xxWasabiWarriorAlertxx- Thank you! I haven't really looked at this story for a while, I wrote it like, a year ago. I'm kind of remembering it as I go along. Haha. :)
Chapter 8
...line break...line break...
When Jack came downstairs we quickly got something to eat and then started to walk to school. "Who were you on the phone with last night?" He asked me.
"Oh, you heard that?" I started nervously, "My annoying ex wanted to get back together... in fact he called me a few minutes ago..."
"Oh, if you don't mind my asking, what happened between you two?"
"Well, I saw how he treated this guy in China about a year ago, the was his cousin! It made me realize what a jerk he was, so I dumped him. And when my parents died I jumped on the change to leave and come back here."
"Oh, I'm sorry about that."
I shrugged. "Don't be; he means nothing to me now." I reached up and felt my necklace. I sighed and asked "So, how'd you become interested in karate?"
"My grandfather taught me, I bet I can guess how you started."
"My uncle, yeah, he started to me, but when I showed him how good I was, he wanted me to be in the best dojo in town. That's how I became a Black Dragon."
"So your uncle's the one responsible for you ever becoming a Black Dragon."
"Well when you put it that way, yes."
I smiled at him. But then something happened, he took my hand in his, and I let it stay there. I blushed heavily. That's when he realized what had happened and he blushed as well. But neither one of us removed our hand from the other.
...line break...line break...
During lunch I was talking to Jack about the tournament. "I'm not sure I can do the competition Jack." I looked at the floor sadly. As much as I wanted to compete, I didn't feel ready.
"Don't worry, Jess, you'll do great. I know you will." he replied, smiling at me.
"Thanks, but I haven't been in a tournament in over two years," I reached into my pocket for my phone, but didn't feel it, "I think I left my phone in my locker, I'll be right back."
He nodded and I left.
When I got to my locker, I saw a note taped to it. I looked at it and felt all color drain from my face. It said: 'Back out of the tounramant or else. And by or else, I mean you and Jack will never compete again.'
"Jess, can I talk to you?" A voice said from behind me.
I jumped and turned around. I let out a sigh of relief when I was Jack. "Um, yeah... w-what do you need?" I asked nervously.
"Well, I was um... wondering if you might like to go out sometime."
I closed my eyes. "Jack, I'd love to, but now's not really a good time."
"Why not?"
I handed him the note. "Jess, you aren't gonna let this stop you from competing, are you?" He asked after reading the letter.
"You can read, right? Because that note says that if I compete, we'll both be hurt. I can't compete!"
He looked at me sternly and said, "You are Bobby Wasabi's niece, if your worried someone's gonna hurt us, then, have him bring extra ninjas or something. But you are going to compete."
I closed my eyes again. "Ok, fine, you win. I'll compete. But if you, me, or both of us end up in the hospital, your parents are paying the bills!"
He chuckled. "Ok, but we'll be fine. I'll help you practice, you'll be alright."
...
Well, that's all I got today. I'm soo tired. Me and my sister are having a sleepover. I was out-voted and now we're watching Katy Perry: Part of Me. I don't like documentaries...
Review and everything, thanks.
Have a blessed day.
