"Is there going to be any fighting?" Moon asked as the trio watched Robby and Sam's silhouettes preform basic karate moves behind the projector that had the Miyagi Do symbol on it.
"I think so." Demetri said, taking notice of Alaska's state. She was biting her thumb as guilt formed in her chest, looking over her shoulder every few seconds, "Hey, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing." Alaska lied as he gave her a look of disbelief, "There's just lots of people here, that's all."
"Oh no, do you have social anxiety?" Moon asked worried.
"No, no, it's not that." Alaska shook her head. Though she developed plenty of anxiety once she became sober, she was truly only feeling guilty now for what was about to happen. The crowd cheered as the performance came to a end, the three taking a bow.
When the three came from behind the projector, Daniel announced the finale, wheeling a row a ice out onto the stage. Robby gave Alaska a smile in the crowd, seeing the look on her face as he gave her a questionable expression.
Then he heard it.
"Cobra Kai! Cobra Kai! Cobra Kai!" Alaska looked down as the team made their entrench, marching through the crowd and making it to the stage. Demetri and Moon cheered, Alaska clapped slightly as she looked up finally. Robby looked at her in disbelief, scoffing and walking off the stage. Alaska hesitated, debating if she should stay for her team or go fix what she messed up.
"Robby, wait!" Alaska begged as she ran after him, making it close enough to grab his arm.
"Leave me alone." be demanded, pulling his arm from his grip, "You used me and you lied to me."
"I know, i'm so sorry." she apologized as he only scoffed and turned away, her hand pulling him back with pleading eyes, "Please, I meant what I said about us being friends."
"Yeah?" he asked her with a glare, "Do you use all your friends?"
"That wasn't me, okay? I don't know what I was thinking. I wasn't actually, I wasn't thinking at all." Alaska begged a she gave him a sad look, hoping to reason, "I'm so sorry."
Robby only pulled his arm away from her with a shake of his head, storming off. Alaska stayed put, her guilt getting worse. The inside of her elbowing throbbed, screamed out for her. Alaska shook her head, popping her rubber bands. It only made it worse, "No, no."
Alaska paced slightly, her head spinning. She'd gotten so use to shooting up each time a situation got bad that she wasn't sure how to handle it. Alaska pulled the phone from her pocket, shaky hands dialing the number. Alaska shook her head, begging herself over and over to stop. The other end of the line came through immediately as Alaska sighed in relief, "Please, come pick me up, please."
"Oh, honey." Carmen said as she rubbed Alaska's face, letting her cry in her arms, "You did the right thing, calling me."
"I've done so good." Alaska cried a she held onto Carmen tightly, "Why is it so hard? Why do I feel like this?"
"It's part of it." Carmen said with a sad sigh, holding Alaska softly, "I know it's hard, but you're so strong, not everyone can stop themselves."
"I don't want to feel like this anymore." Alaska cried as she rubbed her eyes and sat up to look at the woman, "Please, what can you do? I can't feel this each time something gets hard."
Carmen looked at her guiltily, pushing some hair behind Alaska's ears, "There isn't anything I can do, Mija."
Alaska sobbed as she fell into her arms again, clinging to anything to keep her away from relapsing, never feeling it as bad as she did now, "I'm so stupid."
"You aren't stupid, addiction is such a hard thing." Carmen said as she pulled Alaska's face back to wipe her tears, her own eyes watery, "You're such a strong girl, the strongest woman i've ever know."
Alaska's lip quivered as she stared at her, "Really?"
"Really, and i'm so proud for how far you've come." Carmen said, pulling Alaska back into her arms and rocking her slightly, "My brave girl, i've got you."
"Jesus, you scared the hell outta me." Hawk said as he looked over, finding Alaska walking into the dojo with Miguel, "I called and texted hundred of times, I thought someone stole you."
"I'm sorry." Alaska apologized as she wrapped her arms around him, the hug so forceful and sudden that it took his off guard, "You did amazing last night, i'm sorry I didn't see much of it."
"Something happen? Why didn't you get my attention?" he asked quickly, scanning her over quickly with a worried expression, trying to find something wrong.
"Last night was just a little rough, i'm okay now, I swear." Alaska reassured him with a gentle smile, sad eyes peering his way, "As tough as a caveman."
"You're no caveman." Hawk said with a laugh, hugging her again with a sigh of relief.
"Listen up!" Sensei yelled as he exited his office, staring at the group who hadn't even warmed up yet, "See we got some new recruits."
Alaska looked around at the new group of students that had joined after the festival last night, she smiled at a few.
