3 first day of school

[2 hours later]

Me and Miguel almost finished cleaning the place when Johnny came back with 2 packs of beer and put them in the fridge in his office.

Johnny walked out of his office and asked "Dylan You're going to school ?"

"Yeah i'm going to West Valley High. I'm gonna go to school for the first time in two years." I answered.

"Why ?" Miguel asked.

"Work." I responded.

Curious, Miguel asked "What kind of work ?"

"You don't wanna know !" I replied and he shrugged it off and looked at the trophies of my dad.

"So, i, uh, see you were a karate champion, sensei." Miguel asked.

"You don't have to call me Sensei every time !" Johnny said.

"Sorry, sensei....i,um,i'm sorry." Miguel struggled.

"Eh, i won a couple all valley tournament, didn't lose a single points in my junior year." Johnny explained with a little smile.

"And what happened in your senior year ?" Miguel asked impressed.

"He lost to an illegal kick !" I explained.

Johnny looked at me "How do you know that ?" But he was intterupted by a music that started playing.

Miguel took out his phone and answered the call.

"What the hell is that garbage coming from ?" Johnny asked, hearing the shitty music from Miguel's phone.

After a few minutes he hung up and Johnny said after sipping his beer "Don't Tell me you have a girlfriend."

Miguel chuckled and said "That was my mom, actually. Huh, i told her i joined the debate team because she doesn't approve of violence, so...."

"You could've just told her it is to defend yourself !" I said and Johnny agreed and said "True, what about your dad ? Is he ok with you getting your ass kicked up and down reseda boulevard ?"

"...i..i never huh, really knew my dad, so..." Miguel replied a bit sad.

Johnny looked at him as if he saw himself here and said a bit softly "all right, well, stop standing there. Get back to training"

"Uh, yeah, yeah, ok." Miguel got back to cleaning.

Johnny went back to his office and said "and change that ringtone. Get some Guns N'Roses or something."

"What's Guns N'Roses ?" Miguel asked as i looked at him with a deadpan.

"I'm going to pretend you didn't say that." Johnny replied.

[The next day]

Me and Miguel are at the cafeteria at school looking for a table to sit and eat.

Miguel seemed to have found a table so i followed him to a table with two kids. Miguel said "Can we sit here?" the kids looked up and passed Miguel before looking at me.

I'm 6'2 with a lean muscular body. (Think of Schwarzenegger but a bit smaller)

One of them gulped and nervously said "yes."

We sat down and intoduced ourself.

"Miguel."

"Dylan."

Then the one of the two kids introduced himself "Dimitri." He poited to the other kid "This is Eli. He is a man of few words."

"What happened to your lip ?" I asked Eli and started eating.

Eli was silent.

"I got some too, look." I say as i lift my shirt and show him a big scar i have on my left side.

The three where stunned

Then Miguel was distracted by girls passing by.

Dimitri looked at Miguel and said "Stop torturing yourself. Those are the rich girls."

"Rich girl ? It's theire parents that are riches not them !" I chuckled and continued eating.

"Same things, they are rich !" Dimitri sighed.

"Do you ever talk to them or...?" Miguel asked stupidly.

Dimitri laughed and said "Oh, eah, all the time. We hang out after school, make out, give each other handjobs."

Then Miguel understood the sarcasm while Dimitri continued "Eli here is the homecoming king. Gets laid more than anyone isn't that right, Eli ?" Then he looked at Miguel and continued "Talk to them ? You realize what table you're sitting at, right ? You've pretty much signed away all hopes of losing your virginity before college. Apart from Mr. Gorilla here."

"Hey ! I'm stronger than a gorilla !" I replied.

"Yeah and i'm the queen of england !" Dimitri said sarcasticly.

I replied while faking bowing "Hello my queen !" And laughed with Miguel and Eli.

"Seriously tho you should see how much he can weight." Miguel said.

"Oh, shit, Yasmine's looking at us. Probably just making fun of me." Eli started getting nervous.

"I don't think she's making fun of you. I mean, just because they're hot doesn't mean they're mean." Miguel tried to reassure him.

"Why do you care ? At most they will mock you behind your back. Children are too scared to say things face to face." I explained while giving Eli a pat on the back.

[The girls POV]

"Oh my god, you guys. You see that guy over there who looks like he went down on a lawnmower ? He is wearing the ugliest shirt i have ever seen." The blonde, Yasmine said before laughing.

"And did you see that handsome guy talking to him ?" The latina, moon said, looking at Dylan with interest.

"What can that guy be doing with those losers ?" Yasmin asked getting interested too.

[Dylan's POV]

"I don't care if Yasmine is the meanest girl at school." Dimitri turned to us "i'll kill you three just to get her to spit on my face."

"Wow bro, stop simping she ain't worth it !" I said raising an eyebrow.

"Well, if you don't make a move, you're never gonna have a shot with her." Miguel told him.

"True, but i'll also never suffer a humiliating rejection. I'm at peace with my depression. The last thing i need to be is suicidal." Dimitri replied.

"The worst she is gonna do is say no. And if she does, Work out, make money however you can, start dressing better and she would be sad that she didn't saw your potential." I told him while finishing my meal.

"Yeah i prefer staying how i am !" Dimitri replied.

Then Miguel got up and walked over to the table of girls.

"What is he doing ?" Dimitri asked.

"Striking first !" Miguel replied before getting to the girls table.

Miguel came back after a few seconds and sat down.

"How did it go ?" Dimitri asked sarcasticly.

Miguel made a mocking face.

"Want me to go in your place ?" I asked Miguel with a smile.

"No man, forget it !" He replied
