The air inside of Crystal Prep was the same as usual as Hawk walked towards his locker to get his books. The air wasn’t tense, but it was discouraging. It was like the students there wanted you to fail. He was already familiar with that feeling because of Flash and simply smiled at it as he knew it would throw the others off guard. He had forgotten to take his books home from his first day and was a little bit behind study wise, but he could easily get himself up so it wasn’t that much of a big deal. Plus, he did not have any tests that very day.

The bluish and indigos structure and colour in Crystal Prep made it look like a beautiful school and extremely prestigious. Hawk did not know his parents very well before they died, but he remembered that he had a lot of fun with them, but he had early memories of when he was in a building with other children that was like a kindergarten but you slept there during the night. He did not remember if that was something he had signed himself up for or if his parents wanted him to try some new hobby.

He remembered that he was then overjoyed for the fact that his parents came one time and picked him up and they were happy for the next few years until the car crash happened. He felt sorrow as he thought about his parents who were extremely loving and caring. He had not felt like himself since that day when they died. He was all alone in the world and the authorities had tried to put him into a foster home. Why would he want to go there? He ran away from a few foster homes and eventually he was living on the streets, trying to find a way to live.

He had broken into a few houses, trying to find food or money, but he found the food at least. He then started middle school and he did not want to be friends with anyone. Well, he had already been in middle school but he had been away for a few weeks since he did not want to admit that his parents were fully gone. That was also the time he had broken into houses for food and money. He did not regret it as he did not have a source of income.

Hawk sighed as his legs carried him towards history class. The footsteps in the halls were loud and clear as the other students chatted with one another. Hawk sighed as he had received a call from Pipsqueak saying that Sunset had been attacked from behind and had been beaten up. He wished he could go to CHS right now, but he did not have a proper excuse as to why he would be there if he were to be caught by anyone. Besides, he wanted to have good grades and wanted to go to a very good college to have more opportunities.

When he reached the history classroom, he noticed that Lemon Zest was there, listening to her music like usual. He smiled a little bit as he walked down towards her. The school seats were in four different lanes and most of them were not even full as the class did not start until another fifteen minutes. He sat down to Lemon Zest’s right and smiled at her. When she noticed him, she smiled widely at him and gave him a bone-crushing hug. Hawk laughed as she was a friendlier version of Pinkie Pie.

“Yo! What’s up Hawk?” Lemon Zest exclaimed quietly as to not disturb her other peers. Hawk chuckled as he liked her personality. He and Sunny Flare had gotten to know each other very well, and she did not mind him being with the other girls as she knew he would never cheat on her. But, if Hawk wasn’t in a relationship, he would definitely have many babes with him as if he was in some sort of polygamy relationship. Goddamn that he lived on the wrong side of the country! Oh well, what others doesn’t know can’t hurt. right?

“Everything was fine until this morning, Lemon.” Hawk replied, and he got a dark look in his eyes as he turned to fully face Lemon who had by now grown concerned for her friend. “Tory was jumped from the back on her way to Canterlot High, she suffered some injuries and Pipsqueak decided to help her. Luckily, the injuries weren’t serious, but she could have been really hurt if it wasn’t for Pipsqueak. Tory had control of the situation, but a little help wasn’t bad, right? She actually texted Pipsqueak while she was still fighting her foe. I wonder how that works.”

Lemon Zest could not believe her ears. Tory had been jumped from behind? She may be a Cobra Kai but that is straight-up cowardice if you want to fight with honour. Their sensei always spoke about how ‘back in his day’ you wanted to fight someone, you did it with honour and respect for the enemy. That was the way for them, but now, teenagers barely have respect for one another. Lemon got a dark look on her face after what she had just heard. If she could: she would run out of the classroom and find Tory to make sure she is okay. She would make sure she got safely to her first class or until she saw other Cobra Kai’s.

“Who is the motherfucker that did it?” Lemon asked, not caring aíf anyone heard her swear. Hawk looked at her with a hint of surprise, then at the wall to his left and sighed a little bit. He didn’t actually know who it was. It could be anyone for all he knew. Hawk looked at lemon Zest again and saw that her brilliant amber eyes shone with complete and utter anger. Her light greyish amaranth skin turned a shade darker, or that is what it looked like. Hawk gulped inwardly. Lemon Zest could be terrifying when she wanted to be.

“I don’t know, Pipsqueak only said she was jumped, he never actually gave me any names to go by.” Hawk calmly replied but inside, he was raging. Tory was a part of them now, she was one of them. A fighter, someone who could defend herself from people like the Rainbooms. Hawk noticed that Lemon Zest became a little angrier, but it was concealed by her impassive expression. She was good at making those.

