"So that's it? No more karate?" Demetri asked in a not so sentimental way toward Miguel, who's face was still pretty bruised and beat in. The four sat in the library, Alaska changing all their schedules yesterday to have their free period together. Eli turned his paper for Alaska to look down at his math notes.
"I guess so." Miguel said with a minor shrug, keeping his head down. Alaska sighed, seeing his clear disappointment.
"It's probably for the best." Demetri said as Alaska dropped her pen to stare at him in disbelief, "It was starting to boost your confidence."
"Demetri, what exactly do you have against confidence?" Alaska said with a eye roll, stare at him as the dark haired boy rose his eyebrows her way.
"Did you forget what happened when you had confidence?" he asked as Alaska went red in the face at the sudden memory, "Breaking your nose on the diving board and loosing your top in the process.."
"Okay, lets not talk about it." Alaska said quickly to try and stop, the three hadn't mentioned last summer since it happened and right now, with Eli red in the face, was the worst moment to do so, "Miguel, I can try to convince your mom to let you back in, i'll say we're doing it together."
"Thanks, Lasca, but I don't think she's budging." he said with a sigh in defeat before nodding to her, "You should though, get your bellybutton ring back."
"No, absolutely not. Because then she'll get confidence and we'll be right back to where it started." Demetri said in disbelief as the librarian shhed him from across the way, having his hands go up in surrender.
"Well, I thought it was kind cool how you stood up to Kyler." Eli said in a soft voice, looking toward Miguel with innocent eyes.
"Are you insane?" Demetri jump in before he could go on, Alaska threw her pen at his chest with a warning look, "Let me ask you. What is the best superpower anyone could have?"
"Super strength." Miguel said confidently.
"Mind manipulation." Alaska corrected him with a snap of her fingers before looking to Demetri, "I would make you shut the hell up."
"You're both wrong." Demetri said quickly toward the pair, "Invisibility."
"Why? So you can sneak into the girls locker room and wank it?" Alaska asked in disbelief as Eli laughed next to her while Demetri looked in disbelief.
"What type of man do you think I am?" he asked her in disbelief with a crazed look.
"The type of man who thinks women can receive hand jobs, apparently." she said back to him, Miguel was the one to laugh this time and hold his sore ribs in pain.
"A distant second would be super speed to run away fast." Demetri said with a shrug and a knowing look.
"Run away from who?" a new voice said as Kyler leaned down and put his hand on Eli's shoulder. Alaska eyed him as she shut her notebooks quickly, shoving them into her bag.
"Whom." Brucks corrected as Kyler looked back at him in disbelief, "It's the object of a preposition. Remember English class."
"We were just leaving." Miguel stared as the four rose, Alaska circled the table quickly, turning to grab Eli, only to see his face in Kylers hands.
"Look at this freak." he stated while examining his scar, Brucks laughed dramatically, "What type of girl would ever kiss this shit?"
"Leave him alone, Kyler." Alaska said quickly a she shoved the boy away, stepping between the two.
"Oh, what are you gonna do? Fail my report card again or make some hilarious lie up on the announcement?" he asked her with a teasing look across his face, laughing with his friend.
"No, this time i'll just be sure to announce to everyone what you said about Sam in the locker room last night." Alaska said as the boys smile fell, anger flashing through his eyes as he grabbed hold of her collar, "You're the one no ones gonna wanna kiss after that, huh?"
"Leave her alone." Miguel spoke up, annoyed as Kyler shoved Alaska back, Demetri catching her while Kyler squared up to Miguel with a whistle.
"What'd you say?" Kyler asked while Brucks continued to laugh like a idiot next to him, Alaska look in disbelief his way.
"What is so funny, dude? Smoke another one, why don't you." She said with a odd look as he stared at her, blinking and waiting for Kyler to do something, the taller boy too busy with Miguel.
"You haven't had enough, Rhea?" Kyler mocked Miguel, getting in his face a bit, chest to chest. Kyler pushed Miguel quickly as Alaska went to step forward before Demetri held her back with a nod toward her abdomen, only two days after her stitches.
"Get the hell out of here, man." Kyler said as he forcefully shoved Miguel's head. He went first while Eli and Alaska followed close behind, she nudged him with a small smile.
"They're stupid, plenty of girls wanna kiss you." she said to him encouragingly, rubbing his upper back as they walked into the hallway.
"Like who?" he asked her in disbelief, moving before he could bump into someone.
"You'd be surprised how many people like nerds, Eli." she said, squeezing his cheeks in her hand and looking back to find Demetri close behind with his backpack covered in yogurt.
"Does it still hurt?" Eli asked as he watched Alaska cleaned her stitched gently, holding her shirt up enough in the mirror. He sat on her bed, algebra notes in one hand and looking at her pain medication in the other.
