"We could actually be in the Sekai Taikai.." I said while I'm at Miyagi-Do, talking to Miguel and Robby.

"There's a good chance." Robby nodded.

"It just sucks because Hawk should be apart of this." Miguel said.

"You heard anything from him?" Robby asked.

"All I know is that Demetri has been going over to his house to visit him." I shrugged, "But that's all I've heard."

"It's been like over a week since he's been taking this break from karate.." Miguel started to say. "He must be bored out of his mind at his house."

"He's not." I said.

Miguel and Robby looked at me weird.

"What are you talking about?" Miguel asked.

"Demetri tells me things."

"Like what?" Robby questioned.

"I know that Hawk misses karate but he's been keeping himself occupied with movies, at-home training, and whenever Demetri is over at his house."

Maybe Eli won't come back to the dojo. He seems pretty content without it. But then again, we have to remember that I hurt him. And he's probably not ready to face me just yet.

Which I don't blame him.

"Someone has to go and talk to him." Miguel said.

"Demetri is already doing that." Robby said.

"No.." Miguel then said, "I mean, talk to him and try to convince him to come back to the dojo. To continue training."

"It's not our choice." I said, "We can't force him to come back if he's not ready."

"She's right." Robby agreed with me.

Miguel looked like he was in disbelief. And he was about to say something else before he got interrupted.

"Guys, let's start training." My dad yelled out.

Miguel and Robby went over to Johnny before I walked over to my dad.

"Are you ready?" My dad asked me.

I nodded. "Yeah, I'm ready."

So to start training, my dad and I did simple kata techniques. He worked with me about whatever I would possibly need to demonstrate.

This is important. We could qualify for a global karate tournament and this is a chance for us to earn a spot.

This went on for the next few hours. I'll train with my dad before I'll work with Johnny for a little bit. It was a tiring day but this is for the presentation that we're supposed to do for the people that are in charge of the Sekai Taikai.

We're working really hard and I think we have a good chance at entering the global tournament.

The morning light filtered into the dojo, filling it with a warm, golden glow. I felt a buzz in the air, a current of anticipation. The dojo was different today because we had the presentation.

Everyone is doing a really good job, whether they are demonstrating defense, or demonstrating offense, which I'm doing.

Robby and Miguel had a sequence in which I'm sure Eli would've been a part of it but he's not here. I still feel pretty bummed.

The wheel technique with Robby felt like a dance, our movements in perfect sync. It was like last summer where it was just the two of us in the dojo. And let me be honest, I really enjoy doing the wheel technique with Robby again. We always worked so well together.
