And that's the way I loved you"

season 1, episode 3 "esqueleto"
The ride to the school was short, and their sensei kept telling them to try and recruit whoever they could to the dojo. Cat sat in the backseat while Miguel sat in the front seat, right when they pulled up to the front of the school, the twins thanked Johnny and walked inside.
The fog and loud electric pop surrounded them as they looked around the gym, Miguel spotting Demetri and Eli across the way, nudging his sister to follow him. It took both boys a second to recognize that Miguel was the skeleton but noticed once they saw Cat next to him.
"Oh, skeleton. Classic. And what are you a 15th century princess?" Demetri said looking over at Cat who let out an offended gasp.
"I am obviously 1968 Juliet. And what are you supposed to be a sorcerer or something?" The girl asked looking over his outfit.
"Sorcerer? Please. I'm a necromancer. I'm honestly disappointed that you didn't see the amulet?" The boy scolded the girl, who was honestly disappointed in herself for not realizing it.
"So are you a regular doctor or--" Miguel asked Eli, who was quick to respond. "Plastic surgeon. I fix lips."
"Nice." Miguel said simply, "very cool," Cat agreed. The three hung out for a little while just standing around until Cat saw Aisha standing by herself, Cat had a few classes with the girl and felt bad that she was alone, and Cat was in desperate need of female companionship.
"I'll be right back I'm going to go talk to Aisha," the girl told the boys, who nodded in response. "I'm going to show them the Cobra Kai flyers really quick, we can meet near the punch table once you're done," Miguel told the girl who gave them a thumbs up and giving one last glance to Eli before turning to go talk to Aisha.
Cat tapped the girls shoulder as she reached up to her, Aisha slowly turned like she was expecting the worse, and seemed to relax when she saw it was just Cat.
"Hey Aisha, I'm Cat we have Stats together," Cat introduced herself. Aisha smiled at her, "Yeah, I know who you are, word spreads pretty quickly when there's a pretty new girl." Aisha said making Cat blush and slightly laugh.
"I can promise you I am definitely not interesting enough fro people to be talking about me still," this made Aisha laugh. Before the girl could respond Sam walked towards the duo.
"Hi," she said timidly, Cat had never talked to Sam before but she could feel the tension between her and Aisha. Cat just gave the girl a shy wave as Aisha returned the "hey."
"I like your costume, and yours too Cat, you totally pull off Juliet." Sam complimented making the girl light up, finally someone understood her reference.
"Thanks Sam, you're totally the hottest laker girl i've seen." Cat responded genuinely. Sam gave her a smile blushing a bit.
"Thanks. Ditto. It doesn't really work without the chloride," Aisha trailed off, the tension in the air coming back.
"I don't know sodium's pretty badass. It's the silent killer," Same joked making all three girls laugh.
"Hey, look I..." Sam started before Aisha cut her off, "It's OK. I'd rather go as sexy than funny too, if I had that option." "Don't say that," Sam quickly tried to reassure, before someone called out her name.
"Get your ass over here," Yasmine shouted at the girl, "Cat you could join us too if you wanted," she said as she noticed the girl next to Sam. "One second," Sam said at the same time Cat said "I'd rather not."
"Well this has been a great chat but I'm going to go now before Yasmine tries to talk to me again, it was lovely meeting you both," Cat said as she walked away and headed to the drinks table like her and her friends planned on, and sighed in relief that the boys were already their slurping on their drinks.
The three boys noticed her and smiled, well she's assuming Eli smiled. "Hey Cat, we were just about to ask the dragon queens to dance, you should probably ask someone too so you're not alone here." Miguel said making it painfully obvious that he was setting her up to ask Eli to dance. The girl nodded sharply and gave him a pointed look.
"Slow down we have time," Demetri said right as one of the girls went off to dance with someone else. "Shit. We lost one to Doctor who," Miguel said in defeat.
The girl had her eyes set on Eli and saw him look at her nervously, this was her chance she was just going to rip the bandaid off and ask him to dance. Before the girl could over think anything she blurted "Do you maybe want to dance with me Eli?"
She saw Miguel smile widely next to Eli, giving her a thumbs up, while Demetri looked completely shocked. Eli, on the other hand, looked like a deer in headlights at the girl, not answering her and making her want to curl up and die.
"I uhm, actually have to go to the bathroom," Eli quickly said as he turned and made his way out the gym. The girl stood in shock for a moment before looking over at Miguel and Demetri giving her sympathetic looks. She tucked her hair behind both her ears and excused herself.
As the girl was on her way outside the gym and into a far hallway the girl got a notification on her phone, a post from Yasmine making fun of Aisha. The girl scoffed and immediately blocked Yasmine's account, she did not need that in her life. As the girl sat on the hallway floor, she felt herself start to tear up, but she refused to let the tears fall especially over a boy.
Only a couple minutes passed before she heard footsteps running down the hallway she was in, she stood up and saw Eli and Demetri running at her, the two looking relieved when they saw the girl.
"What the hell happened to you guys?" The girl questioned as the boys stopped i front of her trying to catch their breaths.
"Kyler... your brother... bathroom. He's probably dead, we had to save ourselves." Demetri finally let out, the girl reacted quickly and ran towards the direction the boys ran from. She had no clue where this bathroom was and was just following pure instinct, as she was about to keep running she saw Sensei Lawrence coming out the bathroom carrying her brother. The girl gasped a the sight, stopping in her tracks.
"Is he...?" The girl asked, this time she let her tears fall freely.
"He's fine kid, a bit beat up. Come on let's get you both home." Her sensei said, as he walked towards the exit the girl following blindly. Grateful her brother was okay, she doesn't know what she'd do if he hadn't been.

mid way writing this chapter i remembered that miguel and robby become brothers and it is ruining the ideas i had for this book, it's fine. Just know the robby x cat love story will be shorter and less heartbreaking than I initially planned for it so you guys got lucky.
