"I'M TELLING YOU, Jules, Miyagi-Do might be scheme."
Jules glanced at Demetri, raising an eyebrow as the boy sat upside down on her couch. She poked his arm, "what kind of scheme?"
"A child labor scheme," the boy sat up, his dark hair messy and his body language tired as he leaned his head back on the couch, Jules trying in vain to juggle the TV remote with two energy bars. "I went over to learn karate, and so far the only thing I've done is paint fences and wax cars."
"Maybe you should come back to Cobra Kai, then." She said, before cursing as she dropped the remote and the batteries fell out. She threw the energy bars onto the coffee table, facing Demetri and raising an eyebrow. "If Johnny tries to mess with you again, I'll hit him with a chair."
"It's not him I'm worried about," the boy scoffed. He gestured vaguely to his face, where a bandaid was plastered across his nose. "More about the scary old guy... and Eli, he's kind of scary lately."
"Wait, Kreese did that to you?" Jules sat up straighter, her interest piqued. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I thought you knew," Demetri shrugged innocently. "I mean, how else would I have gotten a face-related injury?"
"I don't know, maybe you accidentally cut yourself from reading a comic book too close to your face."
"Come on," Demetri shot her a pointed look. "You know I have twenty-twenty vision."
Jules adjusted herself so she could fold her legs under her body, leaning back onto a pillow. "Wait, why are you worried about Eli? Did he say something to you?" She shook her head slightly as Demetri shrugged. "You can tell me that, Dem, you know I'll stick up for you. Besides," she shrugged. "He's all bite. He's still the same kid we knew."
"I dunno about that," Demetri reached over to read the nutritional label on one of the bars, scrunching up his nose, "hey, what's 'maize'?"
"It's like corn or some shit."
"Then why is it in this energy bar?"
"Stop trying to change the subject!" Jules snapped, making Demetri sigh as he faced her, the two sitting on opposite ends of the couch.
"Fine... he said that if I did anything stupid, I would regret it." He reached into his pocket, withdrawing his phone, "so obviously I did something stupid."
Jules leaned forward to read the screen, scrunching up her nose when she realized that it was a Yelp review of her dojo... and it wasn't very kind. Demetri shifted under her glare, "what?"
