Summary
Tory’s high at winning the tournament lasts no longer than a couple of hours. When the knowledge hits her, when the rest of Cobra Kai lifts her in celebration, and when her fingers wrap around one of the cylinders that shape the trophy, her heart fills up with a feeling that is foreign to her. Pride. She’s fucking proud of herself.

Sam doesn’t believe it at first. Honestly, when her body lands on the mat she is more shell shocked than in pain. Even though the kick on the stomach was strong and the fall was hard, it doesn’t really register, because the referee is lifting Tory’s arm and declaring her a winner. She lost.
---
Or, Tory's life goes to shit, Sam's sanity pends on a thread, and these two will butt heads until they can face each other on the mat once more.

Summary
"It's just— Being on campus, figuring out what I want to do with my life without anyone else's expectations, trying new things just to see what I like.”
It’s what they all say, right? The time for experimentation, to live on your own, to expose yourself to different point of views about life, religion, politics, racism, activism, and—
Yasmine suddenly grins. She figured it out. She read Sam like an open book and put the pieces together. "Oh my God, Sam. Tell me you finally tried weed. I have some I was saving for later but we can—"
"Not drugs." Sam stops her, reaching for a hand that was seconds away from rummaging inside a pocket.
Looking disappointed, Yasmine huffs in annoyance, but after a few beats her eyes go wide "No, wait. For real? Don't tell me you went for the sapphic route?"
---
Or, Sam and Yasmine have a one on one conversation next to the fire. And then they stop talking.

Summary
"Refill?"
"What…?" She asks, disoriented for a second but desperately trying to hold onto her line of thought. "No, tha—"
But it's too late, because the telltale sound of liquid hitting ceramic interrupts her words.
Or, Sam tries to get inspiration from a coffee shop in order to finish writing a chapter, but the waitress makes it really hard for her to focus.

Summary
Sam can barely put two coherent thoughts together because it's hot, hot, hot. The kind of hot that makes the air oppressive and heavy, too thick to flow properly from nostrils to lungs.
She wonders, for what is probably the twelfth time during the past half hour; why isn't she at her home instead of sweating all over the wooden floor of the dojo.
