Daniel LaRusso (The Karate Kid ) x Reader

Pretty blonde girl!!!

It was the next day and I hadn't seen Daniel
since well, last night.
I was leaving 3rd period to head to
Mr. Geller's class but I was waiting for Jack
to leave his classroom since we both had the same period.
I knew he was avoiding me
ever since this morning because of
what he did during the Halloween party
2 nights ago.
The guy practically
ditched me.

Speaking of which he finally walked out.

" Jack, Henderson. "
I smile leaning on the wall next to the door.
" Jesus. "
He jolted stopping himself from walking, guessing I startled him.
" Wait, I- I don't know you. "
His eyes went wide as he tried going in
the other direction.
" Hey, hey, hey! Not so fast! "
I pulled on his backpack. I could feel that he was tensed up.
" Jack, relax. I'm not mad at you. "
He sorta calmed down after I said that.
" Really? But I heard- I- I mean my mom heard you shouting and banging on the door
that night of the party. "
He switched his words up as if it wasn't obvious that he had diarrhea...
" Oh please, you weren't sick or had diarrhea. "
I defended laughing at the end.
" What? What do you mean? I was. I did. "
" Jack, it's fine. Now that I think about it, the night went pretty well.
Sort of? "
" Alright! "
He celebrates with his fists up in the air.
But that's when his smile slowly turned
to a frown.
" What? "
I question him.
" Did your dad come home last night? "
A serious look plastered on his face.
Shit, was my bruise visible?
I covered it with make up,
but, I guess not well enough...
" Uhm,
yeah, yeah. He uh did. "
I nod looking down.
" Come here. "
He pulls me into a hug when today,
I was just not in the mood.
" Jack no- no! "
I try pushing him away but he was too strong to move away from.
And yet I still don't know how he manages
to lighten me up.
" Okay, okay! Thanks for cheering me up!
But c'mon, let's go. Before we get expelled from how many times we were late for
Mr. Geller's class.
I'll just uh, tell you bout it later. "
I chuckle, the both of us crossing the campus to head to our next class.

" So, you aren't mad at me? "
He questions in a hopeful tone.
" No Jack. I'm not, don't worry. "
I laugh looking down and when I looked up I spotted Daniel opening his locker
and taking his bag out.
" Oh hey, It's Daniel. Hey, Daniel! "
Jack yelled when I shushed him, we stopped halfway through the pavement.
" What!?? "
Annoyed, we both watched Ali sneak up on Daniel and they started talking.

Maybe I shoulda told him that Daniel and I weren't really on speaking terms.
Anyways-

Thankfully Daniel didn't hear him but,
other people did.
Like Johnny, Dutch, Tommy and well Bobby.
Seeing their heads turn behind us.
" Shit. "
Jack murmured next to me.
" Don't look at me? What am I supposed to do? "
I objected, realizing things could go waaaayyy down right now or the total opposite
" I'll see you in class Y/n. "
Jack starts running, leaving me
in the middle of campus.
As he left me, I noticed both Daniel & Ali started walking when they bumped into Johnny and the rest of his friends.
Daniel came up smiling as they passed each other and Ali seemed amused.
Shit, I gotta avoid them somehow.
" You guys be careful not to step in front of any more buses now, alright? "
Daniel finished off, laughing. I tried staying behind Johnny and a few of his friends,
but people kept bumping into me,
making me move forward.
" Oh, Y/n! Hey!.... "
He smiled acknowledging my presence.

Oh, now he's talking nicely to me.

I ignored him looking down when Johnny slammed his books and folders down
causing it to hit me.
" Hold it! Remember what Sensei said?
We gotta wait for the tournament. "
Bobby pushes Johnny back, stopping him before he could do something stupid.
" It must be "take a worm for a walk" week! "
Tommy exclaimed, shooting back to Daniel.
I turn around to see Daniel eyeing me up and down, but I quickly looked away.
" Dude! "
Annoyed, I sighed and bent down
to pick them up.
" Hey, watch where you're going, L/n.
What happened to your eye? "
Tommy added, nudging my shoulder
with his knee laughing.
" Stop it, man. "
Bobby tried stopping him as well.
All eyes from the five of them
were on me for sure.
" D'you hear me, Y/n? "
Tommy nudged me again. I didn't answer.
" Hey man, c'mon. I said stop. "
Bobby still tried to join in.
" What? It's not like we can't hurt her? She ain't joining the tournament.
LaRusso's the only one participating."
" What'd she ever do to you!? "
Bobby raised his voice, I looked up to see Tommy speechless.
I stood back up picking the the books, papers, and folders from the floor
and handed them back to Johnny.
None of them really said anything afterward.
Man, why does Tommy always have to be so stuck up?
I don't get their problems...
Especially his.
