New Boy | Miguel Diaz

Mine

We made it to the movie on time, and Miguel paid for our snacks. He came back with a big bucket of popcorn and two sodas.

We sat in the trunk and talked for a bit until the movie played.

Over time, Miguel and I would throw popcorn at each other and talk about how stupid the characters were.

When the movie ended, Miguel took us to an empty park and we laid together in the field.

My main focus was on the stars, but I could sense his eyes on me.

I turned to face him and smiled. He placed his hand on my cheek, and kissed me.

"I know we agreed to take things slow, especially since it hasn't been long since the breakup, but I'm ready for you, Ava. I wanna be with you, I like you so much. And I can't wait any longer.

"So, will you do the honor of being mine, Williams?"

I look away for a second, then kiss him again.

"I guess I'm yours, Diaz."

Miguel immediately hovers over me and covers my face with kisses. After a moment, we share one deep passionate kiss.

He looks at me in the eyes; smiles and laughs.

"I've been waiting for this moment since the day I met you."

"You and Sam..."

"I thought you were just a silly crush, but overtime, I had realized my feelings for you meant a lot more than I thought. Every night we spent together, I wanted it to last forever. When you first defended me against Kyler... I was amazed at how wonderful of a person you are.

"You're my best friend and I appreciate you so much. I promise to never hurt you, Ava. If I do, you and your dad have my permission to kick my ass."

I laugh, and brush my thumb against his cheek. What an amazing sight in front of my eyes.

Mr. LaRusso had marched into the dojo, clearly pissed.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?"

"Like you don't know."

"Take your shoes off the mat. You're disrespecting my dojo."

"You're seriously gonna talk to me about disrespecting dojos after what you just did to mine?"

"What the hell are you talking about? I didn't do anything to your dojo."

"Just like you didn't slug one of my employees, huh? You know, part of me actually felt bad for you at one point, but you make it so easy to remember who the bad guy is in all of this. You call yourself a sensei? You don't even know what a sensei is. A sensei mentors. A sensei elevates. He doesn't teach destruction and disrespect!"

"I already said I don't know what you're talking about, LaRusso. And you don't know what you're talking about either."

"Yeah, well, I know you don't... you don't earn the Medal of Honor by stealing it. Let me tell you something about your sensei."

He announced to everyone.

"He might teach you how to fight, but he doesn't know a thing about what it takes to truly win at life. If you want to help yourselves, before it's too late, the doors of Miyagi-Do are wide open."

"You think you can come in here and poach my students?"

"And what are you gonna do about it? You know I'm not gonna strike first."

"I'm gonna be a bigger man."

"Yeah, we'll see about that."

When Mr. LaRusso left, Chris gathered his stuff and headed towards the door.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"What the hell Chris?"

He looked around the dojo. "I never liked it here."

A couple more students followed Chris out, leaving the dojo now half empty with students.

What the hell just happened?
