Bloody Fists
chapter five

Davina crossed her arms, leaning against the yellow concrete wall of her apartment complex. She raised an eyebrow, starring into miguel's soul as the boy tried not to crumble under the girls stare. Though they were friends, Miguel had seen her bitter replies to Demetri

"you want me. . . to join your karate dojo?" Davina asked, repeating the question he asked her only moments prior

Miguel swallowed quickly "yes. . that's exactly what i'm asking"

Davina rolled her eyes "what is it with everyone trying to recruit me for karate? do i seriously look like i want to kick six year olds asses?" Being reminded of when the older dude tried to recruit her back at the halloween dance

Miguel shrugged in return. Davina raised her brows

"no- it's just. . ." miguel panicked "you have spark in you?"

"so i'm a light switch?"

Miguel sighed, accepting his fate "look, maybe you can meet my sensei. he's super cool. . . there he is."

A sound of a door closing caught their attention, Davina's next door neighbour ( who she was sure was a vampire , because the only time she ever saw him was at night, when she could barely pick out any feautures ). Miguel smiled, pointing at the middle aged blonde man.

Davina squinted her eyes to get a closer look. Seeing the man who approached her during the Halloween dance "he's your Sensei?"

Johnny looked over, his gaze turning into a glare when his eyes landed on the girl.

Migeul waved him over "hey Sensei, this is my friend Davina, I think she'd be perfect for our dojo."

"no"

Miguel's smiled dropped "no?" he repeated his sensei's words.

Johnny shook his head "i said no, this girl is never stepping anywhere near my dojo mat"

Davina scoffed "like i would waste my money and time learning from an old man who's a few years off his death bed"

Miguel looked between the two confused "do you both know each other."

"she threw an orange at me" the man yelled, annoyed. "And then lied to me about where she got the orange from!"

"you were creeping me out." Davina exclaimed "what the hell were you doing at a high school halloween dance?"

"recruiting karate students" Johnny answered

"and how'd that work out for you?"

the man ignored her, turning to face miguel "never, ever invite her anywhere near my dojo again. she's banned from it"

"but johnny! she's awesome" Miguel shoulders slumped, a sad look decorating his face "she's got iron fists and she's not afraid to fight someone."

"she's a monster in disguise" johnny fired back "she's a snake, she'll use you and baam! you're suddenly her pray."

"did you just call me a snake?" Davina snapped.

Miguel pointed at the japenese girl "exactly, a snake! she's cobra kai material"

Davina furrowed her eyebrows, "i'm not a goddamn snake."

johnny gritted his teeth "she's a girl, your lucky i let aleisha- or whatever her name is into my dojo."

"aisha" migeul corrected "and you want more students- she's perfect."

"no she's/i'm not" johnny and Davina yelled.
