Always ~Cobra Kai~

1 | New School

Maria waited at the bus stop beside her twin brother, Miguel.

"Nervous?" He asked her as the big yellow vehicle pulled around the corner.

"Nope." She replied with ease, stepping on to the bus.

Maria stared at the cafeteria in front of her, searching for her twin. She found him speaking with two boys at a table, though Miguel wasn't seated there. She walked up to his side, adding herself into the conversation.

". . . semester, at the earliest." The dark haired boy was saying when Maria arrived.

"Uh, okay," Miguel stuttered and started away with a confused look on his face.

"I'm kidding," The dark haired boy stopped the Diaz twins. "Sit."

The two took their seats, Maria ended up beside a quiet boy with a scar on his lip, and Miguel sat on her other side.

"I'm Miguel."

"Maria," She introduced herself with a smile.

"Demetri," The dark haired boy said. "This is Eli, he's a man of little words."

Maria sent a particular smile to Eli. He seemed shy, and she wanted him to know that she wasn't going to bite.

As Maria opened her milk, two girls walked into the cafeteria, getting the attention of her brother. One was blonde haired and blue eyed, carrying herself like she owned the place. The second girl had brown curly hair and blue eyes as well, though she looked a little nicer than the blonde girl.

"Dude, don't torture yourself." Demetri said go Miguel. "Those are the rich girls."

Maria watches as her brother tears his eyes away from the girls with difficulty as they sit down with a few others. "Do you ever talk to them?" Miguel inquires.

"Oh, yeah," Demetri says sarcastically. "All the time. We hang out after school, make out, give each other hand jobs. Eli here is home coming king. Gets laid more than anyone else, right Eli?" Demetri finishes with a scoff. "Talk to them? You realize what table you're sitting at, right? You pretty much signed away all chances of loosing your virginity before college."

"Well, damn," Maria counters Demetri with her own sarcasm. "I was looking to get laid in between classes, in the locker rooms, before school, after school. Thanks man. You just ruined my whole entire plan." She gives him a disapproving look.

Miguel and Eli laugh at her silliness, while Demetri rolls his eyes with a small smile.

"Oh shit," Eli said after a moment, looking over at the 'rich girls', as Demetri called them. "Yasmine's looking at us. Probably just making fun of me."

He hunched over in his seat, covering his face with his hand. "Why would they be making fun of you?" Maria asks.

She assumes that Yasmine is the blonde one that walked in a few moments ago, considering that she is looking over at them.

"Don't you see my lip?" He whispered to her, clearly ashamed.

"Oh, that?" Maria scoffs. She starts to stand up, slipping her fingers into her waistband. "I've got a gnarly scar on the back of my -"
