Playing With Fire (Terry Silver)

Chapter Five

Kreese and Amara walked into the dojo and heard grunting in the back room. Kreese rolled his eyes and walked into the office. Amara decided to go see who it was.

Amara was met by the sight of Terry Silver, hair tied back into a ponytail, wearing the same workout clothes as yesterday, punching a punching bag.
"Have you been here all night?"
Amara questioned him.
"Don't worry about me. I can mind myself. I just want you to be safe."
He said in a dark tone. Terry wasn't bothered by what happened with John. In fact, he was pleased. This just gave him more of a reason to get John out of the way so he could have Amara all to himself.

The pairs conversation was cut short by John Kreese coming into the back room,
"Time for class."
Terry turned around to face Kreese,
"Listen, John. I just want you to know, I haven't forgotten what you did for me. I wouldn't be here if not for you. And I'll do anything to prove my loyalty."
Terry paused.
"Anything."
Kreese walked over to him. Amara wasn't buying this loyalty act of his though. He was planning something and she knew it.
"Let's go to work, Sensei."
Terry smirked at Kreese. Amara took this as her moment to slip out of the back room and into the main dojo. She saw many of the students had already shown up.
"Guys, the limo is coming at six. So don't be late or else we're leaving. Cause my date and I, we on a mission."
Piper scoffed and chuckled at Kyler,
"Oh my god. I bet she doesn't even exist."
Amara walked over towards Robby and Tory
"Hey."
She smiled at the two.
"You uh.. gonna go?"
Robby asked the two of us.
"To prom?"
Tory asked
"Yeah right, let the rich kids have their stupid party. Besides can you picture me in a ballroom dress?"
Tory said causing the three of us to chuckle.
"What about you Amara?"
"Ha. I haven't even registered to West Valley so prom is a no go for me."
Amara put her hands up in defence. They all laughed together.
"I'll be back in a minute."
Robby said, noticing Kenny walk into the dojo. Tory and Amara both nodded as he walked off.
"So you and Robby?"
Amara smirked to Tory, causing her to blush like a maniac.
"Shut up. I'll kick your ass, Kreese."
She warned in a joking tone. Amara scoffed,
"Like you could."
The two smiled at one another.
"So you're really not going to go to prom tonight?"
Tory asked
"No. I can't because I'm not a student there."
"Yeah yeah I know. But I am. I can get you tickets."
Tory offered with a smile
"Oh yeah and who should I bring? I don't have any friends besides you and Robby. Maybe Kenny."
We laughed together.
"Alright class, fall in!"
Kreese shouted and we all took our places on the mat. Terry and Kreese made their way to the front of the dojo.
"Todays lesson is about balance. Not the way Miyagi-Do teaches it."
Kreese turned to look at Terry
"You're going to learn how to get inside the heads of your opponents and throw them off balance."
Kreese continued.
"Pair up."
Piper walked over towards Amara and Robby and Tory paired up next to the two.
"Wanna be my partner?"
Piper asks with a big smile on her face.
"Sure."
Amara agrees.
"Aits!"
Kreese shouts and we start throwing punches to one another. Piper punches first and I block.
"So are you heading to prom tonight?"
Piper asks me.
"No. A bunch of sweaty kids in the schools gymnasium on a Friday night. Not for me."
Amara laughed.
"Oh come on, you should totally come, you'll love it."
Piper begged her to come.
"I can even get you an extra ticket. I'm on the student council and have a whole bunch of tickets that didn't sell."
Piper continued pressing her. Amara chuckled,
"Okay, okay, I'll think about it. But no promises."

Meanwhile, Robby and Tory were practicing,
"You know, you should go. Crashing you know who's big night would be a hell of a way to get your opponents off balance."
"Not as much as if you showed up."
Tory added. Amara overheard this.
'Hell yeah, Tory!'
She thought.
"I'm not a student anymore. They won't let me in."
"Maybe they would. If you went with me."
Tory said.
'Fucking right. That's my girl!'
Amara mentally high fives Tory.
"Did you just ask me to prom?"
Robby asked with a smirk on his face. Robby has had a crush on Tory for a long time.
"Strictly a tactical move."
Tory added on.
"Mmhmm."
Amara said next to them. Tory shot her a dirty look.
"Amara you have to come to. We can introduce you to the Miyagi-Dos."
Tory added on. Amara rolled her eyes.
"I'm not going to prom. Everyone stop bothering me about it."
Amara laughed.
"It's such short notice, we'd need to get a ride. I still need a tux."
Robby added on.
"That reminds me I have zero to wear too."
Amara giggled.
"Just do what I'll do, but something and return it the next day."
Tory laughed.
"Plus well Robby and Tory have their date, we can hang out together."
Piper told Amara.
"I don't know guys."
Amara said unsure. She never had any interest in going to prom.
"I think it's a great idea."
The voice of Terry Silver butted in.
"And if you're going, you're going in style."
Terry said to Robby.
"Yeah we're going."
Robby said with a laugh.
"Fine."
Tory agreed.
"What about you Amara? Tag along with us?"
Tory asked. Our conversation was cut short by the bells of the dojos doors ringing.
