and that was the moment

╚════════════════. .❀.╝

ALYSSA STEPPED OUT of her car, Moon and Demetri in tow, staring up at the sports center that had people walking in and out of. It was the day of the All Valley tournament, and she was there to show her support for Cobra Kai . . . okay, maybe not Cobra Kai, because she still hated that strike first strike hard no mercy bullshit, but she was there to support her friends.

Things were still impossibly weird between her and Eli. She didn't understand why he had acted up, especially towards her, the night of the party. And she also kind of regretted calling him a dick (emphasis on kind of — he was acting like a dick.) The two hadn't really talked about it at all and were just acting civil, but anyone could see the tension brewing between them beneath the surface.

Which is why Eli's mohawk was the first think she looked for. She found it, quite easily, standing in front of the sports center with the other members of Cobra Kai.

Might as well extend the olive branch. She didn't want to live in this weird sort of thing she had going on with Eli anymore of not talking about their issues and just trying to ignore them. They were never like that, and she definitely didn't want them to start being like that.

"Hey, I'll be right back," Alyssa told the other two. "I'll catch up inside."

"We'll save you a seat," Moon promised, her usual radiant smile on her face.

Moon and her had actually rapidly become friends once Alyssa started to hang around each other. She truly was an absolute sweetheart who always saw the good in people, and Alyssa couldn't help but love her.

Alyssa couldn't help but smile back at her. "Thanks. Be right back."

While Moon and Demetri went up to the doors, Alyssa steered herself over to the Cobra Kai's. Her stomach churned with nerves, although she didn't really know why she was so nervous. She wiped her sweaty palms against the jeans she was wearing as she got closer. Alyssa let out a deep breath as she stopped next to Eli.

"Hey," Alyssa greeted quietly, making Eli look over at her, almost questioningly. "How are you feeling? About the tournament, I mean. Big day."

"Fine," Eli answered. "Kind of weird, but fine."

"That's good." Alyssa cleared her throat. "I — um, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for the other night at the party, for calling you a dick and stuff. And for doing anything that upset you, it was just . . . a really weird night."
