The difference a sister can make
Chapter Five: A disastrous lunch
~(^.^)~
The next day at school Jessie was late. Mostly because she refused to ride to school on the back of her brother's motorcycle. She was still pissed at him. Since she was late, she didn't get to see Ali or Daniel before classes started. She didn't get the chance to talk to either one of them till lunch time, when she caught the both of them in the lunch line getting their food. Daniel had a full tray, while Ali only had a milk on hers.
"Hey guys," She exclaimed, coming to stand next to them.
"Hey."
"Hey, Jessie."
Both replied at the same time, giving her smiles.
"You not eating anything today?" Daniel asked, noticing her empty hands.
"Eh, not really hungry right now," She replied, shrugging her shoulders.
She was to upset to eat. This whole ordeal with her brother had her stomach in knots.
"You sure?" Ali asked, giving her a worried look.
Ali knew how much she cared for her brother. So she knows how much all this was effecting her.
"Yeah I'm sure. Don't worry Ali I'm fine," Jessie stated, patting Ali on the shoulder.
"You two sitting with anyone?" Daniel questioned as they moved further up the line.
"You," Ali replied hopefully.
Daniel smiled at this and nodded his head.
"Sorry about the soccer tryouts," Jessie apologized suddenly.
She was still really annoyed with her brother and his friends for what they did.
"Those are the breaks. Not your fault," Daniel replied, shaking his head.
Ali glanced over at Jessie for a second and the two seemed to share a quick silent conversation.
"Ugh, you remember the guy you had trouble with on the beach?" Ali asked nervously.
"King Karate?" Daniel asked back, confusion evident in his voice.
He wasn't really sure why she was bringing him up, but obviously she had a reason.
"He's my ex-boyfriend… and her twin brother," Ali explained.
Daniel stumbled slightly at this revelation, and Jessie reached out to steady him with a hand on his shoulder. He looked between the two girls with wide eyes for a moment. He eyed Jessie for a moment, feeling shocked that the jerk who'd beat up on him was her twin. Looking at her now he could see it, they had the same color hair, same high cheek bones, and the same nose. But other than that they didn't really look like each other. Mostly because her brother had blue eyes, and Jessie had Emerald green eyes. Plus they didn't act anything like each other.
He realized he'd been starring at Jessie a little too long, and she looked really worried. She was biting her bottom lip. He could tell she was worried about what he would think about her being the sister of the guy that beat him up. He looked over at Ali, and noticed she looked worried as well. So he did the only thing he could think of to ease their worry, make them laugh.
He cocked his head to the side as if he was listening to someone.
"I know. I know. You're right," He stated to the air, nodding his head.
Ali and Jessie looked at each other, confusion flashing across their faces.
"What was that all about?" Ali questioned.
"It's this little voice… gives me advice," Daniel replied, smiling at the two girls.
Jessie giggled, and Ali smiled.
"What'd it say?" Ali asked.
"That I've got to be some kind of coconut to pursue this," Daniel answered, nudging both girls in the shoulders with his own shoulders.
"It's over," Ali stated confidently.
Jessie felt herself deflate slightly at the hopeful look on Daniel's face at Ali's statement. Of course he was interested in her, why wouldn't he be?
"How over?" Daniel asked.
"Weeks," Ali said, walking towards an empty table.
"Weeks? One week? Two weeks? What's weeks?" Daniel mutters to himself, following Ali through the cafeteria.
Jessie follows after the two, keeping pace with Daniel. Both girls took a seat on either side of Daniel and sat down. But as Daniel sat down, a plate with a slice of blueberry pie was slid onto the seat by Johnny, causing Daniel to sit down on it with an audible squish.
Daniel jumped up out of his seat, and Jessie got a good look at the blueberry pie smeared across the bottom of his pants. Johnny and his friends where laughing their asses off, and the everyone else around them had started laughing as well.
"You jerk!" Ali shouted, scowling at Johnny.
Daniel's eyes blazed with anger. Then suddenly his face went black, and he wiped a thick glob of blueberry off the back of his pants. He started walking towards Johnny, and Jessie's eyes went wide.
"Wait, Daniel, what are you doing?" She whispered, trying to grab his arm to stop him.
But he side stepped her arm and kept walking towards Johnny. Oh this was not going to end well. Daniel came to a stop in front of Johnny, and Johnny eyed him for a moment.
"Don't even think about it, worm," Johnny ordered, scowling.
Daniel ignored him, and calmly smeared the glob of blueberry down the front of Johnny's shirt. Jessie groaned and let her head fall into her hands for a moment. Johnny stared down at his ruined shirt for a moment, before lunging at Daniel. Several people jumped up and pulled the two boys away from each other, but not before Johnny managed to land a punch to Daniel's stomach.
Jessie had been annoyed all day with her brother for yesterday, and now she was even more annoyed with him. She stood up, grabbed Ali's milk carton, and stomped over to where Johnny was standing with his friends.
"What the hell Johnny?" She asked, stopping in front of him.
"What? Thought he might like some pie, what's so wrong with that?" Johnny snarked, laughing.
Jessie scowled, pulled the top of the milk carton open, then poured the whole thing on her brother's head. The milk flowed over his blond hair, flattening it to his head, then rolled down his face and neck. He stood there for a moment, eyes wide and mouth hanging open.
"Fucking hell Jessie," Johnny shouted, wiping milk out of his eyes.
"What? I just thought you might like some milk. What's so wrong with that?" She questioned innocently.
Johnny scowled as she gave him a smirk. Then she turned on her heel and walked back over to where Ali was standing beside Daniel.
"Sorry Ali. I kind of stole your milk," Jessie apologized, handing her the empty carton.
"It's alright, I quite enjoyed watching you pour it all over his head," Ali replied, smiling as she took the carton from her friend.
"You okay Daniel. He didn't hit you to hard did he?" Jessie asked, turning to Daniel.
She looked him over and didn't see any new bruises forming, but he was holding his stomach and he was wincing when he breathed.
"No, yeah, I'm fine. He barely even hit me. But ugh, thanks for standing up to him for me like that. I know it can't be easy for you since he's your brother," Daniel replied.
"Yeah well, he's being a jerk right now," Jessie muttered, glancing back over at her brother.
He was attempting to wipe the blueberry off his shirt and also wipe the milk off his face and hair. His friends were talking to him quietly, but he didn't seem to be paying them any attention. He could feel eyes on him, and he glanced up and over at Jessie. Their eyes met, and for a moment Jessie felt kind of bad. His eyes where sad, and he looked kinda heart broken.
But then she remembered the way he'd been acting recently, and she frowned. She loved him, he was her brother, but right now he needed to know that he couldn't just mess with people and get away with it. He needed to know that what he was doing was not okay. So she turned away from him and back to her friends.
She missed the way his face fell at her blatant rejection of him. He felt tears prick at his eyes, but he shook his head to get rid of them. He scowled, turned on his heel, and stormed out of the cafeteria, his friends right behind him…
~(^.^)~
AN: I kinda feel bad for putting all of them through this. Jessie and Johnny are really hurting right now. They where so close at one point and now they can barely talk without it turning into an argument. But like I said last chapter it will get better. But it's gonna get a little worse before it'll get better.
AN2: So I'm using the original Karate Kid movie script, and the blueberry pie part of the lunch scene was in the original script, so I decided to use it. Reading through the original script is kinda cool. Like apparently after the lunch scene there was supposed to be a scene where Daniel drives for the first time and admits to his mom how back in New York, he and his friends stole a pizza truck and drove it through a fence. I kinda wish they would have left that scene in the movie!
