Broken Promise - A Eli/Hawk x Reader Book 2

Chapter Six

The Week after that I kept skipping Cobra Kai to learn Miyagi do Karate. Demetri and Me were at Miyagi do waiting for Mr.LaRusso to give us stuff to do the fence with. "The whole fence?" I said. "That's like 1,200 square feet." Demetri said after me. "Actually, times two, You forgot about the other side." Mr.LaRusso said. "Oh, okay, we get it. You're teaching us muscle memory. Do it a bunch of times, develop unconscious karate techniques. How about we just cut to the chase and you show us the moves?" Demetri said handing Mr.LaRusso back the paintbrush.

He took Demetri and I over to the house and started showing us some technique I was not used to and never saw but I tried to keep up. Demetri on the other hand wasn't very good but he's a beginner after all. "I'm not exactly the most flexible. And I have a little trouble maintaining balance. Hope that's not an issue. Disproportionate limbs." he said wiggling his arms around.

Each day Mr.LaRusso taught me and Demetri something different like painting the house "Can I at least use a roller?"

Then he was teaching us to sand the deck area and Demetri got a splinter, again. "ow!" "again Demetri?" I sighed. "yeah." "what is it now?" Mr.LaRusso said walking over to us. "Splinter. Ah, it's a big one."

Then he was teaching us mediation I think. "How much longer are we doing this? My arms are getting tired
and I've had to pee since before we started." Demetri said.

At Lunchtime I was out with Moon, Aisha and Tory, we were all having fun talking about random stuff. "Oh, my God. Yasmine has the same bikini as me." Moon said looking though Instagram. "Tell her she can stay in France." Aisha said rolling her eyes. "Hey Y/n why haven't you been attending any karate classes this week?" Tory said to me. "oh I've been busy hanging out with my brother, we haven't had much time to see each other."

Right after I said that I got a message from Demetri to come back to their dojo to work some more on stuff. "um I've got to go but I'll talk to you guys later." I said grabbing my bag and leaving. "Okay bye." they all said to me.

"I don't know if we'll ever use this in a fight, but if we're ever forced into a dance battle, we're set." Robby said and me and Demetri were watching.

"Whoa. Uh, hey, are we doing
shirts versus skins? 'Cause I prefer to be a shirt. Not saying that you have
to be a skin. Unless you want to. I support your right to choose-" "Demetri, Y/n. Over here." I heard Mr.LaRusso say. "Hey, Mr. L, before we begin." Demetri said reaching into his pocket.

"It's a note from my mom
excusing me from any extensive
arm and leg movements." I rolled my eyes at this. "So, uh, if there's an alternative lesson I could do, Maybe a workbook?" "Show me sand the floor." "You want me to sand it again?
It's pretty smooth." "No, no, not actually, Y/n show me sand the floor." I walked up to him.

"The movement?" I said confused."Yes show me the movement. Remember?" "yeah kind of." I said. "You ready?" "yeah"

He went to kick me but I blocked it. "whoa." I said. "Hey you did it right, now Demetri's turn. When it was Demetri's turn he didn't block it at all and got kicked "You kicked me!" he said.

"Why didn't you block, Demetri?You know this. This is the muscle memory." Mr.LaRusso said to him. "In case you haven't noticed, I don't have muscles." "Do you want to be here, Demetri?" "Not really." "What about you Y/n?" "yeah I kind of do." "Then why are you here Demetri?"

"My whole life I've been, let's just say, less than popular. But at least I had a few friends. And then Cobra Kai comes to town, and next thing I know, my friends are taking karate and becoming alpha jerks. I'm literally being threatened by my best friend. I just wanted to show I could fight back." Demetri said to Mr.LaRusso.

"Look, I understand what you're going through. I do. But Miyagi-Do isn't
about showing off. It's about-" "Self-defense. I know. Problem is, my self is too weak."
