"Hey Jamie."
Jamie turns and instantly smiles. "Hey, Jack."
"We're still on for tonight right?"
"Yeah, of course." She says as she adjusts her bag on her shoulder
"Cool." He smiles, "I can't wait."
Jamie's smile widens as they continue to look at each other.
"Well, well, well." Jamie jumps. She turns to see Hawk standing behind her with a smirk on his face, "If it isn't the lovebirds." Jamie sighs as her shoulders drop. Hawk comes up beside her and slings his arm over her shoulders, "I must say you guys look great together."
"Thanks?" Jack says hesitantly as he smiles uncertainly
"I hate you." Jamie mumbles. Hawk pretends he doesn't hear her.
"And while I absolutely love seeing young love, we must get to class, so." He pauses as he looks over at the girl. The girl has her eyes closed in annoyance as Jack chuckles, "Jamie." She turns to him as he smiles at her, "After you?" He says as he holds out his arm towards the door.
"I will see you later." She says quickly to Jack who nods before he walks back. The girl turns back to Hawk who now has the door open. He gestures for her to enter with a smile still present.
"I literally hate you so much." She says as she enters.
Hawk feigns hurt as he walks in behind her, "I'm just being friendly Jamie."
"Whatever." She says. Miguel stands up and makes their way to them. He smiles at Jamie who smiles back before she walks away to set her bag down.
"Everybody, fall in." Johnny calls out as Jamie stands upright, "Today, we'll be learning one of the most important lessons a Cobra Kai could ever know."
"Where's Sensei Kreese?" Hawk asks
"Yeah. Shouldn't we wait for the sensei emeritus before we get going?" Stingray says. Johnny stares him down, "Or not."
"Mr. Kreese will no longer be joining us."
"Seriously?"
"I made a promise when I became your sensei. To always look out for your best interests. Despite how hard this may be for all of us, he didn't have our best interests at heart. John Kreese may have founded Cobra Kai, but he no longer represents what this dojo stands for." He nods, "His Cobra Kai was old and outdated. He refused to move forward, and what happens when we do that, Mr. Diaz?"
"You get stuck like cement." He mutters
"Exactly. To be a great fighter, you gotta learn to adapt. This creed on the wall..." He says as he turns, "Follow it to the letter, it'll make you strong. It'll make you formidable. It'll also make you an asshole. 'Cause that's just black paint on a white wall." He says as he points, "But life's not black and white. More often than not, it's gray. And it's in those gray areas where Johnny Lawrence's Cobra Kai sometimes shows mercy."
