A few boys help the boy back up while Johnny pushes Ali back into Dutch who holds her in place. Clara shakes her head disappointed. Johnny rolls up the sleeves of his red cobra kai leather jacket, ready to fight the dark haired boy. The boy runs at Johnny but he just steps aside and holds out his leg for the boy to fall over. He falls head first into the sand. And while the people start cheering, Clara just looks annoyed at the boys.

The raven haired boy gets back up.
He starts another attempt in attacking Johnny, but he just turns and holds his leg out once again. The falls into the sand once again.  Two boys help the other back up while Johnny turns to Ali.

"Stop it." She trys to break free from Dutch's grip that was holding her. "I didn't do anything." He smiles cockily at her.

"Johnny come on, let's just go." Trys Clara to persuade the boy but he gives her the same smirk as Ali. "Why would I,  he started it." Clara groans and shakes her head. "What a bunch of idiots."

The boy in the hoodie comes back to Johnny and puts himself into a fighting position. Johnny copies him. The boy tries to attack,  but Johnny turns around himself and kicks his stomach with force. The boy falls to the ground holding it.

"You're a big man now, huh?" Asks Ali mocking.

"You started this. All I wanted to do was talk to you."  He points finger at her accusingly.

"Just leave him alone and we'll go talk." She tries to stop him.

"Yeah. Where did I hear that before?" He then walks over to the crouching boy. "What about you, hero? You have enough?"

Out of nowhere the boy jumps up and hits Johnny in the face. The people around start to cheer when the boy jumps around fists holding up, ready to strike again. "Okay. Okay, man. Now we're even." He tells Johnny, but he just raisies his fists.

"No mercy, man." Johnny kicks the boy into the abdomen twice before throwing his fist to the boy's face, making him fall to the ground. The boy groans and stays down, making the people cheer for Johnny. He walks backwards and Dutch lets go of Ali. She grabs his jacket and hits his chest repeatedly, screaming at him. "Why don't you hit me? Why did you have to hit him?"

"It's your faul!" Explains Johnny to her. "It's not." Insits Ali. Clara has to admit that it was kind the girls fault, although Johnny wasn't completly innocent either.

"Did you ever think it's your fault? Why do you always have to fight, huh?" Johnny looks down to the girl and then back up to his friends. "Bullshit. Get on your bikes, guys, you too Clara." At the last one he looks at the girl who was watching the argument.

Bobby and Clara throw one last look at Johnny before looking to the still on the ground laying boy.
Clara let's out a sigh at the sight of him. Bobby nudges her softly. "Are you coming?" The girl looks at her twin for a second, before looking back at the boy. "One second." She runs over to him. Three boys where looking down at him and then start to leave, when they see her coming. Clara kneels down in front of him, making him look at her.

"That is gonna look bad in the morning." She looks at his eye with a soft smile. "I don't know who you are, but could you just go away." Replies the boy annoyed, hiding his face in his arm. Clara smirks at his behaviour. "I'm Clara. Clara Brown."

The boy groans once again. "When I tell you my name, would you leave?" He asks her whining. The girl smirks at him and even though he has his head hidden in his arm, he could feel it.

"I'd consider that as an option then, so yes." He raisies his head and looks at the girl. "Daniel LaRusso." Clara gives him a wide smile. "You know, Daniel LaRusso, I think we're gonna be great friends." 

She gets up and sees Ali standing there watching her and Daniel. Clara nods at her with an small smile, and walks to her brother and friends who were talking loudly.

"Oh the princess has finally arrived." Jokes Tommy smiling when he sees her approaching. Johnny looks at her questioning. "What were you doing by that dork?" Clara rolls her eyes at Johnny's words.

"I was just asking for his name, that's all. You have a mean swing just so you know. His eye looks bad." Johnny smirks cockily. "That's what I've been told." Clara shakes her head disapproving and gets on the back of Bobby's bike.

"That wasn't a compliment." Bobby being the only one hearing her smiles a bit. "Just let it be." Clara nods and puts the helmet on that he gives her. The boys start the engins and drive past Daniel back up the hill. Clara watches the boy with sad eyes. Felling bad about what just happened, but even if she tried she just couldn't be mad at Johnny for what he did to him.
