               WILLOW SENT MIGUEL a murdering glance as he took the black sunglasses from her hands and put it on while they rode with Johnny in his new car that was now Cobra Kai styled. Her fingertips were patting on her lap and the two male's were bobbing their heads in sync with the music that blasted loudly inside the vehicle. The blonde girl had no idea what they were doing, but tried to act as if she could understand their actions, so she mocked the serious looks that were on their faces.

               And, well, the Froud girl definitely had to apologize to Blair for calling her a bad driver, because Johnny was much worse, so when she was sitting in the backseat of his car, she was fearing for her own life.

               "Finally," a sigh of relief escaped her lips as soon as the car stopped. With that, Johnny turned to her and raised his glasses for a moment just to raise one of his eyebrows suspiciously at her and then come back to his previous actions.

               Suddenly another car stopped next to them, making Willow glare at it and smile kindly at the two females that sat in it. She saw Miguel turn his head to them, so she rolled her eyes in amusement.

               "Don't look. Play it cool." the Lawrence man snapped him out of his trance, which caused Willow to mock the two's moves in sync with the music.

               Shortly thereafter, she begged to survive the ride as Johnny's car sped away with squealing tires. She really needed to make a whole list of people she should never ride with again.

└───❀*̥˚───❀*̥˚┘

               THE WAVY-HAIRED girl frowned when she walked into the dojo and the first thing she could hear was some stupid nicknames that her friends gave to the two boys she had met the other day. She rolled her eyes and faked a smile when she made her way towards them, seeing that Chris and Mitch didn't take the advice she had given them to their hearts. She wasn't surprised, though ── they just wanted to make friends with someone.

               "Did I say you could speak?" Hawk raised his voice harshly and Willow grimaced at it. When she stood right next to Chris, she raised her eyebrows, challenging the blue-haired boy to continue. He didn't, though. His eyes softened at the sight of the blonde girl and she sighed when she saw this. She really had no idea what to think after what Moon had told her.

               "Guys, look, they're just messing with you," Miguel joined them and gave Chris a high-five.

               "Thanks, man."

               A smile appeared on the boy's lips. "Besides, everyone knows your names are Assface and Douchebag."

               "Dibs on Assface," Mitch whispered to his best friend and Willow tried to stop the grin that started to show on her lips. She turned her attention to Bert, who smiled at her immediately, her returning it and ruffling his hair.

               Suddenly, the doorbell rang throughout the dojo, causing the girl to look in her direction and frown as she saw an older man walk in and look around, muttering to himself as he stopped in front of Nate and some other boys. This left only one thought in Willow's head.

               "Who's that?" Hawk asked, nodding his head to the man.

               Miguel was the first to answer. "I don't know."

               Willow cleared her throat. "Don't know about you, guys, but he's giving me a pedophile vibe."

               The Diaz boy gave the blonde girl a single look before the two walked towards the man, who did the same. Willow felt extremely uncomfortable when his gaze fell on her, but she stopped herself from grimacing and flinching. She already learned from the others that flinching in the dojo was a big mistake.

               "Uh, morning?" Willow spoke hesitantly and the man's smirk grew wider, which made her go silent again.

               "Can I help you, sir?"

               The man scanned the boy before answering. "No. But maybe I can help you." he then turned his eyes to the blonde girl, who raised her eyebrows in a mocking way. "Ahh, Sean's daughter I see. You look just like your father." he added.

               Willow felt her jaw clench straight away at the sentence. She wanted everything, but being compared to her father. She wasn't like him ── not really. She would never do the things he did.

               "How do you know my father?" she asked after a while, her voice cold. He chuckled shortly in response, which made her narrow her eyes in disorientation. What the hell was wrong with him?

               "Hey," Johnny spoke from behind, ending the conversation between these two. Willow turned to him, sending him a questioning glare, who wanted nothing more than explanations. "I told you to not mention him to her." he muttered to the man, who made his way towards him immediately. Willow snorted.

               She didn't know, who he was, but she already didn't like him.

