Chapter 1

Amanda's POV

"How about we go out for a little victory dinner?" Owen asked.

"Didn't you just eat?" Mike asked.

"Yeah, you're point is?" Owen replied.

I shook my head; we went from the dojo to Mike's room.

We went to the local Pizza Hut, and ordered a large pepperoni pizza.

Let's just say, Owen ate about half the pizza, and barely leaving any slices for me and Mike.

Owen was about to reach for another slice of pizza, until I slapped his hand.

"OW!" he yelled.

"No more for you!" I said.

Mike nearly choked laughing at us.

He has a really cute laugh.

Mike's POV

Amanda slapped Owen's hand, making him squeal.

"Ow!" he yelled.

"No more for you!" Amanda told him.

Ever since Amanda's break up with Cameron, she seems happy.

I think I might be falling for her again... No, Mike Fukanaga, don't think like that, you're dating Julie now.

After we paid the check, we were about to walk our separate ways until I saw Julie…kissing another guy.

"Oh my God." Amanda said, loud enough for Julie to hear.

She broke away, and saw all three of us standing there in shock.

"M-Mike, I can explain." She said nervously.

"Don't, I guess you're not happy with our relationship, I'll just put you out of your misery."

"Mike, are you breaking up with me?"

I nodded.

Amanda's POV:

"Mike, are you breaking up with me?"
No, Julie, he's saying he's deeply in love with you. I thought sarcastically.

Mike nodded, and turned around and walked the other direction.

I looked at the guy she was kissing; it was Brad, captain of the football team.

Me and Owen followed Mike, he was really angry and sad.

I hated seeing Mike this upset, sure I would feel sad for him, like any friend would, but I felt his pain in the pit of my stomach.

We were far behind Mike, he was walking across, not paying attention, me and Owen were running towards him, because a car was coming at full speed.

But a figure came, sort of ran and pushed him out of the way.

He snapped out of it, we later caught up with Mike.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

But I only caught a glimpse of the heroic figure's face. It was a girl, She was African-American, Brown eyes, and long hair. We were about to thank her, but she made a run for it, leaving something behind.

A mon, except it had a different pattern, it was a gingko chasing five pieces.

I remember it because; I looked up different types of Mon.

I grabbed it, and examined it closely, and then we followed the girl.

She was being cornered in an alley.

"Just give me your bracelet, and I'll probably let you live." A raspy voice said.

"No." she replied.

"GIVE IT TO ME!" he yelled.

He grabbed her wrist, but she did something I didn't expect. She released his grasp, and flipped him.

He quickly recovered, and threw a punch at her, she quickly caught it with her hand, and then kicked his side. But the mugger didn't seem to give up, he started to choke her, I tried to go in and stop him, but Mike held me back, knowing what would happen next. She broke his grip, and wrapped her legs around his neck, and fell backwards, causing him to be on his back, but he still wouldn't give up, we sort of ended up just watching the fight, he threw punches, and she dodged. She was swift on her feet, and moved like a dancer, like Mike.

But she finally flipped him, and he ran away.

"Hey." I said.

Scaring her.

"Hi." She said shyly, like nothing happened.

"You left this." I said, throwing it to her, she caught it, and put it on her neck.

We made it seem like, we left, but we were really watching.

She jumped onto a dumpster, and jumped from roof to roof.

"Whoa." Owen said.

"That was awesome." I said.

"Come on, we have to go to the dojo, to tell grandpa." Mike said.

He grabbed my hand, and we ran as fast as we could.

I could my feel my face turning red.
