THE SUMMER WAS drawing to a close, and Alyssa could confidently say that it was the most disastrous summer of her life.

Sure, she had gotten back into karate and was actually getting really good at it, made new friends that truly reminded her that she wasn't alone (Sam, of course, at the top of her list), bonded even more with Demetri, and turned seventeen, but the most pivotal moment of her summer was one that wasn't exactly the best. That argument with Hawk outside of Cobra Kai where all of the years of the friendship they had built came tumbling down had turned Alyssa's summer into an absolute shitshow, and she was still reeling from the effects of it.

Going back to school meant seeing Hawk for the first time since their fight and him destroying the dojo, and even though she was strong, she knew that he was her one weakness, whether or not she liked to admit it. She was mentally preparing herself for when that day would come, because right now, she wasn't exactly sure if she would handle it well.

Alyssa laid on her stomach on her bed, her laptop opened in front of her. She was currently on FaceTime with Sam and Moon, and Sam was in the midst of telling them about how her date with Robby had gone. The two had went to the roller rink for eighties night, only for it to be the place where Miguel's new girlfriend, Tory, worked. Miguel showed up and tried to talk things out with Sam, but then Tory knocked Sam over as she skated by, and Sam attacked back. In short, the date did not go well.

"And then we got kicked out of the roller rink," Sam finished.

"Miguel never told me he had a new girlfriend," Alyssa replied, slightly frowning. "I'm sorry, Sammy, she shouldn't have done that to you."

"I just don't understand what Miguel sees in her."

"Well, at least you both moved on, right?" Moon asked.

Sam sighed. "Yeah."

"Hey, why don't you two come over later? My mom's out of town. You can bring your karate friends."

"You're throwing a party?"

"Yeah," Moon answered with a giggle. "It should be wild."
