*the same day, Miyagi-Do dojo*

[ Brett's POV ]

Demetri told me he and all of his friends did karate at a place called Miyagi-Do, so I decided to check it out.

There was a practice a couple hours after school today so I said I'd meet him there to see what it was all about.

As soon as I walked into the large backyard I was in awe of the scenery. My uncle had taught me everything he knew about karate when I was younger, but after he passed I got a little rusty. I was a black belt for a couple of years, but by now I probably forgot a lot of the techniques. I could definitely still throw a punch or two on command though.

My eyes wandered around the dojo, but then landed on the person who I had been hoping I would see here.

Hawk.

I wasn't exactly sure what he was, but I knew from the second I saw him that he wasn't straight. I had a pretty good feeling that no one else knew though, even though you could see it from a mile away. There wasn't a straight bone in that man's body.

He was standing by the koi pond with the Mexican kid who had walked into school with him yesterday and I decided to make my way over there.

I stood behind them for a couple of seconds and heard that they were talking about the Mexican kid's girlfriend. Probably the girl he kissed yesterday. I should really learn his name.

"Hey guys, what's going on over here," I said as soon as there was a pause in the conversation.

They both whipped around fast and looked at me. I say Hawk's eyes suddenly widened and the Mexican kid was holding back a laugh.

"Hey um, I never caught your name yesterday?"

"Oh, it's Miguel! Nice to actually meet you," he said shaking my hand.

"Cool, cool. Nice to see you again Hawk," I said smirking a little.

I didn't want to scare him, but it was fun seeing him get a little flustered in my presence.

"Hey," he said, clearly uncomfortable.

There was an awkward silence for a couple of seconds before Miguel spoke up.

"Oh I think I see Sam! I'll catch up with you guys later!"

[ Hawk's POV ]

Miguel walked away and once he was out of Brett's sight he turned around and winked at me. God I hated him sometimes.

[ Brett's POV ]

Ok yeah. Miguel knew. He obviously knew something was up too or else he wouldn't have left so abruptly. I took that as my signal to make a move.

"So Hawk, how long have you been doing karate?"

He looked confused that I asked something like that, but he answered surprisingly quickly.

"Um only about a year."

Interesting I thought.

"You?" he said.

Before I could answer though, one of the sensei's called us over to what I guessed was the main meeting area. All of the students crowded together and stood in their spots. I walked up to one of the sensei's to ask where I should go.

"What's your name kid?"

"Um Brett. Brett Sikes sir," I said proudly.

He looked at me with judgmental eyes. He had really bright blonde hair and a headband wrapped around it that made it poke out of the sides a little bit. I looked over at the other sensei while this guy was "inspecting" me and he shook his head.
