"Why did I let you talk me into this?" Demetri had been complaining since the moment they had gotten there. "This goes against everything I stand for. It's like extra gym class for no reason."
"Let's just give it a chance," Eli encouraged. "You saw the fight. Miguel kicked ass. And this way we can hang out with Em, too. I mean, you know how long she's been wanting to learn karate."
"I do, but that doesn't mean I have to join too. Emmy can kick ass on her own just fine," Demetri scoffed.
"Oh, don't be such a baby, Demetri," Emmy stepped next to him, draping her arm on his shoulders. "This might be the best decision on your life. And you need to leave your house more often. Your parents will be happy that their son is actually doing anything other than video games for once."
He just grumbled back, looking back down at his phone.
"I'm happy to be here, Em," Eli spoke up.
She smiled warmly at him, and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Thanks, Eli."
"Does your dad even know about this, Em?" Demetri squinted his eyes at her.
She squinted back at him, before shoving his face away with her hand. "No. And he will never find out. I'm not risking getting kicked out because daddy can't handle me learning karate elsewhere."
"Quiet!"
Eli and Demetri jumped while Emmy remained neutral. She had heard him say that more times than she could count.
"Face front."
They all shifted their bodies to face the direction of his office. It almost made Emmy laugh at how serious and tense everyone in the room got. As Johnny walked down the line between the students, she gave him a smile, which he gave a sarcastic one back.
