The next day Tory is in school. Miguel walks up to Tory. "Hey do you have time today after school or practice today"he questions. "Sure what's up" Tory says. "I have somewhere for us to go" "really where"Tory says with curiosity and confusion in her eyes. "you'll see" he says with a grin. 

BACK AT THE DOJO. "Show no mercy to your enemies" kreese yells. no mercy, no mercy, no mercy. Tory repeats in her mind. All that anger Tory has bottled up inside is now released on the punching bag. "Ok now gather up in a circle we are going to play a little game" kreese says with a smirk on his face. "Hawk stand in the middle of the circle" kreese says. Hawk gives out a very confused look but he still steps out in the middle of the circle anyways. Kreese point's out to another boy and points to the middle where Hawk is. A boy on the side waves the flag for them to fight. Hawk starts beating this guy up really badly. There is blood all over his hands and he is just punching this guy with every ounce of emotion in his body. He even shed one tear, he is treating this guy like his personal punching bag. When he is finished with him he spits right on his bloody body. Everyone looks scared except sensei Kreese, he looks proud. Then he calls up Tory and this other girl. The boy waves the flag again and Tory kicks her right in the face before the girl even got a hit in. "owe I think you chipped my tooth" the girl says holding her mouth with her hands. "Good you needed braces anyways" Tory says. "someone pick that boy up and get the girl some ice" Kreese yells. After practice Tory waits for Miguel outside. Miguel starts walking up to Tory. "Hey why didn't you come to practice today?" Tory questions. "I was doing something, cm'on ill show you" he explains. Tory and Miguel walk for a while and they talk about how practice went today and how Hawk was beating up the guy. Tory meant to ask if he was okay but forgot to ask. As they arrive at their destination Tory is surprised when she gets there. There was a picnic set up on top of this hill with trees and flowers all over. The things that are on the blanket are a basket with food,cake and drinks. It was so beautiful. "This is so beautiful Miguel no one has ever done this for me" Tory says hugging Miguel. They both sit and talk for a while. Tory talks about all the badass shit she has done in her life like stealing vodka to cope with the pain. Then Miguel talks about how he never actually been on a real date. Well except with Sam but it really wasn't a date, it was a "not date." After thinking about his not date he finally says something to Tory. "I have something for you" he says. "yea?" she says with a confused look scared of what he might say next. Miguel hands her a letter. The letter says, I know we just met each other and that we don't know each other that well but I really feel like this could work. That kiss last night felt so real and its special to me. It was the perfect night sky with the stars and and I want you to be my girlfriend. So this comes down to my question. Will you be my girlfriend? Love Miguel. Tory sheds a tear. This is the first letter Tory has ever gotten. Tory smile's a big smile and neatly folds the paper and puts it in her pocket. She leans into Miguel and they both kiss. "Yes of course i will be your girlfriend" Tory says with tears in his eyes. 

Later on that day after work Tory goes home and puts the letter on her wall with a thumbtack. Tory goes downstairs to make some food for a little brother and her mom. She then goes to check the mail and she see's and eviction notice. Tory runs outside to find the landlord. "Hey" Tory yells. The landlord looks over at Tory. "You can't just kick us out, i said ill pay you back next week i started working double" "You always have an excuse, I want the rent now" he says. "Look please just give me some time my mom-" " I need the rent by next week no excuses this time"he says cutting Tory off. Tory is filled with anger and she kicks the wall outside and goes to her room. She sits there crying in her room wondering what she is going to do now.
