Moxies and Orendas (Miguel Diaz)

Part Seventy-Three: Canceled

Gwen stood at Miyagi-Do, listening to her father. "I know it's been awhile since our last class. After the fight at the school, I wasn't sure Miyagi-Do should stay open. But things have gotten worse since we shut down. That's why we're back. The only way to stop Cobra Kai is if we all work together. But always remember, the reason we learn karate is-"

"To show the world you're not a bunch of pansy-ass nerds! We're gonna show them that you're tough! Because Eagles don't get shit on! They're the ones that do the shitting!"

Gwen and Miguel laughed and that remark.

"But don't forget, being badass doesn't mean being an asshole. The goal isn't to hurt other kids. The goal is to-"

"Win at all costs. Those we thought to be our allies have turned against us. Now our enemies are attacking us from all sides. There is no turning back. Now is the time to show them-"

"Forgiveness. Compassion. Mr. Miyagi used to say if you're looking for revenge, you can start by digging two graves. He was right. If you have hate in your heart, then you've already lost. I know it's not easy, but you have to do whatever you can-"

"To beat the living crap out of 'em. Don't let them push you around. You gotta swoop down like a eagle, grab 'em with your claws and sink your fangs into them. But I don't ever want you to start the fight. I just want you to-"

"Finish it. For good. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes Sensei!" Gwen said, happily to her father and Johnny.

Gwen walked through school, rushing to her locker since she forgot her stuff. She accidentally ran into someone, hitting them with her bag. "Oh, shit! I'm so sorry," she said, turning around. She looked up at Miguel, and smiled. "Oh, it's just you," she laughed.

"So, are you taking back your previous apology or??"

"Eh. I've ran into enough times it's obvious I don't care any more," she spoke, shrugging. "I'm kidding. Sorry," she said, giving her boyfriend a hug.

"I still can barely believe that you're walking again. Well, I mean... I can, and I'm happy you are-"

"Okay, I get it," Gwen smiled, pushing her hand in his face. She looked at her watch, then turned back to Miguel.

"I should get to study hall," Miguel said.

"I'm actually headed that way too," Gwen answered. "Alright."

Gwen followed Miguel, as he held the door opened for her. "Thanks," she smiled. She reached down his arm, grabbing his hand, interlacing their fingers. She put her head on his shoulder, as he kissed her head.

She turned her head, looking at the corridor on the right. She saw a blonde forcefully kissing a brunette, making out. "Yasmine?"

Yasmine pushed away, showing Demetri was the one she was kissing.
