She gleamed happily, Sam took Miraleigh to her room and helped her set it up. She gave Miraleigh, her number and her parents. She then made sure everything else was setup and showed her all the basic uses. 

"Thank you again, you really didn't have to do this for me." Miraleigh quietly said, Samantha rubbed her back and nodded with a a small smile. 

"You're welcome, look this way if you need anything you can call us. We'd be happy to help you." She reassured, Miraleigh nodded and placed the phone down. 

"So, tell me more about the date." Miraleigh smiled as she sat back and Samantha giggled nodding. 

"When we did our little karate stand off, he was correcting my stance and then I kinda took him down. He was so shocked, it was cute and we kissed." Samantha got her phone out, showing Miraleigh photos of the date. She smiled at them, glad Samantha had Miguel. They looked cute together and she wishes she could meet someone like that. 

"Anyone who has caught your eye?" Samantha playfully asked, Miraleigh giggled and shook her head. 

"Not really, I mean there's this guy that I'm becoming friends with. He's pretty nice, kinda like me has it hard but he gets it so." Samantha nodded with a grin, giving her a look.

"What's his name?" Samantha asked. 

"His name is Robby, he actually works at one of the dealerships." Miraleigh explained, Samantha grinned and nodded. 

"I've heard dad talk about him, he's teaching him karate. Which is good on my behalf because it means I don't have to do anything." Samantha explained to Miraleigh, she nodded and they continued talking for hours. It got late so Miraleigh went home and looked at the phone. She worked for a couple of hours and then went back home. She made herself a sandwich, grabbed an apple and then sat on the couch reading. 

Back at the LaRusso residence, Robby was doing some training with Daniel. He thought about Miraleigh, he thought about how she flinches every time a door is slammed and how her father treats her. 

"Mr. LaRusso, there's this girl and I was wondering if while teaching me karate. You could teach her as well?" Robby nervously asked, he wanted to help her as much as he could. 

"Of course, let me know when she answers." Mr. LaRusso said, Robby nodded with a lopsided smile and continued training. After they were done for the night, he got on his skateboard and headed for the shops before buying a couple of things for her. He then headed for her apartment, he carried the shopping bags up the stairs as well as his skateboard. He placed the skateboard by the door and knocked a couple of times. He smiled softly, glad to see her. She returned the favour and looked at the bags in his hands. 

"I bought you some things." Miraleigh gave a sigh, but smiled as she let him in. She grabbed his skateboard and placed it in the inside of the apartment. He placed the bags on the counter, taking everything out and then started packing. Miraleigh, watched the boy shocked and confused. He watched her face, chuckling lightly and watched her grabbed her wallet and grab cash from her week's pay and handed it to him. 

"You don't need to pay me back, keep the money you work hard for that." He gently said, grabbing some of the items he brought and started making her some food and himself. Miraleigh  looked at him again and continued holding the money out. 

"Take the money, I'm not letting you walk out empty handed." He shook his head, ignoring her and continued making a meal.

"Keep the money." He said in a sing-songy tone, she continued to try and give him the money but after a while gave up and placed it back in her wallet and by then Robby had finished making food. 

He sat at the counter with her and started eating, smiling at her and then licked away the crumbs on his lips. 

"I was speaking to Mr. LaRusso, I asked him if he would be willing to teach you karate. He doesn't know it's you, but I just thought you might want to know how to do all of that stuff." She smiled at him, nodding happily and grinning. 

"I'd like that, a lot. Thank you for thinking of me." She quietly said, he nodded and then watched her eyes twinkle. She held a phone up, with a nervous smile. 

"I was given a phone, I was wondering if you'd like to keep in contact?" He nodded, grabbing out his phone and placed in her number. He then took a photo for her contact photo and chuckled at her face and saved it to her contact. She did the same, smiling and then placed her phone down.
