miguel and i mutually agreed that i would transport us to and from school since he was in the process of getting his license and it would be easier for the both of us if i just drove us.
as i came to a stop in a parking space in the parking lot i took in my surroundings. it was a pretty large school, a bit larger than my last school but it was definitely nicer.
"we have all of our classes together so just follow me around and you won't get lost." miguel explained.
"ok. is it cool for me to sit with you at lunch? i wouldn't want to intrude on your friend group that is, if you have any." i teased with a grin plastered on my face.
"ha ha very funny. yes you can sit with me and yes i do have friends." miguel let out a small laugh.
"wow, surprising." he rolled his eyes at me playfully before walking towards the building.

it was finally lunch time which meant it was time for me to meet miguel's friends. it's not that i was nervous i'm just awkward around new people. i'm an extrovert, by all means, but that doesn't mean i have a lot of social skills.
we walked over to the lunch line before i was being lead to a table on the right side of the room. there was a girl and a few boys at the table.
they were all conversing amongst themselves until they noticed miguel and i walking towards them.
"hey guys, this is elizabeth. she's new here and i told her she could sit with us." miguel explained. i simply smiled at them, not really sure what to say.
the only girl at the table spoke up to greet me first.
"hi i'm aisha, this is mitch, red, bert, and nate." the girl said with a smile, introducing the other people sitting at the table.
"it's nice to meet you all, can i sit here?" i questioned whilst pointing to an empty seat between aisha and miguel.
"usually hawk sits there but i think we can make an exception." aisha says with a laugh to which i reciprocate.
"speaking of hawk, where is he?" miguel questioned out into the air, seemingly more towards aisha but in hindsight, no one in particular.
"he said he was running late and probably won't be here until after lunch but he'll be at the dojo." aisha explained this 'hawk's' whereabouts to miguel.
"so you all do karate with miguel or just exclusively you and this hawk person?" i asked aisha, genuinely intrigued.
i wasn't opposed to the idea of joining johnny lawrence's dojo and doing karate with miguel and his friends, in fact, i was thinking about it. it doesn't seem that bad, i've always been a very reckless person and i feel as though this could help me a bit with my recklessness and i could become better friends with aisha, miguel, and possibly this mysterious 'hawk' person.
"all of us do it." aisha answered my question, a very short response but i wasn't really expecting a long answer to a very simple question.
─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───
"hey, do you want to come with me to the dojo? i could introduce you to hawk and maybe convince you to join." miguel asked as we walk back to my car once the school day was over.
"i mean, i don't really have a choice do i? i am kind of your transportation to places." i joked.
"you have a point, but i could always just walk there and get a ride back from my mom." miguel stated whilst opening the passenger side door to my car.
"you also have a point. yes i will go with you, i've been thinking about joining anyways so what's the harm in coming with you." i laughed as i threw my bag over my shoulder and into the back seat, miguel doing the same.
miguel told me where the dojo was located after i put my key in the ignition and stared to drive off.
soon enough we arrived. the sign for the dojo read 'cobra kai karate.'
"interesting name for a dojo." i thought out loud as we made our way towards the doors.
miguel told me that we arrived earlier than everyone else per johnny's request.
"el serpiente!" a boy with a blue mohawk greet miguel, embracing him in a 'bro hug'
the boy with the blue mohawk turned to face me. he gave me a smirk.
"elizabeth this is hawk, hawk, elizabeth." miguel introduced us to each other. so this is hawk, the name suits him.
"oh so you're the infamous hawk miguel has talked so much about." i joked and hawk gave me a smile, he looked genuinely happy as he smiled at me.
"you would be correct." hawk laughed.
"i like the blue by the way, it kinda suits you." i compliment with a smile. hawk opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by aisha walking over to greet me and miguel.
"hey elizabeth i didn't know you wanted to join karate! hi miguel." aisha told me. miguel just mumbled a quick hi but before he could actually get a full sentence out it was my turn to interrupt.
"you know you guys don't have to call me elizabeth every time you mention me or just talk to me." i paused for a second and was met by confused faces. "just call me liz. trust me, it's much easier to say that then my full name. well, not really my full name but you understand." i rambled a bit but stopped myself before i could get to far.
"will do." miguel said.
out of the corner of my eye i could see hawk smiling at me. i could also feel him looking at me. like, you know when you can just feel someone's gaze on you, whether it be good or bad? that's how it felt. it didn't bother me at all like it normally would.
A/N hey y'all! i'm gonna try to update every day, if not, every other day.
this chapter was a bit longer than the first one so sorry about that but i hope you enjoyed. i finally got to introduce hawk and aisha into the story, which i'm very happy about.
alsooooo, sorry if the writing is a bit 'sloppy' if you will. i'm very tired but i really wanted to write this and publish it! :,)
