All in

"You're a little rusty, Sensei." Johnny said to Kreese, the class watching them. As they fought onwards Kresse had Johnny in an arm lock as Johnny had Kresse's elbow.

"Ok, pay attention. He's got my neck, I've got his elbow. If I try to break out..."

Kreese cut in. "I dig in and I put him to sleep." He put his other hand on his arm to secure the arm lock. "If I go for his ribs..."

"He completely exposes his chest." Kreese put his knee up to Johnny's chest, then lowering it. "Two difficult choices. What do you do?" Johnny looked around at the class, noticing Lucky zoned out.

Johnny kicked Kreese's heal and flew them both toward the ground. Causing them both to grunt. "You damn the consequences and you power forward."

They both stood back up. "You may get hurt, but nobody wins by doing nothing."

"You make a choice. You make a move. You go all in. Lucky, can I have a word?" Lucky's eyes shot toward Johnny as he jerked his head toward his office.

Silently following her Sensei, she stood awkwardly as he sat in his chair. "Is there a problem, Sensei?"

"What's up with you?" Johnny's few words had Lucky stunned; she was not expecting him to say that. She shook her head slowly. "Nothing, everything's fine."

Johnny slightly spun in his chair, looking as if in thought. "Ever since a few days ago you've been off, did something happen?"

Lucky rubbed her forehead, slightly self-conscious. "It's just, Sam and Robby won't talk to me," She took a deep breath as Johnny looked down.

"They won't tell me why."

Johnny recovered, furrowing his brows. "So uh, what? Robby was your boyfriend?"

Lucky's eyes went wide and her face turned red. "What, no! No." Johnny smirked as he turned in his chair again. "He's just, he's my friend. Was my friend."

Johnny looked her in her eyes, offering a small smile. "Yeah, I'm sorry kid. I'm here if you need to talk though. I'm not gonna fail you."

Lucky silently thanked him and bowed, as he nodded toward the door. Confused as she left the room.

Lucky spotted Robby and Sam as she saw Demetri run off somewhere. Breathing in deeply she walked up to them and sat down in her brother's previous seat.

She sat quiet as Sam and Robby's judgemental eyes looked at her. "What do you want?"

She sucked her lips in before answering. "I wanted to apologise. I don't know what for, cause you won't tell me, but I'm sorry." Sam rolled her eyes as they got up and left. Leaving Lucky by herself.

Seeing Demetri run over to the table she quickly stood up making sure he's okay. "Demetri, what happened?"

"Of course they left. Your gang friends are assalting me."

Lucky creased her forehead, moving a strand of hair from her face. "I don't have any gang friends." As she said this Demetri scaredly backed away. She turned around to see her fellow Cobra Kais turning in on Demetri.