"A little but not as bad, those keep me numbed up a bit if I take enough." she said, nodding toward the orange bottle he held and gently putting the bandage on her wounds better.
"Says you're only supposed to take one every four hours." Eli commented as she walked over, falling dramatically onto the bed next to him before turning her head to look up at his concerning eyes.
"Twos enough." she waved him off as Eli sighed and set them back down on her bedside table, "It's just pain killers anyways, it's not like you can overdose on those."
Eli looked down at her with gentle eyes, not saying a word as she sighed and look at him in disbelief, "What's the problem, little bird?"
"When you run out they're not going to re fill them for you because they'll know you're taking too many." he told her knowingly, a yelp leaving the side of the bed as he leaned over to pick up Cedric, Alaska's Bichon Frise, "Even Cedric agrees."
"Cedric agrees with everything you say." Alaska's commented a she ran a hand through the dogs hair as he laid on her stomach, "I'll cool it though, it's just a really low dose."
"Were you serious about joining kerate?" he asked as she pulled on the collar of his shirt to get him to lay down with her and Cedric, "Like you said in the library."
"Sorta." Alaska said, turning her head to look at him better, "After what happened... I wanna be able to protect myself."
Eli nodded his head in agreement as Alaska gave him a alarming look, "Are you wanting to?"
"Sorta." he said back, flushing in the face, "But if you think it's stupid-"
"It's not stupid, I think you should." she agreed as he looked over at her again with a smile, "We could kick some major ass if we're ever in a hospital shooting."
Eli giggled at her words as she smiled at the sound, pulling him in closer to her side.
"I know she laughed at us and all, but I feel bad for her." Alaska said the next day as she eyed Sam who was in a huge mess regarding the rumor Kyler spread around about her, "God, I wish I had her legs though."
"She does have nice legs." Demetri nodded his head while sticking his spoon back into his pudding with a hum, "Rumor has it a nice tongue too."
"Shut up, Demetri." Alaska snapped after him, hitting him with her books, "Its just a rumor, if Sam says it didn't happen, it didn't happen."
Sam suddenly threw Kylers lunch off the table when he and Brucks started to laugh.
"Yes, you throw that lunch down." Alaska said under her breath as she threw a arm around Eli, "It's happening, Eli."
"Hey, guys! You know that billboard with the big-ass dick on it?" Kyler called out to the now silent cafeteria, "I guess Sam takes after her dad."
The cafeteria began to laugh at his comment while Sam reddening in the face.
"Hey, Kyler!" Miguel suddenly yelled out as he threw his lunch down, "Why don't you shut the hell up and stop being such a asshole?"
"Oh no, I can't bare to watch the death of my dear friend Miguel." Alaska said as she buried her head into Eli's neck, "Maybe I could take the spot in his family though."
"Want another beat down, Rhea?" Alaska heard Kyler asked, she could imagine he'd gotten into his face again like he had last time, "I'm ready for your lame ass karate this time."
"It's not lame ass karate." Miguel snapped back at him.
"Oh god, Eli, don't watch our friend sacrifice himself." Alaska said as she reached up to put a hand over his eyes quickly.
"It's Cobra Kai." Miguel said back as a form of oohs and grunts were heard. Alaska whined at the sound.
"How bad is it, Metri? Is Miguel dead?" Alaska asked as she felt Demetri yank her from Eli's neck as she took notice of the sight before her, "Miguel? Is he kicking ass?"
Her hand dropped from Eli's eyes as he blinked and watch Miguel twist Kylers arms back and kick him in the back as he fell into the table.
"I want whatever he's on." Alaska commented with a shake of her head, "Make his balls come out of his mouth, Miguel!"
Aisha looked over and laughed at Alaska's words, joining the three after she waved her over quickly.
"It's Cobra Kai, this is what we learned in just a few days." she said as the trio watched in shock. Eli and Alaska shared a look before pulling their eyes back over toward Miguel who tripped Brucks and toss one of Kylers other friends over his back.
"No mercy!" Aisha yelled out.
Miguel flipped over a table, grabbing the lunch tray and hitting two people with it, tripping the other in the process.
"Do you think I should get in there and help?" Aisha asked with a slightly alarming look at the fact that Miguel was taking on three people at once.
"I think he's got it." Alaska said in shock, watching her friend, who was just beaten a week ago, take on three of the stronger boys in school, "Wipe the floor with them!"
Miguel jumped onto the table, kicking Kyler before knocking him out with the tray. Alaska pumped her fist into the air as she cheered alongside the rest of the cafeteria, grabbing Eli's hand to pump his hand in the air too while he grinned widely. Demetri looked in some form of shock.
"Hey, get down from there right now." the counselor said as she walked over and pulled Miguel from the table to lead him to the office.
Alaska stood on her chair quickly and cupped her hands around her mouth, "Free Miguel!"
"Free Miguel!"
