—————THE DAY ENDED with a great class and a smiling Miguel and most of all, a proud Johnny. The team of three had left the dojo by mid-afternoon and soon celebrated by going to Smitty's dinner—Veronica's choice and Johnny's treat.
"You're seriously going to eat all of that?" Miguel said, pointing at the huge burger and fries that lay atop of Veronica's plate. She made small claps with her hands as she practically felt her stomach rumble. "Yes of course! I'm starving and today is my only cheat day for the next few months!" Veronica stated, giggling in excitement at the plate in front of her. The waitress then came back with both of Miguel and Johnny's orders, placing their drinks in the table as well. Veronica picked up the burger and held it in front of her face with a silly smile; mostly to show Miguel and Johnny. "That is as big as your head, you won't finish it Veronica." Johnny humorously said, taking a sip of his drink and Miguel nodding in agreement. "I'll split it with you Johnny if I can't." She teased as Johnny chuckled, digging into his meal. Miguel, with already a bite of his burger in his mouth, had raised his hand. "I'll have some too!" He joined in and Veronica only laughed again. The Cobra Kai team of three ate up their meals, enjoying each other's genuine company—laughing, telling stories and spilling drama. It was mostly Veronica and Miguel, and Johnny telling a story from his years in high school every once and a while. As much as she loved hearing Miguel spill the drama of the next obnoxious rule that his high school administration made, Veronica couldn't help but wonder more about Johnny; she wanted to know him. He had so much experience and seemingly wisdom (in some places) she'd expect him to tell fun stories of him at fun parties and getting wasted or what was the hardest move in karate for him to accomplish. But he mostly listened to them. Veronica respected that—it said a lot about is character.
The trio were soon finished, taking a small break of just talking while they waited for their dessert. Surprisingly, it was Miguel and Veronica who wanted dessert, and Miguel ended up still being hungry. "How are you still hungry Miguel? After my burger, I feel like I might pass out. I'll definitely pass out once I hit my bed at home." Veronica giggled, feeling stuffed from her burger and fries. "Fast metabolism I guess?" Miguel suggested as he laughed. "Veronica, you want to share a milkshake then?" Johnny offered sweetly. She tilted her head, tapping her finger dramatically on her chin as she thought about it. She could share one, now that Miguel had been describing the perfect milkshake for ten minutes. Also, she and Johnny were sharing a milkshake together—something so mundane gave such excitement to Veronica's bones. She could admit it was kind of weird to think something as small as sharing food with Johnny gave her quite a thrill of happiness and butterflies in her stomach again. Boy does she have it bad for the Karate Sensei now. She finished her short dramatic bit and smiled to Johnny. "Sure!" He smiled back at her, and soon giving a waitress both Miguel and their order.