“Well, then, it seems like we will have to find out after school,” Lemon stated, making Hawk nod in agreement. He looked ahead of him and saw that the clock that was up on the wall above the whiteboard was eight twenty. He did not see the teacher anywhere.

“Where the heck is the teacher? Shouldn’t that loaf be here?” Hawk questioned, making Lemon chuckle a little bit. Hawk tended to be mean, but it always sounded funny. Lemon looked at the clock and saw that the lesson should have started a long time ago. She sighed as she was getting bored and her music was not helping her very much.

“I don’t know, perhaps he is late?” Lemon questioned as she saw the other students walk inside of the classroom and take their seats. Hawk simply nodded as he looked ahead of him. Suddenly, the teacher with brownish-green hair walked inside with red skin and wore the teachers’ version of the Crystal Prep Academy school uniform. His eyes were pure yellow and looked like they held knowledge. His cheekbones were sharp and his face was expressionless, not showing a single emotion. Hawk was impressed. He had never seen a teacher like this before. They usually were, all the same, spoke the same, acted the same and were just plain annoying, but this one was different.

“I apologise for being late, students, your old teacher was requested for a different school for a full month. I will be taking his place for this month and I will make sure that when you leave this classroom today that you will know to survive Word War III and re-live the past because it will eventually lead to that. Having to start over and all that rubbish.” The substitute teacher explained and Hawk thought he had finally lost it. World War III? Not happening. Or, it was possible...

The rest of the students felt uneasy as they felt the air around him being tense, they were used to Sombra’s tenseness, but this substitute, he was something much more different. He was beyond tense. It was like he was expecting something to happen even though he was in a classroom full of teenagers. They felt bad if he had a kid that was a girl and that she had a boyfriend. If he had that then they felt sorry for the dude on the first meeting. Hawk was happy that he was not dating someone the substitute was related to.

“Pull out your history books and go to page sixty-seven. We will be reading about the Cold War.” He said, making the students immediately pull them up, no questions asked. They could already tell that he was ‘no bullshit’ type of person and knew what would happen if they did not follow his orders. Lemon Zest did not look threatening, but she seemed a little bit on edge. The substitute noticed this but didn’t say anything or leave any sort of snarky comment. Hawk was also tense from this substitute. He liked him, he reminded him of Sombra.

The class continued for another hour that felt rather like an eternity. The classroom was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop to the floor. Everyone read their history book and did not say anything. They simply read and took notes for their homework and test that would eventually come. They left that classroom when the bell rang and the substitute had a very thin smile as he watched them leave. He knew why they were all so tense, it was because he was himself. Without the students knowing it, he made them more aware of their surroundings.

Hawk and Lemon walked together to their next class as they were in the same one. Originally, Sunny Flare had been the one who was in all of Hawk’s classes, but she then had to change her schedule so it ended up being Lemon and Hawk being together. Hawk felt his legs march towards the classroom of his next class and Lemon felt the same. They felt more alert after they were with the substitute. Hawk noticed how the substitute kept looking at Hawk and Lemon though, it was as if he was looking at them the whole time.

It was a possibility that the substitute either was impressed with the fact that Hawk wasn’t as tensed up as the others, or it could be that he saw him in the tournament. It did not matter as either option was very possible and likely. When they reached their next class which was English. Hawk walked into the class and saw that the classroom was the same as all the other classrooms. Hawk sat somewhere in the middle and Lemon sat near the front. They could still see each other and could communicate if they needed to.

The school bench that Hawk sat on had something carved to the left side and Hawk turned his head to see it. There was a heart that had the initials SF+SHD. Hawk wondered who this couple was but ignored it. It wasn’t any of his business, and he did not have the time to figure something like that out either. He saw that other students walked into the class and he prepared himself for this boring long class. The teacher walked in with a sour expression on her face and Hawk groaned. It would be one of “those” lessons again.

By lunchtime, Hawk had finished all of his homework and only had two more lessons before it was time for looking for Tory’s enemies. Hawk had a plan in mind when he finds the one’s that did it. He would find them, beat them up, and then he would destroy their house with spray paint and toilet paper. They would feel the wrath of the Cobra...

At lunch, Hawk had brought with him a smoothie and was drinking it and felt the vitamins enter his body. He was pretty amazed by how quick it was to give him energy. His girlfriend Sunny Flare was walking up to him and she did not look happy. Hawk had taken a seat with Lemon Zest and Indigo Zap that had finished their lessons early. Hawk was afraid that he had done something wrong, but when she reached the table he sighed a little in relief in his mind. It was not him she was angry at. “Are you serious, Hawk? Did Tory really get beaten up by some Wondercolt motherfuckers?” Sunny Flare demanded, she even swore which was unusual for her, but ever since she joined Cobra Kai, she has allowed herself to get more, loose.

