Cobra Kai For Life

I was walking down the hallways at the end of the day. I rounded the corner seeing Kyler and his bozos taunting Demetri as he tried to pack up his books in his backpack. I walked straight up to them, when Kyler turned around I saw the bruise starting to form on his eye, and a bit of dry red under his nose. He stared at me for a few seconds, I saw the fear in his eyes before he dashed away with the rest of his friends.

I was about to walk up to Demetri when Yasmine walked up first. I held back, but stayed at a safe range in case I needed to give her a reminder of what Aisha did last year. She- she’s actually signing his cast, it better be something good. They talked for a minute, I couldn’t hear what they were saying, I only walked up when Yasmine walked away. Demetri’s eyes gazed after her with the dopiest grin I’ve ever seen, and I was able to get a look at his cast while he was frozen in love. It read “I love your big dick -Yas”

I instantly burst into roaring laughter. Demetri turned to me, obviously knowing what I was laughing at, giving me one of his looks.

“I happen to think it’s endearing” He assured

“Whatever you s-s-say loverboy”  I giggled, trying not to bug him too much “If she hurts you I’ll b-b-break her skull”

“Oh I know” Demetri nodded “That’s why I’m so easy going with this”

I smiled, shaking my head and wrapping an arm around Demetri’s waist, he wrapped his cast around my shoulder as we walked off to whatever class we had next. God I love my best friend.

After school, a larger group of kids than I had anticipated had shown up at the public park for karate training. Bert, Mitch, Miguel and I, and three new kids.

“This is day one” Dad paced across us “We’ve been here before, but things are different now. They tried to tear us down, It didn’t work! They said we needed a roof and four walls, screw that! This park… will be our new dojo, cause you don’t need a dojo, to be a dojo! Is that understood!”

“Yes Sensei!”

“God that f-felt good” I sighed with a smile, making Miguel chuckle beside me

“I started Cobra Kai with two nerds” Miguel and I both cringed, really dad? “This is a step up” Okay fair point “And if we’re gonna be taken seriously, we need a name, that commands respect. A name that elicits power and dominance. Cobra’s are strong. They may be the king of the jungle, but the world’s more than just a jungle… And there’s only one animal, that can kill a snake” 

“A mongoose?” Bert questioned

“A real animal Bert” Dad sighed, turning behind him to a box I wasn’t allowed to open “Welcome…. To Eagle-Fang karate” Dad held up a red shirt with a badass eagle on the front.

I couldn’t stop smiling, we had officially come up with a name that was more badass than Cobra Kai. This is absolutely insane, and everyone was smiling too, this is awesome!

“Uh, eagles don’t have fang-” Mitch was cut off by dad throwing the shirt at him, then he tossed the rest of us shirts

“Put 'em on!” Dad ordered. Every one of the boys except Mitch just put the shirt over their shirts or hoodies. I took my shirt off so I could just wear it normally “Whoa whoa whoa- aye- eyes away boys” Dad jumped in front of me before I ever had my head through the hole

“Dad, really?” I sighed

“Aye you be quiet, I know you’re newly single but I know what does through teen boys heads”

“Dad!” I shoved him away, making a point of being in only a sports bra for a few second before I put the shirt on, which went way down past my hips. Did- did I just show off my body?! Whoa…..
