"Say it again. I dare you!" Oliver shouted and struggled against everyone's hold on him. Kyler came at him and hit him in the face. But Oliver was stronger. He grabbed him by his jacket and threw him into another table, almost breaking it. "Come on. Do it again!"
"Oliver! Oliver, stop!" Miguel yelled at him but was ignored. 
Grayson grabbed his best friend and pulled him. "Hey, dude. Hey, hey, hey! Oliver!" He shouted.
While everyone was shouting back and forth and others were rooting for Oliver to beat Kyler's ass, Blatt came storming over with a few other traders. They broke the boys apart. "Park. Benson. Principal's office. Now!" 
It got quiet again. Odessa put a hand over her heart, feeling it best very quickly. Her hand remained on Demetri's arm. Mitch and Bert glanced at each other, shocked, and Hailey rubbed her face.
Eli stood there and watched the table of his old friends come together. They were all shocked. Somewhat shocked. He definitely wasn't. He knew how protective Oliver was. He frowned as they all sat down together, Grayson and Miguel telling them what happened. He felt completely alone. He did it to himself. He made the bed and now he had to lay in it. 



















The fight in the cafeteria still had Odessa rattled. Oliver got into fights all the time, especially when it came to defending his friends. He was just that type of person. She was only worried about him getting suspended. She walked with Miguel down the hallway to his locker because they had their next class together.  When she looked down the hallway, she narrowed her eyes. "Uh, is that Johnny?" 
Miguel's looked confused until he heard the sound of knocking on lockers. He looked over to see Johnny standing there. "Yes, it is." He muttered. "Sensei? How'd you get through security?" 
"I went to school here. Think I don't know all the secret ways in?" Said Johnny. "Christian and I used to sneak out all the time."
"I believe it." Odessa uttered. 
Anyways, got some good news. Found us a pretty sweet spot for our new dojo." He informed them. 
"That's awesome." Said Miguel with a smile. 
"How's the recruiting coming?" 
The teenagers looked at each other. "Hailey and Grayson agreed to come. Oliver just got into a fight during lunch."
His eyes widened. "Orphan Annie? Did he win?"
Odessa gave him a look.
"Of course he did. Why am I asking? Anyone else?"
"It's just everything's changed. Cobra Kai,  they. . . They drank all the kool-aid." Said Miguel. 
Odessa narrowed her eyes. "What?"
"Sensei Kreese is turning them into an army of assholes.  There's no convincing them to leave,"
"Oh, yeah. Kool-aid." 
Johnny's shoulders at the information. From over their heads, he spotted Hawk and his Cobra Kai friends at the end of the hallway. He felt a fire light under him. "Wait here." He said to them.
Miguel and Odessa watched him make his way towards the Cobra Kai's. They looked at each other. "Should we?" He questioned.
She nodded. "Yeah."
"Okay, listen up!" Johnny announced. 
By their lockers, Grayson and Hailey heard him and turned around. She looked at her friend. "Dess, what's happening?"
