Jack's POV's

I lay on the karate mats overwhelmed with immobility. I turn on my side and cough up blood. I rotate again onto my back. The ceiling seems slightly darker than before. Rudy and Kim's faces enter my line of vision. They mouth a few things, but I never could read lips.

To think a couple days ago I was getting an award for physical agility.

~Monday~

"And lastly,' The Most physically Active Student' award goes to…JACK BREWER!" The mistress of ceremony announces. I walk up to the podium to receive my award. The crowd cheers as I walk of stage and take my seat yet again. I already had the award for Best Hair, Most Dangerous Skateboarder, and Coolest Sneakers. I look over at Kim, who has the award for Strongest Girl.

After school, we head to the dojo to practice. Rudy was already set up to practice. We were practicing for a tournament coming up where I earn my third degree black belt. He looks stressed. I try to sneak in unnoticed before he says something.

"Jack, I bad news," he starts.

"Hey Rudy," I sigh as I turn in my footsteps.

"Can I talk to you in my office?" Rudy questions.

I sit down in the raggedy couch. He looks at me with a worried impression.

"What?"

"Oh yeah, I found out you have to compete in the tournament on Wednesday," he says bluntly.

"What's the big deal Rudy?"

"Oh, well, I was told that you have to spar against…Kai. He just entered, and they needed an opponent for him," he finally spits out.

After that, I had to go practice no-stop. Kim and I sparred, Jerry helped me with my spinning back kick, and Rudy and I practiced with the bo staff. I have to be ready to fight Kai. I can't lose to Kai again!
