Just like you would to your girl or guy"

Andi was furious.

No, furious isn't the right word to describe what the brunette was thinking. She wasn't angry- she was pissed. 

Andi hadn't spoken to Eli in three days. 

Sure, it was entirely based off her own merit- but that didn't mean anything. 

She almost felt bad for icing the boy out completely- until she realized that a friendship goes both ways. If he truly valued her as at least a friend- he would have tried to make contact.

It wasn't exactly hard to get in touch with the girl. Sure, she didn't have Instagram- but her number hadn't changed. He could have called or texted her at any time. 

It's not like she texted him 53 times when she knew he was hurting- but whatever. 

What hurt her most about this situation though, was the fact that she knew Eli could talk to her whenever he wanted. She saw him every single day and always caught his gazing leaving hers.

Whether it was at school, where he now sat away from her in classes in exchange for flirting with the pretty girls, or when Andi would drop Miguel off at Cobra Kai practices. She always saw him, and he never noticed her. 

Not a call, not a text, nothing. 

It was affecting Andi more than she would like to admit, and the only person who seemed to notice was Demetri.

Even now, she sat in the crowded classroom trying her best to focus on the PSAT in front of her- but she had so much on her mind she just couldn't. 

Damn it she thought. This meant she would surely have to take the PSAT again- which was no easy feat.

Turns out, Andrea wasn't the only Diaz teen who had a lot on their mind during the exam. 

Miguel couldn't stop thinking about Samantha. His senseis rivalry with her father- and the fact that she was most likely hiding him from her father. 

Andi could always tell when Miguel was off his game, and boy- this was it. 

The night before the PSAT the two siblings had sat together outside their apartment drinking sunny D and talking about their problems like they used to do all the time.

It had been a long time since the two siblings were able to hang out with each other like that- especially since Miguel got on his Karate high. 

As they conversed, Andi made sure not to make any specific comments about why she was upset. Miguel knew Andi was dealing with boy trouble- but he didn't know who it was... 

Andrea intended to keep it this way as long as she could. This being because this was the first time Miguel actually knew who Andi was crushing on- she wasn't ready for that awkward conversation just yet. 

Now she simply sat in the white room- trying so hard to focus on her PSAT- but her mind was filled with the thought of the boy who wasn't there.

Eli hadn't shown up to take his test. 

The boy she used to know would never skip such an important exam- but Andi kept having to remind herself this wasn't the boy she knew, this was Hawk.
