Team (ON HOLD)

**Introductions**(chapter two)

"Hey mom" I yelled as I entered the house with Lizzy.

"Hey Summer, is that you?" my mom asked.

"No its a robber who has a key to the house and calls you mom." I replied in a serious tone.

Lizzy ran into to the kitchen, where our mom was, and I followed behind her. "MOMMY! Liz screamed hugging our mom. "How was your day at school guys?" my mom asked after she gave me a hug. Liz went into a long explanation on how she made a new friend named Jake. Apparently he took her crayons and then they ended up becoming "best friends" and blah blah blah. There was alot more, but I really dont feel like explaining it.

"Summer, how was your day?" my mom asked after Liz finnished her story.

"Fine, it was a normal, boring first day." I replied

"Such an exciting life" she said sarcastically.

I just snorted(unlady like may I add) and walked to the fridge.

I grabbed some strawberries and went to the living room to watch some tv before I have to Karate practice. I changed the tv to truTV and watched 'Killer Karaoke', some lady was getting dunked in a tank. About five minutes in Liz and my mom came in and watched it with me. At about six o'clock i went and changed into my karate gee and my brown advanced belt. (if you guys didnt know the belts go: white, yellow, orange, green, blue, purple, red, brown, brown advanced, and black). I grabbed my bag with my sparring pads, said bye to my mom and Elizabeth, and ran out the door so I wouldn't be late.

I walked in and greeted my friend Jayla, who is also a brown advanced (we started together).

"Hey Jayla!"

"Hey" she said, not in her usual perky tone.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm moving schools."

"That really sucks, especially for your last year."

"Really, haven't noticed."

" What school?" I asked ignoring her sarcasm.

"Johnson." she stated.

"I go there!" I exclaimed. A few people looked at me, but I honestly didn't care at all.

"Really?" She totally listens to me when I talk about school.

I just nodded my head excitedly. "Yay, now I'm not sad anymore."

"You can hang out with my friends and I." I offered.

We chatted a little more, and soon it was time for practice and I turned around to go to the room where practice is held and I bumped into something hard. "Watch where you're going !!!" ......or someone.

"You bumped into me." I said looking up. It was a guy I've never seen before at this dojo. He is about 5'10 and has brown eyes. I asked "Who are you?"

"Ashton, I'm new to this dojo. I just moved here last week fro-" he started, but I cut him off.

"I didn't ask for your life story." I said and walked around him into class, he followed behind Jayla and I. I just assumed he was in my class. I turned around to bow at the doorway like we are supposed to. Jayla did the same, and so did he. It was my day to lead the exercises, so I went in front and obviously lead the exercises.

At first Ashton looked at me like I had grown four heads. "What?" I asked irritation obvious in my voice.

"Why are you leading the exercises?" he asked
