Chapter 2: First Class and First Date
Chris was leading his friends through town to his father's dojo, while his music was playing from his Flips headphones, for the others to join him in jamming.
"I gotta warn you guys. My dad may be friendly, but he takes his job as sensei very seriously. My mom will be there too." Chris said.
"Great. We all can't wait to meet them." Anne said.
"By the way, we understand that two people have a date tonight." Chase said, making Chris and Anne blush.
"Yeah, we do." Chris said, taking Anne's hand in his.
"What do y'all plan to do?" Jennifer asked.
"We're going to see a movie." Anne replied.
"Great. What are you two going to see?" Dylan asked.
"I'm thinking the movie Divergent." Chris replied, making Anne smile.
"Are you sure you don't read minds? Because I really want to see that movie." Anne said.
"Yes, Anne. I can't read minds." Chris replied.
"I actually heard that movie was good." Rebecca said.
"I heard that a new horror movie was really good." Chris said.
"Which one?" Chase asked.
"I don't remember the name, but I do remember the name of one of the main actress's names." Chris said.
"Well, what's her name?" Jennifer asked.
"Chloe Grace Moretz." Chris said.
"Oh, you mean the movie Carrie." Dylan said.
"That's it. Thanks, man." Chris said.
"No problem." Dylan said.
The six friends made it to the dojo after a few minutes.
"Here we are." Chris said. He held the door open for the others and closed it behind him.
"That's my dad's office right there." Chris said, pointing to a door on the opposite side of the room. He led them to it and opened it up.
"Hey, Son." His father said.
"Hey, Dad. These are my friends. This is Chase Enheart, and his brother, Dylan. This is Chase's girlfriend, Jennifer Hudson, and no, she has no connection to the actress. This is Dylan's girlfriend, Rebecca Townley. And this beautiful girl is Anne Marshall, with whom I have a date tonight. Guys, this is my father and sensei, Frank." Chris said as he introduced his father to his friends and girlfriend and vice versa.
"Where's Mom at?" Chris asked.
"I'm right here, honey." His mother said outside of the office.
"Mom, these are some friends I made today. I assume you heard their names." Chris said, earning a nod from his mother.
"Guys, this is my mother, Susan." Chris said, introducing his friends and girlfriend to his mother.
After they were signed up for the classes, they changed and got ready for their first class.
"Now, as I believe you all know, karate is self-defense. My son will demonstrate by sparring with the other black belt student in my class, and his rival, James Walker." Frank said as the two students stepped forward and took fighting stances.
They then began sparring. After a few minutes, Frank told them to stop, and they reluctantly did. James smirked at Anne, and Chris glared at him. Frank then suggested the new students try. Chase and Dylan were really good, as were Anne and Jennifer, but Rebecca was struggling.
"What's wrong, Rebecca?" Chris asked.
"I don't want to hurt you." She replied.
"Nonsense. I'll go easy on you, I promise." Chris said to her.
"Okay." She said, not really believing him. Rebecca progressed pretty quickly.
"Very good, Rebecca. You did very well." Frank said, earning support from his son.
"Yeah. Who says Brits don't fight, right?" Chris joked, making himself and Rebecca laugh.
"Now, we have a competition next weekend, so I hope you'll all be ready. Dismissed." Frank said.
After the group got changed, Chris and James glared at each other.
"You think just because you're the sensei's son, that you're the best student?" James asked.
"Me being his son has nothing to do with it, Jamey. I'm just a natural." Chris replied, making Jamey scoff.
"Please, you know I'm the better fighter." Jamey said.
"What I know is that you are a rash, stubborn, and egotistical bastard. My dad keeps you in the dojo because he believes in your skill, okay? So let it go." Chris said, trying not to punch his rival in the mouth.
"Alright. I'll see you tomorrow." Jamey said before Chris grabbed his arm.
"And if you so much as smirk at my girlfriend again, you'll need some new teeth. Clear?" Chris threatened.
"No problem." Jamey replied, albeit with slight fear.
"Good." Chris said, then released his rival's arm. Anne came up to him after that.
"Ready?" She asked.
"Yeah, I am." Chris replied. He then told his parents that they all were headed to the movies.
"Okay, Son. Let us drive you guys to Canton." Frank said.
"Are you sure, Dad? I don't want them to be a burden." Chris said.
"Nonsense. We insist. They seem like good people." Susan said.
"Okay. Just don't embarrass me like last time." Chris said.
"No problem." Frank and Susan said at the same time. With that, everyone piled into the Ford Expedition.
"Why don't you all ask your folks if you can stay with us tonight? We have enough room in our house." Susan suggested while on the way to Canton.
"And we have guests stay a lot." Frank said.
