An| Hi! Thanks for reading! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW! I only have 14 reviews and 768 views. A bit depressing... So, PLEASE REVIEW!
My longest chapter yet!
If you want to read the next chapter, review and let me know! Otherwise I won't post the next chapter! Mwahahaha! I'm evil!
Jack POV
Rudy came out of his office and told me that there's someone he wants me to meet.
I turned around and saw somebody behind him. When I got a better look at who he is, I gasped. He was the one and only, Patrick Nealson. (I completely made that name up, if you are named Patrick Nealson ,or know someone who is named sensei Patrick Nealson, it is a total coinky-dink*) Patrick Nealson was the worlds most famous sensei who taught at the Yuron Academy. (Again, made that up.) the Yuron Academy was the worlds number one ranked martial arts training school. It was where all the karate, jujitsu, taekwondo, and etc, legends were made. What in the world was this guy doing in our dingy little dojo?
"Wow! I can't believe I'm actually meeting you sensei! Your like the greatest sensei alive!" I said to sensei Nealson. "No offense Rudy," I said quickly. "What are you doing here all the way in Seaford?" I asked Sensei.
"Actually Jack, that's what we wanted to talk to you about," said Rudy, aswering for Sensei Patrick. "Why don't you come in my office?" asked Rudy.
The rest of the guys got up but sat back down when Rudy said "Not everyone! I was talking to Jack. ONLY Jack.
"I was sort of nervous, I wished the others could come in with me. I mean a world famous sensei wanting to talk with you in private? It's scary...
Kim's POV
When Rudy said that Sensei Patrick wanted to talk to Jack alone, my heart stopped beating for a second. I know it's mean, but I really hoped he didn't get another scholarship offer. I couldn't bear to lose him again after I almost lost him when he got offered a partial scholarship to the Otai Academy. (Alright, so maybe my crush on Jack isn't so little...)
Jack POV (in Rudy's office)
What in the world happened to Rudy's office? It looked so... neat, organized and un-Rudylike. I sat down on the couch next to Rudy.
"Alright Jack, listen up. " said Sensei Patrick. He said, "I've been watching you Jack. I've been to all of your tournaments and competitions. I've seen all of them."I've even seen some of the videos of practices that Rudy sent me. and remember when you um.. broke into Bobby's house? Bobby also sent me the security footage of that.
"So, what I'm hearing is that ...you've been stalking me?"I said, officially creeped out. "Jack, do NOT blow this!"said Rudy in a loud whisper.
"Well, my good friend Bobby told me that you're an excellent fighter. And Rudy sent me the tapes of your practices," said Sensei.
"You videotape our practices?!" I asked completely surprised.
He replied, "No, but I have a security camera that does!"
"Anyway Jack, I have an offer for you. I want you to come train at the Yuron Academy. We can make you the best of the best. And I've made a decision. I want to give you a full scholarship to attend, " he said.
"Y-y- your offering me a full sch-sch-scholarship?"I stuttered, I couldn't believe what I had just heard. "You're kidding!"I said.
Sensei didn't move. He didn't even smile. Okay, so maybe hasn't a big kidder.
I turned around and looked out the window. I saw Kim do a perfect routine that she had been practicing on for months.
I think to myself, why doesn't she ever get scholarships? She's great at karate too..
"Wow Jack. Wow. This guy is offering you a full scholarship and you're thinking about Kim," says my conscience.
Okay, so I have a crush on the girl. Is that a crime? I turned my attention back to Rudy and Sensei Patrick. "How long will I be there for?" I questioned
The sensei looked at Rudy and then back at me. "We'll you see, Jack you'll need to work very hard there and that takes time. Minimum 5 years."
"WHAT?!" Screamed Rudy and I at the same time.
"5 YEARS!" I said. "By that time, well be in our first year of college. I don't think I can leave for that long. Where will I stay?"
Rudy looked up and said quietly, "Jack, I think he's asking you to move there."
Sensei looked up and said, "and, of course all moving expenses will be also be paid for."
"I don't know guys." I told them truthfully. I desperately wanted to go but another part of me didn't.
