The weekend had passed and it was now a Monday. During that time Katie's mind was in a constant state of a blur. After what had happened to Miguel, she went to visit him the next day to check up on him like she'd promised. Miguel told Katie how his mother Carmin never wanted him to do karate again after what had happened at the Halloween dance.

Katie couldn't imagine the look on her mother's face, when she heard from Carmen. At first, her mother was upset at the fact that kids from school had beaten up another student, with no teacher anywhere to prevent the fight from happening.

Charlotte questioned if homeschooling was the best option for Katie, in fear of her daughter getting bullied as well. Which resulted in an argument between the pair, Katie was finally starting to make friends and live her life the way she wanted to. She didn't want to be homeschooled just because of an incident that should've never happened in the first place. 

So now it made Katie confront the situation of wanting to obey her mother's wishes, but also do what is right for herself.

" So that's it?" Demetri questions Miguel "No more karate?"

The four of them are in the library, sitting at a table, studying. Katie takes a glance at Miguel who's working on his assignment. Her eyes travel to the bruises that are very prominent on his face. 

" I guess so.." Miguel only shrugs at Demetri's question, still feeling mad about the situation.

" It was probably for the best... It was starting to boost your confidence" He states with a tap of his pen. Katie and Miguel gave him a confused look.

" Isn't that a good thing?"  The Daiz boy questions, with Katie nodding along.

" No" Demtri shakes his head, making Katie scoff, "Seriously Demetri?" She gives him a disbelieving look, dropping her pencil to the side.

" What?" He says to the girl, not getting what she is so upset about.

" Miguel only took Karate so he can defend himself, why is that not a good thing to have?" She asks him while taking a glance at Miguel.

Demetri shakes his head, with dismissive hands, pushing his homework to the side. " What has confidence ever gotten anybody, except for a black eye and their backpack thrown in the trash" He states his head lowering down, with a puzzled look.

" Well I thought it was kind of cool how you stood up to Kyler '' Eli spoke up, stopping from writing in his notebook. Katie looks at Eli and smiles at him, before going back to reading her textbook.

"Are you insane?!" Demtrie slightly yells, making Katie roll her eyes and slam her book shut. So much for trying to read.

"Let me ask you this, what is the best superpower anyone could have?" He asks the three with a serious gaze.

" Super strength" Migue quickly says, positive with his answer. Demetri shakes his head and turns to Katie with raised eyebrows. " Oh..um time travel?" She says unsure of her response.
