Hot For Sensei

Chapter Twenty-Four

          Ivy awoke the next morning to shower. Having spent the better part of the day crying, she was eager to wash the depression off. Just as she dressed in shorts and a tank top, there was a knock at her door.

"Fucking Miguel always waking up so damn early full of energy like a damn crack head..." she cursed to herself, towel drying her hair as she moved to answer the door.

She flung the door open to see Miguel, and to her surprise, Johnny too. They both wore goofy smirks.

"Did I miss something?" Ivy asked with raised brows.

"Nah, just thought you might wanna cruise with us before class." Johnny smiled.

"You know I'd never miss a ride in the Challenger-" she looked over them with a smirk only to gasp in shock.

The blaze orange Challenger was gone. In its place was a black beauty with yellow decals and racing stripes. A mighty cobra hissed from the grill as the car glimmered in the sunlight.

"You've got to be shitting me!" Ivy looked over the car, her mouth gapping like a fish.

"Got it spiffed up yesterday. Needed to get that damn LaRusso plate off, and then I thought, hey, might as well go all out." Johnny crossed his arms with a grin.

"That is seriously bad ass!" Ivy grinned back, "Let me get my stuff quick!"

She sprinted back into her apartment, shoved her purse into her karate bag, and then ran back out to the car. She put her bag with theirs in the trunk before they got in- Miguel in the passenger seat and Ivy in the back. Johnny handed her a pair of sunglasses before he rolled all the windows down.

"Ready?" he asked the teens.

"Let's go!" Miguel urged as Ivy smirked excitedly.

With a nod, Johnny put his sunglasses on and turned the key. The engine roared to life with a satisfying purr, and Johnny moved to turn on the radio. AC/DC's "Back in Black" blared from the speakers as they peeled out of the apartment complex and into the Reseda streets.

Johnny sped through the city, revving the engine whenever he could, and Ivy relaxed into her seat. It was a beautiful day of sun and summer breeze, and she could think of no better way to celebrate it than by riding in the Challenger.

Eventually they reached a stop sign that Johnny didn't feel like blowing through, and they crawled to a stop as an expensive looking car paused beside them. Johnny and Miguel were head banging in sync in the front, and Ivy laughed as she noticed the two women in the other car were staring at them. Miguel looked over, sensing their gaze, but Johnny quickly stopped him.

"Don't look, play it cool." Johnny continued to head bang, ignoring the women.

Miguel whipped his head forward to try and look cool as Ivy chuckled in the back.

"Real smooth, Migi." She whispered.

Johnny then revved the engine loudly and sped away, leaving the women in the dust as they continued on their cruise.

When they reached the Dojo, they saw that all the new kids were back and waiting outside. Johnny smirked as he parked and killed the engine.

"Alright!" he nodded, excited, "You two take these kids on. I have to make some phone calls quick before class."

They all got out of the car and got their bags before Johnny unlocked the Dojo. He went to his office as Ivy and Miguel ushered the new kids inside.
