"YOU SERIOUSLY HAVE been taking karate lessons?"
Jules's scowl only deepened as she stared out of the window of the car as Shira drove her to school. Hearing about Miguel's incident with Kyler was a surprise to the woman, but the even bigger surprise came when she learned that her daughter had been learning karate from the local asshole. And Jules wasn't really in the mood to explain it all, as all she could think about was kicking Kyler in the face.
"Only a couple times. It's not a big deal."
"Not a big deal?" Shira shot her daughter a disbelieving look. "You could have been hurt!"
"Please," Jules grabbed her backpack from the floor of the car, turning to shoot Shira a sideways gaze. "Those guys may be assholes, but they wouldn't beat up a girl."
"Well Miguel got hurt!"
"And you don't think I feel bad enough about that?" Jules demanded, her cheeks heating up as she scowled, reaching over to open the door as the car slid to a halt.
"Hey!" Shira's voice made Jules stop her movement, tilting her head so she could look at her mother. "Be careful, okay? No more fighting."
"No more fighting." Jules repeated, sliding out of the open door and stepping out into the crowded entrance of the school, not knowing how much truth the words to her mother held.

"YOU LOOK DANGEROUSLY calm right now."
Jules took another deep breath as she shut her locker, glancing at Demetri with a shrug. "I am calm."
"That's something that people who aren't calm say."
Jules rolled her eyes, but she had to admit: her friend was right. She was the farthest away from calm she has ever been. Between the taunts she heard people throwing at Aisha, and the looks that Kyler and his gang of assholes threw her everytime she walked past them - she was ready to literally murder someone. But since she wasn't supposed to be fighting, she was just mentally cursing out people in her head.
"And I hate to say I told you so, but karate really wasn't the best choice for you after all." Demetri continued, Jules leaning her head back in exasperation as they turned the corner into the library.
"Alright, 'Metri, but don't expect me to be nice to you now." She gave the boy a grin, to which he responded with an eye-roll. The two turned the corner, Demetri smacking his forehead on the door to the library when Jules reached over to open it, the girl sighing deeply and patting his shoulder as she passed.