"Sure. We'll call them and ask them." Everyone but Anne said. Chris looked at his girlfriend and was curious.
"What's the matter, Anne?" He whispered.
"My parents aren't very supportive with me as it is. If they found out I was going on a date, they'd kill me." She whispered back.
"Why's that?" He asked.
"They don't even believe me when I tell them that I'm late because of Josh and his gang. They'd have a fit if they realized I was on this date." She said, before explaining to him everything about her parents.
"God, that's awful. They never believed you?" He asked after she finished explaining everything to him. She nodded her head.
"Then they don't deserve to have you as a daughter." Chris said. She smiled at him for that.
"I've tried running away from them, but they won't me out of their sight." She said.
"Well, maybe someone could sneak your stuff out of your house for you." He said, winking at her. She realized what he was planning and agreed that he could help.
They all arrived at the movie theater in Canton when Anne lost all the color on her face as soon as she stepped out of the van.
"What is it, honey?" Chris asked her, and she pointed at two people who were storming up to the group of eight. They finally reached the group and were furious.
"Anne Marshall! What are you doing out this late?" Eileen asked.
"And who are these people?" James asked.
"We happen to be her friends." Chase said.
"And I am her boyfriend." Chris added.
"BOYFRIEND?!" James asked, full of fury. He swung his fist at Chris, only for him to block it, and twist his arm behind his back.
"I'm a black belt, bitch." Chris said as he shoved James away from him. Frank and Susan stepped in to stop the other parents from attacking again.
"Why are you both doing this?" Susan asked.
"We are only protecting our daughter." Eileen replied, which made Anne scoff.
"NOW, you're concerned for me?" She asked.
"We always have been." James said.
"Bullshit, you have been." Chris said.
"Watch your tone, young man." Eileen said.
"After everything Anne's already told me about you two, why the fuck should I?" Chris asked.
"What are you talking about, Son?" Frank asked, and Chris explained everything Anne told him.
"You both should be ashamed of yourselves!" Susan said to the other parents after her son explained how they did nothing for her.
"Why?" Eileen asked.
"Why? I just fucking told you all why!" Chris said.
Suddenly, police sirens approached. Police cars came up to the theater and approached the awful parents.
"James and Eileen Marshall?" The officer asked, and the two nodded their heads.
"You're under arrest for assault." The officer said, with the two parents having shocked looks on their faces.
"Who have we assaulted?" James asked.
"Me." Chris replied. The parents struggled after they were cuffed. The police car then drove away and the group went into the theater.
"So, what's everyone gonna see?" Frank asked.
"Anne and I are gonna see Divergent, Dylan, Rebecca, Chase, And Jennifer said they wanted to see Carrie, but what about you guys?" Chris replied and asked his parents.
"Hmm. I'd like to see the Hunger Games, Frank." Susan said.
"Sounds good to me." Frank said. Chris and Anne walked up to the ticket counter.
"What do you two want to see?" The ticket lady asked.
"Two for Divergent, please." Chris replied, and received two tickets to Divergent. The other two teenage couples walked up after them.
"What movie?" The ticket lady asked.
"Four for Carrie, please." Chase replied. They then received their tickets and walked to the other teenage couple to wait. After Frank and Susan got their tickets to the Hunger Games, everyone walked into the theater. They all got their drinks and popcorn and headed to their respective auditoriums.
==A Few Hours Later==
Chris and Anne walked out of the auditorium, talking about how good the movie was.
"There will definitely be a sequel." Anne said.
"No doubt about it." Chris said as they met up with their friends in the lobby.
"So, how was Divergent?" Jennifer asked.
"Amazing." Chris and Anne said at the same time. Frank and Susan then joined the teens.
"How was the Hunger Games?" Chris asked his parents.
"It was good." Susan said. With that, they all left the theater, but not before stopping at Anne's house to pick up her things. After that was done, they stopped by the other teens' houses to pick up clothes for the next day. After that, they made their way back to Chris, Frank, and Susan's house, which was near a river.
"Wow. This place is amazing." Anne said.
"Bought the land and built the house ourselves." Frank said. When they made their way inside, a husky dog came running up to them and tackled Chris and started licking him.
"Okay, boy. Get off me." Chris said and the dog let him get to his feet.
"He's so cute." Anne said.
"Thanks." Frank said.
"What's his name?" Chase asked.
"Steel." Chris replied.
"I like that." Jennifer said.
"Well, we got plenty of rooms in this house. You guys go on ahead and pick out your rooms. Goodnight." Susan said.
"Goodnight." The teens said. They all found their own rooms and changed into their pajamas and went to bed.
That's chapter two. Next chapter will jump right into the weekend. Review and I'll post more chapters.
