▪︎ Miguel - Challenger Pt. 1 ▪︎

Ok, this is my first attempt at writing for Miguel... I'm not entirely sure how this will go...

Warning: There's literally a whole fight scene in this imagine.
____________________________________________
I watch as Miguel kicks my brother on the side of his right cheek, causing him to fall. Him and my brother, Eli Moskowitz, fought a couple times. It was a tie until the 3rd round, but Miguel won.

I try to act like I'm reading my book, when in reality I'm watching them and trying to absorb the moves. I enjoy learning Karate, but I'm a little worried to ask my mom if I can join since she's not a huge fan of how Hawk's been acting. I've been paying Hawk to teach me a few pointers, but other than that, I watch others and teach myself.

I stare at Miguel as he helps my brother back up off the ground, and then heads over to talk to Aisha Robinson. My brother comes walking over to me, a big, stupid grin is on his face. He picks up his water bottle and takes a sip.

"How'd I do?" He asks me, chugging down his water.

"You did good until you got kicked in the face." I smile at him. Hawk rolls his eyes.

"Why don't you go up against someone? I've seen you throw some punches and kicks... and you always brag about how much better you've been doing on your own." Hawk says, raising an eyebrow and staring me down.

"The only person I've actually fought was you and that was a month ago!" I exclaim, shutting my book, and lightly setting on a glass side table.

"What? Scared of getting your ass kicked?" Hawk says, setting his water bottle down next to my book. He looks over at me and grabs my wrist, not roughly or painfully, but enough for me to not be able to move away from him. "Listen, you know you should be in Cobra Kai."

"I can't do that to mom." I mumble, yanking my hand so harshly that Hawk let's go.

"Then at least fight Miguel." Hawk says. "I'll leave you alone if you beat him." Hawk and I turn our heads over to Miguel who's laughing and joking with a few of the other students.

"You want me to fight him? Start planning my funeral while you can." I chuckle lightly. Hawk doesn't laugh.

"Are you gonna do it or not-?" He exclaims.

"You won't bother me again?" I ask.

"Yes, I will never bother you about joining Cobra Kai again, but if you lose you're joining." He says. I freeze. That wasn't apart of the deal. Before I can even say no Hawk says something. "Listen, mom won't get mad... just... please, and for all you know, you could win." It's not that I don't want to join, I do... I just don't think our mom could actually handle it. When Eli became Hawk, it kind of hurt our mom.

"Fine..." I roll my eyes. I follow up with, "And you won't let me die?" I ask, stealing some of Hawk's water.

"You aren't gonna die in the first place!" Hawk grumbles. He gets up and walks over to Miguel. I stand up and stretch a bit. "Miguel! You have a new opponent!"

"Really?" Miguel smiles a bit.

"Yeah." Hawk smiles and points to me.

"Your sister? She doesn't even take karate." Miguel says.

"She's been practicing on her own. She's not half bad, but I still think you can take her out." He laughs a bit. "And, there's a deal. If she wins, I'll stop bothering her to join Cobra Kai. If she loses, she has to join."

"I don't want to hurt your sister." Miguel says.

"It's okay. This will be good practice. I'll get to see what it's like to fight someone." I smile, taking off my sweater and placing on the chair I was just sitting on. Miguel stares at me for a moment before agreeing.

"Okay, let's do this." He says, giving in. We stand across from each other, fighting position. My heart races and I instantly can't focus.

"Fight!" Hawk shouts. Without even thinking, Miguel kicks me in the stomach, knocking all the air out of me. Before I can fall, I catch myself with my hands. I push myself back up and get back into fighting position. I swing, but miguel ducks down. Miguel tries to jab me, but I move to the right. In an instant, I swing my leg, doing a roundhouse kick and Miguel gets pushed back.

He spins forward, moving right next to me, before I can move, he punches my side. It hurts, but I have to keep moving. Miguel kicks his leg, hoping to hit me for a second time, but I grab his leg. I know I can't flip him, he's too heavy, so I twist his leg instead. He squeals a bit, but holds most of it back. Then I sweep my leg, kicking his other leg that's holding him up. I let go of the leg I'm holding, causing him to almost fall, but just as I did, he catches himself on his hands and knees.

"For someone who's almost completely self taught, that's impressive." He smiles a devilish smile.

"Thanks, but I still haven't won." I laugh a bit. I go in for a punch, but he grabs my arm twisting it and pulling me into a chock hold. I've seen a few different ways on how to get out of this, but I decide to do this my way. I take my free arm and and jam it into Miguel's side, then bringing my fist up to his face. He squirms, but doesn't let go, so I push all of my body force back, causing both of us to fall ontop of one another.

Now we're both on the ground. Hawk yells at us to get back up, but I'm tired. I've never done this much fighting. The two of us scramble back up onto our feet. We try to punch and kick each other a few more times, ducking as well as getting hit.

I kick Miguel one more time harshly in the stomach, just as he did to me. He loses his breath and then grumbles. Then he smiles again. He grabs one of my arms, spinning me so my back faces him, then he grabs my other arm so I'm trapped. He knees me in the back, causing me to lose my balance. At that exact moment, he let's go of my hands, causing me to fall on my face and not be able to save myself.

He walks over to me and lightly steps on my back. Everyone screams loudly, not just chanting Miguel's name, but mine too. Miguel takes his foot off me and I flip over. He sticks his hand out and I grab it tightly. He pulls me up back onto my feet in one harsh pull.

"(Y/N), that was really good." He says. "I can't wait to fight you again."

"Next time I'll beat you." I smile at him and shake his hand firmly. I look up into his eyes. He's about two inches taller then me. We stare at each other for a moment. Suddenly Hawk runs over to us and grabs my hand lifting it up.

"Meet our newest Cobra Kai member!" He shouts, as Miguel let's go of my hand and claps. He gives me a thumbs up and then goes over to get water. I wipe the sweat off my forehead and hug Hawk.
