IT WAS THE NEXT DAY AND ELI HAD MENTIONED TO EDEN THAT HE WOULD BE LATE TO THEIR KARATE CLASS, he never really mentioned why he would be late but eden was just happy he was coming back to the dojo.

Johnny had them all face front in their according rows. eden, miguel, and aisha being in the first row since they were his first students. Johnny had just walked out of his office looking around seeing familiar faces and a couple of new ones.

"three more absences, sensei." Miguel said putting his head down. aisha who had her hands behind her back spoke up, "bunch of pussies." she added. it looked like she was getting the hang of johnny's vocabulary just well.

"no, its my fault." he slowly walked across the rows examining, "since you joined cobra kai, I have been hard on you. I've called you names. I've humiliated you, some of you I've hit. and for that, I don't apologize." eden wasn't very shocked at the last part, "cobra kai is about strength. if you're not strong on the inside, you can't be strong on the outside."

"and right now, you're all weak. and I know that because I was you." he pointed towards his students who listened to his speech. "I used to have no friends. used to be the weirdo kid." he gestured to a small kid with blond hair and glasses.

"not that weird. I hooked up with babes and all, but..the point is, I wasn't always the badass sensei I am today." eden made a disgusted face knowing about her uncle's past relationships, "just like a cobra, I had to shed my loser skin to find my true power."

"and you guys will too." just then the door's bell ringed, "welcome to cobra kai." everyone turned their head to see a boy with a mohawk, but it wasn't just any boy it was eli. eden smiled towards her friend in which he returned. "Eli, what happened?" Miguel questioned.

"im flipping the script." he stated looking proud. Johnny turned confused, "wait. are you the kid with the lip?" Eli nodded giving him a smirk, "nice cut, bro."

Johnny pointed towards Eli who was by the door, "you see that? doesn't matter if you're a loser or a nerd or a freak. all that matters is that you become badass." Johnny looked very proud at the boy.

"hawk. fall in." the boy quickly took his shows off and stepped on the mat standing beside eden who gave him smirk, "love the hair."

"thanks." Eli said.

"fear does not exist in this dojo, does it?" he questioned Eli. "no sensei!" he walked over to eden asking her yet another question. "pain does not exist in this dojo, does it?" she was quick to answer, "no, sensei."

next was Miguel, "defeat does not exist in this dojo, does it?" in which he replied, "no, sensei." Johnny made his way to the front of the class facing the same direction. "class, are you ready to learn the way of the fist?"

"yes, sensei!" they all yelled in sync.

THE LAST SCHOOL BELL RINGED INDICATING THAT SCHOOL WAS NOW OVER FOR THE DAY, eden made her way to her locker to grab a history book that she needed for her homework tonight. on her way there she saw miguel standing beside her locker a bit nervously, "you okay? you look a bit scared." eden opened her lcoker combination grabbing her history book.

"oh, i didnt even realize this was your locker." eden furrowed her brows, "you just saw me get my history book, but yeah its my locker." she stated the obvious. "always, uh..glad i ran into you." she nodded making him proceed along.

"um, ive been thinking about you a lot lately." eden was suprised that the boy she had been crushing on for a bit has been think about her, miguel was fidgting with his hands. "i mean, not "a lot" a lot. just the normal amount that someone would think about someone else."

"miguel, are you sure you okay? did Eli hit you in the head during practice?" she laughed. "yeah, im fine. umm.. i mean, i was. do you wanna go on a date with me?" miguel nervously asked.

her heart fluttered with a mix of excitement, with a bright smile eden looked into his eyes and said, "yes, i'd love to." her response was filled with happiness. miguel's face lit up with joy, "great!"

"what about tonight?" he asked waiting for her answer. "pick me up at 8."

"yeah! totally! ok." the boy walked away for a second before coming back, eden turned her head. "i have a bike." 

"well, i don't drive." the two looked devastated, "if you're okay with it my brother could take us." miguel was quick to nod. "yeah, thats great. i'll see you at 8!" he waved at her walking the other direction, eden smiled at the boys actions.

eden made her way to the school's exit door, she say atticus waiting for her in the car. she speed walk to the car getting inside and putting her seatbelt on. "about time, i was about to leave you." he sighed as he started to drive off.

"i need a huge favor." she burst out, atticus was a bit worried for what was about to come out of her mouth, "now what?"

"i have a date with Miguel today, and i was wondering if you could drive us there." atticus let out a laugh, "he wanted a date with you?" he joked. eden hit his shoulder, "dont be a jackass! please i'll do your laundry for a week." he smirked.

"that and you do my chores for the week, then you got yourself a deal." she was debating if she should agree or not, but this was her only hope to go on a date with Miguel. "fine, you got yourself a deal." her smile dropped

"great, i'll have that list of chores ready for you by tomorrow." he put the volume up to his music as he continued to drive home.
