The Serpent Queen

The Right Path | Part Two

Finally making it to school and before lunch began, Phoebe walked down the corridor that had been the hallway hellscape during the fight.

She stared at the dent in the locker that she made while swinging the bat at Kayla. She followed the hallway and ended up in the foyer where a teacher was attacked, Hawk chased after Demetri, and later on where he got kicked into the trophy case. She walked up the staircase to where she fought Kayla, Sam and Tory fought, along with Robby and Miguel. Then, she turned her head to where the two boys finished their fight, then the two girls, and she finished it by leaning against the railing. Just behind her was the spot where she went full Cobra Kai on Kayla.

"What are you doing?" Yasmine asked, appearing out of nowhere behind her to lean against the railing as well.

"Retracing my steps from the fight. It ended here for me."

"You remember?"

"Yeah, I do. I can't get Miguel falling out of my head." Phoebe gazed over across the way to the same railing where Johnny's son kicked one of his best students.

"You know, you could need closure." The blonde rich girl suggested.

"I just came from the hospital and talked to Miguel."

"I don't mean about him. I mean about the psycho bitch."

"Kayla?"

"She did try and kill you several times, right? It has to cause you some trauma, and she's now in juivie heading to jail soon. While you can, go show her that she didn't beat you, that you are standing strong unaffected by her attack. Get some closure and rub it all in her face. You need it."

Phoebe took what she said in. It was pretty good advice even from Yasmine's mouth.

"Come on. Lunch is starting in a few minutes."

—————————————————————

Phoebe set her lunch tray down on the table and sat beside Moon at the new cool table that wasn't filled with Cobra Kais, as they were the other cool table in the cafeteria. Glancing up across the table, she noticed she sat opposite Yasmine. Another cheerleader sat at the table talking to another one.

"Hey."

"Hey. You missed your classes." Moon said.

Phoebe shrugged, "Oh well."

"You better not miss practice later."

"I won't, and I know you'll make sure I won't."

"You're with me during practice anyway."

Phoebe glanced over to the Cobra table and the boys all crowded around it either standing or sitting while eating or talking. Hawk was doing neither. He kicked a soccer ball trying to keep a count on how many times he could kick it without breaking his combo. He was actually wearing a different colour today over than black. Grey wasn't that different, but it was something. He had a grey hoodie on with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, black shorts with a white checked pattern on the side which went down to his knees, and black sneakers. The lack of red in his clothing made the red mohawk stand out even more.

"He's moved on from ignoring you to now trying to openly impress you." Yasmine commented watching him for a few seconds.

"Well, duh. He's her boyfriend." Moon whispered.

Phoebe looked over to him again and gave him a small smile, "Exactly. He doesn't need to impress me." That was true. He always looked handsome and smelt good to her.

"I'm sure the sex definitely does."

Phoebe nearly spat out her water. Instead, she nearly choked on it, and a few seconds later, she got it down without embarrassing herself too much. Her face had turned red from the ordeal. She put it against the table for a moment.
