The next day at school Zane wore a Pink long sleeve t shirt, With black pants, and white shoes. He was at lunch sitting with Miguel and the other guys from yesterday when a counselor started talking.
"Cyberbullying is no laughing matter. Sending a cruel message to someone online can be just as hurtful as saying it to their face. I'm not gonna name names, But the other day a mother called me up because her son was crying after some kids online made fun of his facial deformity. But today, Our goal here is to make this school a safe space for all students."
As she said this everyone started murmuring under their breath that it was Eli she was talking about and they started laughing quietly. Zane noticed this and felt bad for Eli when Miguel interrupted his thoughts. "If you're sick of getting bullied, My karate dojo's looking for recruits."
Demetri snorts "Yeah, right. You hear that, Eli? A little karate training, And you're gonna kick some major ass." Miguel shifts in his sit "I'm serious, Demetri. My sensei's the real deal. I'm sure I could get you three discounts."
Zane gets curious he could use some time outside of the house his dad is pretty suffocating "Yo Miguel what's it called?" Miguel answer back "Cobra Kai." Zane nods his head saying "I might check it out." Demetri on the other hand says "As enticing as that sounds, I think we'd rather spend our afternoons playing crucible control than getting hit in the face."
Suddenly the counselor starts talking again "Oh, One more thing. While we're all looking forward to the Halloween dance, Let's make sure. . . Our costumes are culturally sensitive. For example, instead of "sexy nurse," Maybe try "gender-neutral hospital employee."
When she said that everyone started laughing while Zane just tuned everything out, as he was bored as hell. After school that day Zane decided to go to the dojo with Miguel when they got there his sensei wasn't there yet, Suddenly a man pulled up into the parking lot.
