"Miggy, why don't you tell me who did this? I'll call the school. They can protect you."
"It'll only make things worse, Mama."
"Worse than this?" Carmen asked in disbelief
"Yes! If I just had more lessons, then maybe-"
"No."
"It's not Sensei Lawrence's fault. Or Violets. I just... I just wasn't ready." Miguel said and looked at Violet to say something but she had to admit she thought Carmen was right.
"No. No more karate."
"Carmen what's the problem here he found something he likes to do and he made a friend" his Ya Ya said standing up for him
"Thank you."
"Look at him!"
"I see him! What he needs is practice right? Keep your hands up, protect you face."
