Different But Same

"Come on, eat something. It'll make you feel better." 

"Where have I heard that before?" Lucky laughed as Demetri, Miguel and Aisha looked at her. "What? I'm just trying to lighten the mood." She sighed.

"I told you I'm not hungry, man." Miguel looked down at his sandwich. "I still think you're overreacting." Demetri looked away, not getting the big deal.

"I'm not overeating, dude. I know what I saw."

"All right, so you saw her eating dinner with some chode." Hawk kicked Bert in the face and walked over to them. "It's probably her brother or something."

"No, dude."

Lucky played with the ends of her hair. "Her brother's like 8."

"And brothers don't look at their sisters like that."

"Depends what part of the country you're in." Lucky looked at Demetri in disgust as he said this. "Gross."

"Look, I just don't want what happened to Sensei to happen to me."

"Miguel, I might know who it is."

"What? Why didn't you say sooner?" Miguel raised his voice as everyone's head turned to look at Lucky.

"You're gonna have to watch your tone if you wanna know." Lucky raised her eyebrows and pointed.

"Just tell me!"

"Did he have a bob? Brown hair?" Miguel nodded eagerly like a lost puppy.

"His name is Robby. We all met at Sam's house the day we went to the movies." Lucky bowed her head as she lowered her voice and played with her fingers.

"And you waited this long to say anything?"

"I didn't know. She told me there was nothing going on."

"This is just great."

"All right, so you go over to this kid and beat his ass so he doesn't have the chance."

Demetri shook his head. "Don't listen to Eli."

"It's 'Hawk'."

"Yeah, whatever. The fact is, Sam's given you no reason not to trust her." Lucky cocked her head at this. Her brother surprisingly had a good point.

"Yeah, I guess you're right."

"Yeah."

"Oh! That little bitch!" Aisha shouted, looking at her phone.

"What?"

She turned her phone to us. "You know that video I posted of me breaking that board? Look what Yasmine commented."

  'Impressive... can't believe the belt made it around ur waist.'

"Oh shit."

Demetri leaned forward and looked at Lucky. "What are you looking at me for?" 

"Well she's your friend." Lucky couldn't believe him. "So you think I told her to do that? And she's not even my friend anymore. You're unbelievable."
