❝𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐓𝐍𝐀𝐌 𝐅𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐒?❞ A smirk is on Laken's face as she stares at Johnny from her position leaned on the opening of his office.
Johnny sends her a playful glare, "Get the hell out there."
Laken laughs, turning around to walk back towards the mats with Johnny following her.
"Why'd I let you talk me into this?" Demetri asked Eli as Laken moves to stand next to them. "This goes against everything I stand for. It's like extra gym class for no reason."
"Let's just give it a chance." Eli tells his best friend, smiling as Laken wraps her arm around his shoulders.
"Yeah, just give it a chance, Metri." Laken smiles warmly, ruffling her cousin's hair as she does so.
"Thank you. You saw the fight." Eli says, "Miguel kicked ass.
"Okay! Today we begin . . . ," Johnny trails off as the dojo full of teens ignore him, "QUIET!"
Laken lets a giggle slip past her lips, slapping a hand over her mouth as Johnny shoots a look over in her direction, "Sorry, it kills me every time you tell that."
"Face front!" Johnny ignores the blonde, though he's fighting a smile off. Everyone turns to face him, and Johnny keeps his eyes on them as he walks around, "Nice shirt."