"Everybody fall in." Sensei demanded, pulling Alaska to stand by his side, "You getting your stitches out today?"
"As soon as I leave here." she said as he knocked knuckles with her quickly.
"Time to see what you're made of." Sensei spoke as he began walking the rows, scanning each of the new students and the old. Alaska stop before them, giving a grin to Hawk who sent a wink her way, buffing his chest out more, "Sorry, parents can't stay for class."
Alaska looked over to find Sensei before a older man, at least twice the age any of the teens in the dojo were. The man gave a smile, "I'm not a dad. I'm-I am here to kick some ass, sir!"
"Yeah!" Alaska cheered over the silence in the dojo, having Sensei look back at her in disbelief. Alaska cleared her throat and looked away awkwardly, catching a taller girl in the crowd giving her a small grin.
"I thought my last group of recruits was pathetic." Sensei said as he walked up the rows again to stand next to Alaska, "But if you do what I tell you to do, you'll at least have a chance at becoming a fighter. But to do that, you gotta fight. So, which one of you has the balls to take on the champ?"
Alaska's eyebrows rose as she gave a smirk toward Miguel, looking around at the silent dojo before a voice from the back heard, "I'll take him on."
The same girl that gave Alaska a smile a few moments ago stood confident while Sensei scoffed, "Oh, you will, huh?"
"I saw your little demo at Valley Fest. You guys can put on a show, can you actually fight?" she asked. Alaska inhaled as Sensei walked down the row to stand before her. Alaska gave the girl an encouraging thumbs up behind Sensi's back.
"That sounds like a challenge."
"I like a challenge."
"Mr.Diaz!" Sensei yelled as he walked away from her and back toward Alaska, "Show little miss Hot Shot here what Cobra Kai is all about."
"Wanna bet money?" Alaska asked as she hit sensei in the arm, "I've got a good feeling about this one."
"Twenty bucks." the blonde man said as he held up the twenty in his hand, "You're on, Antarctica."
Alaska cheered as the girl kicked Miguel in the chest, making him stumble backwards. Miguel grinned, swinging his fist as she blocked it before mimicking his movement. Alaska watched with wide, amazed eyes at the new girls ability. Miguel took her down, the girl flipping over her shoulder and taking stance.
"Damn, girl!" Alaska yelled with a whistle. Migeul kicked his foot into her leg, knocking her back before she tackled him onto the ground. Alaska grinned up at Sensei, "I'll take that twenty now."
"Not a chance." he said before pocketing it and writing the new girls name down.
"How's it feel?" Aisha teased as Alaska danced out of the hospital, waving her shirt around after getting her stitches removed.
"Like a brand new damn woman." Alaska said, doing a little dance as she looked down, "It'll have a scar but it's kinda sexy if you look at it."
Aisha laughed, Alaska took notice of the same girl from class standing next to her, "This is Tory, I invited her to the Beach Club with us."
"That was badass what you did today." Alaska said to Tory with a grin, "I'm talking like really, Hermione Granger and Luke Skywalker badass."
Tory laughed as she held her hand out, "I'm Alaska."
"How unique." Tory said with a half grin, "I hear you're kinda the big deal."
"You'll see it tomorrow, when I take down Hawks ass." Alaska said as she high fived Aisha, unlocking her car, "Come on, you can ride with us."
"He's really convinced you won't be able to." Aisha said with a knowing look, climbing into the front while Tory took the back, "You've got to show some serious power tomorrow."
"I've got serious power, it's my emotions i've got to control." Alaska said, staring the engine and pushing her sunglasses on, "He knows how to work me, that's the problem."
"Is Hawk your boyfriend?" Tory asked as she smiled while Alaska offered her the extra pair of sunglasses.
"More like best friend who she has a ridiculous amount of tension with." Aisha said as Alaska gave her a annoyed look, backing out of the parking garage, "It's true! Sometimes I just want to lock them in a room together and see what happens."
Tory laughed as Alaska cut in once she began to drive, "Okay, three reasons. One, we're just friends. Two, he has a girlfriend. And three, right now is the worst time possible for me to even be thinking about that."
"Why? What happened?" Tory asked, leaning back against the vintage seat covers.
"She seduced a guy into giving her information and now she feels bad about it." Aisha said as Alaska gave her a look of disbelief, Aisha only put her hands up in surrender, "Even though he's the reason she had stitches in the first place."
"I gave him blue balls!" Alaska said loudly as Tory laughed from the backseat, "I feel like such a Brad or Chad right now."
"Don't worry, Alaska, you aren't a Brad or Chad." Aisha reassured her as Alaska shook her head, turning up the radio and driving off to the Beach Club.
