Cobra Kai

Strike First

(starting at this episode because I wasn't sure how to add her into the first one)

I walked into the busy cafeteria and sat down at my usual table.

"Hey guys." I smiled at my friends and took out my phone.

"Hey Alex." Eli smiled.

Demetri nodded while taking a bite of his lunch.

Eli held his apple out to me but I shook my head.

"You need to eat something." Eli told me.

"We've been through this, I don't eat lunch. Got to stay in shape otherwise my coach will get mad." I explained my reason for not eating.

Eli nodded letting me know he understood.

Just as Demetri was about to say something a boy came up to us. "Is it cool if I sit here?" He asked, motioning to the empty seat next to me.

"Sorry, tables really blowing up right now." Demetri started, making me roll my eyes and Eli smirk.

The boy looked at the empty table in confusion.

"I can put you on the waitlist, but it's probably next semester at the earliest." Demetri continued.

The boy shook his head. "Ok." He replied starting to walk away.

"Ignore him, sit." I pulled the chair next to me out and he sat down.

"Miguel." He introduced himself.

"Demetri." Demetri replied.

"Alex. This is Eli, he's a man of few words." I pointed to Eli while taking out some gum.

Demetri reached across the table and took it out my hands.

"Can't have gum when you've got braces." Demetri told me with a smirk.

I flipped him off then took another packet out my pocket and putting a piece in my mouth before it could be taken.

Demetri just rolled his eyes.

Yasmine and Sam waltzed into the cafeteria and sat down at their table, at the back of the room.

Miguel stared at them as they walked past.

"Dude, don't torture yourself. Those are the rich girls." Demetri told him.

"Do you ever talk to them or..." Miguel trailed off.

"Alex used to be one of them but then she turned down a shopping trip because she had training so they banished her from the friend group...but us? Oh yeah, we hang out after school, make out, give each other hand jobs. Eli here is the homecoming king. Gets laid more than anyone. Isn't that right, Eli?" Demetri joked, making me roll my eyes again.

"Talk to them? You realize what table you're sitting at, right? You've pretty much signed away all hopes of losing your virginity before college. Except from Alex." Demetri looked at me with hope.

"I've told you, just a rumor. Sorry buddy." I shrugged.

"Oh shit, Yasmine's looking at us. Probably just making fun of me." Eli started fidgeting with his fingers.

"I don't think she's making fun of you. I mean just because they're hot doesn't mean they're mean." Miguel told Eli we all looked at him with a weird look.

"Oh my god, you guys. You see that guy over there who looks like he went down on a lawnmower? He's literally wearing the ugliest sweater I've ever seen." Yasmine spoke and her friends laughed.