└───❀*̥˚───❀*̥˚┘

               ❝CLASS, WE have a visitor," Johnny walked out of his office once again and with that Willow straightened her position up, putting her hands behind her back. She managed to stop herself from scoffing at the sight of the man she had met earlier ── his presence annoyed her. "This is Mr. Kreese. He's just an observer. Pretend like he's not even here." when he said that, he glared at the young Froud and gave her a small nod, which she returned.

               When Miguel took place in front of the students, Willow's face expression grew serious. She bowed to him with the rest of the class and then got into her fighting position.

               "Front kick, yuh," the boy ordered and they repeated his move immediately. "Front strike, yuh," he said, the rest following his next command. "Side dab, yuh!" with that, Willow blinked several times as she watched her friends side dab, her being the only person that didn't. She was pretty much confused for her mind to process what just happened.

               "What the hell was that?" the Lawrence man spoke, making the rest stop laughing. Willow's mouth kept being opened in surprise as she still didn't understand what was going on.

               Miguel's face grew serious. "We're just messing around. We have eleven and a half months until the next All Valley," he reminded the man.

               "Yeah, besides, we already know how to kick ass." the Moskowitz added and the rest chuckled shortly. Willow elbowed him quickly as she was the embarrassment and angriness on Johnny's face.

               "Oh, yeah, really, huh? So you know everything? There's nothing left to learn, huh?" he mocked and Aisha couldn't stop herself from giggling. Willow, hearing that, covered her face with her hands in embarrassment.

               "What's so funny, Miss Robinson?"

               Aisha shook her head. "I'm sorry, Sensei. You just wouldn't understand."

               "Try me."

               "It's a snake-doo." she answered after a moment and her friends tried to stop themselves from bursting out in laughter.

               "What's a snake-doo?"

               As a result, the whole class began to hiss like snakes, making it with their hands. Willow stopped herself from joining in as she saw the blonde man's anger get bigger. That definitely wasn't going the good way.

               "Quiet!" Johnny shouted, silencing his students. "Five a.m. tomorrow morning. Corner of Fulton and Raymer. You don't show and you're off the team." he warned.

               "Class dismissed."

               Willow groaned in dissatisfaction and turned to her teammates with a murderous look on her face. "I'm going to shave your heads, guys. How the hell am I supposed to do my whole skincare so early, huh?"

└───❀*̥˚───❀*̥˚┘

               THE GREEN-EYED GIRL exhaled heavily as she pushed strands of hair away from her face and then returned to mixing cement with Miguel and Hawk. Seeing this, Johnny walked over and held out his hand, causing her to frown in confusion. She had no idea what he meant.

               He rolled his eyes slightly and an unpleasant groan escaped his lips. "Give me this, uh, this thing you girls put in your hair," he commanded and the blonde opened her lips in realization.

               "You mean a hair tie, Sensei?" she questioned and he snorted, waving her off with his hand.

               "Yeah, this funny thing. Give me this tie something," he hurried. Willow nodded her head and pulled off a purple scrunchie from her hand. After that, she threw it at the man, who caught it at the last moment. "Now, uh, turn around. It can't be that hard, yeah?" he muttered to himself.

               Willow was already beginning to regret letting Johnny style her hair. A soft, painful hiss escaped her lips several times as the man tugged at her hair before finally styling it into a loose ponytail. With that, she sighed in relief and stepped back from Johnny, not sure if she wanted to know what she looked like now. The only thing she was sure of was that she'd end up with a mess of hair.

               "Sensei, why are we mixing cement?" Miguel spoke as soon as Willow stood between him and Hawk again.

               "No questions. All right. Keep stirring." he ordered firmly and walked towards Kreese.

               The blonde girl sent a murderous glare to the back of his head before her gaze turned to Hawk, who was already eyeing her with his eyebrows a little furrowed. She sent him a questioning look, which made him look away immediately.

               "You're wearing my sweater," he mentioned after a moment of uncertainty, causing Willow to also look at what she was wearing.

               And yes, she was wearing the sweater he gave her when she helped him dye his hair blue.

