“Jenna,” Sifu Hale said, “are you limping?”

Mark stopped short and stared at his partner.

“Yes,” Jenna mumbled. “I twisted my ankle this morning. But I’m fine!”

“I’ll be the judge of that,” Sifu Hale said. “Sit, please.” He examined her ankle. It was swollen and black and blue, and it looked very painful.

“Jenna, this is badly sprained.” Sifu Hale helped Jenna to a bench. “I’m sorry, but I’m afraid you’re out of the demonstration.”

“But I won’t have a partner for the throws!” Mark blurted out. The minute he said it he wished he could put the words back in his mouth. Jenna had looked simply disappointed before, but now she looked guilty and disappointed.

Sifu Hale stood up. “I’ll see if I can find someone to take Jenna’s place. Meantime, Mark, can you get an ice pack?”

Mark was wrapping the pack in a towel when the door to the school opened and Jonas walked in.

“Good, you’re here!” he said when he spotted Mark. “Listen, I — ”

“Jonas!” Sifu Hale came out of his office. “Just the boy I wanted to see. How would you like to take henna’s place in the demonstration?”

The ice pack slipped from Mark’s hands and fell to the floor with a crash.