"We'll let you think it over and talk with your family. Rudy and I will also be in touch with your parents. You can tell us your final decision in a week," said Sensei Patrick.
Kim POV (while Jack was on the office.)
I had a feeling that something bad was going to happen. If Jack had to move or something I would be crushed. Maybe they were just talking about a new tournament they wanted Jack to participate in, or a commercial or something. I really wanted to believe that this was the case, but I knew that nothing of the sort was going to happen. I was 99.99% positive that Jack was getting offered a scholarship like he had from the Otai Academy in Japan.
The others continued practice, not suspecting a thing.
There was a special routine that I was working on for months and I thought that maybe, just maybe I could get it flawless today. I worked on it for a few minutes and then on my third try, I got it! It was perfect!
Milton, Eddie, and Jerry just stood there with there mouths hanging open!
Milton was the first to speak, "How the heck did you do that?"
I smiled. "With magic,"I replied.
"No way! You're a magician? That's swag yo! Woooooh! We've got a magician in the house!" said Jerry.
I didn't even bother to reply.
I thought, if Jack went or moved somewhere, he might never know I have a crush on him. Not that I was planning to tell him anytime in the near future, but still. Maybe I could give him my letter. I still had it. I wonder what he wrote in his letter. Maybe he wrote that he liked me! He probably didn't, I realized. I mean maybe he just said the regular best friend stuff. Then again..., he didn't write anyone else a letter.
Anyway, it looked like Jack was done talking.
Rudy POV
I was in as much shock as Jack was. I thought Jack was going for a month or two. A year at most. I almost fell over when Patrick said 5 years. It was a huge opportunity for Jack and I. I could be a former sensei of a karate champion who attended Yuron Academy! I didn't know if Jack could handle it. I mean, with everything that just happened with Bella, and now this? I didn't think I could handle loosing Jack. He was more than a student. He was a friend. And honestly, I do think the kids even considered me as a proper "sensei". The called me Rudy! Who calls a sensei by his first name!? I would be talking with Jack's parents soon, It would be so depressing to see him leave.
Jack POV
We were done talking. I got up and walked straight out of Rudy's office. I was still in a daze.
Kim came running up to me and asked "Jack, what happened in there?"
The others followed her and I was being bombarded with questions.
"Guys, I-I got offered a full scholarship to the Yuron Academy in Brazil."
Nobody said anything.
Kim broke the silence by saying, "Wow Jack... This is a huge opportunity for you. It's a one in a life time chance."
Eddie said, "she's right Jack, you might never get this offer again."
"You've got to take it."said Milton.
"Guys, it's up to Jack. It's his decision." This came from Rudy.
I told everyone, "Guys, I have a lot of thinking to do. Rudy does too. I have to tell them my decision in a week."
The room grew silent. I glanced at Kim. She looked crestfallen.
"I'll meet up with you guys in Phil's,"she said dejectedly. She walked out of the room. Her walk didn't have the usual bounce in it.
Rudy announced, "Okay guys, see you tomorrow."
The rest of the guys walked out the dojo but as I was about to step foot outside, Rudy called out, "Jack, can I talk to you?"
I made my way over to Rudy.
He told me, "Listen, Jack, I know this is a huge decision. Even bigger than the Otai Academy one because this time you're getting a full scholarship. Wish means you have to pay absolutely nothing. But remember, your parents, Sensei Patrick, and I will all help, you decide. And remember one last thing Jack. it's your decision, nobody else's."
I walked out the dojo and into Falafel Phil's.
At this point, the guys had left and Kim was the only one left sitting there. She looked like she was going to cry. I sat down next to her and asked, "You okay Kim,?"
"I'm fine," she replied quickly,wiping away a tear.
Clearly she wasn't "fine" but I let it go.
She stood up, said "I gotta go, bye Jack," and ran out the door.
I chased after her and I told her I'll walk her home. We basically lived on the same street anyway.
When we got to her door, she threw her arms around me and said, "Jack, make your decision carefully okay?"
I nodded and hugged her back. Finally, we both said goodbye and I trudged up the street to my house.
