Miss Cobra Kai [1]

Chapter 1

As the music in my headphones ended, I could hear my father and mother arguing in the front seat. I looked out the window to see our new house as we pulled into the driveway. I took one look and I knew it wasn't the best house but I also realized that some people have it way worse so I was grateful. My father began to open my door to pull me out so we could unload our car and the moving van that we were following all the way here.

 I started by grabbing a box for my room so I could figure out which room was mine, this way any box that was mine people would know where to put it. While I was walking back out of the house and grabbing a box that was for the living room, I saw a red, beat up, old car zoom past and turn into an apartment complex. After he zoomed past my mother cursed him out and continued to hand me boxes to bring inside.

Eventually, all the boxes were inside and in the correct rooms. Now it just came down to setting everything up and putting everything else that was unneeded away. Just as I was about to finish putting my clothes away and tidying up, my parents started to scream at each other. My mom was upset with my father for already wasting money on beer and my dad was yelling back at her for not putting something together correctly. I was sick and tired of listening to them scream so I decided to go explore the area around the town I had just moved into. I put on some jean shorts and a long sleeve grey shirt with a V-neck. Just as I was putting on my black Nike sneakers I quickly grabbed a 10 dollar bill off the counter and yelled to my parents "I'm going on a walk to see what's around! I'll be back!" In response I heard my mom scream "You better be home by dark!"

I made it pretty far before I realized it was almost dark so I ran almost all the way home that way I wouldn't get in trouble for being out late. By the time I was on my street it had been dark for about 5 minutes. I decided I should sprint the rest of the way home but before I started I saw red and blue flashing lights coming from a mini mart. The curiosity was building up inside of me so I walked by to see what was going on. I saw four beat up teenagers and a Hispanic looking boy with braces covered in a pink liquid. The guy with braces on was staring in amazement as a blonde man was being pepper sprayed by the police. As the police were arresting the man the Hispanic boy started yelling "Hey! It's not his fault!" but I knew it didn't matter. Once the cuffs were on they didn't come off till you were booked.

After witnessing the blonde man being arrested I continued my sprint home and walked through the front door as quietly as I could. Luckily for me my father was passed out drunk on the couch but unluckily my mother was standing at the kitchen counter with her arms crossed. Before I could even say a word she whisper-yelled "I said before dark! Now go to your room. We will talk about this in the morning!" So I made my way to my room where I threw on an oversized T-shirt and some shorts and slid into my bed. I dreaded having to get up tomorrow and right before I fell asleep, my phone buzzed. 

I picked up my phone and went to see what the Instagram notification was about. Reading the message, in my head, was "So glad that Aviva is gone now. She had the weirdest obsession with not only my boyfriend but almost every guy at our school. Imagine being a whore, couldn't be me." I figured once I moved they would leave me alone but that was before I remembered that social media was a thing. With that message in my head and knowing the "talk" I was going to have with my mom I closed my eyes and fell asleep, secretly hoping I wouldn't open them again.

-------------------------------------------------

I woke up to a loud knock on my door the next morning, I slowly contemplated on pretending to be asleep until the person who knocked walked right into my room. My mother walked in with an angry expression on her face. I knew what was about to come so I prepared best I could. "I am so mad and disappointed with you right now Av. I told you to come home before dark and you came home half an hour after!" My mother started off.

I went to explain the whole 'blonde guy getting arrested' thing but the second I opened my mouth to do so she started screaming, which I knew would wake my father up. "No if, ands ,or buts Aviva! I asked for one thing, one thing! And somehow you are so ignorant you cant even do that!" My father then walks into the room angrily and obviously hungover. "Thalia what the hell are you hollering about? Can you shut up already its only 11 in the morning and you know I like to sleep in!" In response to this my mother said, "David I'm so sorry. See Aviva! Look what you did! You woke up your father! I swear you are so inconsiderate at times. See why you need to listen? This is why. I do not want to talk to you again. Understood?" I bit back my comment about the whole arrest and just responded with ,"Understood mom. I'm sorry, I'll try harder." And with that they both left.

After all that yelling I had a headache so I decided to put my walk from yesterday to good use and go get some Advil from that mini mart. I put on white shorts with a black tank top and a jean jacket over that. I threw on my white air forces and left the house with a "I'll be back in a few minutes." As I walk past the apartment complex I hear the blonde man and Hispanic boy talking to each other. The boy was talking about having to see some guys at school and said something about wanting to learn only a few moves before he was cut off by the blonde man and told to go away. He then walked into his apartment and slammed the door, leaving the kid there looking upset. Just as I was about to continue walking the boy spots me, so instead of being rude I walk up to him so I can introduce myself. 

"Hey sorry, I didn't mean to intrude or anything!" I said to him. He responded with "Oh no worries! It's all good! I'm Miguel by the way. And you are..?" Realizing I never told him my name I said, " Oh my gosh sorry, I'm Aviva but you can call me Av if that's easier." I reached my hand out, which he met with his own for a handshake. "Well anyways, I'm heading to the mart cause I gotta grab some stuff but I'll see you around Miguel. Nice meeting you by the way!" I say as I turn away. He responds with "See you around Aviva! Have a good day!"