               She nodded her head slightly. "Oh, yeah. I── picked the first thing that got out of my closet." she explained, shrugging.

               He smiled in response. "You look pretty wearing it."

               "Thanks."

               With that, the blonde girl suddenly ran toward Bert to help him up. Eli watched her from a distance, a small smile appearing on his lips before he looked away, cursing under his breath as he realized what he had just done. He wasn't supposed to react to her like this — not after telling himself that he and Willow were never meant to be, and not after he got a girlfriend. He had Moon and he was happy with her, so why would his mind still go crazy all the time Willow was around? Why didn't he feel this way when he was with Moon?

               Miguel elbowed him, pulling him out of his trance and giving him a teasing look. "You're sure that you don't like her anymore, huh?"

               Hawk bit his cheek before looking at Willow once again. "Oh, shut up."

└───❀*̥˚───❀*̥˚┘

               ❝YOU THINK WINNING the All Valley gives you the right to goof off?" Johnny asked his students as they all stood in front of the cement truck that arrived some minutes ago. Willow bit her lips in nervousness when her fingertips clenched on the material of the sweater she was wearing — she was starting to doubt even more about their punishment being not that bad.

               "Well, I got news for you," the man added, taking a few steps towards them before he spoke again. "Winning one championship don't mean squat. A true champion never stops training — you gotta keep moving forward or else you could get stuck exactly where you are. It's like cement in this truck. If that drum doesn't start turning, the cement inside will harden and get stuck. Is that what you want to happen?" he raised his voice.

               His students answered immediately. "No, Sensei!"

               "Good. Then climb up, get inside and make it spin." he ordered firmly, pointing at the cement truck. Willow's eyes widened in total shock. Was this man out of his mind?

               The Froud girl shook her head immediately. There was no way that she was getting inside the truck — she wasn't going to pay for someone's actions again. With that, it was clear for her that if someone would want to pull her there by force, she would be ready to fight them.

               "Sensei, we're sorry for messing around." Aisha spoke first, Hawk and the rest following her.

               "We learned our lesson."

               Johnny didn't listen to them, though. He opened the white ladder that led to the center of the truck. Willow scoffed, disbelief washing all over her face.

               "Get in!" he repeated.

               The blonde girl blinked several times. "Sensei, quick question," she announced, and he raised his eyebrows, which told her to continue. "Do I have to do fifty push-ups if I say no?" she questioned, a hope filling her whole body.

               It didn't last pretty long, though. "Hell yeah, you do, Thumbelina."

               Willow groaned in dissatisfaction. "Oh, hell nah, man. I'm getting in." she started walking forward, but Miguel placed his hand on her shoulder, stopping her. She side-eyed him.

               "Sensei, this seems kind of dangerous. I mean, the fumes . . ."

               "Quiet!"

               This time it wasn't Johnny, who yelled. It was Kreese and that fact annoyed Willow even more. Something about that man seemed strange to her.

               "This man led you to the mountain top, and you question him? Look at you. Look at all of you. I can't believe this pathetic pack of pussies competed in the All Valley and let alone won. It's an absolute miracle. And who's responsible for that miracle?" he asked and pointed at their Sensei after a while. "Johnny Lawrence. The best student in the history of Cobra Kai. My student."

               Everything clicked then — Willow realized everything. Despite everything, she still didn't like the presence of this man. Guess, she's starting to become his hater.

               "You were Sensei's Sensei?" Hawk spoke and the blonde girl face-palmed herself.

               "You better believe it, kid. And I tell you I've never trained a tougher student in my whole life, so if you know what's good for you, you better listen to every goddamn word he says." he muttered.

               Willow watched as Miguel stepped forward.

               "I'll do it, Sensei."

               Johnny nodded and Miguel walked towards the ladder, starting to climb it. A sigh escaped Willow's lips as she followed after the Diaz with Hawk being next to her. The Froud stopped in front of the ladder, though, and turned to the blonde man, who frowned.

               "Uh, Sensei, can you keep an eye on my bracelets? Please?" she asked him and he quickly gave her a nod. With that, she pulled the bracelets from her hand and put it on the Lawrence's hand. "Thanks."

