Trouble

38

"Izzy?" Someone says from above me. I look up and see Daniel.

"Yeah?" I say standing up.

"So your engine just malfunctioned. I'm just switching it out, it should be up and running very soon" Daniel says.

"How much do I owe you?"

"Don't worry about it" He says. "I just want you to tell me something"

"Thank you, and yeah?"

"Can you tell Robby I'm sorry? I should have told him before I called the cops, and he never deserved this."

"Yeah, me and Robby aren't on speaking terms" I tell him.

"What happened? Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, we're fine. Do you know when the car will be ready?" I ask again.

"Any minute now, I'll let you know" he says and walks away. I wait for a while before the car was ready and I leave. I drive over to the dojo and walk in. I hear talking from the back room and walk over there.

"What's going on?" I ask. The two men turn around. It was kreese and silver.

"Ah, Izzy. Long time no see" Kreese says.

"Yeah, I know. I've been busy with-"

"No need to explain. Robby told us about your brother" Kreese tells me.

"Us?" I ask.

"Yes. us. You haven't been to practice since it happened. Izzy, meet your new co- sensei, Terry silver" Kreese says.

"I've meet him." I tell kreese.

"That's good. But they made a change in the competition. Girls and boys fight separately, and there is a skills segment. Anything you can perform?"

"Yeah, I can shadow fight with some gymnastics moves" I tell them both.

"That's good. We'll leave it up to you to create your own routine. I mean, you are your number one fighter, right?" Terry asks. I nod and start getting ready for practice.

Tory walks in, and she seems upset.

"Tory, what's up?" I ask. She doesn't answer and throws her bag down angerly. "Tory, what's-"

"I'm fine, just leave me be." She says and storms away. Confused, I sit down on the mat and start stretching. The door opens, and I turn to see Robby walking in.

"Where were you stranger?" I ask him.

"So, you're not mad?" Robby asks.

"Nope. My car broke down this morning, I wanted to talk to you, but I ended spending the whole day at LaRusso auto waiting for them to change the engine. I guess you were just mad at my brother."

"Talk to me about what?"

"So, you know how I was at school the other day, and when I was leaving, I saw a poster" I start. "It was for prom. I didn't know how to ask you then we had our argument so, yeah"

'I can't tell if you just asked me to prom or not" Robby asks confused.

"Yeah" I say and take a deep breath.

"Sure. I mean, I have nothing better to do" he says and we both chuckle.

after training we both walk across the street to the gas station. someone calls Robby's name and we both turn around. It was Daniel.

"I heard what you guys did to Eli" Daniel says.

"What?" I openly ask. He starts telling the story about him and Silver, when someone clears their throat from behind Daniel.

"Ms. Walker, care to show Mr. Keene the new equipment?" Silver asks. I agree and me and Robby walk out.

"Do you believe what Mr. LaRusso said?" He asks.

"I'm not sure. It is sudden, though. And I don't trust kreese."

"Me either" He says.

The next morning, I decide to sleep in. I wake up around three, and the house was empty. I take out my phone and call Robby.

"Izzy, can you meet me at the dojo in 10?"

"10?!" I almost yell. "Dude I just woke up, give me 30"

"You just woke up?"

"Yes, I just woke up. I'll be there soon" I say and hang up. I change into black leggings and one of Robby's hoodies with a tank top under. I grab my bag and walk downstairs, when I see something unbelievable.

"Will? W-what, why are you here?!" I yell.

"Is dad here?" He asks.

"Dad? No, he's never here. But why are you here?"

"I wanted to see you in the all valley"

"Bullshit" I say. "You shouldn't be here"

"I don't care, I wanted to see you" Will says.

"Well you've officially started today's list of bullshit, Will. Now, I have somewhere to be. You can stay here. I don't give two flying fucks."

"No, Izzy I need to say something" Will tells me. He reaches in his pocket and pulls something out. It was a tiny locket from when I was younger.

"What's this? A 'I'm sorry for being an ass for the past five years of your life' gift?" I say and throw it on the ground. I walk out and get into my car.

I really need to stop driving angry.

I get to cobra Kai, and quietly walk in. I stay by the door, and the first thing I see is Robby kicking Kenny. He looked so mad. I walk out and back onto my car. Not long later, I hear a bang which makes me jump.

I look over and see Robby at my window.

"What?" I ask.

"Open the door" he mouths. I unlock it and he walks over to the passenger side. "Why'd you leave?"

"Proms tonight" I say. "Do you still want to go?"

"Hell yeah." He says. "6, I'll be at your house to pick you up"

"Okay" I tell him. "Do you need a ride somewhere?"

"Nope. I'll see you later" he says. Robby kisses me then walks out of the car.
