Miguel and I were walking down the hallway at school.
"So... How was your stargazing date with Sam?" I asked. "We actually went to Golf n' Stuff. It was amazing! We played games, ate, hug out.. Oh! And we got this huge stuffed octopus with the tickets we won!" He said, very enthusiastic.
"Look at you, lover boy!" I said, elbowing him. "So did you make a move?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. He was quiet for a moment before he looked down with a smile slowly growing on his face. I gasped in excitement.
"Oh my god Miguel! I knew you could do it!" I said, pulling him into a big hug. He hugged back. "Thanks for giving me confidence, y/n. I couldn't have done it without you." He said, pulling away and smiling.
I looked over his shoulder a little to see Sam walking our way. "Speaking of..." I said, wiggling my eyebrows.
"Hey Sam! I want you to meet someone." Miguel said to her as she approached. "Hey! I'm y/n." I said with a smile, holding out my hand for her to shake. "I'm Sam. It's nice to meet you!" She said, returning the shake.
"She's my best friend." Miguel said, gesturing to me. Sam gave me a kind smile. "Well, I'd better get going. I think I promised Eli I'd meet him in the library." I said, starting to back up. "It was lovely meeting you!" I said to Sam, waving goodbye.
Sam turned to face Miguel. I sent him an exaggerated wink. He rolled his eyes quickly and focused on what Sam was saying.
I turned around and went to go find Eli.

We had our training in a junkyard today. Not gonna lie, I was super excited.
All the kids were in their own little small groups talking to their friends, while we waited for everyone to show up.
"Alright everybody, fall in! Get your asses over here!" Sensei yelled, standing on top of a car with a beer in his hand. We all turned and met in the middle. Eli and I weren't standing next to each other, but for no particular reason though. I was slightly behind him, to the right.
"Alright everyone, listen up!" Sensei yelled, grabbing everyone's attention. There was a small pause of silence. "We're back in the game!" He yelled. We all cheered with each other.
Sensei got Cobra Kai back into the tournament!
After a few seconds of cheering, we came to a stop because another yell came out of sensei's mouth. "QUIET!" He yelled, making everyone silent. "You've trained hard! You've gotten stronger, tougher, faster. You've done your best." He yelled over everyone.
I looked over to Eli, who was still looking up at Johnny. Johnny was still talking, but I blocked it out while I gazed upon Eli.
Look at him... Perfect jawline... Perfect eyes... Perfect personality... Perfect, well, everything! I am so taken by him. No one has ever made me feel this way... ever. There's something special about Eli, I just know it.
I was snapped out of my thoughts by Sensei yelling for me. "Miss y/l/n!" He yelled, making me quickly snap my head back in his direction. "You're not gonna win the tournament by staring at the side of Hawk's head all day!" He yelled, in front of everyone.
My eyes got wider and my cheeks lit up a bright red. I looked over to Eli for a moment, who was laughing and smirking at me. Everyone around me was quietly laughing as well, causing me to get even redder.
Sensei was laughing as well. He waited for the laughter to die down before continuing with his speech. "Are you losers?" Sensei yelled. "No Sensei!" We all yelled back. "Are you nerds?" He yelled. "No Sensei!" We yelled in response. "Are you sure?" He yelled once more. "No Sensei!" We all yelled. Sensei held both of his hands to his face and facepalmed.
We started our training by running through a series of tires as fast as we could. I stumbled a couple times, earning myself 20 push-ups on my knuckles each slip up. But, what came next was the fun part.
Next, we all got bats and large sticks and went over to the abandoned parking garage. It was full of worn down, broken cars. "Your enemies are all around you... destroy them!" Sensei yelled, causing us to all go over to a car and start smashing it up completely.
I glanced over to Eli once in a while, who always already seemed to be looking at me. A few minutes later, I heard people calling my name. "Y/n! Come over here and help us!" Miguel yelled, while he and Eli tried to pick up a huge piece of metal.
I rushed over and helped them carry it over to a nearby window. On the count of three, we all threw it out of the window. It fell quickly down on top of a car, causing a huge smash. Eli, Miguel, and I all cheered and gave each other high fives.
After about two hours of being there, we all went back outside where we started. "You guys hungry?" Sensei asked, handing out pieces of beef jerky to everyone. "Yes Sensei!" We all said, out of unison.
"Good... cause so are they..." he said, before blowing a very high pitched whistle. We all looked around at each other in confusion before we heard aggressive barking coming towards us. "Oh shit! Run!" Aisha yelled to us all.
Eli grabbed my hand and quickly pulled me towards a nearby truck. He quickly lifted me up onto the top. I turned around and held my hand out for him to grab. "Hurry up! They're gaining!" I yelled as a dog got closer and closer to us.
I tried my hardest to pull him up, but we were too late. A dog came up and lunged towards Eli, biting him. Eli let out a loud yell in pain. Johnny quickly called the dogs back, seeing what just happened.
I hopped down from the truck. "Oh my god! Eli!
A-Are you ok?" I asked, holding his cheeks and examining his body for any major injuries. "Yeah, I think I'm fine.." he said, out of breath as he tried to stand back up. He quickly let out a groan of pain and laid back down on the ground.
