cruel summer

TROPHY

Y/n sat at her desk looking at the trophy beside her. It taunted her. She huffed as she stood up and changed her clothes. She grabbed the trophy and keys leaving the house. She drove to the Cobra Kai dojo.

She managed to sneak in as some new students left.
"Silver, I need to talk to you" Y/n spoke out. Terry was tying up his belt "LaRusso, glad you're back. What's on your mind?" He looked up at Y/n. "Excited to take things up to the next level?" He asked "what's the point? You'll just pay to make me the champion again" Y/n replied.

"So you know about the ref." Silver nodded slightly looking to his side "have you told anyone else?" He asked. "What if I did? " she said. "Well, then we might have a problem" Silver replied.

Y/n furrowed her eyebrows at the sliver-haired man "So you don't deny it?" The h/c tilted her head "not at all" Silver shook his head. "I paid him off to make sure Cobra Kai won." Silver claimed "it was an insurance policy. You still won the fight"

"Did I?" Y/n asked in disbelief "of course you did. You're a champion. I know it." Terry answered "Your sister knows it. The whole Valley knows it. If you don't believe it, you're the only person who doesn't"

"What am I supposed to do? Go back to normal? Act like nothing happened?" Y/n responded. "Look. What I know is how to use every advantage to ensure victory," said Silver. "You mean cheating?" Y/n gripped the trophy in her hand. "The tournament was a matter of Cobra Kai's survival. If a person steals food to survive, are they cheating?" The gray-haired man asked. "Or are they doing what must be done?"

"I want you to be here. I want you to be you. If you choose to leave, I won't hold it against you. But if you come back tomorrow, I will make you the future of this dojo." Silver stared into Y/n's eyes. "The decision is yours. Also, I don't suggest you tell anyone." He finished before walking away.

Y/n bit the inside of her cheek shaking her head at the older man. She gripped the trophy hard as she made her way up to the trophy rack. Placing it in its spot Y/n grimaced at it. She just wanted to smash it on the ground and destroy it into pieces. She turned on her heel and walked out.

Y/n walked into the house and made her way up to her room nearly bumping into Sam, who happened to be all dressed up. Sam simply pushed past her making her way to the kitchen. From his bedroom, Anthony walked down the stairs "where is she going?" The e/c girl asked "Brunch with Moon and Yasmine" Anthony replied.

"Did they say anything about me?" Y/n asked "Nope" Anthony replied and made his way to the living room. Y/n pursed her lips as she made her way back into her room.

A ding from her phone made her stop.

From Demetri 🧙🏻‍♂️: wanna come with me to get Eli's tattoo covered? If you're not busy

Y/n replied.
From Y/n 💙 : yeah totally :)

With that, she was out of her room once more and back in her car.

Y/n arrived at the tattoo parlor. Waiting for her was Demetri, Eli, and Miguel. She was obviously worried sick because he left so suddenly but she didn't know if they were still on bad terms. She exited her car and closed it as she approached the three. "Hey" Y/n held Demetri's hand and waved at Eli. Miguel watched the female.

"Hey" Miguel and Y/n greeted at the same time. Y/n glanced away before they all entered the shop. Eli walked to the front desk and then went to one of the tattoo chairs. A woman grabbed her supplies and got started on Eli.

Y/n sat in between Miguel and Demetri in the waiting area. Y/n fiddled with Demetri's hand "just say something" Demetri whispered in her ear "what the hell do I say? I beat your girlfriend aka my sister, at the tournament and I'm the reason there's no more Eagle Fang or Miyagi-Do" y/n whispered back.
