A/N: Sooo I have writer's block for a while, have a random spurt of inspiration, have no time to write, have a small break, and now have a 10.5k word chapter for you. I'm so glad that two months later (I know, sorry) I can have a new chapter ready.
I think you'll really like how this chapter ends <3

Zion's POV
"I think you're ready to post these," Eva agrees as she hands me my phone back.
I'm going to post on Instagram for the first time in a year. A year ago, I deleted everything from my profile because of the cheating rumors, Cobra Kai hate, karate war, and more.
Now, I've gone through so much, and I'm ready to make a comeback. I want to send a message that the hell I've been in for the past year doesn't define me and that I'm still here.
I scroll through my post with pictures from tonight. Honestly, I look really hot... and really happy.
I smile, "Okay." I hit post.

Third Person POV
Meanwhile, Miguel, Robby, Mitch, and Chris are sitting together in silence on their phones.
"Wow. 'zion.ambrose posted for the first time in a while,'" Miguel reads off his phone in surprise.
"She did?" Robby perks up.
"Yeah, on Instagram. I was the first like," Mitch smirks.
Chris turns to him, "What, do you have her post notifications turned on?"
Mitch turns red and hits Chris, "Dude!"
Robby gives Mitch a questioning and slightly weirded out look before opening Instagram on his phone.
Her post is a couple of mirror selfies showing off her body and outfit, pictures with the feminicions, a couple of shots from the Valley Fest Facebook of their panel, and a real selfie.
A smile appears on Robby's face as he likes it.
"What?" Miguel wonders when he sees Robby's face.
"Nothing," Robby shrugs and stops smiling to be nonchalant.
Miguel glances at Robby's phone screen, and now he's the one to smile.
"Didn't you guys want to go on the big swings?" Robby changes the subject.
"Yeah, I ride them every year," Chris stands up excitedly.
"Wait, do we really have to?" Mitch complains. "I-I mean... cool!"

Zion's POV
As we walk back from the bathroom, I wonder how long we were gone. I changed out of my gi, Eva and I took mirror selfies, I decided to make an Instagram post, and the line to start off with was long.