"Eli, you're not ok. We need to get you to the hospital." I said, softly gliding my hand over his cheek. "Sensei! Get your car and drive your ass over here! Eli needs to go to the hospital!" I yelled to him sternly, causing him to run to his car.
✯¸.•'*¨'*•♡︎ ♡︎•*'¨*'•.¸✯
I was waiting in the hospital waiting room for news about Eli's condition. My leg was impatiently bouncing up and down while I waited. I was playing with my fingers, which were super sweaty because of how nervous I was.
All the sudden the door opens, and out walks Eli's mom. I quickly stand up and walk towards her. "Hey Mrs. Moskowitz, is he alright?" I asked in a nervous tone, crossing my arms. "Yes, honey. He's just fine. Nothing serious. A couple stitches here and there, and a rabies shot, just to be safe." She said, putting her hand on my shoulder lightly.
Relief filled my body instantly and I took a deep breath in and out. "Can I go see him?" I asked her softly. "Of course, hun." She said kindly, pointing me to his room. I smiled and started to walk quickly to his room.
I turned the corner to see him laying in the bed, watching tv. I knock on the door frame lightly, causing him to look over at me with a tough face.
His face instantly softened when he realized it was me. "Hey, come on in!" He said, patting a spot next to him on his bed. I walked over and sat next to him.
"How're you holding up?" I asked, grabbing one of his hands. "Honestly y/n, I'm fine. I think you're more worried about this than me." He said, letting out a small laugh. "Well, it's technically my fault you're here, because I-" I started to say, before he cut me off.
"It's not your fault, Princess, ok?" He said, lightly moving my head to meet his gaze. "I'd much rather it be me than you in this hospital bed, hurt." He said, smiling at me. I smiled, looking down at my hands.
He pushed my jaw once more to meet his gaze, as he slowly leaned in. I leaned into him as well. The feel of his soft lips on mine made my body feel numb and tingly. The way our lips moved in unison was like the rhythm of a beautiful poem.
We both pulled away, smiling and looking each other in the eyes. We stayed like that for a moment, before Eli spoke up. "Hey, y/n... I really, really, like you..." he said to me. His words made my heart beat out of my chest.
"Eli, I really, really, like you too..." I said, smiling and bitting my lip slightly. "Which is why I need to ask you something... y/n, would you be-" he started to say, before he was cut off by my phone, which started ringing. I looked down to see it was Miguel.
"Shit." I said quietly, before looking back up at Eli. "I'm sorry, Eli. But I have to go." I said, standing up. Before I exited the door, I looked back at him. "Will you be alright without me for tonight?" I asked with a smirk.
"Yeah, I'll find a way to manage.." he chuckled, smirking back. I smiled and lightly tapped the doorframe, before leaving.
I hurried to the dojo.
Once I arrived at the dojo, Sensei and Miguel both looked over to me. "Is Hawk alright?" Miguel asked, walking up to me. "Yeah, he'll be ok." I said with a reassuring smile. "Hurry up Miss y/l/n! Get into your Gi! We're gonna do some extra training." Sensei yelled. I bowed quickly and went to change into my Gi.
I walked out of the bathroom, and started the training exercises Sensei made us do. About three hours into the training, Sensei finally let us have a break. Me and Miguel were out of breath, sweat dripping down our faces.
"Why are we the only ones here Sensei..." I asked, trying to catch my breath. "Cause let's face it.. you two are the only chances I've got at winning this thing." He said, looking between us. "Oh, so we're your best students?" I asked with a cocky smile. "I wouldn't go that far." Sensei said back.
Miguel and I grabbed our phones. I opened mine to see a text from Eli.
Eli:
Eli: Hey Princess. Wanna catch a movie tomorrow night? We can invite Aisha, Miguel, and his little girlfriend too.
Me: His little girlfriend's name is Sam. And sure, that sounds fun! I'll let them know!
Me: Still doing ok without me?
Eli: Nope, I'm basically dying here!
Me: haha, very funny. I've gotta go, but I'll call you later.
Eli: Alright Princess. Talk to you later.
I looked up from my phone by the sound of Miguel's laugh. "What are you laughing at?" I asked playfully. "Oh nothing, just this funny picture my girlfriend posted." He said, tiling his phone towards me so I could see.
Sensei comes over to see too, but quickly snatches Miguel phone from his hands. "Is that Daniel LaRusso's daughter?" He asked angrily. "Yeah, you know Samantha?" Miguel asked in confusion. "You're dating a LaRusso?" Sensei asked again. "Yeah, why? Is something wrong?" Miguel asked, even more confused than the first time. "We need to talk." He said, grabbing Miguel's arm and pulling him outside of the dojo.
"Umm hello! Can I join your little 'boys talk'?"
I yelled as they got farther away. Sensei simply yelled "No!" Before shutting the dojo door. I rolled my eyes in annoyance and started to get my things together. Miguel would probably fill me in later.
I heard a ding come from my phone. I looked down to see a text from an unknown number...
Who could it be?
