Chapter 38- A New Lesson and a Trip to the Mall

Well, a lot has happened since the whole beach club incident.  Apparently Robby's old "friends" were the ones who stole Amanda's wallet and Robby went to face them, only to get hit in the head with an oar. Of course, Daniel saved his ass. Speaking of Daniel, he now had a new student, Demetri. To say he was getting annoyed with the boy was an understatement. While Demetri was Y/N's friend, she had to admit that sometimes he was a bit...much. 

That wasn't the only new thing that happened. Johnny let Kreese become apart of Cobra Kai and neither Y/N nor Miguel were thrilled about it. Neither one of them trusted the man, no matter how much Johnny insisted that everything was going to be ok. Y/N didn't believe him. 

Y/N walked into the dojo with Miguel, the two chatting. "I don't know what it is. I just don't trust him." Y/N whispered to him. "I don't either. I also didn't like how he looks at you sometimes. Like you're some piece of meat." Miguel mumbled back, a hint of anger in his tone. "Aw look at you protecting me." Y/N teased. "Always my dear." He replied with a posh voice. Y/N giggled.

Miguel walked to the back to go change while Y/N, who was already in her gi, started stretching. "hey Y/N, can we talk?" A voice asked. Y/N looked up to see that it was Tory who had asked. "Sure, Tory. What's up?" Y/N questioned. "I-uh- wanted to apologize about the whole thing at the beach. Aisha told me Sam is like your best friend and what I did wasn't cool." Tory replied. Y/N shook her head. "You have nothing to apologize for. Sam shouldn't have accused you in the first place. While pushing her was a bit much, she still had no right to grab you." Y/N dismissed.

"So we're good?"

"Yeah, we're good."

The two girls fist-bumped each other as more students started to file into the dojo. "Alright everyone, sit in a circle. Me and Sensei Kreese are going to do some demonstrations." Johnny instructed as he and Kreese walked out of his office. The kids all complied and sat down, with Y/N finding a spot in between Aisha and Miguel who had come back from changing.

The two men got in the middle and bowed to each other before getting into their fighting positions. Both of them lunged forward, with Kreese trying to kick Johnny. Johnny, anticipating this caught his leg. "You're a little rusty, Sensei." Johnny taunted before shoving Kreese back. Kreese threw a punch but Johnny blocked it. Johnny went to throw his own punch but Kreese grabbed his arm and pulled him forward, wrapping his free arm around Johnny's throat.

"Ok, pay attention. He's got my neck, I've got his elbow." Johnny panted as he struggled against Kreese's chokehold. Y/N instinctively grabbed Miguel's hand. She knew Kreese wouldn't hurt him, at least in front of the kids he wouldn't. Well maybe he would, she couldn't be sure with the man. "If I try to break out..."

"I dig in and I put him to sleep." Kreese finished, bring the hand that was gripping Johnny's arm up to the arm around his throat, tightening his hold. "If I go for his ribs..." Johnny started, bringing his elbow back, making Kreese let go. "He completely exposes his chest." Kreese finished. "Two difficult choices. What do you do?" Johnny asked as he got back into Kreese's choke hold. Johnny's eyes darted around the students but no one answered.

Johhny brought his foot back and kicked Kreese's leg making both men fall to the ground. "You damn the consequences and you power forward," Johnny stated, getting off the ground. "You may get hurt, but nobody wins by doing nothing," Kreese added as he rose to his feet. "You make a choice. You make a move. You go...all in." Johnny stated. This statement seemed to capture Miguel's attention the most. 

Class soon came to an end and Y/N felt like she was able to breathe again. Seeing Johnny like that took a lot out of her. Why it bothered so much, she couldn't be sure. A hand landed on Y/N's shoulder making her snap out of her daze. Y/N looked up to see Miguel looking down at her. "Hey, you ok?" He asked concerned. "Yeah, yeah I'm fine." She replied distractedly. Miguel just looked at her. "Well a bunch of us are going to the mall. Wanna come?" He asked. Y/N shrugged, "Sure why not."
