Chapter 9: A "Normal" Morning

"Mike! Come back here, I'm trying to help you!" Emily yelled at Mike, chasing him around the house with a bag of peas. Emily had accientally hit Mike in the head with her spoon when she was trying to reach the ceral box.

"No way! How many times do I have to tell you that I'm fine!" Mike yelled back, still running away from the petite girl chasing him. They ran past Mia and Kevin sitting at the table in the kitchen, eating.

Kevin rolled his eyes "Oh no. There they go again." Mia giggled at his remark. Jayden came into the kitchen to hear yelling from outside.

"What's going on?" Jayden asked.

"Emily hurt Mike again and is insisting he should have that bag of peas." Kevin said just as Emily and Mike were coming back inside. When Jayden saw them running into the dojo, he said "That's it. They need to stop these kiddish games." Jayden walked into the dojo and blocked the doorway. He held his arms up and shread his body out. He thought if they would to ran out of there, he could stop them in their tracks. Well, let's just say he was half-wrong and half-right. Mike turned to the doorway and saw Jayden blocking it. "Dude, get out of the way." he yelled.

"No, not until you two stop..." Jayden was saying until Mike ran up and dived for the opening under Jayden's legs. He looked down to see Mike sliding under him on his stomach. When he looked back up, he saw the bag of peas and Emily infront of his face. Emily was taken by surprise when she saw Mike slid under Jayden. She didn't stop dead in her tracks until she uncontrollably plunged into Jayden.

Kevin and Mia ran to the dojo when they heard a loud pop coming from there. Once they got there, they found Emily laying on top of Jayden with hundreds of peas everywhere on the floor. The bag of peas had busted when it hit Jayden in the chest.

Jayden tried to shake the peas off his face as he looked up at Emily, who was staring at him with frighten eyes. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Kevin and Mia staring at them. Jayden quickly rolled Emily off of him as he stood up, brushing peas off him. "It wasn't what it looked liked."

Mike came back to the dojo and laughed once he saw what happened after he escaped. "Wow, I knew those peas weren't a good idea." He kneeled down to Emily and helped her back on her feet. Once she was standing, she quickly ran over to Jayden and started apologizing like crazy. "Jayden, Jayden! I'm so sorry! I didn't see you there when Mike moved. I'm really sorry. Please forgive me! I'll try to make sure it won't happen again."

"It's ok. Seriously, its ok." Jayden insisited.

"What? NO IT ISN'T!" Emily keep babbling as Jayden walked out of the room with Emily following him.

"Well, after we get this mess cleaned up, we got to start heading to school ." Kevin said after they were gone.

Mia huffed "I'll go get the broom."

Kevin watched Mia leave then turned his attention to Mike, who was watching Emily and Jayden from the inside. Kevin noticed a certain look on Mike's face that made Kevin smirked.

Mike snapped back at the sound of Kevin's smirk. "What?"

"Do I spy a hint of jealously?" Kevin said, rising an eyebrow.

"What! Are you kidding? Emily's, like, my best friend! I don't like her!" Mike rejected.

"I didn't say you liked her. I just said I spied a hint of jealously." Kevin slyly smiled. Mike sent him a glare.

"Whatever. Let's just go eat breakfast." Mike sighed, heading to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Jayden found Antonio and got him to make some breakfast for everyone. Mia came in after cleaning up the mess Emily made a few minutes ago, followed by Mentor Ji.

"So Jayden, how did your football tryouts go?" Mentor asked, grabbing a plate.

Jayden took a bite of his food. "Oh yeah! I made the team; Coach said if I start practicing more with the team and he watches me more, I could be on varsity."

Mia roughly tapped on Jayden's hand from across the table. "Jayden, don't talk with your mouth full!"

"Yes, Mom." Jayden mocked, earning a death look from Mia.

"Wonderful. Mia, Kevin; how did your tryouts go?" Mentor asked, looking directly at the variety of breakfast foods in front of him.

"Huh?" Mia snapped out of her death look. "Oh, I made the team! These cheerleaders are all so nice." Mia smiled.

"I made the swimming team too; varsity actually. Coach G told me that with me on the team, we could go to the state championship!" Kevin explained.

"Mhmm. Antonio, what's in this?" Mentor asked, not really listening to Mia or Kevin talking. He was too caught up in the food choices.

"Fish and lemon."

"Oh, sounds nasty. I'll take it." Mentor grabbed the fish and sat at the table with the rest of the rangers, followed by Antonio with his plate.

"Now, what were you two saying?" Mentor said, now focusing back to Mia and Kevin.

"Nothing, Ji. Nothing." Mia shook her head.

"So Emily, Mike, and Antonio; are any of you planning on doing any sports in particular?" Mentor asked.

"Nay, I'm not in to all that sports junk." Mike frowned. Even though Mike played basketball once as a kid, he was never into it. So he decided all sports were lame.

"Actually, my computer class is starting a club." Antonio commented. "Its going to be called the Tech Club; I was thinking of joining that. So if I were in a sport, there would be an interference with the Tech Club."

"Not really." Emily simply said. Emily wasn't really the sporty type; she would rather cuddle up in a sofa with a good book to read.

After breakfast was over, it was time to start driving to school. Once they got outside, they had alittle dilemma.

"So, who's riding with who?" Jayden asked everyone. He looked around to see everyone looking at eachother.

"Hey Kevy," Mia smiled at Kevin, stroking his arm. "Can I ride with you?"

"Yeah, sure thing Mia." Kevin gulpped. He and Mia may their way to his truck and left for school.

"Let's go Jayden. You and me are gonna ride together." Antonio instructed, walking towards Jayden's car.

"Sure, Antonio. Yes, I wouldn't mine you riding with me." Jayden sarcastically said, rolling his eyes. Once he got in his car, they drove off to school.

"Well, I guess that leaves you and me." Mike said, swinging his arm around Emily.

"Yeah, guess so." Emily nervously laughed. Which walking to the car, Emily had a weird feeling in her stomach; like butterflies floating around in it.
