"The back thrust kick works like this!" Sensei Lawrence announced to the dojo as he took his stance, "You step, pivot, throw a side kick."

Kit stood still with her head high, feeling oddly comfortable in her new gi.

"What is your opponent attacks you from behind?" Hawk spoke up from the first row. Kit glanced at the back of his head before her eyes moved back to Johnny.

"Excellent questions." Johnny nodded before hesitantly looking back, "Sensei Kreese, you want to take this one?"

The older man seemed some what in shock for a moment before he crept forward, "Certainly, Sensei Lawrence."

Kit glanced at Tory in the corner of her eye, looking forward again as Kreese stood before them, "The key to this move is making your enemy think you are retreating. But just as they let their guard down, thats when you strike the hardest."

"Jesus, are you kidding?" Tory asked as she shared a thing of cheese fries with Kit that evening. The dojo had decided to all go out to eat together, all falling into their own groups. Aisha and Tory invited Kit to join them, "She just left you for him?"

"Yeah, said I was a bully and she could do better." Kit nodded her head as she glanced at Hawk who passed them, "She wasn't wrong, but the leave me for my childhood best friend? Am I a bitch for overreacting?"

"No." Aisha said with a knowing look, "You're a bitch for not at least going and apologizing to him yet."

"He doesn't wanna talk to me." Kit said with a crazy look, glancing over at the now, bright red haired, boy, "Besides, I'd piss myself in fear!"

Tory laughed from the other side of her as Aisha cracked a smile and shook her head, "Cmon, there's a softie deep down inside there somewhere."

"He's gonna kick my ass." Kit spoke in disbelief.

"So kick his ass back." Tory shrugged, throwing a fry up to hit Kit in the face.

"Just don't take no for a answer." Aisha said before she gave a alarming look, "Unless it's sexual."

"Ew! I'd never have sex with a guy." Kit said with a fake gag, giving a slightly judged look, "Do I look like I would?"

"You look like a closet case, honestly." Tory spoke truthfully toward Kit as the taller girl gave her a eyebrow raise, "If you hadn't made up with Moon in the hallway last year I would have never known."

"Are you kidding?" Kit asked in almost disbelief as Tory and Aisha shook their heads, "You two are assholes."

The pair laughed as Kit stood up with a small nod, indicating she'd be back. Kid cleared her throat as she headed toward the bar part of the restaurant, dropping in on Hawk passing his fake ID toward the bar tender and a slide extra cash.

"Better watch your step, Shitlip." Kyler mocked as he tripped Eli, his science project crashing under him, "Bummer."

Yasmine laughed as she stepped on one of the models he made, walking off with Kyler. Eli looked up at Kit who was frozen, staring down at him. He gave her a hopeful look, red in the face. Kit opened her mouth to speak up.

"Kit, come on!" Yasmine called out to her. Kit looked back down at Eli with a sad look before following after them quickly.

"You know, it'll probably work better if you show a little leg." Kit said as she came up beside him, leaning on the bar like he had, "Works every time, trust."

"Trust you?" he asked with a scoff, Kit glanced his way, "What do you want?"

"I don't know." Kit shrugged her shoulders, meeting his eye, "Do you wanna punch me?"

Hawk rolled his eyes as he went to walk off before Kit jumped on his back quickly, "Wait! Listen to me!"

"Oh my god! Get off of me!" he shouted at her, trying to shake Kit off of him but failing miserably as her arms tightening around him, legs doing the same.

"I just.. I just want to talk to you, dude." she said, laughing as he pulled her up on his back more and headed out of the restaurant, "Wow, this is like riding a horse."

When Hawk exited the restaurant he flipped Kit over his shoulder so she landed on the hood of her own car. Kit winced in pain as she screwed her eyes shut before opening them to be met with Hawk glaring down at her, "You're so damn annoying!"

"What was the point of throwing me on my own car? At least do it on one that actually has the alarm working." Kit said with a groan as she sat up and got off her car, "I broke mine."

"I don't care!" he shouted at her, shoving her away, "Stop talking to me!"

"Then you talk!" she shouted as him, throwing her hands up in disbelief.

"I don't want to talk to you." he glared at her before giving in, "You're such a horrible person!"

"I know!" she yelled as him with a insane look, "I'm trying to be better!"

"You'll never be better! You'll never be the person you were! All you'll ever be is the bitch who left her friends for some stupid blonde girl that doesn't give a shit about." Hawk glared as he spoke his words, watching Kit stand before him. She hadn't seemed bothered, as if she hadn't already known, "I hate you for what you did."

"I know." Kit said, a sad look forming on her face, "I should have never left you and Demetri like that, I wish I had seen that sooner. You deserve better then that, and i'm sorry."

"You're sorry?" he asked her in disbelief, eyes wide, "Where was that apologize when you sat back and did nothing all those years your pathetic excuses of friends made fun of me?"

Kit had been yelled at plenty times in life, but this time it felt worse. It felt worse because she knew what he was saying was true, felt worse because she saw the hurt in his eyes. The hurt and pain she caused, something that seemed so broken that it couldn't be fixed.

"Eli-" she began before he cut her off.

"It's Hawk." he gave her a harsh glare, "But how would you know? It's not like you bothered to say shit until you felt guilty."

The restaurant doors opening made the pair look over. Tory raised a eyebrow, "Everything okay here?"

"Fine." Hawk glared as he stormed back into the restaurant, leaving the pair in the parking lot. Kit looked down as she sighed loudly.

"You okay?" Tory asked as Kit nodded, letting the Nichols grab her shoulder and insisted they leave.

"All right, i'm all Harry Pottered out." Tory said as she rolled off Kits bed, "I've gotta go meet Miguel anyways."

"But we have two more films." Kit said with a pout as she sat up, "I haven't even figured out what house you're in yet."

"We'll finish the rest tomorrow." Tory said with a laugh at Kits face, "Besides, I have to figure yours out too."

"How come you're meeting Miguel?" Kit asked as she lead Tory down stairs, passing her mother on the couch with guac on her face.

"He's all bummed out over his break up so i'm gonna take him to a place." Tory said as she glanced over at Kits mom. Kit waved her off as she opened the door, "Thanks for having me, I really liked your movies."

"You'll have to read the books next." Kit grinned as Tory gave her a crazy look, "They're a lot better then the movies."

"I'll see you later, Nerd." Tory said as she grinned and walked down the steps before turning to look back at Kit, "Let me guess.... Ravenclaw?"

Kit only smiled as Tory gave one back, turning on her heels and heading down the steps of the Clairmont home.

"You're a pretty little thing, aren't you?" the man asked as his gun shoved into the side of Kits face. His other hand caressing her skin, "Yeah, you are."

Kit was crying as she squeezed her eyes shut, feeling the coldness of the metal push farther into the side of her head, "P-please."

"You tell us the safe password and no one gets hurt." he spoke to her. Kit didn't dare look his way, knowing if she opened her eyes she'd only up her chances of getting murdered in her fathers study, "I'm sure that rich daddy of yours would love to see his baby girl bleed out on his floors."

"I don't know the password!" Kit sobbed as a loud yelp left her lips when the butt of the gun hit her in the head.

Kit woke up with a loud gasp, clutching her chest as she struggling to catch a breath. Her face had tears streaming down it, inhaling as she grabbed the water from her nightstand. It was two in the morning, meaning Kit had only slept a hour, meaning her lack of sleep was getting worse.
