Dad had gotten enough money to supe up his car. He was very about that, and not gonna lie it looked pretty badass. Summer was hot, and I was not enjoying it. Hot meant less clothing needed to be worn, which meant less baggy clothes and more skin. Luckily we had air conditioning in the dojo otherwise I would’ve gone insane.
I tried to keep it as far in the back of my mind as possible. Hawk had been helping with my eating habits, making sure I had just enough of the right stuff to keep me from fainting during sparring.
But, We had new kids in the dojo, which meant, new nicknames of course.
“Wadda ya think? Shithead one and Shithead two?” Hawk motioned to two new boys, the ones who had sucked up to us before
“I was thinking more, Mary-Kate and Asshat” Aisha grinned
Me, Aisha and Bert were taunting the new kids. It was kinda fun, won’t lie.
“Well, I’m Chris-”
“Did I say you could speak?” Hawk raised his voice
“Guys look, they’re just messing with you” Miguel walked up, making everyone smile “Besides everyone knows your names are assface and douchebag”
I burst out laughing at that. We all did.
“That’s what you get nerds” Hawk grinned
“Hey now, don’t get too cocky” I smirked
“Or what princess?” Hawk smirked down at me.
I raised an eyebrow, and ya know, just… casually flipped Hawk onto his back. He tried to roll me over by I straddled him and pinned him down.
“Submit” I smirked “And behave” I giggled
“Yes ma’am” Hawk gulped
I got off Hawk, offering him a hand down, which he took as he got up. Miguel instantly started bugging him while Aisha gave me a knowing look. I just rolled my eyes and got myself some water. What I hadn’t noticed, was someone had walked into the studio.
“Quiet!” Dad shouted, we all quickly went to our lines, but something was different. Someone else was there. An old man- that face why do I recognize that face? “Class, we have a visitor. This is Mr. Kreese, he’s just an observer”
“Oh hell no, observer my ass, get the hell out” I charged up to him, pointing at the door
“Harlyey get back to your spot”
“But dad-”
“50 push ups-”
“On my knuckles, yeah i know” I muttered
"Ah, so this is the daughter. She's nice ain't she?" Kreese gave a creepy look.
I gave Kreese a mean look, getting on the ground and doing as I was told. Mr. Kreese was my dad’s old sensei, and completely screwed him up. I hated him with every fiber of my undiagnosed I.E.D being.
“Now pretend like he’s not even here. Mr. Diaz, warm them up” Dad ordered
Miguel got to the front of the class, bowed and started the drills.
“Fighting positions! Front kick! Yuh! Forward strike! Yuh! Side dab! Yuh!”
Everyone dabbed, breaking out into laughter afterwards. I smiled as I finished up my push ups, standing beside Miguel.
“What the hell was that?” Dad questioned
“Uh oh” I sighed
“We were just messing around” Miguel defended “I mean we have 11 and a half months until the next All Valley”
“Yeah besides, we already know how to kick ass” Hawk spoke up
“Oh yeah, really huh? So you know everything?”
“Dad, it’s fine. Miguel just-”
“No no, you think there’s nothing left to learn huh?” Dad was not in a good mood. Kreese’s pressure was on him, and I honestly felt bad. Aisha had started giggling, that was when I got worried “What so funny Ms. Robinson?” Dad stood in front of her
“I’m sorry sensei. You just wouldn’t understand” she smiled
“Try me”
“It’s a snake-do” she grinned
The rest of the class tried to hold back their laughs. Dad had no idea what was going on.
“What’s a snake-do?”
We all started doing it. Hissing and moving our arms around. Over the summer we had become quite the gang, band of misfits if you will. Which meant inside jokes.
“Quiet!” Dad had had enough “5am tomorrow morning, corner of Fulton and Raymer. You don’t show, and you’re off the team” he was pissed off “Class dismissed”
Everyone stood in shock. Kreese followed after my dad, I quickly rushed over and stood in front of him.
“Hey” I tried to look as intimidating as possible, fuck being small “You hurt him. You won’t be getting up after the first hit”
Kresse made a mock scared noise, following dad into his office. Everyone stared at me. My hands were shaking, I was losing it fast.
“You heard sensei! Everyone get out” Aisha spoke up
Everyone quickly snapped into action, grabbing their bags and filling out the doors. I turned to go see my dad but Kreese slammed the door right in my face.
“Whoa whoa whoa- hold up, your knuckles are busted enough Harles” Hawk grabbed my arm, stopping me from breaking the door down
“Harley who was that g-”
“Not now Diaz” Hawk stopped him, wrapping an arm around my shoulder “Let’s go get some water okay?”
Hawk moved me over to where I kept my water bottle, sitting me down on a bench. I wouldn’t drink anything, or eat, even when Hawk asked. I was enraged the entire rest of the day, but Hawk stayed with me so I didn’t explode. I couldn’t believe that shitbag was back. Dad had really started getting better and I was proud of him. Kreese was just gonna set him back to the beginning. I had to do something
