At lunch, I get my food and sit down with my usual lot, and to my surprise Hawk has actually rejected Mitch off of the Cobra Kai table, I groan and call
"Mitch, over here!" He looks over and smiles, he walks over to me and sits down
"Thank you." I nod
"Of course, you're my friend. Plus, Hawks being a dick." Mitch chuckles a bit
"That seems to be his usual now." I nod lightly
"Yeah, it does." I could feel how much hate was radiating off of Hawk, probably because I invited Mitch over and never bat and eyelid at him, I then see Miguel come in, I can see how annoyed he is at Hawk, I'm guessing Demetri finally told him, I was watching closely to see there reactions, until I hear Kyler
"Hey, guys. Check this guy out. Standing around with a dick in his hand." He holds up Demetri casted hand, everyone laughs, I then watch Demetri walk off, I stand up, pace up to Kyler and shove him
"Pick on someone your own size, Kyler." He chuckles lightly
"Aww, look, it's Hawk's little play thing." I feel the anger rise inside me, I tense my hands and try to keep it all back, he gets closer to me
"Are you seriously thinking about getting back with him?" I let a deep breath go and look at him
"You know what, Kyler. I've had enough of your shit." He gets even closer to me
"Yeah? And what are you going to do about that, Princess." I chuckle
"Oh, you really wanna know." I back off a little, he ducks a bit and pulls a face
"Oh, no. Don't hurt me." He fake cries then laughs, I smile and go straight into a 540 round kick, I strike him straight in the head. He hits the floor instantly and groans, everyone oohs, I stand over him with my foot on his back
"How's that for a Princess?" Soon the whole canteen is cheering, I leave and soon Miguel catches me up
"Why did you do that?" I scoff
"Please, he's been a childhood tormentor for years, the amount of shit he gave me, Eli and Demetri and still gives me and Demetri, he deserves it." Miguel soon chuckles
"Had to do your signature kick?" I chuckle lightly
"Of course." He then realises something
"Shoot, I've got to go do something, meet you in class?" I nod
"Yeah, sure." He smiles and goes off, so for about five minutes I wander around the halls, until I stop at Hawks group and- dad turns up?
"Ok, listen up!" Him and Miguel look at the group, dad continues
"I screwed up. And I'm sorry. I made it about me. And that's not what a Sensei does. I took the easy way out. I gave up. What happened here at this school... it rocked me to my core. I couldn't look myself in the eye, let alone face all of you." Hawk replies
"Yeah. I guess it makes it easier to tell yourself that. But the truth is, you bailed on us long before that fight happened. You got soft. And we paid the price." Dad walks over and gets in his face
"Now, you listen up. When you came into my dojo, you were softer than a baby's ass. I made you what you are, not Kreese. He doesn't give a shit about you. About any of you." He backs off again to look at them all
"So if you wanna keep whining about the past like a bunch of pussies, fine. We can play that game. Wanna stick with Kreese? Go ahead. Don't say I didn't want you when your life ends up in the shitter. Or you could sack up and join my dojo. Havenhurst and Magnolia, tomorrow at 4:00. If you wanna save yourselves, train the right way... you better be there." He walks off and yells back
