monroe's pov:
"dude , what took you so long?" hawk asked me as i got into the passenger seat of his car.

"sorry , my dad was on my ass." i rolled my eyes as i put my seatbelt on.

"moe." he sighed. "you know , i think you should move out of there." he started the drive down to cobra kai.

"i really want to , but i can't." i furrowed my eyebrows. "and even if i were to move out where would i even go? i have no job , no money , no family around." i listed. "i have no choice , but to stay here." i shrugged. "i'll be good." i faced him , giving him a warm smile. "thanks for caring , though."

"no problem , moe." he smiled back. "did daisy ever forgive you?" he asked , redirecting his attention back to the road.

"uh , something like that." i said , unsure of where me and daisy stand.

"what do you mean?"

"i may or .. may not have spent the night at daisy's house last week." i scrunched up my nose in embarrassment.

"yeah?" hawk chuckled. "what happened?" he asked.

"everything was fine when i got there , but then things took a turn and .." i trailed off.

"wow." he nodded his head , understanding. "so , like , are you guys back together or?" he asked , furrowing his eyebrows.

"no , definitely not." i shook my head. "i think we're just slowly , but surely , making our way back up to being friends again." i explained. "god." i sighed , slouching down in the passenger seat. "still can't believe she got that tattoo for us , i don't think i could ever do that for somebody." i quickly shut my eyes tight , realizing what i had just said. i looked back at hawk to see a , somewhat mad , and disappointed look on his face. "sorry , man." i apologized.

"yeah." he rasped out. "i'm getting that shit fixed up , anyway." he said , referring to the tattoo he got for moon on his chest. "feel like such and idiot every time i look at it." he clenched his jaw. "can't believe i was stupid enough to get a tattoo for her." he shook his head.

"well , like you said , you're getting it fixed up. i can come with you to the parlor to choose your design." i raised my eyebrows , turning my head to face hawk.

"yeah , that'd be great , actually." he nodded his head as he pulled into the parking lot of the strip mall.

hawk parked his car and we made our way down into cobra kai to see our other teammates , separated in their own friend groups , stretching on the matt. "great , i already have one in mind." i smirked as me and hawk kicked off our sneakers , dropping our gym bags at our feet , receiving a hum of approval from hawk. we bowed and miguel got up from the matt , dapping up hawk. "hey , diaz." i sent him a head nod.

"hey , about coyote creek , we cool?" he asked with an unsure look on his face , as hawk made his way down onto the matt by tory.

i furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. "we were enemies for a day , but cobra kai for life." i smirked as miguel smiled. we gave each other a reassuring hug and made our way to the matt.

"everybody , fall in!" johnny said as we all got up from the matt , getting into our spots. i was honestly waiting for kreese to come from johnny's office but he never did. weird. "today , we'll be learning one of the most important lessons a cobra kai could ever know." johnny said as he made it to the front of the dojo.

"where's sensei kreese?" i asked , putting my arms behind my back.

"yeah. shouldn't we wait for the sensei emeritus before we get going?" chubbs asked , causing me to turn around giving him a 'shut up' look. johnny stale faced him as chubbs sharply exhaled. "or not."