               She grabbed the white ladder and exhaled heavily before starting to climb it, praying for her own life. Hawk and Miguel were already inside, so she hoped that it wasn't that bad.

               Johnny's voice stopped her in the middle. "Don't make it easy for them. Trick them or something,"

               Willow grinned in excitement. "Yes, Sensei."

               When the girl walked inside the truck, she slipped right away. A heavy groan escaped her lips when she felt the melted cement being already on most of her clothes and on her favorite sweater. As she finally managed to stand up and take a place next to Hawk, she used his help to balance herself from falling again. She sent him an innocent smile before she did something that suddenly came into her mind.

               She kicked his leg out from under him, but didn't really expect him to take her down with him. So she ended up in the melted cement with the blue-haired boy who had a murderous look on his face.

               "What the fuck?" he spoke, his voice being a mix of shock and confusion.

               "Whoops, I did it again." she commented, stabilizing herself as she tried to stand up. When she did that, she extended her hand to her best friend, helping him to his feet.

               "Fuck you, Willow," was the last thing she heard from the boy after he made her fall once again.

               "Eli, freaking, Moskowitz!"

└───❀*̥˚───❀*̥˚┘

               ❝DON'T JUST stand there. You wanna get stuck? Move!" Johnny shouted at them when they were standing inside the truck with the rest of the students, who finally decided to join the two. Hearing him, Willow made small steps towards the wall that was in front of them, being afraid that she'll fall into the melted cement once again — she already had enough after Hawk was sweeping her leg from under her for minutes as revenge.

               Painful groans of the teenagers were heard in the truck as they tried to push their way out. Willow started slipping once again, but was suddenly caught by the Moskowitz boy, who nodded her way and then touched the wall of the truck once again.

               "Let's go, guys! Move it!" Johnny motivated them from outside.

               "Come on! All of you, let's go!"

               Willow was out of breath when she tried not to get stuck in the cement, who made it even harder for her to move.

               "Come on, Assface! Don't just stand there!" Hawk scolded Mitch as all of them tried to move the truck.

               "Come on, guys! I want to finally go back to my bed," Willow shouted, using all of her strength to push.

               And, after some time, the truck finally started moving.

               "All right. There we go! There we go! A little bit faster!" the Lawrence man yelled and Willow tried to do what he said so. She groaned along with the others, feeling the pain in her whole body. After that, she definitely deserved a massage.

               "Keep pushing! All together!"

               The Froud girl clenched her jaw as she grabbed the back of Bert's shirt and raised him up with one of her hands again, this time not having the strength to even laugh, seeing how the others started to fall.

               "Come on, get up, man! Keep pushing! Keep pushing!"

               "You got this guys! Let's go!"

               Hearing Johnny, they continued their moves, doing their best not to stop themselves. Willow grimaced, being out of breath as she watched the truck move faster and faster.

               "That's it! That's it!"

               "Can I finally get out of here?" Willow screamed back as she heard the others clapping.

└───❀*̥˚───❀*̥˚┘

             ❝YOU SHOULD all be proud of yourself. I know I'm proud," Johnny said and Willow closed her eyes hard as he sprayed water right into her face. She grimaced as soon as the thought of her blonde hair being covered with a melted cement appeared in her mind, causing her to touch it and grimace when she really felt the cement on it — she just washed them before leaving.

               "Your parents would be proud too if you told them what we did here today, which we won't. You pushed forward like champions. Never stopping. Never being satisfied. Never giving up," Johnny continued, finally leaving the Froud and splashing now Mitch's face. "And if you keep pushing and keep moving forward, you're gonna go to places you never even dreamed of." with that, Miguel and Willow looked at themselves in sync, smiling and nodding their heads at each other.

               A few seconds later, Willow took advantage of Johnny's lack of concentration and grabbed the hose from his hands, spraying the water first at the rest of the students and then at Hawk's blue mohawk. When he realized what had happened, he opened his eyes in shock.

               "Willow Froud, when I catch you!"
