"Hey (Name)." Miguel greeted as I took my spot at our lunch table. I waved and smiled, excited to share the news.

"So, did you decide if you wanted to join yet?" He asked me. I shook my head, my excited smile still on my face.
"I'm not, but I am still going to do karate." I told him, opening my sandwich and taking a bite.

"What?" He asked confused. I nodded, grinning.
"I'm training with my boss, formerly Mr.LaRusso, now Sensei LaRusso!" I said, enthusiastically. Miguel's eyes widened,
"Mr.LaRusso and my Sensei hate each other!" He blurted out. I nodded.

"Yeah, that doesn't mean we can't be friends. He's also not making me pay him. I need the money from the job." I said, shrugging. Miguel sighed and nodded.

"Don't worry, Eli told my about your situation. I'm so sorry for your loss-"
"It's fine." I cut him off, my smile dropping.

"But hey, I get to see my brother today after school for a little while before work! He has a soccer game." I said proudly, making Demetri laugh mockingly.
"Her little brother has more energy then her. It's scary." He commented, making me laugh.

"Are you going to the dance later?" He asked me, probably to ask for a ride. I shook my head.
"No, I have work right before and I'll be too tired. But by all means, go without me,"

"But hey, don't sweat the karate thing. It's nothing personal." I added on at the end, gathering my garbage as the bell rang.

I took a seat at my brothers game outside, next to my grandma.

"Hey Grams." I said, watching all the kids stretch.
"Oh! Hello (Name)." She said, smiling at me. She looked me over, probably seeing how I was.

"Beautiful as always! How's school?" She asked, the kids getting ready to begin. I spotted my little blonde haired bother as goalie for his team.

"Pretty good. I got a job at LaRussos dealership and I'm starting karate lessons." I told her, the game beginning.
"How wonderful." She commented, I felt the tense atmosphere resurface.

"And what about that father of yours? Feeding you?" She asked me, she always hated my father. She was my mother's mom, and that's why she saw him the the worst light.

"My job pays for my phone bills and food. He gets the money for rent and I don't ask how. The roof over our heads is good enough." I scoffed, she gave me sad eyes.

"Poor girl. Things will come around. You can always crash with me and Nicco if things get rough." She informed, I nodded.
"Of corse."

The game ended quickly, my brothers team winning. I ran over to him and swooped him in a hug. He was a very small kid for his age.

"Great job bud!" I exclaimed swinging him around. He laughed happily and hugged me back.
"(Name)!"

"How've you been?" I said putting him down. His eyes sparkled as he smiled at me.
"Amazing! I lost my tooth!" He said, showing my his lost tooth. I smiled and nodded, taking out my phone and checking the time. I was almost late.

"Look bud, I'll take you out for ice cream soon, but I have to run to work now. You keep getting those home runs!" I teased, I watched him smile from behind me as I ran to my car.

"There called goals." I heard him whine back.

"So that's it, no more karate?" Demetri asked the next day at lunch. Miguel had come back with a beat up face after being jumped by Kyler and his group at the dance last night. I suddenly didn't feel so left out about not going.

"I guess so." He answered, annoyed.
"It's probably for the best- it was starting to boost your confidence." Demetri said. Me and Eli were snickering and drawing pictures on his study sheet, but also listening to the conversation. I began to draw Miguel doing karate.

"Isn't that a good thing?" Miguel asked Demetri.
"No. What at has confidence ever gotten anybody other then a black eye and their backpack thrown in the trash?" Demetri asked him, picking at his lunch.

"Well I thought it was kinda cool how you stood up to Kyler." Eli added, I nodded.
"Totally badass, don't let this cause you to give up." I finished up for him, giving an encouraging smile to Miguel.

"Are you two insane?! Let me ask you, what's the best superpower anyone could have?" He asked me and Eli, I instantly got excited.
"Super smarts, so I could pass this stupid ap chem exam." I said, looking all over Eli and I's doodled on notes. I snickered at the picture of Demetri drinking chemicals Eli drew.
"Super strength." Miguel said,

"Wrong and wrong!" Demetri cut off. I was used to his semi annoying behavior.
"Invisibility- a distant second would be super speed, to run away fast." Demetri told us. I shrugged in agreement.

"Run away from who?" Kyler said mockingly, appearing over Eli and I's shoulder. I scoffed and shoved him away, standing.

"Let us be, Kyler." I said crossing my arms.
"Whom. It's the object of a preposition. Remember English class-" his friend said.
"We were just leaving." Demetri said, I crossed my arms and shook my head.

"No we weren't! Leave-" Eli took the handle of by backpack and began dragging me away. But he was stopped my Kyler grabbing him.
"Hey, were are you going? Look at this freak."
"Let him go asshole." I hissed, tying to shove him away. He pushed me back into the book shelf, making me hit my head kind of hard.

"What kind of girl would ever kiss this shit? Oh wait! That's right, your little girlfriend over here." He said mockingly, making me get up and glare.
"That's it!" I yell, taking my hand and go to punch Kyler, Demetri stepped in and pulled me back a bit. I squirmed but couldn't get him to let go.

"Leave them alone Kyler." Miguel said. I stopped struggling in surprise.
"What'd you say?" Kyler asked, letting go of Eli and getting into Miguel's face. I ran up to Eli and checked to see if he really hurt him. He brushed me off. It kinda hurt a bit, usually he wasn't so cold to me.

"You hadn't have enough 'rhea?" He asked, I stood by Eli. They began pushing him around.
"Get the hell out of here man." Kyler said, pushing him harshly away by his head. Me and Eli passed, getting shoved by his friend.

I drove to work, seeing the graffitied billboard. Someone had vandalized one of Mr. LaRussos billboards. It was gonna be a long day at work.

I still had a bruised lump on my head from the fall today in the library. Maybe he would let me out I running around. I felt tears well in my eyes as the events of the day resurfaced. I felt weak, but couldn't stop it. I pulled over, taking out my outdated phone. It was a twenty dollar track phone, and all I could really afford.

"H-hey, Mr.LaRusso?" I asked, hearing an angered sigh at the other end.
"Listen, if it's about the record you were supposed to print forget- are you ok!?" He asked hearing my sniffling over the phone.
"I- yeah- is it alright if I call out of work today?" I asked him, wiping my eyes.
"Yeh of corse. You never call out. Feel better." He said, I hiccuped.

"Yeah. Thanks Mr.LaRusso."
