TWO. ( it's just like seeing her, for the the first time. )
"You sure you wanna stay the night?"
"Totally."
Even after knowing each other for a short time, Emmy and Miguel have grown close, like they had known each other for months if not years.
They both resided in his room, Emmy sprawled out on his bed, dangling upside down on the edge while he was standing up.
She would have stayed over at Demetri's or Eli's but she was sure that their parents were sick of her by this point and felt the need to chande.
"So," she began, mindlessly scrolling through Instagram. "You're learning karate?"
"Yeah," he enthusiastically replied. "It's great. My sensei's the real deal."
Emmy rolled over to her stomach and raised her eyebrows. "He hot?"
His face scrunched. "Em!"
"What? I just wanna know if I should give it a try myself," she shrugged, shutting off her phone and tossing it aside.
Miguel lit up. "Really? You'd want to join Cobra Kai with me?"
"Seriously? This karate thing is all you ever talk about. I wanna get in on it. We're newly friends and I wanna bond," she pursed her lips, and couldn't help but smile at his happy face. "So, is Sensei hot?"
"I'll let you see for yourself. Tomorrow after school?"
Her smile grew bigger. "You're on, newby."

"Cyberbullying is no laughing matter. Sending a cruel message to someone online can be just as hurtful as saying it to their faces. I'm not gonna 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 deformity," Emmy almost burst out laughing from Counselor Blatt's shitty attempt at keeping Eli hidden.
