Nicole and Hawk had been officially dating for two months. She was going over to Hawk's house for dinner, and to study for finals She was carrying a dessert, books and her sketch book with her, as she knocked on the door. Hawk's mom answered.
"Hi Mrs. Moskowitz." Nicole said.
"Hi Nicole." "Come on in."
She went inside. "I made a chocolate cream pie for dessert." "Where should I put it?"
"I'll take it." She took it. "Dinner will be ready in about ten minutes."
"Ok." "Is Eli in his room?"
"Yes."
Nicole went into Eli's room.
"Hey baby." Hawk said going over to her.
"Hi." They kissed. "I have something to show you." She put down her books and opened her sketchpad. "I drew two." She said as she was flipping through the pages. "See?" She'd drawn a green field with a lone tree in it. In the center of the the tree was a heart. In the middle was the inscription NS+EM. "What do you think?"
"It's awesome." "I love it." "That's going on my wall."
They were sitting down to dinner.
"I hope you like the meatloaf." Mrs. Moskowitz said to Nicole.
"It's delicious."
"Did Eli buy you another present?"
"No."
"Where did you get that ring?" She said referring to the one Robby had given her. "It's really pretty."
"I bought it at the mall."
"Eli tells me you hope to go to NYU next year."
"Yes."
"Well I hope you get in." "Eli has shown me some of your drawings." "You're very talented."
"Thank you "
Nicole and Eli were in his room. They'd been studying for the last three hours. She was sitting at his desk and he was on his bed. He got up and went to her
"Nic I need a break." He said. "I need to relax for awhile." He kissed her cheek.
"Eli we have to study."
"We can study for sex Ed." 'The question can be." "How many times can Hawk make his beautiful girlfriend say oh Eli?" "I'll be quick I promise."
"What about your mom?"
"She won't hear anything."
She stood up. "Ok." They kissed.
A few nights later Nicole was at the mall planning on going to Hawk's after. She was browsing when she and Tory spotted each other.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't the traitor." Tory said disgusted
"I'm not a traitor."
"Yes you are."
"Cobra Kai just wasn't for me."
"Don't worry, Robby's in good hands."
"I don't care what you do with Robby."
"Bullshit." "I know you still love him." "He doesn't love you, he loves me." "I know one thing you must really miss about him." "God can he fuck, it's incredible."
"I remember." "All the things you like he does in bed, he did with me first." "We taught each other a lot." When she turned her back Tory pushed her. She turned back around. "Ok." They started to fight. Nicole landed a few shots but so did Tory. Tory landed one that cut Nicole's lip before they were separated by security. They were kicked out.
Tory went to the dojo. She had a black eye. She went to the back where Robby was.
"Baby, what happened to your face?" Robby said shocked.
"Nicole jumped me."
Hawk heard a knock at the front door. When he opened it he was shocked to see Nicole standing there with a black eye and bleeding lip.
"What happened to you?" Hawk said.
He got her ice and rubbing alcohol to clean her wound They were sitting on the couch. He put the rag with alcohol on it to her lip.
"Ow!" She yelled.
"I know baby." "Was it Cobra Kai?"
"It was Tory."
"Why did she attack you?"
"She said I was a traitor to Cobra Kai." She said leaving out the part about Robby.
"She's a psycho."
"I love you Eli." That was the first time she'd said it and meant it.
"I love you too Nicole."
