Jasmine woke up to loud banging on the door and miguel call her name.
She gets up and looks in the mirror. She looked like a train hit her.
"Hold on a minute" she called out and quickly fixed her up a bit.
She goes to door to see a panting miguel diaz.
"Miguel? What's wrong?" She asks
"What? Nothing, we gotta wait for that man to get back! Maybe he can teach us that Taekwondo stuff he did!" Miguel beams
"Um miguel-"
"Look look! He is here" miguel says rushing towards him
She rolls her eyes and close the behind her, following miguel.
"Um I'll like to thank you for last night" miguel tells the man
"Well you said it" the man says annoyed walking past both you and miguel
"So what was that? Like Taekwondo or jujitus or MMA or somthing?" Miguel says following him
Jasmine follows miguel in silence, feeling awkward a bit
"It's karate"
"Old school karate" the older man responds
"Do you think you could teach us?" Miguel asks him as he opens his mail
"What? No" he responds
"Oh come on. When school starts those dickheads are gonna make Miguel's life hell" Jasmine steps in
"No, I don't do karate anymore, besides I need to look for a job"
"You could open your own karate school!" Miguel responds
"It's called a dojo" Jasmine tells miguel
"You could open your own dojo!" Miguel tells him
"Look, I'm not getting into this with you"
"I'm not even sure I'm allowed to be around kids" the man sighs
"You want my advice?"
Miguel looks at him
"Stop being so annoying" the man says quietly
Jasmine glares at him
"He isn't annoying" she tells him
"You aren't annoying" Jasmine reassures miguel
"You're, and if you stopped maybe you would stop getting your ass kicked"
Miguel sighs as he walks away.
Jasmine grabs Miguel's hand and starts walking towards the forest.
"You aren't annoying, he is just a jerk.. Maybe there's a nearby dojo somewhere here?" Jasmine says
"Maybe.." miguel says disappointed
"Aw you'll be okayyy, come on! We can look up karate videos online and practice them by the creek? How does that sound?"
Miguel gives her a weak smile and follows her to the creek in silence.
They ended uo just throwing rocks into the creek and even pretended to have swords with sticks and fought.
Even through Jasmine knew it was childish, she never had much of a childhood. So she had fun doing it, especially with her new friend miguel.
By the end of the horse playing the layed down on the Rock next to each other.
They were so close, shoulders touching each other.
The touch felt electrifying.
Did Jasmine like miguel? She wasn't sure.
The guys that did come up to her, were only talking to her because she was pretty. She thought she liked those guys too, but she didn't.
She enjoyed what she had with miguel, and maybe one day it'll be somthing more.
For now she had to worry about school, and she did very much dread it, knowing what was waiting for both miguel and her there.
She nearly falls asleep before Miguel gets up and lays his hand out.
"Come on, we should search the forest more, I'm sure there are many more beautiful sights to see" he says smiling again
Jasmine nods, taking his hand and getting up from the large rock.
Miguel and Jasmine walk together, looking at all the trees.
After 25 minutes they finally come upon an area not too different from creek.
Except there were a bunch of cats and kitten all over.
"I think we've made it to heaven" Jasmine beams
She knows it's dangerous to touch a wild animal, but she couldn't help herself and went to pet a small kitten.
Although some of the cats ran aways and hissed, many were very sweet cats and allowed pets.
Miguel picked up a smaller white cat who was purring in his arms.
Jasmine gets up and walks towards them.
"She is so cute" Jasmine says petting the cat Miguel was holding
"Yeah, she is" miguel wispers, except he wasn't looking at the cat
Jasmine blushes but continues to pet the cat
Miguel notices its starting to get dark and grabs her hand and starts walking back.
Was Miguel flirting with her? She wonders. It was all she could think about when arriving home.
Once they arrive in the parking lot the older blonde man they talked to earlier that day came up to them.
"I've changed my mind. We're starting our own dojo. My name is Johnny, but to you it is sensi Lawrence."
