The one that stayed - Miguel Diaz

S2.1

"So you might be wondering what a team does after they win the championship. The answer?Victory nachos! It was supposed to be a round of drinks, but the waitress was not feeling Hawk's fake ID."

"Hey, don't talk about that. My parents follow you." hawk said worriedly

"Sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Moskowitz. Anyways, until next time, no mercy, bitches."

I was at a victory party with the team i didnt even want to be here. I was just sitting alone at another booth on my phone. I didnt even feel apart of this team anymore"

"I gotta say, it's nice to be at a victory party." Demetri said grabbing a nacho going to eat it

"Yeah, except you had nothing to do with the victory." hawk took the nacho from him and ate it 

"Well, then I consider it a belated party for the coding competition we won at computer camp. Remember?"

"Cool it with the nerd shit, huh?"

"Hey, where's Miguel? His wings are getting cold." Aisha questioned

"hey guys im going to go" I said tiredly

"are you okay" moon said grabbing my hand to stop me when i got outside

"yeah just didnt want to be there"

"it's your win more than anyone else's in there you should be there to celebrate what you and your team worked so hard to achieve" she said softly trying to convince me to go back inside

"its not a win if that win wasnt achieved the right way.' i said getting out of her grip and going to my car heading back to the house.

"Quiet! The dojo's closed to new students today." sensei said.

"We just wanted to sign up after we saw the tournament."

"Do I need to say it again? Get out."

"Yes, sir. Sensei. Come on, let's go." the boy stuttered and walked out with everyone else, I just kept  quiet

"Let's go, move it. Come back tomorrow. And bring your checkbooks. Everyone, fall in."

"Must've been a rager, Sensei." Miguel said

"Yeah, were you celebrating all weekend?" Hawk added

"Celebrating what? My students are a bunch of pussies. Diaz, Hawk, up front. Hawk. Did you attack your opponent when his back was turned?"

"Yes, Sensei."

"Diaz. Did you purposely attack your opponent's injury?"

"Yes, Sensei."

"You think that makes you badass? What's the matter, too tough a question? Maybe you need some help. Ms.LaRusso."

"Yes, Sensei." is aid confidently

"Two cobras in the jungle. One kills the strongest lion. The other kills a crippled monkey. Which cobra do you wanna be?"

"The one that kills the lion, Sensei."

"And why is that?"

"Because it killed a stronger animal."

"Correct. Cobra Kai is about being badass. And the baddest badass is the one who beats his opponent when he's at his strongest. Not when his back is turned, not when he's injured. Is that understood?"

"Yes, Sensei."

"That means no more cheating. No more fighting dirty. From here on out, those are pussy moves, and you don't wanna be pussies, do you?"
