CHARLIE ADJUSTED HER KNEE-HIGH SOCKS WITH HER FREE HAND, taking a seat beside Demetri on the bench. Though she couldn't participate given the cast, she still had to follow the dress code.
Her gaze fixed on Alyssa, who was talking with Moon a couple feet away from her. The two girls began laughing, causing Charlie's face to break into a grin.
"These gym shorts pinch in all the wrong places." Demetri grumbled.
"Come on, have a little school spirit." Sam chimed in as she pulled up her own socks.
"Oh yeah, go mountain lions!" Demetri sarcastically exclaimed, before pretending to roar.
Suddenly, there was a commotion as the Cobra Kai students made their way through the crowd, causing Charlie to shake her head in disapproval. Her smile quickly faded, and she looked down at her lap.
"Hey, you okay?" Sam asked, patting Charlie's shoulder when she noticed. The girl just nodded, offering a smile instead of speaking.
Demetri, however, didn't take his eyes away from them, "I wish we could do something about those cretins."
"We can," Sam assured him.
"How?" Demetri turned to face her, "Counselor Blatt will give us detention just for breathing near them."
Sam glanced around, not spotting the woman anywhere, "I don't see her anywhere, so you? Besides, what's a soccer game without a little physical contact? They think were doormats, let's prove them wrong."
The group nodded in agreement, except for Charlie, who seemed to be contemplating the situation. Sam addressed her directly, understanding her hesitation, "You don't have to be on board with this, Charlie. We understand."
"No, it's fine," she quickly dismissed her doubts with a wave of her hand. "Go for it. Good luck."
Sam nodded, wearing a determined smile, and led the group onto the field.
Charlie leaned back on the bench, her eyes fixed on their every moves. She observed as the match unfolded, with Sam already making her moves against one of the Cobra Kai students.
A chuckle escaped Charlie's lips as she watched the brunette step on the boy's torso, making him slam his fist into the ground with frustration.
Then, she watched as Hawk scored his first goal, celebrating with a yell. He noticed Charlie watching him and despite her words earlier, he winked at her, attempting to lighten the tension between them.
However, she simply looked away, she meant what she said.
Pulling out her phone, Charlie sent a text to Robby, telling him that she would visit later and that she couldn't answer his call right now.
