Leah woke up to the smell of bacon and pancakes. She got out of bed and walked down to the kitchen. She found her dad in the kitchen making breakfast.
"You took the day off?" Leah asked her father.
"Morning to you too kiddo and yes I did." He dad said sarcastically. Leah went over to hug her dad and giggled.
Her mom woke up as they were just sitting down to eat. Apparently, she didn't know her husband took the day off either because she was just as shocked as Leah was. They sat down and planned out their day. Mr. and Mrs. Collins were going to go to the store to get stuff to make their famous buffalo dip. Leah was going to stay home and get everything ready for tonight.
After breakfast was cleaned up and everyone let their food settle, they get started for the day. Mr. and Mrs. Collins went to the store while Leah was left home to do her work for the day. Leah didn't have much to do though. She looked out the window to make sure her parents were gone and made her way to the garage. She turned on the light and started practicing the karate. She had a bag she could hit and beat up. The girl had picked up so much from being in that studio that she could master every form, move and every word that's they spoke. She did some practicing for a while then when back into the house.
She took a shower to loosen up her bed head, blow dried and flattened her hair. By the time she was finished with all this, her parents were home.
"Make sure you pack some extra clothes for afterward. We have to clean up the after mass again." Her mom and Leah did as she was told.
After about a few hours they were all ready to go and were on their way to the studio. They must have shown up a little late because the whole dojo was packed with women and girls in party gowns and men and boys in full suit and tie. They walked in were immediately greeted by Mr. and Mrs. Yen.
"I'm so glad you could come! Our guest of honor should be here any minute now!" Mr. Yen said. Mrs. Collins and Mrs. Yen went off to talk while their husbands did the same. Leah was left but soon found someone to hangout with. Jack Yen, Mr. and Mrs. Yen's son. He looked just like his father. Tall with brown hair and had his mom's glimmering emerald eyes. He was a very polite person and not to mention very handsome like his dad.
"Hey Leah, it's good to see you around!" Jack said pulling Leah in for a hug. Leah and Jack have a very stronger brother-sister relationship. They told each other everything and were inseparable.
"Alright everyone settle down. Our guest of honor should be walking through these doors any minute but before he does I would like to say thank you to all of you for coming out tonight to celebrate the founded of the very studio." As he finished the door swung open and in came Mr. Zhang. He was a little bit shorter than Mr. Yen with a stoned face. He had grey hair with some black here and there and light brown eyes.
"Welcome Mr. Zhang! It's so great to see you again!" A smile slithered onto Mr. Zhang's face as he held out his hand for Mr. Yen to shake.
"Same to you John. It's been too long. The last time I was here was when Jack was taking his first step." They laughed as everyone went over to greet Mr. Zhang. When everyone was done Mr. Yen had the Collins family meet Mr. Zhang. Leah's parents met with him and then his eyes landed on her. He walks over to her to meet her.
"Hello you must be Leah. Mr. Yen talks a lot about you and your family. Are you a student here?" Mr. Zhang asked
"No sir, I work as a janitor with my mom." Leah answered. Mr. Zhang smiled at her and then he walked off to talk with the others
Soon the party was over and the Collins were left to clean the place back up. Leah put her work clothes on and pulled her hair into a bun and got to work.
She vacuumed and mopped the mat while her parents did the bathrooms and carpets. Leah had finished with the mat and was finished. She had some spare time she decided to work on her forms and moves on the mat. After about 5 minutes or so her parents were finished and ready to go. She was certain that everyone had left before she started doing her stuff but little did she know that what she did didn't go unnoticed.
