𝘎𝘪𝘳𝘭𝘴 • Moon & Tory

TWENTY-ONE

KREESE had told them to come in regular clothes that day.

Lucia stood talking to Tory in the middle of the mat.

"So, did you tell Hawk that we kissed?" Lucia asked.

"Yeah, he was the one who told me that it was a good idea. I was talking about you to him and he suggested it." Tory shrugged.

"Of course he did. Why would you listen to that dickhead?" Lucia questioned.

"He's our friend and it was a good idea."

"No it wasn't, I had a girlfriend that I loved, and still love, but now she's gone because of you assholes." Lucia snapped.

"Look, Lucy, I'm not apologizing for anything I did and I'm not going to apologize for anything I do in the future."

Tory then stepped closer to the girl and they looked into each other's eyes.

"Everybody get your gi's on, training starts in five minutes!" Johnny ordered.

Everyone muttered in confusion, then walked up to Johnny.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" He asked.

"Nothings wrong, I just thought we were going to the woods for a special training today." Miguel replied.

Johnny turned to Kreese. "What's happening in the woods?"

"Well, I thought it was a good time to separate the men from the boys. And the girls too, I suppose." Kreese answered.

"How?"

"Coyote Creek." Kreese answered.

Johnny sighed. "I'm not sure they're ready for that."

"There's only one way to find out." Kreese scoffed.

"We're ready, Sensei. We want to prove ourselves."

Everyone muttered in agreement with Hawk.

"It's up to Sensei Lawrence. If he says it's okay, then, and only then is it okay." Kreese said.

Lucia looked at Johnny hopefully, really wanting to participate in Coyote Creek.

"Alright, what are you waiting for, let's go."

Everyone smiled it nodded. They made their way out of the dojo.

Tory went with Lucia in Lucas's car and drove into the woods.

"So, what do you think of Miguel?" Tory asked on the drive.

"Uh, I don't think of Miguel?" Lucia furrowed her eyebrows.

"Ugh, you know what I mean." Tory rolled her eyes.

"Fine. I think that he's really sweet and super good at karate. Why?" Lucia asked.

"I don't know. He's kinda cute." Tory smirked.

Lucia gave Tory a look, then looked back at the road.

Tory laughed. "It's fun making you jealous."

"I'm not jealous, Tory. We kissed once, and I didn't even kiss back." Lucia replied.

"So you wouldn't be upset if I went out with him?" Tory asked.

"Nope. You can do whatever you want." Lucia lied.

"Okay."

"Awesome."
