Disclaimer: I do not own Karate Kid or any of its characters. The only thing I own is my OC, Jessie.

AN: I'm using AnnaLyne McCord as my face claim for my OC Jessie.

AN2: Okay so Daniel is supposed to be a year younger than Johnny but based off the movies he was in his senior year at the same time Johnny was. So I'm going with the theory that Daniel skipped a year at some point, I mean he seems smart enough for it.

The difference a sister can make

Chapter Four: Karate Kid: First day of school

~(^.^)~

The next day found Jessie standing near the school entrance looking for Daniel LaRusso. She wanted to make sure that he was okay after last night. She was about to give up and head in to her first class of the day, when she finally spotted him by the bike rack chaining up a blue bike. She smiled and made her way over to him.

"Daniel, hey how are you?" She asked, coming to a stop next to him.

He jumped slightly, not having seen her come up next to him. She cringed slightly at the sight of his black eye. But it wasn't as swollen as it was the night before so she took that as a good sign.

"Oh, hey Jessie. I'm fine, that ice idea you had helped a lot, thanks," He replied, giving her a small crooked smile.

Jessie smiled, happy that he was okay.

"So, what's your schedule like?" She asked, curious to know if they had any classes together.

Daniel pulled a piece of paper out of his bag and handed it over to her. He watched her as she looked over his schedule and compared it to her own. She was only a few inches shorter than him, and her shoulder length blond hair framed her face nicely. Her eyes where like emeralds that lit up whenever she talked. He thought she was beautiful, and he felt nervous just standing there next to her.

"Oh, we have all our classes together!" Jessie exclaimed excitedly, handing him back his schedule.

He couldn't help but smile at how happy she was. As the two approached the entrance to the school Freddy and his friends passed by them.

"Hey, Karate Kid. Let's see them moves!" Freddy shouted mockingly.

"The only move he knows is how to get his ass kicked," One of Freddy's friends shouted back.

"I already know how to do that one," Freddy stated.

All the boys laughed and walked into the building. Daniel's face went red, burning with humiliation. Jessie scowled at the retreating forms of the boys and shook her head.

"Don't mind them. They're all idiots," Jessie ordered, patting him on the shoulder.

Daniel nodded his head and gave her a small smile which she returned. The two made their way into the school, and headed for their first class of the day, which they shared. Neither of them noticing that Johnny had spotted the two walking into the school together shoulder to shoulder. He scowled at the sight of his sister flirting with the punk from last night. But he was soon distracted by his friends who pulled him off his bike and towards the school as the bell rang.

The day went by pretty fast. And soon enough it was the last class of the day, gym class. Jessie was out on the soccer field, hanging out with Ali and the rest of the cheerleaders before practice. Both girls spotted Daniel kicking around a soccer ball at the same time, and they decided to head over and say high to him. He had his back turned towards them, so Ali tapped him on the shoulder. The second he turned to look at them Ali gasped.

"Oh, your eye!" She uttered.

"It looks worse than it feels," Daniel shrugged.

"I hope so. It looks terrible. I never got a chance to thank you," Ali stated, smiling at him.

"It was nothing. I'm sorry about the radio," Daniel apologized.

"I'm more sorry about your eye. You should have let him have it," Ali said.

"Why? It wasn't his," Daniel replied, shaking his head as he bounced the soccer ball on his knee.

Ali smiled at this and nodded her head.

"Yeah you're right!" Ali agrees.

"Yeah, he was being a jerk anyway. And it was pretty cool of you to try and help us out," Jessie added, snatching the soccer ball from Daniel.

She started bouncing it on her knee for a moment, before Ali snatched it away from her and started bouncing it on her knee. Jessie sighed internally. Ali was obviously trying to impress Daniel, just like she'd been. She really, really liked Daniel. But she also really did not want to fight with her friend over a boy. And Ali seemed determined to be with Daniel. She could see it in her friends eyes.

While Jessie was thinking about this, Daniel was looking between the two of them, a smile plastered across his face. He couldn't believe it. Both of them where beautiful, and both where talking to him. He really liked both of them, but he knew he could only be with one of them. But he wasn't really sure which one he wanted to be with.

"Cheerleaders!" The cheerleader coach shouted, drawing the two girls attention.

"We gotta go," Ali stated, tossing the soccer ball back to Daniel.

Jessie and Ali both turned to head back towards the rest of the cheerleaders.

"Hey, what's your name?" Daniel asked, realizing that he only knew one of their names.

Ali turned back to face him, walking backwards next to Jessie.

"Ali, with an I," She stated, smiling brightly at him.

"I'm Daniel. With an L," Daniel replied.

