LEXI AND HAWK WERE WALKING hand-in-hand in the school hallways, the two of them talking about the middle schoolers who were looking at the big school in awe, most likely remembering the karate stories.

"Remember when we were that young, short, and stupid," Lexi said, earning a small chuckle from Hawk. He slowly turned her around so Lexi was inches away from Hawk's face, their breaths radiating off one another.

"You looked beautiful in my hoodie, princess." Lexi smiled, looking down at her outfit, the red oversized hoodie she stole from her boyfriend's closet. She put her hands on Hawk's cheeks and brought his face closer to her's placing a gentle kiss on his nose.

"Of course, because this is your hoodie," Lexi smirked before attempting to get out of Hawk's grip, but that failed when he simply spun her around, Lexi colliding with his body, their chests touching one another.

"Yeah, but I'd prefer to see you with it off of your body instead," Hawk said in a quiet and seductive voice, making Lexi slap his chest gently and walk off to her locker. Hawk placed a soft kiss on Lexi's lips before he went off to go to the bathroom. As Lexi was at her locker, she ran into a couple of her friends, waving a polite hello as they walked by.

Lexi's day was was already going by pretty well and she couldn't wait what else the it had in store for her, but that thought was abruptly interrupted when a boy who was shorter than her, ran into her body.

"Oh, I'm sorry I wasn't—oh, Kenny is it? I saw you back at the dojo when I visited my brother." Lexi noticed Kenny's eyes were wide, evidently from fear. "Hey, are you okay?" Lexi questioned, noticing the boy's scared behavior.

"U-Um, yeah, I'm okay, I just ran into a couple of kids who were hassling me in the bathroom." Then suddenly it clicked in her head. Hawk was in the bathroom.

"Did one of the boys happen to have red spikey hair?" Kenny slowly nodded, wondering how she knew.

"Yeah, how'd you know?" Lexi sighed, feeling hurt that Hawk broke his word when it came to messing around with kids again because she remembered all too clearly what happened a while ago when Hawk was being a bully.

They broke up.

"Lucky guess. I'm Lexi by the way." Smiling brightly, Kenny seemed to feel more welcomed, also surprised that someone with the LaRusso name would actually be nice to him. Kenny introduced himself formally, having a good feeling about Lexi.

"Um, Dad, what is this?" Lexi walked into the kitchen of Johnny's home, looking at the meat paste in the pan, while Johnny put in bits of beef jerky in it too.

"This...is the type of food that can make you a man," Lexi stared up at her father, an incredulous look plastered onto her face as she shook her head unbelievably at her him. There was a knock on the door and Lexi was already subconsciously walking towards it, assuming that it was Miguel. But Lexi then remembered that he was out on a date with Sam, making her head spin with curiosity.

Opening the door, Lexi's eyes widened, seeing her brother there at the doorstep."Robby, hey, what are you doing here?"

"Hey Lex, is Dad home? I need to talk to him."

"Yeah, um, Dad!" Lexi turned around so she could find her father, but then she was suddenly facing the chest of Johnny, who was already at the door, the same curious look that was previously on her face was now on his.

"Hey, Robby. What's going on, do you want to come in?" Lexi's gaze drifted from Johnny to Robby, already sensing the tension of the two men between her.

"Hawk and some of your students have been bullying this kid. Tell them to stop or there'll be payback." Lexi's heart slumped, her suspicions of Hawk bullying kids again confirming to be true. At first, Lexi wanted to deny the allegations, but she knew if she did, then she would simply be lying to herself again.

"Look Robby, I'm going to talk to Hawk and tell him to stop. I didn't think he would do this again. I met Kenny, he's a good kid."

"I'm telling you, Lexi, Hawk doesn't deserve you. I knew there was something up with him when I first met him." Lexi glared at her brother slightly, not liking how he was talking bad about Hawk. When Lexi was with her boyfriend, she saw the side nobody saw in Hawk. She saw Eli, but that perspective might change.

At the drive-ins, Lexi was snuggled up to Hawk in his car, but there was evident tension between the two. Hawk tried to kiss her several times, but Lexi dodged them, her mind filled with nothing but the thought of Hawk bullying kids again.

"Hey, princess, are you okay? Did I do something—"

"No, I just- I need fresh air, okay? Do you want anything?" Lexi said somewhat quickly, causing Hawk  to feel even more suspicious of his girlfriend. He brushed it off for now and said he just wanted sour gummy worms before Lexi walked off to the food bar.

Luckily, the line wasn't too long so she didn't have to wait in the cold. Walking back to Hawk's car, Lexi saw a boy, who she recognized as Kenny from earlier and she noticed his arms were full of popcorn, candies, and sodas.

Lexi was about to run up to Kenny and help him hold the food, but before she could say hello, Hawk suddenly appeared out of nowhere and nudged Kenny harshly, making the boy drop everything on the concrete.

"Eli, what the hell?! Are you seriously being like this again?" Hawk turned around to face Lexi, a look he hated to see on her face. It was a mixture of disappointment and anger.

"What? He's in Cobra Kai," Hawk said, in a darker tone of voice. Lexi stumbled back slightly, Hawk rarely ever using this tone with her. Lexi scoffed, definitely confirming that the man she fell in love with, currently was gone. This was Hawk she was seeing, not her Eli.

" So what? That doesn't mean you have to be such a dick." Hawk seemed to be angered by this statement as he walked closer to Lexi, his eyes turning dark, the fear on Lexi's face becoming more noticeable.

"What did you just say to me?" Before Hawk could tower over Lexi completely, another figure walked in front of her, soon to notice that it was Robby who stood between Hawk and Lexi.

"Stay away from her," Robby said, standing protectively in front of his sister. Hawk stared at Robby, scoffing at the sight of his girlfriend's brother.

"Yeah, what are you going to do about it?" Hawk and Robby slowly got closer to one another, the evident toxic masculinity filling the air.

"Can you guys just stop?" Lexi said aggravatingly at her brother and boyfriend. "Eli, you want to know why I've been acting distant? I hope you remember the last time we broke up, I said I was not dating a bully and I kept my word for it. So clean up your act, or we're done."

Lexi saw the immediate change in Hawk's face as well as Robby's. Her boyfriend was obviously upset, while her brother had a proud look on his face, but Lexi was simply stressed and heartbroken about how this rivalry with the dojos was getting in the way with her friends and family.

"I'm going home. I'm tired of this rivalry bullshit." Lexi wanted to walk home, not wanting to be near anyone now.

"Let me drive you," both Hawk and Robby said instantaneously. One thing they could agree on is that they were definitely protective of Lexi. They glared at each other before walking off to chase after her.

"Don't even bother, I'm done with you guys." Lexi walked off faster, walking to Johnny's house since his was the closest. Alone time was definitely needed for the deprived teenager and tears were suddenly falling down her cheeks, not even knowing until tears hit the ground.

Lexi was done and everything was falling apart for her.
