"esqueleto"
Cat woke up an hour early so she could go to the dojo and do some extra training before school, she unlike Miguel was trusted to have the keys to the dojo, and as much as she would love to train with her brother, they both preferred the alone time and Miguel said he was fine training in their room as long as it meant he could sleep in.
That being said by the time lunch rolled around the girl was absolutely exhausted. The girl sat in her usual spot, in between Eli and Miguel as they ate a somewhat more edible lunch than usual. Miguel and Demetri were arguing about some new game that just came out while her and Eli sat quietly listening to them, this gave the girl a perfect chance to try and flirt with him. Keyword:try.
"I like your sweater today... stripes are cool" the girl blurted out looking at the boy next to her. He looked at her startled by her suddenly talking, before his eyes widened and he blushed a deep red. "Thanks Cat," the boy said softly as he turned his head to look down at his tray of food. The girl was going to lose her mind, but she mumbled a "no problem" and sipped her apple juice.
That's when the school counselor gathered, well tried to, everyone's attention. The girl paid her no mind but started listening when she started to talk.
"Cyberbullying is no laughing matter," the couselor said, Cat scoffed at the words. Yeah no shit. She looked over at Eli who started looking a little nervous.
"You okay?" she asked the boy, who just nodded, she could've sworn she saw his eyes go glossy. She turned her attention back to the counselor.
"I'm not going to name names, but the other day a mother called me up because her son was crying after some kids online made fun of his facial deformity."
Her words immediately made Cat look over at Eli and saw that he was already covering his lip with his hand.
"¡Maldita sea! don't pay attention to them Eli, they're all idiots, I think the scar makes you look badass, gives you a hot mysterious vibe," said the girl, grabbing Eli's hand pulling it away from his mouth and holding it so their hands rested in her lap. Eli just looked at the girl in awe.
Miguel leaned closer to her and whispered in her ear, "did you just call him hot?" The girl turned her head and glared at him, giving him a look that said "shut up" he just put his hands up in defense and gave Eli a sympathetic look. The girl then looked back at Eli and smiled noticing that he was still staring at her.
"But today, our goal here is to make this school a safe space for all students." Cat rolled her eyes and felt Eli give her hand a tight squeeze.
"If you're sick of getting bullied, our karate dojo's looking for recruits," Eli seemed to relax at Miguel's words nodding. "You totally should join Eli it's getting boring with just Miguel." Eli giggled at the girl.
