The Karate Kid (X Male OC)

The Move

~Tommy POV~

We finally made to Reseda, but it just wasn't the same being in Newark. I feel for Danny about moving out here. I mean, I wasn't really liking this transition, but for mom's job, we have to put up with it.

The school we're going to is West Valley High and I'm not really looking forward to it, mostly because I'm already missing my friends back in Newark and I've gotten used to being around them. Now that we're in Reseda, might as well try to get to know some people here.

When we finally got to the motel, it looked like a dump. A cardboard box would be a better home than a motel in my personal opinion, but we had to wake up Danny who was napping in the back.

Mom: Daniel. Daniel, wake up. Look off the starboard bow. Paradise at last.

Tommy: We're here, little brother.

Daniel: You're telling me.

As mom got out of the car, I had to make sure that he was alright. I don't like moving here, personally, but we have to make sure we at least try to be happy.

Tommy: I get it, Danny. You don't like it here, but promise me you'll try to make it work. I really don't want to see you upset.

Daniel: Yeah, I guess.

Tommy: Danny, yes or no. Not "I guess".

Daniel: Yes.

Tommy: Good. When it's all done, I'll ask mom if we can order some pizza. How's that?

Daniel: I'm okay with that.

Tommy: Alright. Come on, let's get the car unloaded.

We got and started unpacking the stuff and mom kept admiring the environment of Reseda, which isn't really a surprise to me, considering that she shoved her new job down our throats back in Newark.

Mom: Look at those palm trees! Damn! Do you know what that means?

Daniel: Yeah, watch out for falling coconuts.

Mom: Wise guy. No more Newark winters!

Daniel: I like winters.

Mom: Oh, you like sore throats? You like frozen toes?

Daniel: I don't like smog.

Mom: Did I tell you two about the pool here?

Tommy: Yeah, about a 100 times already.

Mom: Okay, so make it 101. Open your eyes, my darling sons. This is the Garden of Eden.

Tommy: Great, and I guess we're both Adams and she's Eve.

Then Danny had a to laugh a bit I was laughing myself. I mean, a bit of comedic relief is needed right now, especially when mom told us this.

Mom: Come on. We're in apartment 20, okay? One flight up.

As we unloaded, Danny grabbed his bike and we started walking towards the apartment. Then, my little brother had to kick the gate open into someone's face!

Daniel: Are you okay?

Guy: Don't worry about it.

Tommy: Have a hand up, man.

Daniel: That was stupid of me.

Guy: You both are the new people in apartment 20, am I right?
