I walk into the kitchen downing some panadol as my head hurts like a hangover but i had nothing to drink. "Hey Danny" i hug him "You okay?" i ask he nods "Sore but apart from that im okay, what about you?" i give him a little smile "I am just wondering what this means for Johnny and i?" he nods grabbing some juice "Like i mean you couldn't even stand" he nods "You are strong i'm sure you'll figure it out also he came by this morning but mom told him it's not the best time" my heart aches "Oh" i lay my head on the bench. 

"Hey Mr.myiagi" Daniel smiled "Ah Daniel- san, Carmen- san how are you guys?" "Sore" Daniel said "Tired" I added, "Come we go to dojo" he waved his hand "Oh Mr. Miyagi i don't know" he grabbed my hand "You have got this instead of hiding show power" i smiled "Okay then" 

"You know how to drive?" mr.myiagi asked "Not really" he handed Danny the keys "I-im not very good at it" he said "me neither" he responded we all got in the car "I dont have a licences" he laughed "neither" he said "I guess its okay then" Daniel said, "No no pass me the keys i know how to drive" 

I took a deep breath as we walked into the dojo there were shouts and demands "combat" sensei said "hai" they all got in a square Johnny holding one red and white flag in the corner and dutch holding red and white flags across from him they all got down on their knees.

"Brown, Robison" sensei yelled Bobby hopped up onto his feet and so did the other guy, they boughed to sensei then to each other "On guard " sensei yelled they both got into a fighting stance "hai" bobby sent a kick Robison's way kicking him down "What are you looking at finish him" sensei harshly ordered.

"Prepare hai" they all jumped to their feet and sensei started shouting at them "We do not train to be merciful here very is for the weak" I look over at Johnny who is staring at me he had a black eye. Gosh even with a black eye he is so good looking, no Carmen he hurt your best friend and right now you are mad at him. "Here on the street in competition a man confronts you he is the enemy and enemy deserves no mercy what is the problem Mr.Lawrence" That's where he gets its from . 

Johnny turns back to sensei and whispers something "Class we have visitors fall in behind me Hai" they line up in rows and lines behind sensei but Johnny stands next to him which is right in front of me "I hear you jumped some of my students last night" sensei said to Mr.myiagi "Afraid the facts mixed up" he replied "Are you calling Mr.Lawrence a liar" sensei crosses his arms"No call no one nothing" "What are you here for old man?"  "Come ask leave boy alone" sensei scoffs "Boy can't handle his own problems?"

"One to one yes one to five no" "Ss that what's bothering you?" sensei snickers "Well we can fix that can't we Mr.Lawrence" "yes sensei" Johnny shouts "Nah no more fighting" "This is a karate dojo not a knitting class old man you don't just drop a challenge and leave old man" I look over at Johnny who mouthed 'I'm sorry' but i just crossed my arms then looking away to spot Bobby in the crowd, i spot him giving him a smile and he returns the smile. My eyes turn back to Johnny who's Jaw is clenched and his eyes are burning on me. The only reason i am nice to Bobby is because he tried to stop Johnny. 

"Too much advantage your dojo" Mr.myiagi said "Name a place" sensei replied "Tournament" he gestures to the poster behind him "You got real nerve old man but I think we can accommodate you can't we Mr.Lawrence " "yes sensei" he said calmer "Fall in" Johnny boughs to sensei and walks off to join the rest 

Sensei goes to walk off by Mr. Myiagi said something "Ask one more small request" "Make it fast" "Ask leave boy alone to train" sensei turns around "Your a pushy little bastard ain't you but I like that I like that" the walks in-between his students "No one touches the boy until the tournament is that understood?"

"Yes sensei" they shout, I give bobby a small wave and walk out "I can't believe what you just got me into" Daniel says "You have got this" i said

I pulled up to Mr.myiagi's place he told us to stay there "Do you really think i can beat them?" Daniel asked "It's not about winning" i say, "That's right" Mr.Myiagi says coming back with a tin and clothes "Must clean cars" he showed us the line of cars "Wax on wax off" he motioned how to do it "Hey where did these cars come from?" Daniel yells as Mr.myiagi is walking away doing the wax on wax off motion "Detroit" i laugh "Have fun Danny, i'll see you at home" "Bye". Not gonna lie his methods were strange but this guy was something else.

I find myself walking alone, the familiar sound of motorbikes come roaring down the street stopping right next to me "Carmen" a familiar voice yells over the bikes, but i just keep walking "Let me take you home at least" i could hear the pain in his voice but he did this to himself "Fine" he says speeding off with the group "Are you sure you don't want a lift?" Bobby stays behind "I'm okay thanks though" he nods before speeding off, tears immediately flow down my face deep breathes , this would be the perfect time for my Walkman.
