A/N: Hey besties, I decided to continue this story😌

"What do you think?" Hawk asks, looking at two new guys that joined our class, "Shithead one and shithead two?"

"Too boring." I say to him, "It has to be, unique."

"Yeah, I was thinking more, Mary-Kate and Asshat" Aisha says, causing Hawk and I to laugh.

"Well, I'm Chris-" One of the guys starts talking, but gets interrupted.

"Did I say you can speak?" Hawk yells at him.

"Guys, look, they're just messing with you." Miguel says, walking up from behind them.

"Thanks man." Chris says.

"Besides. everyone knows your names are Assface and Douchebag." Miguel says, and we all start laughing as he walks to us.

Suddenly, I hear the door open, and I look over and see a tall, old, mean looking man walk in.

"Yo, who's that?" Hawk asks me, tapping my shoulder and discreetly pointing towards the man.

"I don't know." I say, and look towards Miguel, who looks just as confused as I am. The man looks around at everyone, as if he's judging us.

Miguel and I walk over towards him.

"Can I help you?" I ask him, slightly raising my right eyebrow.

"No, but maybe I can help you." He says, staring at me.

"Uh, Sensei?" Miguel asks, and I see my dad walking out of his office. My dad doesn't answer, and the man walks over to him and they start talking about something.

————

"Class, we have a visitor." My dad says, stating at all of us from the front of the dojo. "This is Mr. Kreese."

The name Kreese sounds familiar, but I cant place it.

"He's just an observer. Pretend like he's not even here." Dad says, glancing at Kreese. "Mr. Diaz, warm them up."

Miguel walks to the front of the dojo and bows. "Fighting positions." He instructs, and we all do as he says.

"Front kick." We all do it.

"Forward strike." We all do it.

"Side jab." Instead of doing what he says, I stand still. Side jab isn't really a side jab, it's a dance move. Usually, I would participate when we goof off, but for some reason, Kreese gives me a bad vibe.

I am the only one who doesn't participate though, and after the 'side jab' is done, the whole class starts laugiing. I look to my dad and see him glance at Kreese, almost nervously.

"What the hell was that?" He asks Miguel.

"We were just messing around?" Miguel says to him, slightly confused. "We have 11 and a half months until the next All Valley."

"Yeah, besides," Hawk inserts himself into the conversation, "we already know how to kick ass." And everyone starts laughing again.

"Oh yeah, really?" Dad says, "So, you know everything. There's nothing left to learn, huh?"

Aisha starts laughing to herself in the corner, and I silently will her to shut up, but it doesn't work. Dad walks towards her and stands in front of her.
