•~3rd person P.O.V~•
Rachel hated herself. She deeply hated herself. She had failed to protect her friends for a second time. She stomped into the Cobra Kai dojo and quickly looked around. Who was she looking for? Hawk. That's when she spotted him. With his stupid spiky red hair and stupid smug smirk.

"Hawk." The students of Cobra Kai turned their heads as Rachel walked straight to Hawk. He felt his heart pumping in his chest. The way her eyes squinted at him, focusing all of her attention on him, and the look in her eyes could make him drop dead. It was the same way she looked at so many people she had fought before.

"Ms. Lawrence." Kreese bellowed, but Rachel didn't take her eyes off of Hawk. She simply stared up at him, she didn't speak, or do anything. The tension was thick in the air, so thick that you could cut it with a knife.

"What the hell's wrong with you?" She asked, her voice hardly above a whisper.

"I-I don't know what you're talking about." Rachel scoffed, poking her tongue in her inner cheek.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about." He did, he did know what she was talking about. Playing dumb seemed smarter than admitting what he did right to Rachel's face. "Do you think it's cool that you broke Demi's arm? Do you think it's funny?" Rachel asked she heard some of the students behind her snicker but she could deal with those guys later.

"No..." He mumbled, he hated what he had done to Demetri but everyone was cheering him on and making him feel so cool. He didn't feel cool anymore, he just felt lousy and he missed hanging out with Demetri and talking about nerd shit.

"Really?" He nodded. "Then, I guess this won't be too funny for you either." Hawk furrowed his eyebrows and started to speak, but was immediately silenced by Rachel's fist colliding with Hawk's face. He fell to the floor, blood flowing from his nose as Rachel stared down at him. Her jaw was clenched so tight that Hawk was surprised her teeth didn't break. She leaned down, coming face to face with Hawk. "If you touch Demi ever again, in a place that isn't the All Valley tournament mat, then I'll beat your ass like I did those other people. Remember all those fight videos you took? You'll be one of those people if you don't stay ten feet away from Demetri. Understood?" Hawk just stared back at her, not saying a word. Rachel grabbed his chin roughly, her fingertips pressing on his lower jawbone. "Understood?" She asked again, her voice lowered even more and even more aggressive than before.

"Understood." He answered through gritted teeth. Rachel roughly let go of his face and stood, turning to Kreese.

"You need to control your bitch ass students." Kreese merely stood there with his arms folded and stared back at Rachel.

"I do." He replied nonchalantly. Rachel scoffed.

"Apparently you and I have different definitions of control. If you don't grab them by the reins and keep them in their place, then I'll have to." Kreese shrugged.

"Your friends started a fight, my students finished it." Rachel tilted her head to the side, she'd learned from a young age that if she used big words and talked long enough then she could convince anyone of anything.

"Your students instigated it," Rachel replied. If she wanted to convince Kreese to have his students leave her friends alone, then she had to speak in a way that Kreese would understand. "How about we make a deal? If I promise to keep the Miyagi Do students from starting fights, you'll keep your students from instigating them?" Kreese thought about it for a moment.

"Deal."

"You certainly look like a big baby." Rachel smiled cheekily as she sat on her kitchen counter, sipping on a Pepsi.
