Emmy watched in pure disbelief as Johnny shoved a single chopstick into one of the sushi rolls. "Are you kidding?"
"That's one way to do it," Miguel commented.
Johnny then took a sniff of the food, reeling back with a grimace. "What the hell is this shit?"
Miguel chuckled. "It's a dragon roll. So basically, you have some fresh avocado, some chopped up cucumber, some snow crab, and unagi on top."
"Un-what? "Unagi"?"
"Freshwater eel," Emmy informed him, grabbing one from the plate and dropping it into her mouth.
"Eel? People actually eat the crap?"
"It's good!" Emmy elbowed his side.
"Just have an open mind," Miguel told him.
"All right, just take a picture, okay?" Emmy rolled her eyes for what felt like the millionth time that day, grabbing her cup of lemon water and taking a long sip through the straw.
"This is ridiculous. What if she wants to do these types of things with you, only to find out that you don't have a single hobby?" she asked him.
"Shut your mouth, Pinky," he said.
"Told you to stop calling me that," she grumbled as Miguel began to take the pictures. She immediately reeled back in disgust as he took a bite, causing the entire roll to fall apart. And once Miguel got all the pictures he needed, he immediately spat the roll out. "Seriously? Do you know how expensive sushi is these days?"
Johnny grabbed a napkin, aggressively wiping his mouth. "All right, I'm gonna go wash my mouth out. You want that?"
"Uh, no, not anymore," Miguel answered.
"Ditto," Emmy pushed the plate further away from her and Johnny left the table. "How good are the pictures?"
"Not gonna lie," Miguel chuckled. "He looks really stupid."
"Told you so," she laughed, taking another sip of her water. "I've been telling you guys this whole time. He should just be himself. It's better to find someone who is interested in your actual interests than finding a Pinterest mom who wants a new daddy for her kids."
"You really think he'll listen to that though?" Miguel questioned, still scrolling through all the photos.
"Oh, absolutely not. But it's nice to dream," she sighed.
"How's Cobra Kai?" Miguel then asked.
Emmy was a bit taken aback, since he never really ever wanted to talk about it. "Uh, it's good. Although, we did get some new students the other day."
He furrowed his eyebrows. "Isn't that a good thing?"
"It is. Except when it's the dude who should burn in the fiery pits of hell," she scoffed, folding her arms over her chest.
