Love My Way [Johnny Lawrence x Reader]

Chapter 63

Friday

After the whole debacle with Barbara and Kara on Monday, I've been slightly on edge. For the first half of the week, Johnny was cracking so many jokes about Barbara kissing me. He seemed to think it was funny that she was secretly in love with me. That was until I told him how crazy it'd be if the same thing happened with him and Daniel. That shut him up real quick.

I've been trying to stay two steps ahead of Kara and stay on defense for whatever she tries. If Kreese heard this he would lose his shit.

Here's the thing, I'm not afraid of Kara by any means but I've known her for years and I know she's extremely smart and with that means that she's also very conniving and calculating, so whatever she's planning, it's gonna make what Barbara did seem like child's play. What makes this worse is that I know she's violent because of the alley incident.

Honestly, she's lucky I don't press charges for assault, but there's no surveillance in that area and it'd be my word against two rich girls, so I can already see how that'd go. Besides, I don't think I can handle any more stress. This week I have been Susan's emotional support person, which I don't mind at all, but it's a little weird since I'm still friends with her boyfriend, well ex-boyfriend. On top of that, Kara has been trying to weasel her way into the group, I can tell. She just hangs off of Bobby's shoulder all school day long and I know it's gonna be the same thing today.

This morning, I put on a white and blue graphic tee, my well-fitting acid wash jeans, a blue paisley bandana keeping my hair back, and my white chucks. I breezed past my dad as we were getting ready at the same time, but I noticed he was moving a bit sluggish.

"You alright there dad?"

"I'm peachy" He smiled at me with a yawn. "Just a little tired"

"You just seem a little slower than usual"

"Well I'm getting old, I'm slowing down"

"You're like 30"

"What?? Honey, I'll be 45 in March"

"Wowww, you don't seem that old" I joked

"Well 45 isn't old but thank you"

"Anytime pops" I slid past him back into my room and grabbed my backpack, black bomber jacket, and my keys. "See you later"

"Bye, I love you, have a good day" he told me, placing a kiss on my forehead as I made my way out the door. I took two steps next door and knocked on the door.

Lucile swung the door open and the aroma of french toast filled the hallway. "Here to steal french toast"

"You know me so well" She gently pulled me inside and closed the door behind me. "I'm not just here to clean out your fridge, I'm offering Daniel a ride if he wants"

"Daniel, you wanna ride to school?" Lucile asked as I chowed down on breakfast

"Ma we talked about this, I don't like you trying to drive me to school. It's embarrassing" Danny said, his voice echoing slightly from being in the bathroom.

"One, I wasn't offering and two it's not embarrassing"

"Yeah Danny, there's nothing embarrassing about your mom loving you and wanting to take you to school" I nodded along with a teasing smile on my face

He walked out the bathroom with his bathroom thrown over his shoulder. "So you'd be cool with your dad dropping you off and pulling up right in the front of the school"

"He'd never, he knows better"

"Exactly"

"this is amazing" I complimented, swallowing the last bit of French toast
