I finished writing this story out yesterday! I can tell you it's around twenty-six chapters too. :)
I don't know if any of you have noticed, but I posted the first chapter of my new fanfic based on my one-shot, "Good-Bye, Cherry" So, maybe you guys will check it out since you love me? :)
I hope you all find chapter fourteen entertaining. When you get done reading, please review and tell me how it was. Feedback is my fuel to write. No joke.
Daniel entered the kitchen and headed straight for the fridge. Johnny watched him grab the orange juice and drink straight from the carton. Lucille moved past him and dished herself some breakfast.
"Sit down; eat some breakfast," she told Daniel. He shook his head and sat the carton of orange juice on the table. "Come on, it takes energy to be charming."
"No, I'm not hungry," he explained. Johnny looked at him and smirked. Daniel was covering his black eye with a pair of tinted sunglasses. Smart idea. Lucille looked at him and frowned.
"Well at least take off the glasses,"
"Ah, Mom, it's the California look," Lucille pursed her lips and sighed.
"Come on, I want to see your baby browns," Daniel looked at her and frowned.
"Ma, enough with the baby browns," Lucille got up from the table and moved towards him. Both of them got into an argument about the sunglasses. Finally, she pulled them off his face and gasped.
"Who did this to you?"
"I hit a curb with my bike; I wore the glasses so you wouldn't worry," Daniel reached up to touch his bruise. "It's fine."
"Don't touch it," she scolded, hitting his hand away. "Do you want to stay home from school?"
"No, I'll be fine. Now I have to go, I love you," Daniel leaned forward and kissed his mother. "Come on, Johnny, or we're going to be late." Johnny got up from the table and grabbed his backpack. He hurried out the door and ran to catch up with his brother.

Daniel caressed his bruise despite the fact that his mother told him not to. Johnny didn't say anything. They were finally starting to get on good terms with one another, and he didn't want to mess that up.
"I hope that kid doesn't go to school with us," Daniel said, running a hand through his fluffy hair. Johnny only shrugged.
"I wouldn't have to worry about him. He's not in my grade," he answered. Daniel chuckled and rolled his eyes playfully.
"Well aren't you lucky?" Johnny shrugged.
"I guess, but you'd be lucky too if you would've let that girl handle that guy on her own,"
XxXxXxX
Daniel and Johnny stepped into the office. For it being the first day of school, it wasn't very crowded much to Daniel's relief. They quickly gave him a folder, and now it was Johnny's turn to receive his.
"What's your last name, hun?" the secretary asked, looking at him.
"Johnny Cade," he answered softly. The lady filed through some papers and sighed. She scanned through them a couple more times before giving up.
"There isn't a Cade in here, sweetheart," she told him. Daniel heard the whole conversation and stepped up.
"Try Johnny LaRusso," Daniel suggested. She nodded her head and scanned through the folders again.
"Aha . . ." she said, pulling a folder out. It looked exactly like Daniel's. "Here you go, darling." Johnny accepted the folder and thanked her. On a sticker in the top right hand corner read the words Johnny LaRusso.
Johnny LaRusso
It would definitely take some getting use to.
The office began filling up. Daniel grabbed onto Johnny's sleeve and pulled him out the door.
"I guess Mom changed your last name," he spoke, opening his folder. Johnny copied his actions. On the inside, he found a bunch of important forms, a map of the school, and his schedule.
Health - Mr. Morrison
Geometry - Ms. Ritchie
History - Mrs. Snow
Honors Biology - Mr. Henderson
Lunch
English - Mrs. Stacey
Physical Education - Mr. Kelley
Daniel looked over at Johnny's schedule. Johnny looked at his in confusion. Why was he in honors biology? Wasn't that for smart kids? He wasn't smart.
"Hey, you're in honors bio too," Daniel smiled.
"Are we in the same class?" Johnny asked hopefully.
"No, I have it third hour, but we have the same lunch," he answered. Daniel looked around for a clock. "Come on, we're going to be late for first hour." Johnny and Daniel said good-bye and went to find their first hour classes.
XxXxXxX
Johnny took a seat in biology and looked around nervously. He was still positive he didn't belong in here. He wasn't even sure how he got in to begin with. A couple more kids entered the room, but one in particular caught Johnny's eye.
He was tall with blonde hair and cold eyes. He looked scary and intimidating.
The bell rang, and the teacher approached the front of the room. He looked around his class happily with a big smile.
"Good morning! I'm your teacher, Mr. Henderson. I'm sure all of you are glad to be back at school," the class groaned in response. Mr. Henderson continued smiling and picked up a piece of paper. He held a pencil in his left hand firmly and looked towards his students. "I'm going to do attendance. When I call your name, say here." Mr. Henderson started calling his students names.
". . . Johnny LaRusso," Mr. Henderson called out after some many minutes. Johnny raised his hand.
"I'm here," he called out shyly. The teacher smiled and went on.
From the back of the classroom, the tall kid with blonde hair and cold eyes smirked.
LaRusso, the one that tried to steal his girl, had a brother. This was perfect.
The kid leaned over to his friend and whispered in his ear, "LaRusso, that's the kid who tried to take Ali. Up there is his brother."
His friend looked at him funnily. He was obviously confused.
"What's that have to do with anything?" The blonde-hair kid smirked.
"We're going to make his life hell. LaRusso will have to choose Ali or his brother. Until he chooses his brother, his brother is in for it," he explained. An evil smirk formed on his friend's face.
"That sounds excellent,"
So, if you haven't seen The Karate Kid, you should all know that there is a character named Johnny. Since Johnny Cade's last name has been changed to LaRusso, the bully, Johnny, will be referred to as "Lawrence" to avoid any confusion. (But there will be a rare occasion where he is actually called Johnny). Hopefully that doesn't confuse you anymore.
Lawrence = the leader of the Cobra Kai clan. :)
review loves. :)
