"Bow." Everyone did as told and Johnny ordered them into their fighting positions. "Holy shit, we got a room full of flinchers." "Yes sensei!" Cherry face palmed and Johnny said, "That was not a question. Raise your hand if you've never been punched in the face." Everyone but Cherry, Miguel, and Aisha rose their hands. "Put your hands down. All your lives, you've been avoiding fights so you don't break your nose or lose a tooth, this concussion nonsense. So there's only one solution and that is before you leave this dojo, each and every one of you is going to take a punch very hard to the face."
Miguel and Cherry shared a look. "Ms. Robinson, line them up. Unflinch this group." "Yes sensei." Aisha punched a few people when Miguel decided to talk to Johnny. Cherry wanted to go too, but decided that helping the students would be best.

The next day at school, Cherry was going to approach Miguel when Sam approached him first. Cherry paused and watched them. "Who are we watching?" Cherry jumped and glared at Aisha. "Sam just walked up to Miguel." Aisha nodded and they watched as Sam flirted with Miguel. "What a backstabbing bitch," Aisha muttered.
Cherry had enough and was going to walk over there when Sam leaned up and kissed Miguel. "Cherry?" Cherry ignored Aisha and she walked towards her locker with Aisha following. "Cherry, where are you going?" "Anywhere that's far away from here," Cherry hissed. "Cherry?" "Not now, Hawk."
Eli, Demetri, and Aisha watched as Cherry walked away, people getting out of her way. "Hey guys!" Miguel rushed over to them. "Guess who's going on a date with Sam tonight? Hey . . . Where's Cherry?" Miguel was looking around for the girl, but couldn't find her.
"She left."
"What? Why?"
Aisha looked down, and before Eli could say anything, Demetri spoke.
"We walked over and she was angry and just walked away."
"What?"
Eli glared at Demetri, then turned to Miguel.
"Look, don't worry about her, man. She's just gonna blow off some steam." "But I am and will always worry and care about her," Miguel said. "I'm her best friend." Aisha scoffed and said, "Some best friend." Aisha walked away and Miguel turned to the remaining two, who only shrugged their shoulders. Miguel sighed and took out his phone.

Where r u?
Cherry felt her phone buzz, so when she came to a stoplight, she took it out, only to see a text from Miguel. She scoffed and put her phone away. Upon arriving to her destination, she got off of her motorcycle.
Cherry knocked on the door and waited. "Cherry?" Johnny asked as soon as he opened his door. "What are you doing here?" "Can I get the keys to the dojo? Please." Johnny couldn't look at her eyes, for her glasses were blocking them. "Are you okay?" "Yeah, just, please sensei." Johnny sighed before giving her the keys. He watched as she rushed to her motorcycle and drove away. Groaning, he locked his door and ran to his car, trying to catch up to the girl.
When Cherry arrived to the dojo, she took off her jeans - she has shorts under - and stripped to her tank top. Putting her hair into a pony tail, she began to punch the punching bag that was hanging. That's what Johnny had walked in to.
