- MAEVIS -

"MAEVIS! GET DOWN HERE!" my mom yelled from downstairs. i groaned and propped myself up on my elbows. "WHAT!" i yelled back as i unplugged my phone from the charger. i waited for her response. nothing. i groan again but this time getting out of bed. i step over shoes and open my door. i see my sister, lilah, in the bathroom brushing her teeth with door wide open. i side eye her as i walk past the bathroom to the stairs and go down them to see my mom sitting on the couch, scrolling through her phone. "i was sleeping." i say to her as i walk closer. my eyes half open, a groggy look on my face. she looks up from her phone to me. "so, where'd you go last night?" she asks, tilting her head slightly. i know exactly what she's talking about. i was at a cobra kai party. and i was severely hungover. i got home at around 3:30am. "uhm.." i look around the room trying to think of something to say. "fine. i was at a party. some random kids. over by some, like canyons." i admit. my mom looks at me. "oh alright." she nods.

my mom doesn't care that much about me going to parties, she just doesn't want me lying about it. i slump over to the kitchen to get a cup of water. but my dad stands in the way slacked over searching in the fridge. "ahem.." i cough. my dad looks back at me. "oh morning mae!" he says standing all the way up to face me. i smile and nod, standing there awkwardly as i wait for him to move out the way. he just looks at me smiles, also standing there awkwardly. he then notices me staring and moves out the way. i let out a awkward laugh as i grab a bottle of water from the fridge. i take the bottle and go back upstairs. "where are you going?" i ask lilah as i see she got changed into some nice clothes. "olivia's." she responds dryly, not even looking at me as she fixes her hair in the mirror. "this early?" i say as i then stand behind her in the mirror. "it's like... 2pm?" she looks at me through the mirror, looking at me as if i'm a stranger. "oh." i then step away and back into my room.

i shut the door and flop onto my bed. i grab my phone and unlock it. i scroll through my notifications, most of them just from snapchat. i don't bother to reply to any of them. i tap through some stories, most of the photos and videos being posted are from the party. i barely remember anything so i was hoping at least one of the stories had me in it. i go through stories and see me in the back of a video. i bring the phone close to my face as i try my best to see what i was doing. i'm talking so some guy, i look pissed off. i continue watching the video until i see who i was yelling at. eli "hawk" moskowitz. i used to have no problem with him. he was a shy quiet kid. i didn't really think much of him. until he got the mohawk. gosh when he showed up to school with his black and blue mohawk for the first time, "i was like great a new kid!". but nope it was the shy, heavy sweater, eli. the boys call him lip. i never liked the stupid bullying they would make that group go through. but now, eli deserves anything that comes his way. everyone knew we hated each other. people who don't even know who we are, know that we hate each other. the first day he had the mohawk, he immediately came behind me and tried to run his mouth.

"get out the way!" hawk yells. i turn around, not knowing who's yelling at me. "excuse me eli?" i ask as i see who it is. "hawk." he says coldly as he shoves through me. walking through the hallway, getting to whatever class he had. i stumble back. once i gained composure, i glared back at him as he walked, two karate minions on either one of his arms. i look back at my friends. "does he have no decency?" i complain. they laugh and talk about his mohawk. i turn around once again and see he's out of my sight.

and that was just the first time he decided to be a dick to me for no reason at all. i turn up my volume to try and hear what i was yelling him for. all i hear is music and cheering for whatever douche is on the keg stand. i hear little mumbles of, "what the fuck?" "who do you think you are?" "go away hawk!". and i can tell that most of the words were said by me. hawk was seeing moon. moon was also my best friend, surprisingly. she was so gentle, and soft spoken. yeah sometimes she could be... stuck up, but she always had pure intentions. and that's why i don't understand why she's seeing hawk. he was the opposite. he was rough, and mean, he knew people were scared of him now, and he used it against them. which made me hate him more.

he was in cobra kai karate. i've debated on joining. just for something to do during the winter. but... hawk was in cobra kai, and i wouldn't be able to stand him for more than a hour. so i've looked into miyagi do karate. cobra kais, i guess, enemy. miyagi do was small, only two people were in it. and one of them was the sensei's daughter. samantha larusso was a friend of mine, i guess. we weren't close or anything but we had no problem with each other since we did have multiple close friends. the other student was robby keene. i didn't know who he was until last night, i don't think he went to our school. so it was a surprise to see him starting a fight with miguel diaz. miguel was friends with hawk, before and after the mohawk. he was also in cobra kai. miguel was nice, i don't really have a reason to dislike him.

at the party i was sitting over at the bonfire, talking to whoever would listen, since moon decided to kiss hawk before she'd talk to her best friend. i rolled my eyes and groaned as i looked at them kissing like it was they're last meal. i stand up and walk over to where miguel is yelling at sam for "betraying" him. i slightly stumble over to them as i'm getting more and more drunk. i then see miguel push sam to the ground. "MIGUEL!" i yell out. he turns around, slightly surprised. "what the hell are you doing?" i say walking over there as sam gets up. "maevis this is none of your business." he slurs out. he's obviously drunk, and more drunk than me. he then looks over to sam, "sam. i'm-i'm sorry, i didn't mean to." he looks at robby holding onto her arm as he helped her up, jealousy filling him. i stand behind miguel as he stares in silence.
"good luck at the tournament." sam says after saying something about cobra kai. "i wont be there." she then just walks off, robby running after her. "sam..." miguel groaned at robby gave miguel one last dirty look as he called out for her. "yeah great going diaz" i say as miguel turns fully around and deciding to look me in the eye "get out of here conrad." he rolled his eyes and waved me off.

i roll my eyes back and walk over to the fire pit. hawk and moon still going at it. "moon!" i yell out. no response. "MOON!" i yell again, but this time louder. she pulls away from hawk and looks at me, clearly annoyed, "what mae?". "have you drank at all?" i question. "no?..." she says obviously confused by the random question. "will you please~ take me home? you're my only sober friend with her license." i plea, basically begging. hawk gives me a dirty look, also mad i took moons attention away from him, i give a dirty look right back at him. before moon could respond hawk decided to say something, "maevis, clearly she's busy. so take your drunk ass somewhere else." he looks at me and flashes one of his ugly smirks. "what the fuck?" i ask stepping slightly closer, hawk standing up to meet me in the face. "you heard me, so go find someone else to bug for a ride. we don't want you here." i look at moon for some backup and she's just staring off onto whatever else was going on. "who do you think you are?" i glare back at hawk, squinting my eyes. "a guy who was getting some action before you came along." he answered, looking me up and down. "ugh just go away hawk!" i yell pushing him out the way and sitting next to moon. hawk stumbles back a bit and glares at me, pissed. "please moon!" i continue to beg. "you can come right back, i just need a ride before my mom gets mad!" i sound like a toddler at this point. hawk lets out a scoff as i beg. i turn my head slowly to look at him staring down at me, i just look at him and then back at moon. "uhm.." she laughs looking at me and hawk and then back to just me, "i mean i guess but you owe me!" she sternly says. my face lights up and force her into a tight hug, which she was not ready for. as i pull away from the hug i see hawk staring at moon, he did not want to end whatever they were doing. suddenly we hear some yells coming from across from us. aisha had fully grabbed the front of yasmines underwear and was holding her up from it. me and moon got up and shot over there, hawk following behind us. aisha looked yasmine right in the eye before she yelled,
"NO MERCY BITCH!"
