"You have to stop letting those kids treat you like shit." Ty shook his head as he poured cereal into a bowl. "Seriously, Alexa."

"What do you want me to do?" she asked in disbelief. Demetri had gotten use to listen to them argue, staying focused on repairing Alexas glasses with the hot glue gun. "They're all bigger and strong then me! I don't know what you want from me!"

"To have a back bone." Ty argued with her. "This attitude you're going me, give that to them."

"And get beat up?" she crossed her arms, falling into the seat at the table.

"You better sort it out or i'll go up there and kick those kids asses. You hear me?" Ty gave a knowing look, walking toward his room with his cereal. Alexa groaned, throwing her head back to hit the wall.

"Woah, easy, tiger." Demetri laughed slightly. "Don't want you getting brain damaged."

"He doesn't get it." Alexa sighed, looking his way. "He was the cool kid in school."

"Yeah, I caught that." Demetri held up her hot glue gunned glasses. "There, good as new. Just don't pull."

Alexa smiled, pushing them up on her face. "How do I look?"

"Cute." he gave a grin. "Like a nerd."

Alexa crossed her legs in the chair. "Do you want to stay the night?"

"My moms want me home." Demetri sighed, rolling his eyes slightly. "You can come with me though."

Alexa shook her head with a little grin. "Ty will lecture me."

"Okay." he stood up, planting a kiss to her forehead. "See you, Einstein."

Alexa followed him to the door. "Demetri."

He looked back. "What's up?"

"I'm not doing good in math class." she frowned, he nodded his head. "Do you think I could borrow your homework?"

"Sure." he pulled his backpack off. "Are you not understanding?"

"I just keep getting really distracted." Alexa said, avoided telling him how Mr.Bryant walked around the class room and made a point to touch her arm or shoulder every single time he passed her desk.

"Well, get that head on straight." he said back with a little grin. "I'll see you tomorrow."

Alexa nodded, pushing onto her tiptoes to accept a quick kiss to the lips before he headed down the apartment steps.

"You wanna trade?" Alexa asked Eli as they walked from the line, eyeing his green jello. "The red reminds of my hospitals."

Eli gave a little grin, switching jellos with her. Miguel was walking before them, their eyes falling onto Kyler, who was staring down at Sam. "Hey, guys! You know that billboard with the big-ass dick on it? I guess Sam takes after her dad."

Laughter echoed through the cafeteria, Alexa sat down next to Demetri as Eli got onto his other side, the three very invested in what was going on. Alexa looked over. "Daniel LaRusso has a billboard?"

"Hey, Kyler!" Miguel called, dropping his lunch as he walked over. "Why don't you shut the hell up and stop being such an asshole?"

"Oh no." Alexa cleaned her glasses to see better. "He will die."

"He will die, indeed." Demetri agreed.

"Want another beat down, Rhea?" Kyler shoved Miguel backwards. "I'm ready for your lame-ass karate this time."

He shoved Miguel back against the table, but he came back. "It's not lame-ass karate."

Kyler swung at him, Miguel caught his arm. "It's Cobra Kai."

"Oh!" Alexa reacted as Miguel slammed his fist into Kylers face. He was then attacked, thrown on the table by the Park boy, pulling Miguel into a choke hold. Miguel elbowed him in the ribs. "Oh!"

Kyler grunted as Migeul twisted his arm, punching him across the face. Miguel spun around, kicking him the the back as he crashed into the table. Alexa jumped when Aisha stood. "No mercy!"

Brucks came up behind Miguel, the Diaz boy swinging around as he kicked his legs out from under him. Another one of Kylers friends grabbed hold of Miguel, getting kicked in the balls as he then sent a kick to the other ones chest. Miguel swung back, kicking the redhead in the face to finish him off. Alexa laughed, looking like a kid in a candy store. "This is so cool, man."

Miguel rolled over the table as Brucks ran after him, grasping one of the red trays. He shoved the chairs toward the two that were coming to his side, swinging around and hitting Kyler with the tray. He did the same to Brucks, then the redhead boy, getting an extra one across the face. He went back to Brucks, kneeing him in the gut and tripping him. Miguel hopped up on the table, kicking to the right as Kyler came at him again, hitting him with the tray one final time.

"Woo!" Alexa cheered as she stood up, clapping with the rest of the cafeteria. "Demetri, get up and cheer!"

He hesitantly stood, clapping. "Woo."

Miguel looked around in joy at the many cheers and phones held out
to him, grinning down at Sam. Councilor Blatt walked over. "Hey! Get down from there right now."

The cafeteria continued to cheer him on as she took him hand, pulling him off the table and away.

Alexa really didn't want to, but she had to figure out a way to focus on math better. Her grade was horrible, and she started to think she was just over thinking the interaction with Mr.Bryant. She thought, maybe he was just a friendly guy. Plenty of people had patted her on the leg before. Alexa opened the door on her free period. "Mr.Bryant?"

He looked up from his paper, pulling his glasses off. "Oh, Alexa. Come on in."

She walked in, a tiny smile on her face. "Um, I was wondering if I could talk to you about my grade."

"I noticed it has been slipping some." he patted the seat next to him as Alexa took it. "What aren't you understanding?"

"I think i'm just having a hard time keeping my mind focused on it." she nodded her head, peering at him through her glasses.

"One on one might be better for you." he nodded his head at her, looking through the stack of papers. "Let's look back at your quiz from earlier."

Alexa leaned over some. Mr.Bryant pointed to the first question she missed. "I see what you're doing. You're forgetting to divide by the half at the end."

Alexa nodded her head. "Is it always a half?"

"Unless you have a decimal outcome." he nodded, looking over at her. Alexa met his eye, he smiled at her. "You're so smart, Alexa. You know this stuff."

"I know." she frowned. "I'm sorry."

"The smart girls are always the prettiest ones." he admitted to her, his hand place itself on her knee. "Has anyone ever told you that before?"

Alexa removed his hand. "Can you please not touch me?"

He leaned over, Alexa turned quickly so he kissed she side of her face face, his hand grasping her inner thigh again. "Get off of me!"

Alexa stood up with a look of disbelief, fixing her glasses as she looked at him. "Why would you do that?"

Mr.Bryant sighed. "Alexa, i'm sorry."

"I told you not to touch me." Alexa pulled her bag closer to her, chest heaving in disbelief as she stared over at him. "Forget it, I don't want to be alone with you ever again."

"Alexa!" Mr.Bryant called to her. "Alexa, i'm sorry. Come back."

He followed her too the door, Alexa ran down the empty hallway in fear with one thing in mind.

She needed to learn how to fight.
