Idalia was laid in Miguel bed, watching him as he punched the air a few times, for his 'karate training', his grandma was cooking them dinner while waiting for Carmen to get home from work.
there was a knock on the door, but it was barely audible due to the loud music being played. "Miguel!" rosa yells.
"yeah, we'll be right there. almost finished." Miguel pants, not really paying attention to his grandmother. idalia smiles to herself, hearing his grandmother mutter something she couldn't quite understand under her breath due to the noise.
they was all sat around the table in silence, Idalia felt quite awkward as Rosa gave Miguel and her weird, almost knowing like glances.
"mira quéin está aquí." rosa says, causing idalia too look up upon hearing her talk and the door open, then close.
"Hey guys. Mmm, it smells good in here." carmen smiles at them as she sets her stuff down before joining them at the table.
"Hice pollo y salsa de chile," rosa responds, motioning to the food.
"gracias mama. sorry I'm late again." she replies, then kisses Miguel on the side of his face and then places a soft hand on idalias back. "things are going crazy at the hospital."
"its okay. you're short staffed." Miguel responds, "we saved you some food," he smiles.
"it is nice to see you idalia. Miguel has talked about you," she smiles.
"mama, please." Miguel mutters, looking down.
"I'm alright. this weeks been abit wild, but its Halloween soon. I love Halloween." she smiles at Carmen.
"yes, speaking of Halloween have you guys decided who you're going as for the Halloween dance?" she replies
"well, I was thinking deadpool, but the costumes a little pricey.." Miguel trails off
"well, how much is it?" Carmen asks
"oh, it doesn't have to be deadpool.." he responds
"you want a deadpool?" she says, gesturing to herself and rosa. "We'll make you a deadpool costume," and rosa laughs.
"no. esto no es una maquiladora," rosa replies, and Miguel reaches for his water.
"oh, Miggy! what happened to your hand?" Miguel looked down nervously.
"uhh-"
"No quieres saberlo." rosa answers, and Miguel and Idalia look at each other, a confused look on their faces.

Idalia, Miguel, Hadley, Demetri and Eli all sat around the table as Counseler blatt was giving a speech.
"cyberbullying is no laughing matter, sending a cruel message to someone online can be just as hurtful as saying it to their face. now, im not going to name names, but the other day a mother called me up because her son was crying after some kids online made fun of his facial deformality." Eli looked around nervously, and began to try amd hide his lip. Idalia looked at him apologetically, whispering "im sorry, Eli." then she has the idea, "now, who was it, so Hadley and I can go kick their asses?" Hadley laughs and nods.
"you know...if you're sick of being bullied, my karate dojos looking for more recruits." Miguel says, and for a moment it's almost like Eli considered it, but then shook his head smiling and looked at Demetri.
"yeah, right. you hear that Eli?" Demetri says, making chopping sounds with his hands. "a little karate training, and you're going to kick some major ass."
"you do know who my dad is, right?" idalia asks.
"I'm serious, Demetri. My sensei's the real deal. I'm sure I could get all of you discounts." Miguel responds
