Darcy Lawrence

The Dojo opens

I was us for ages staring at the ceiling thinking about him. I was so worried that he wasn't going to show up at the dojo and every now and again I checked my phone to see if he had texted. Eventually I dealt with the fact that only time could tell what was going to happen so I drifted off to sleep...
The next morning I got up at 7 like always, grabbed some clothes, (a Nike crop top and shorts) made myself and dad some breakfast and hung out with Miguel until around 10.30 when my dad took us both to the dojo early to help him set up. I asked him to punch the bag and I couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Jesus Miguel! What are you doing?" He looked at me confused. "You need to plant your feet and strike hard! Now try." He tried again and did it much better. The door opened at 11 and Demetri walked in hesitantly and Eli followed. Eli walked up to me and kissed me. "Don't do that in front of me please!" My dad sounded very uncomfortable with it and we laughed. I was so relieved that Eli was okay. I don't know what I would've done. "How are you princess?" He smirked and put his arm around my shoulder cautiously. I could tell he wasn't used to this sort of thing, I don't think he's ever kissed anyone before me either. "I'm good little bean. You excited?"
"Yeah really excited."
"QUIET!" We all jumped and my dad started pacing the floor back and fourth. "Fall in!" We all stood in a line nervously and waited for the next instruction.
"Dude what's up with your lip?" I was disgraced and embarrassed that my dad would say something like that! "Dad stop it!"
"I'm just gonna go home. Sorry Darcy, I'll text you." He walked out and I followed after him while the rest of the class carried on.
I caught up with Eli once he slowed down a bit. "Hey I'm so sorry about that! Are you okay?" He turned around showing his ocean blue eyes which were glistening with tears. "Don't be. He's right and so was Kyler."
"What are you talking about your perfect! Don't you dare listen to them okay?"
"Wake up Darcy! I'm a loser! I'm never going to have any other friends other than you three. I'm never going to get a girlfriend. I'm never going to be anything other than the kid with a weird lip!" He stormed off and my eyes flooded with tears. I couldn't bear to see him like that. I went back to the dojo to grab my bag when I saw that Demetri was leaving too. I followed him in hope that he was going to find Eli. "Hey Demetri, are you okay?" He looked at me and said, "I'm  sorry darc but it's just not for me." I guessed from the start that Demetri would quit but I asked him to tell me if he saw Eli so I knew if he was okay.
For the rest of the day, I was on my phone calling and texting Eli, but the messages weren't delivering and the calls just kept going straight to answer phone. At about 5 o'clock I got a call from Miguel telling me that he found Eli and he's okay he just wants to be left alone but he said he would come by the dojo tomorrow. Miguel came over like usual and we just talked for hours until I finally got to sleep...
