      Odessa wasn't an angry person. It took a lot to be able to light a fire inside her. Her mother raised her to be a forgiving person and to always see the good in people. That's how her parents raised her. That's what people loved about her. They loved her heart. Anger was an emotion she tried avoiding. But she couldn't avoid this. No matter how hard she tried her mind couldn't shake the thought of Robby and his friends attacking Eli, striping away his identity and source of confidence. It felt personal. Eli was one of the most important people to her and for her loved ones, she would climb mountains for them no matter how hard the journey was. And now, the sweet and innocent was gone and a fire had lit inside her.

She swung open the door of the Cobra Kai dojo. Everyone's eyes turned to her and Kreess stopped talking. "Miss Beaumont,  we're in the middle—"

Her scornful blue eyes spotted who she was looking for and she ignored Kreese. She stormed on the mat. Robby looked at her. "Odessa, what are you—"

He was interrupted by her giving him a powerful shove backwards. Everyone look a step back, feeling startled.  "Hey,  what's your problem?" Said Kyler.

She sent him the harshest glare she could produce. He immediately stepped back and shut his mouth. She looked back at Robby and shoved him again. "What the hell is wrong with you, huh?"

"What are—"

"Are you that pissed off at me that you had to take your anger out on someone else? Or do you hate Eli that much and that was your revenge?"

They immediately knew she was talking about what they did to Eli. Robby and Tory's eyes caught each others before he looked back at her. "We did what we had to do." He stated firmly.

Her eyes filled with frustrated tears and she threw her hands up. "Had to do what? Prove that your even more of an asshole? Prove that you're all a bunch of bullies? And for what? For this?" She waved her hands around the dojo.Everyone stood there silently and listened,  including Kreese and Silver. She glared at Robby again and pointed to Kyler and Tory. "You know, I expected this from them. But you? For some reason in my stupid little head I believed that there was still a part of you that was good. That loved and cared about me enough to back off and leave me and my friends alone until the tournament. But I was wrong, wan't I?" She let out all at once. All she felt was hurt and betrayal.

Robby stayed quiet, not daring to say anything. He shoulders moved up and down as he breathed heavily.  All eyes were on them, his friends standing close by.  She stepped closer to him and pointed a finger in his face. "You of all people should know what it feels like to feel lonely and like the whole world is against you.  That's what you told me, right? That all your life people have let you down? What do you think he's been through his entire fucking life?  It's not just about his hair. You stripped away his identity, his source of self esteem, and the one thing he's never had in his whole life because assholes like you—" she looked at Kyler. "Have made him feel hopeless. And you know what? You don't know him like I do. He's a amazing person and all you've did is destroy him!"  She shouted at the end.