“Yes, Sunny, she was beaten up but I don’t know if it was some Wondercolts. For all we know, it could have been an attempted kidnapping by some other idiots trying to earn some money on the black market.” Hawk theorised as he hoped to calm Sunny Flare down from her anger. She grabbed the table on Hawk’s side who was sitting to Lemon Zest’s left. Everyone felt her anger radiating off from her as if she was carrying all bottle up emotions. That is never a good sign, to begin with.

It felt like an eternity as Hawk saw Sunny Flare calm down. The girl did so and sat down to Hawk’s left and kissed him on the mouth with passion as to show she was not angry at him. Hawk blushed but calmed down. Sunny Flare also had a blush and she then felt like she had done something major taboo. She then calmed down a little bit as Hawk did not look at her differently, in fact, she looked at her with more interest. Hawk continued drinking his smoothie and he did not notice that he had received knowing smirks from Lemon Zest and Indigo Zap.

“How is she anyway?” Indigo asked Hawk as he drank the smoothie that had a green colour. It tasted horrible, but it was good for the body. Hawk looked at her first with confusion, then with realization.

“She is understandably angry. From what I heard from Pipsqueak: She walked through Canterlot High and looked for all known bullies and beat the living shit out of all of them. She was then called to the principal's office for the violence and have been suspended for the rest of today.” Hawk explained gaining nods from everyone around him. Lemon Zest looked at him questioning.

“Hawk, how did you know all that? You only said she was jumped this morning, you did not have this much information before.” Lemon stated and the others looked at Hawk again and he got a sheepish grin on his face.

“I may or may not have gotten bored in English, and decided to text Pipsqueak instead.” Indigo snickered while Sunny Flare smacked him at the back of the head in a mother-like fashion. Lemon Zest gave him a wide grin while Sunny looked at her disapprovingly. She could not believe that her boyfriend just got bored in an easy class and decided to text a friend.

“Hawk, you gotta be joking!” Sunny huffed irritatedly. Hawk did his best to shrink into his seat while Indigo and Lemon gulped and tried their best to not make eye contact. Sunny was too busy glaring at them that she did not notice that the Dean had walked up behind them.

“Miss Flare?” Sunny Flare tensed up when she heard the voice of the Dean. She had no problems with her at all, it was just that she could not afford to get in trouble, if she did then it would be a slight bit harder for her to enter any college. She turned around to face the Dean with an impassive look. She felt guilty about putting it on for a woman who is nothing but kind to her, but there was a hierarchy within the school that every student had to follow and that was something she took very seriously. When she faced the Dean she was faced with a gorgeous woman with a dark turquoise skirt, gold yellow shoes, light blue shirt that was covered by a dark blue jacket that had a crystal heart by her left side chest with goldish stalks around it in a circular manner. The Dean’s eyes were light greyish purple that was currently shining into Sunny Flare. The Dean’s hair was purple rose and gold that were in a streak that made her look more stunning. She was light greyish cerise in her skin.

The Dean noticed that Hawk was there and was confused as to why he looked like he was trying to hide. She hoped that Sunny Flare wasn’t bullying anyone. She did know that Hawk or formerly known as Spike had been mean to her sister-in-law but she knew that he most likely had a reason for it. She wasn’t angry at him because she has not heard his side of the story yet. Her husband, Shining Armor had no clue, but Twilight Sparkle had spoken to her and told her what Hawk had said. She had been first, angry with him and wanted to give a piece of her mind, but she then realized that she had not heard Hawk’s side of the story either, so she could be accusing him of something that could simply be a large misunderstanding. She was hoping to speak to him soon.

Actually, when she thought about it, now is a great time. She could get to know him and his situation. She looked at Hawk who felt her staring at her and raised a brow. “Hawk, would it be alright if you followed me please?” Dean Cadance asked in a sweet and gentle voice. She did not want him to feel on edge. She knew that the discussion they would have would make him tense, but that did not mean that he should be tense the whole time he was with her. It was not good for your health.

Hawk looked at his friends and girlfriends who shrugged and he looked at her and nodded. He got up from the chair he was sitting in and followed Dean Cadance out of the cafeteria that was now full of students who were speaking to each other. Hawk made sure to have a straight back like a soldier and prepared his etiquette as good as he could. Sensei Sombra had taught him about etiquette so he could gain the favours of rich people in the future but he had a lot of help from Sunny who was more than happy to help.

Dean Cadance felt how Hawk prepared himself by his body language. She did not need to look at him to know that he has prepared himself for every question thoroughly. He would not allow himself to be caught by surprise. Dean Cadance led him to an empty classroom that was like the rest of the school indigo with a hint of dark red and blue. Hawk was faced with Dean Cadance who softened her eyes at him but he was still on guard. She sighed inwardly. She gave him a gentle smile but nothing changed. She decided to cut to the chase and half sat half stod on a school bench.

