Odessa came and stood by Johnny. He saw his fallen expression as Miguel took off with Daniel. "I like manwiches too, you know?" She spoke. 
In result, he smiled and ruffled her blonde hair. "Thanks, Dess." 





















Kenny walked into the Cobra Kai dojo with his gi on. "Look who made it." Kyler commented.
He said nothing. Instead, he walked up and stood between Tory and Robby. "What's up?" Robby asked when seeing his fallen expression. 
He told them about getting picked on by some kids at school. When he told them that it was Hawk, that's when Robby got angry. "These older guys asked if I was in Cobra Kai too, but, they were just being funny. It was harmless." Kenny added.
"Who were they?"  Asked Tory. 
"Said their names were Grayson and Oliver."
At the names, they all looked at each other. "Ah, yeah,  they used to be here. They quit cause they're pussies." Kyler said and let out an obnoxious laugh.
"I talked one of the older girls today, too. She told me about the rival dojos. Her name was Odessa." 
Robby looked away at the mention of her name. It had been a while since he last saw Odessa, since they talked at Mr. Larusso's dojo. He found it hard to get himself to talk to her. He didn't know if it was out of embarrassment or how he knew if he stayed in contact her, his feelings for her would come back. Maybe they were still there. You don't just lose your feelings when it comes to a girl like Odessa Beaumont.  
Kenny noticed their faces. "She was actually really nice." He added. 
Robby cracked a smile. "Yeah, she is."
Tory gave him a look he didn't quite understand.  Kyler stayed quiet.





















Odessa sat in Johnny's apartment watching him make a pan of chili for the sandwiches. Her mom was at work and Grayson was with Hailey. Oliver was with Demetri. She was the only single person in their friend group. She figured she'd spend some time with Johnny. "I just realized we've never had a one on one with each other before." She spoke. 
Johnny looked her way. "Huh, I guess no. Sick of me yet?"
She smiled. "Nah, not yet. I'm sure I'll get there."
He scooped some of the chili in a spoon and held it out for her.  "Taste that." 
Odessa got out of the chair and walked over to taste it. She processed the taste and hummed, her eyes narrowing. 
"Not manly enough?" 
She shook her head.  "Not manly enough." They took two packs of beef jerky and dumped it in. "Hey Johnny, can I ask you something?" 
"Sure, kid. What's up?"
"I know you and my dad were best friends. That he had to sleep on your couch for a while," she began. Johnny had paused and looked down at her. "And I know you and my mom's friendship has gotten a lot stronger. I guess what I'm trying to ask is. . . How do you feel about me?" She was nervous to ask. Her father abandoned her. Her mom was out of it for a while after what happened. She felt as if she didn't have someone in her life to guide her, to love and protect her, until her mom starting getting her life together again. 
Johnny was like a dad to her in a way. He was her Sensei. He protected her even when he didn't need to. She didn't want to lose that. 
"I'm not good at showing how I feel. You obviously know that," Johnny responded after a minute of thinking. "You know how my relationship with Robby is. It's always been rocky. I wasn't ready to be a dad. I screwed that up. Then I met Miguel and things got better. And then you showed up."
