Samantha LaRusso has definitely came back to school with some spunk. I wasn't going to mess with her just yet since I truthfully felt bad for her. She shouldn't of kissed Miguel but it also wasn't just her fault. It always takes two.

I seriously don't know who I am anymore. I put on this tough girl act and it works but on the inside I kind of do feel guilty for hurting people. I don't know if hawk feels like this or if he would hate me if I actually told him how I felt. Plus....I was Sensei's Kreese's first student in japan and have known him longer then any of the kids in cobra kai...He wont let me stay in cobra kai if I show anybody weakness. I don't want to be weak but I still feel slightly uncomfortable hurting people when they don't hurt me first.

"Babe.....Ophelia" Shaking coming from my shoulders snapped me out of my thoughts while sitting in science. Hawk's blue eyes met my light brown ones holding concern in them. How can be so concerned about me when he hasn't known me for longer the five months? How can he treat me so well but let me his girlfriend, his new friends and himself treat his old friends so badly?

"Are you okay? Do you want me to take you home?" Shaking my head I gave him a small tight smile, I grabbed his hands and kissed them lightly "No thanks babe. I'm okay just a little tired. is class almost over?" He returned the smile and nodded over to me before grabbing my hands in his again and we moved seats to grab the answers to the worksheet we are working on from someone. I think things are going to start changing soon. I just don't know if hawk and I can survive through it....

"Weakness is unacceptable. The fight at the school was an embarrassment. You lost soldiers and you lost the battle. But you will not lose again. Diaz was one of our own. What they did to him, they did to all of us. And it will not go unanswered. We will show no mercy. We will show no weakness.  We will strike back and we will strike hard! Is that clear?" "Yes, Sensei!"  "I cant hear you" " Yes, Sensei!" "You are all dismissed"

I stared at kreese while he looked at us for a minute before retreating back into his office. I looked around quickly before following suit to talk to kreese alone.

"Sensei Kreese can I have a word?" after getting a nod of approval I stepped in and closed the door behind me, "What do I owe this pleasure miss. Halifax" "Sensei I....I was just wounding if you knew if tory was coming back to cobra kai?" He looked at me and I could tell he knew that's not what I wanted to know.  "I am currently working to find out if she will be coming back. But I know that's not why your in here talking to me Ophelia." I looked down at the ground then looked out the office window meeting the eyes of hawk who gave me a tiny smile. "What if I want to be strong but I'm afraid someone is going to use my weakness against me? And please don't say get rid of the weakness cause I wont. He  makes me happy" I murmured to Sensei while slowly looking up to meet his hard dark eyes. After about a minute of silence kreese walked over to the blinds shutting them so I couldn't see hawk anymore.  "I am only saying this to you and only to you miss. Halifax, don't let anybody know he is  your weakness.  Believe it or not I can tell you guys are stronger together so I am telling you to protect whatever this is and do not let anybody use your weakness against you. Now go on...Hawk is waiting for you out there" Kreese gave me a small smile and it made me smile back. Kreese is definitely not one to be nice and I'm surprised he was that nice. "You ready? I think we should go get ice cream" I said and smiled at hawk while grabbing his hand. Hawk laughed at the happy expression on my face before pulling me towards his bike.

The next day came extremally fast and all I can say is I wasn't ready for it.  We had cobra kai practice in the afternoon and the atmosphere was different when we walked into the dojo. Somethings going to happen today...I can feel it in the pit of my stomach.

"Class, you worked hard today. So, before you're dismissed, I have a little treat for you...I wanna introduce you to a little friend of mine" Sensei Kreese pulled out a hamster from behind his back and almost everyone awed at the tiny creature. I on the other hand cringed. this really couldn't be good. "Cool. What's his name?" "I don't know. What should it be?" " Hawk junior" Hawk joked out from beside me.  "Bert what do you think?" "Um...Clarence?" Bert smiled up at kreese with a bright smile like kreese had actually got us a hamster as a cobra kai dojo pet. Ridiculous.

"Clarence. Good. Here, take him" Bart grabbed to rodent and I almost couldn't look.  "He's so cute, guys" everyone even sensei laughed while I just looked at my hands. "You know, its almost lunchtime" sensei said looking at Bert then at me. god I feel slightly sick. "Ooh, can I feed him?" "No. But you can feed him" Kreese said then walked over to a tank with a black cover over it. He ripped the cover off and a rattle snake started to rattle in the tank. Everyone started whispering either scared or excited. This was another test and not a lot of people were going to pass it. Hawk looked kind of stocked while Bert looked like he was about to piss himself.

"Uh...What does he like to eat?" Bert slowly walked towards the tank. Sensei Kreese smirked at us "He likes to eat...Clarence" I looked up at this with no emotion. It was the only way to pass the test. At this moment in time hawk looked shocked and so did most of cobra kai. "Its okay. Come on. Come on" kreese ushered Bert towards the tank with the hamster in his hands. "C'mon....There yah go" As the snake hissed and the hamster started squeaking I could tell Bert wasn't going to drop that innocent creature into the tank.  Now or never I guess.  "I cant" Bert himself squeaked out and kreese started to take him from his hand but stopped and made eye contact with me when I raised my fingers up a little bit. I then took a deep breath and walked over taking the hamster from Bert. He looked at me scared to which I sneered at him and dropped the little thing into the tank, hearing its last sounds before steeping back into line next to hawk.  Silence was what followed for a minute. " I understand. Clarence was your friend. Its okay to object. Who else objects?" A few of the boys behind me raised their hands while I rolled my eyes. Wouldn't they have learned by now this is a lesson and a test? "You're off the team. Get Out!" Kreese yelled out to the ones with their hands raised. "But..." Bert tried to say something before kreese interrupted him. "I said out! Get!"

Hawk and everyone was shocked to say the least. I couldn't blame them. Those are....were our friends. "Thank you Ophelia for stepping up and showing no mercy. Now you're all dismissed" I walked over to the next room where my locker was with all my stuff and leaned my head against the locker. I cant believe I just did that. But I have to protect him. And if that means doing stuff like that then I will. Hawk soon joined me and got changed before we walked out together. Kreese gave me a nod to which I returned. I have his respect and soon Ill have everyone's respect.
