y/n had always been in love with eli moskowitz ever since she spotted the boy with soft brown hair and pretty blue eyes that she knew were always staring at her when she wasn't looking. slowly she had gained the shy boys trust and became his best friend along with demetri.

it wasn't easy being friends with eli and demetri when they were both constantly being picked on, which meant by association you were also the victim of other students taunting you — none of them understood how you went from being one of the popular students to hanging out with them.

you were tired of being 'popular' it didn't have any real advantages in life and if other students knew just how amazing and smart eli and demetri were then they'd understand why you loved hanging out with them.

everything was perfect until miguel turned up, he became the fourth member of your group but as soon as he started doing karate and eli followed suit, you started noticing that he wasn't the same.

weeks passed and soon eli was unrecognisable, he had a mohawk, new clothes and a whole new confidence you'd never seen on him. before long it was just you and demetri left eating lunch alone together whilst 'hawk' was hanging out with his new karate friends.

weeks became months, and months soon became a year. the second all valley was approaching and tensions were high.

everything in your life seemed to have changed, demetri had joined hawk in miyagi-fang, the combined dojo's to defeat cobra kai. you'd witnessed all of the drama on the sidelines over the year, but it never really interested you until a few months before the tournament and you were walking through the cafeteria with your lunch tray.

despite the fact he had changed since he joined miyagi-fang there was still some anger left inside of him, and when he was showing off to his friends he spotted you and that anger boiled over.

when you walked past him to find a table he knocks your tray out of your hands, "oops, my bad, my hand slipped." he shrugged before turning back to his friends, most of them were laughing apart from sam, miguel and demetri.

"what happened to you, eli?" you snap, after not talking to him for almost a year it was strange being face to face with him again.

"who's eli?" his lip twitches with anger, "i'm hawk." he spits which makes you flinch.

"this isn't you." you say, stepping back.

he closes the distance between you, his nostrils flaring with anger and his baby blue eyes no longer comforting — instead they were filled with hatred and rage, "eli is gone. if you knew what was good for you, you'd go too."

"i hate you." you say back, so quiet that only he can hear before you walk away from him.

you didn't see the hurt look pass over his face which he quickly disguised into disgust as he turned back to his friends, "who does she think she is?" he rolled his eyes.

"she was your best friend once, you know." demetri mumbled.

hawk glared at him, "i know." was all he said, the truth was you were more than just his best friend, he'd been in love with you since he first saw you on the very first day of school.

a part of him had always loved you, but he didn't know how to express it and now it was too late, he'd pushed you away.

you were angry, so angry that you decided to do something you swore you'd never do.
