When Alaska walked into the dojo the next morning she saw Eli looked at her in the mirror, looking away quickly and pretending he hadn't seen her. Miguel looked at her odd as he gave her a forced smile, confusing Alaska as she gave him a odd look.

"Antarctica." Sensei Lawrence said a he walked out of his office to stare at her, "Get in here, now."

She stared, dropped her bag and pulling her shoes off, walking across the mat. Miguel gave a a worried look as she stare at him, "What, Miguel?"

"Someone said something on the website about you." Miguel said as Alaska stared at him for a moment before disappearing into the office, shutting the door behind her

"Yes, Sensei?" Alaska asked, trying not to seem guilty and worried. Sensei Lawrence ignored her, putting the small cup on his table.

A drug test.

"You're gonna piss in this then bring it back to me so I can test you." he said to her seriously, staring at her in disbelief, "Do you understand?"

"Um, why?" Alaska asked as she cleared her throat, staring at the test as her heart raced.

"Because someone sent a anonymous message on the Cobra Kai websit telling me that you've been on drugs and that you were spotting doing some last night and multiple times before." he said. Alaska opened her mouth to say something before shutting it again, her face was red as her heart jumped. She took the cup in her shaky hands, "Or, you can just be honest with me right now and avoid having to do this."

Alaska stared at him, his eyes burning into hers. Her chin quivered as her eyes watered, looking down as a gentle sob left her lips.

"Damn it." Johnny said as he rubbed his forehead with his hands, "What the hell were you thinking?"

"I don't know." Alaska said a she whipped her eyes, "I'm sorry."

"It's a little late for i'm sorry." he said to her sternly, staring at Alaska as her large tears rolled down her cheeks, "What have you been taking?"

Alaska ignoring him as he hit his desk, "Heroin and Ecstasy."

"He-" Sensei began as he shut his eyes, "God, what the hell, kid? Are you trying to get yourself killed!"

"No!" she said back, her voice just as loud as his was, "I'm sorry!"

"I don't care if you're sorry! I was counting on you!" he yelled at her as Alaska whipped her eyes and looked away, "Do you have any clue what this means?"

Alaska stared at him, waiting for him of go on, "I have to kick you off the team."

"What?" Alaska asked in disbelief as she let out a sob, "No! The tournament is in a few days!"

"Don't you think I know that? I do!" he yelled at her in disbelief, "But I can't show up with a sixteen year old addict, if they find out, we're banned for good and i'm in jail! I could get in some serious shit for not telling anyone!"

Alaska whipped her eyes as she cried, "I love this team."

"Then sober up, go to Rehab." he said to her, standing up and giving her a flyer for a thirty day sobriety program, "Until then, you're off the team."

Alaska stared at him in disbelief, balling up the flyers and throwing it in his face, "Didn't want to be on this stupid team anyways!"

Alaska swung the door open as she stormed out of the office, multiple eyes were on her as she walked across the mat, pushing through people as Johnny was quick to follow, "Hey! Hey! Alaska!"

She ignored him, grabbing her bag and pushing the doors open, leaving in a rush.

"Laska! Hey!" Eli yelled out as he chased her out of the dojo, grabbing hold of her.

"Leave me alone!" she yelled at him, pushing his hands off of her, "I don't want to deal with you right now!"

"You're on drugs?" he asked her in disbelief, staring into her eyes as every emotion swam in them, "Why didn't you tell me?"

Alaska ignored him, trying to move as he held her back, "Let me go! I want to go home!"

He ignored her, wrapping his arms around her tightly as Alaska sobbed, stopped her fighting in his arms as he held her in the middle of the strip mall parking lot, "I'm sorry."

Alaska ignored him, continuing to cry as she gripped her arms tightly from the way they wrapped around her, "I want to stop so bad."

Eli hide his face, not wanting her to see his eyes water at her words, his arms tightening around her tightly and letting her cry.