“Hawk, I know that this will be a hard situation and difficult to talk about, but I must ask you: did you hurt my sister-in-laws’ feelings? Her name is Twilight Sparkle.” She added when she saw the confusion on his face. Who wouldn’t. The Dean from a different school that you transfer to just out of nowhere asks if you have hurt ‘this’ or ‘that’ person without knowing them. Hawk was a little bit surprised but not shocked. He had heard that Sparkle was related to someone that had worked at her old school.

“I wasn’t in a relationship with her so I don’t understand what you mean with ‘feelings’” Hawk said, trying to buy himself some time. Dean Cadance saw it as well and knew he was trying to buy himself some time. She then grew sterned faced, but it did not affect Hawk at all. He looked at her with a small hint of impressment. Then his face was morphed back into the impassive look he usually gives everyone except his friends unless if he was angry.

“Hawk, I know that you know what I mean. So quit stalling and tell me the truth.” Cadance replied sternly, trying to seem and look intimidating but Hawk did not react a single bit and it made her a little bit frustrated. Her fiance, Shining Armor would have loved Hawk’s perfect impassive look.

“Fine, yes I hurt her feelings because she was spreading lies, or well, she did not spread anything until later. She came to the Cobra Kai dojo and she started telling me lies about how I was acting like the bullies who had bullied me in the past and I simply told her to get out and never return. That was all I did Dean Cadance.” Hawk explained all in a neutral tone that seemed like he had done it for years. Dean Cadance was trying to read his face, but she couldn’t, his face was completely impassive and only showed boredom. She was impressed. Not many students were able to have such an impassive face, except the Sunny Flare girl. She knew that she was also a Cobra Kai member. She always believed that the dojo was pretty violent but she never said anything. She had started noticing that her father-in-law was paying rabid attention to the news for Cobra Kai. When Cobra Kai had won the tournament he had shouted in victory, but no one in the whole Sparkle family and her family had any idea why he was so excited that they had won. When they asked about it he had only smiled at them and walked away.

Dean Cadance sighed as she knew that it was the full truth. “You can go, Hawk.” The student in question surprised her when he bowed to her in respect and opened the door and left, not looking back. Dean Cadance was contemplating whether or not she should have fully allowed him off the hook, but since he did not lie (fully) at least, she decided to let the whole thing go. There was no point in being stuck in the past for something that happened between two teenagers. She did find Hawk pretty interesting, but she knew that he had a lot of dark secrets that she did not want to know. She felt like she had failed him somehow. She did not know why, but it was there. She walked out of the classroom and decided to head to her office to see if she could read his file and learn more about him.

Hawk was walking back to the cafeteria as there were another thirty minutes before classes started, but on his way there, his ears perked up as he heard the whispering voices of the students. He kept hearing things like: ‘Did you hear that the Friendship Games might be cancelled this year?’ ‘I would definitively compete in the Games if it isn’t cancelled’ and that got him curious. Was the Friendship Games being cancelled? Why? It had never in the whole history of Canterlot High and Crystal Prep happened before. The two schools were like Brother’s in the sense that it was created around the same time, but the competition got to the better of all of them and they only make sure that either of the schools wins. If the Friendship Games were indeed being cancelled, then he would force the school governors to rethink.

He walked inside of the cafeteria and saw all of his friends there that went to Crystal Prep minus Pipsqueak. They waved him over and they started talking about what the Dean wanted. Hawk then decided to ask the question about the rumour to see what they knew.

“Hey, do you guys know about the rumour that is saying that the Friendship Games is maybe cancelled?” Hawk questioned as he took a hold of his smoothie and gulped down the gross contents. The other girls looked at each other in shock and looked at him for answers until Sunny Flare realized that he had asked them.

“I must have been living under a rock, I have not heard about that,” Indigo stated as she looked at all of the different students that were chatting or bickering at each other. The other girls stated the same things and Hawk got a calculating look on his face. Perhaps, he could ‘persuade the school governors somehow. He looked over at Sunny Flare who had been trying to get his attention for the last minute.

“Sunny Flare, how well do your family know the school governors?” Hawk asked in a curious voice. She looked at him oddly as it was out of the blue. She had no idea what he was planning, but she decided to be a hundred per cent honest on this one. The other two girls looked at Hawk oddly but didn’t say anything.

“Pretty well, why?” Sunny Flare questioned as she hoped she would receive an answer from her boyfriend. All she got what a smirk.

“Oh, no reason.” That was all he said before the bell rang and they all went back to their classes.
