Y/N sat in his car. Darkness surrounded him. He watched troves of people walk down the pavement behind him. He watched the restaurant sidewalk patiently. Eventually, out walked the exact girl he was waiting for. 

He watched her walk over to him, a wide smile on his face. He rolls down the window to meet her in a kiss. She slowly walked around the car, running her hand over the bonnet as she did so.

"So, work all good?" He asked, and Tory gave him a nod. "And Miguel?"

"What about him?" Tory replied slightly surprised. 

"Well... why was he there?" He questions, holding an inquisitory eyebrow.

"I don't know..." Tory let out a sigh before laying her head back. "Something about Johnny. Didn't really listen. Anyway, Ive got tomorrow off if there is something you had in mind." 

"Ah, sorry. Tomorrow's my first day back in school, remember?" Y/N told her. 

"Oh yeah..." Tory frowned. 

"When I get out, though, I'll come over and pick you up. I promise." Y/N planted a kiss on her head. 


Y/N sat with Hawk. By this point, it had been a few weeks since he returned to school. He looked out at the hallway, looking at the large 'Welcome Back, Miguel' sign. He rolled his eyes.

"What about you, Y/N?" Hawk suddenly asked him, and Y/N was pulled from his thoughts.

"Wha-what was that?" Y/N blurted out. 

"Miguel, You emailed for him to comeback. With me, you, and Miguel, we'll be unstoppable." Hawk told him proudly, and Y/N shrugged it off. 

"I don't know. Let's not forget. It was Miguel who showed Robbie mercy in the first place." Y/N sent back. Hawk looked slightly shocked. 

"Come on, dude. We all know who's fault that was." Hawk retaliated.

"And guess who Miguel is still hanging around?" Y/N questioned, and Hawk gave him a small nod. 

"Anyways, Im going to go meet him at the door. You comin?" Hawk stepped out of his chair, and Y/N shook his head. 


Hawk returned not long after, sitting down opposite Y/N. Slowly, overwalked Mitch, dlowly following behind. Hawk quickly put his foot onto the open seat. 

"Sorry, parties full." He joked before Mitch gave him a disheartened look. 

"Where am I supposed to sit?" Mitch looks at the other taken seats. 

"At the rejects table.Over there." Hawk told him, As Mitch looked over at Bert's table. He let out a sigh before making his way to the seat. 

Suddenly, Miguel walked in, his face painted with anger. 

"Hey, hey man." Hawk greeted me, but Miguel got straight to the point. 

"I heard about what happened with Demetri. How could you do that?" Miguel interigated Hawk. 

"You should be thanking me for getting revenge on Miyagi-do. Besides, they were the ones who started the fight; we finished it."  Hawk got into Miguel's face. 

"That's not what our sensei taught us," Miguel replied. 

"Our sensei? You mean the one who left me in a hospital bed? While he played Father to you," Y/N asked from the opposite side of the table. 

"What did you say?" Miguel turned on his heels to look at Y/N. 

"You heard exactly what I said. Why are you looking for a fight? I doubt you can kick a soccer ball." Y/N stood up from his seat, slowly walking over to Miguel. (Im sorry, fellow Englishmen.)

"After everything Sensei Lawrence did for you, you betrayed him?" Miguel turned back to Hawk. 

"He betrayed us." Hawk responded.

"Look, this isn't you talking. It's Kreese; He's got in your head; Your's as well, Y/N." Miguel dropped his anger. "You can change that if you leave Cobra Kai and join Sensei Lawrence's new dojo. If you two come, others will follow. Ok? we can show everyone We're not a bunch of bullies. It could be like before." 

"And will we have to play second fiddle to you again?" Y/N added.

"You know Tory deserves so much better than you." Miguel spoke before thinking. 

"The fu-" Y/N went to leap at Miguel, but Hawk stopped him. "See you at the dojo, dude." 


Hawk and Y/N looked around the park. 

"Hey, Hey. Over there..." Y/N whispered. They both walked up to the group in red shirts. 

Hawk stared at Johnny while Y/N was fixated on Miguel. From behind them, Tory and Kyler walked. Miguel's eyes softened as he saw Tory. 

Then Kreese and the rest of the Cobra Kai made their way from behind the trees. 

"I told you, Cobra Kai, for life." Hawk told Johnny. While Y/N stayed silent, simply letting out a smirk and putting his arm around Tory. Kreese and Johnny began speaking; Y/N couldn't hear much until Johnny began shouting. As Miguel stepped up to Johnny, so did Y/N. 

"This is it, Johnny. There's not going to be another chance." Kreese told the other sensei. 

"Good," Johnny replied. 

"You made you're choice, and you are going to regret it." With that Kreese and the other Cobra Kai's left. 


The clock, Slowly hits Quarter past 5 as Y/N lets out a sigh of relief. Tory will be out any second. 

"Hey, Er... I'm Robby Keane."  Y/N quickly turns to look at Robby. He looks tired. Y/N thinks about confronting him, but he doesn't. Keeping his head down. Suddenly, the door opens, and Y/N sees Tory walking out. 

He steps up to walk over to her but Robby gets in his face. 

"Go ahead. They'll send you both back to Juvie." Tory tells Robby, "Looks like we're all in the same boat." 

"Thanks to you for starting the fight." Robby quickly responds. 

"And you for finishing it." Tory grabs a hold of Y/N's hand and says, "It's not fair, you know. Everyone else got to go back to normal but here we are eating shit... Because your g-" 

"Don't talk about Sam." Robby demands.

"She tried to cheat on you. If it wasn-" Tory was once again cut off. 

"She made a mistake. Sam is a good person." Robby continued defending her. 

"Yeah, Sure seemed like that when she played me, you, and even Miguel. Just wait; she'll turn on you. Just like me and Miguel." Y/N told him. 

"You don't know what you're talking about." Robby told Y/N. 

"Don't I? From where I'm standing, we are the exact same, except I can absolutely land a legal kick." Y/N spat back. Y/N and Tory went to leave. 

"Y/N," Robby began. Both Tory and Y/N turned to look at him." I am sorry. For what happened?" 

"I know." Y/N nodded. 

"And by the way, on the section about homelife, just tick off stable; they don't care; they never come to check." Tory informs him. Y/N and Tory walk back out still hand-in-hand.
