The next day Nicole went home showered and came back. Kreese got there a few minutes after her.
"Hi Nicole." He said.
"Hi."
"How are you today?"
"Good."
"Have you and Robby discussed anything?"
"Yes we have."
"And?"
"I'm in." Robby said.
"Great, what about you?" He asked looking at Nicole.
"I need time to think about it." Nicole said.
"That's fine."
When the class came in Nicole's nerves shot up.
"What's up Robby?" Hawk said.
"Not much." He looked at Nicole then back to Robby.
"This her?"
"Yeah."
"Hi I'm Hawk."
"What's your real name?" She asked.
"My name's Hawk."
"Ok." "Nice to meet you Hawk."
Tory came up to her.
"Hi." Tory said.
"Hi."
"I apologize." "Jumping you was Kate's idea not mine." "I never should've went along with it." "Are we cool?"
"Yeah." Nicole said.
"Have you joined up?"
"Not yet, I've been offered though."
"I notice you didn't say no." "You should definitely think about it."
"I am."
After class Tory went back over Nicole.
"I really hope you decide to join." Tory said. "I could always tell Miyagi-do wasn't for you." "You're a cobra, with a chip on her shoulder, like most of us." "Hopefully the next class I come to your signed up." "See you later."
"Bye." Nicole went over to Robby.
"See I told you everything would be fine." Robby said.
"Yeah."
"Do you really have to go home?"
"Yeah." "If I want to go to college I have to pass junior year."
"I guess I won't have anyone to cuddle with tonight." He said jokingly sticking out his lower lip.
She laughed. "The first ever pouting cobra." They kissed. "I love you honey."
"I love you too."
The sun was just starting to set. As Nicole got in her car. She saw Hawk starting to walk.
"Hey." She said. He turned around. "Want a ride?"
"Yeah." He got in. "Nice car."
"Thanks."
They were driving.
"Do you mind stopping at a drive-thru?" He asked. "I'm starving."
"Not at all." "I'm hungry to." They ordered and were eating in the parking lot.
"What's that thing on the backseat?"
"My sketchpad." "I like to draw."
"Can I look?"
"Yeah." He picked it up and started looking through it.
"These are great."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome." "I regret it about Dimitri."
"What?"
"I broke his arm."
"Oh."
"I know it was wrong and I'm sorry." "Don't tell anyone."
"I won't." "Would it ruin your badass image?"
"Something like that."
They talked as she drove him home. She pulled up outside of his house.
"Thank you." He said.
"You're welcome."
"Eli."
"What?"
"My name's Eli." "Bye."
"Bye." He got out of the car. She drove off.
