Inextricable//A Cobra Kai Story

Chapter 6

At the sound of her voice Robby turned so quickly he thought he was about to fall over. He hadn't seen her since that one night that they hung out and almost kissed.

"Hi Robby." AJ grinned at him unfolding her arms and walking over to them, "New kid."

"I-I'm Kenny." Kenny introduced himself a little scared of the girl standing in front of him, and from the way Robby was glaring at her he had a feeling that she was nothing but bad news.

AJ gave him a small genuine smile, "Aubrey, but everyone calls me AJ." she sighed before continuing, "Sorry for interrupting but I saw those videos those kids posted about you online and I know what its like to be tormented like that so I feel like I have no choice but to help."

"Oh really?" Robby called out skeptically from behind her, "You can go home, I'm helping him."

"Are you? Because he hasn't made much improvement!" She looked over at Kenny who was standing there staring at her, "No offense kid, but you keep running every time he tries to teach you something."

"How long have you been watching?" Robby questioned her.

"The whole time." AJ shrugged as she looked back at him, "Why?"

Robby shook his head at her, "Seriously AJ, just go home, I don't need your help."

"Really? Because like I said kid has not made any improvement! I know it may sound shocking but I used to be just like him when I first started and now look at me three time state champ." She shot back with a glare.

"You do karate?" Kenny asked interrupting the two older kids.

AJ turned and nodded, "Yeah, I started because I was getting bullied and I hated it so I decided to do something about it."

"Maybe she should help." Kenny looked over at Robby extremely hesitant not knowing how he would react.

"Yeah Robby, maybe I should." AJ turned to face him with a cocky smirk.

"We don't need help from a traitor." Robby said glaring at AJ.

AJ scoffed and rolled her eyes, "Funny the same thing could be said about you!"

"Watch it." Robby warned her as he took a step closer to her.

AJ copied his movements not wanting to back down, "Why? Going to paralyze me next?"

"I'm thinking about it." He responded as his hand curled into a fist.

AJ glanced down at his hand with a small smirk. It was fun messing with him but she really did hope he would accept her help in teaching Kenny. Despite Robby and AJ having their own issues she felt like they could set it aside for at least an hour to help some kid getting bullied.

"Watch it Keene, you know who you're dealing with." AJ told him with light laughter.

"Guys!" Kenny interrupted before Robby could respond, "Are you going to help me or just fight each other?"

"Fighting each other looks pretty good right now." AJ called over her shoulder not breaking eye contact with Robby, "But if skater boy can drop this little snake act then we are going to help you!" she lowered her voice taking another step towards Robby, "What do you say, drop the rivalry for like an hour to help some innocent kid who's getting bullied. Because from what I've seen he needs all the help he can get, even from someone not in Cobra Kai."

Robby stared at her for a moment, nothing about her had changed. She still had the same cocky confidence, the same long curly hair, the same eyes. AJ was still the person she was back at Cobra Kai whether she realized it or not.