Ali giggled and turned back around. She linked arms with Jessie and the two rushed off towards the group of cheerleaders. Both Ali and Jessie where distracted all practice, both watching Daniel as he moved around the soccer field. They both watched as he kicked the ball down the field, avoiding everyone that tried to stop him. Until Bobby hooked his leg around Daniel's knocking him to the ground.

Jessie scowled, that was not a legal move. She watched as Daniel jumped up and tackled Bobby to the ground and hit him in the face before Tommy pulled him off. Bobby was about to punch Daniel when the soccer coach stepped between them.

"Out!" He yelled at Daniel.

"He hooked me!" Daniel shouted, furious.

"I said out. We got no place for that kinda crap on this team," The coach replied.

"This school sucks!" Daniel yelled, walking backwards away from the field.

"Out!" The coach repeated.

"It sucks!" Daniel said one last time, then turned and walked away.

He walked passed the cheerleaders and Jessie and Ali both watched him walk off forlornly. Jessie glanced back over at the soccer field and noticed Bobby high fiving Johnny. She scowled, knowing that they'd done it on purpose to get him kicked off the field. Oh she was gonna smack the shit out of both of them the first chance she got!

That chance came at the end of the school day. Johnny was supposed to drive her to her ballet lesson, and usually his friends tagged along so that they could all hang out together after Johnny dropped her off. She stormed up the sidewalk towards the group of Cobra Kai boys. The boys all saw her coming, and they all saw the scowl on her face.

"Ugh oh, here comes trouble," Tommy muttered.

Jessie stormed right up to Johnny and Bobby and smacked both of them upside either side of their heads at the same time, causing them to knock heads. Tommy and Dutch both winced in sympathy, but neither stepped in to intervene. They'd know Jessie for years now and knew when not to step in between her and whatever she was mad at. Least her anger be directed towards them.

"Ow, what the hell!"

"God damn it Jessie!"

Both shouted at the same time, both of them clutching the sides of their heads.

"Why can't you jackass' just leave him alone?!" She shouted.

"Oh please, he was asking for it," Johnny replied, scowling at her.

"How? By talking to me and Ali? You're unbelievable. And you," She pointed her finger at Bobby at this, "I expected this kind of crap from him. But not from you!"

Bobby cringed at this statement. He'd never told her or Johnny, mostly because Johnny would pry kill him for it, but he'd always had a small crush on Jessie. But she never really seemed to notice him. To her he was just her irritating brother's Karate friend.

Which is why the sight of her flirting with LaRusso irritated him so much. And maybe that's why he didn't have a problem with messing with him. But seeing Jessie so mad at him, and so obviously disappointed in him, made him rethink the whole thing. Maybe they where being a little hard on the kid.

"Oh please!" Johnny muttered, rolling his eyes.

"Ugh, you're… you… you're such an ass!" Jessie huffed, stomping on Johnny's foot.

"Ow! Jessie seriously!" Johnny shouted, hoping around clutching his foot.

Jessie gave him one last glare before turning on her heel and stomping away.

"Hey, wait. Where you going? I'm supposed to take you to ballet!" Johnny questioned.

"I'll walk there!" Jessie shouted, not looking back at him.

Johnny frowned as he watched his sister walk away. He was annoyed, but he also felt kind of bad. She was pissed at him again. Actually she just seemed to be constantly pissed at him recently. He missed the days when the two of them used to hang out, when they used to get along. But he couldn't seem to figure out how to fix things between them. He knew he kept messing up. But he couldn't help it. He just got so mad sometimes, and when he got mad he couldn't control himself. When he got mad he just had to lash out at something, or someone. He groaned; his sister was going to hate him for the rest of their lives!

"Come on Johnny. Forget it, let's get out of here," Dutch exclaimed, pulling Johnny towards their bikes.

"Yeah, let's go," Johnny muttered, eyes lingering on his sister as she got farther away from him.

He sighed, shook his head, then climbed on his bike. The group of boys all pulled their helmets on and took off from the school parking lot. They didn't have a Karate class at the Dojo today, so they where free to do whatever they wanted. So they decided to get a little drunk to forget about their problems…

~(^.^)~

AN: I thought I'd give ya'll a little insight into Johnny's thoughts on his fights with his sister. He's hot headed as all hell, and thanks to Kreese the only way he knows how to deal with it is to hit things. Which has a way of pissing Jessie off to no end. But he really does love his sister, he just doesn't know how to talk or interact with her anymore. Don't worry though, it will eventually get better!

AN2: Poor Jessie, she's got it so bad for Daniel but she's to much of a loyal friend to go for him while she knows Ali likes him. And Ali is oblivious as all hell to her friends plight, cause she to focused on her own crush on Daniel. And Daniel likes both girls, so he's having trouble deciding which girl he wants to be with.
