you're the best around - (daniel larusso x oc)

ch.7

--playing It's Your Move by Diana Ross--

"What the hell is wrong with you, Sevem?" [Tommy yells shocked, he thought she went a little overboard- nearly breaking Johnny's nose]

"Yeah, what the fuck what happened to you?" [Bobby yells- also shocked but also feeling betrayed as the other Cobra Kais did- as he grabs Johnny, helping him up. Once Johnny gets on his feet he and Scarlette are both speechless, glaring/staring only. Johnny had, at this moment, forgotten any benefit of Scarlette's existence in his life; she almost broke his nose after all- Johnny was done with her friendship. His friends pull him away to the door out of the lunchroom. Ali is also speechless, she takes another step back to composes herself]

"I-" [She looks back at Johnny to see the damage done. She faces Scarlette again with a look of what seemed to Scarlette and Daniel to be surprise and fear] "I can't believe you just did that! He won't be bothering us again!" [Ali almost jumps up with a great big smile on her face- surprising Scarlette, who thought Ali would've been mad or afraid of or even disappointed in her]

"Y-yeah." [Scarlette replies with relief but is still a little shook, she nervously chuckles, looking over at Johnny too- making eye contact with him again. Scarlette feels bad for him, she didn't mean to hit him so hard and she didn't want things to be strange between them. She doesn't believe that he will leave Daniel alone either, she thinks this will motivate him if anything. The guilt, the fear of more rivalry, and the confusion of it all together- There was just so much going on in Scarlette's head, she completely forgot to help Daniel back up. She grabs his hand and pulls him up]

"You kicked his ass, slugger!" [Daniel hugs Scarlette suddenly, she smiles and her face reddens a little. She chuckles again, looking at Johnny finally exiting the cafeteria]

"Let's get out of here." [Scarlette leads the way out of the lunchroom, Ali and Daniel follow- They part their ways and enter their classrooms, as Scarlette bids her friends goodbye she spots Johnny entering the same class as her] "Shit, I forgot he was in this period with me," [She thinks to herself as she sits in her assigned seat, which was dreadfully beside Johnny. She wonders if she can find a way to just avoid him]

--the bell rings--

[Scarlette can barely focus during her class- thoughts had filled her head] "I have to go to karate practice with him today. A-and I can't avoid him, it's impossible." [She sighs aloud, catching Johnny's attention. They awkwardly make eye-contact, Scarlette looks away and continues to think to herself] "I have to say something- We're even now, so there's no harm done, right?" [Scarlette turns to Johnny again- mouth open, looking as if she's to say something- but she still can't find the right words, she turns back around and continues thinking] "Just apologise." [Saying sorry didn't come natural to Scarlette, it wasn't a big part of her "no mercy" mentality that she had been taught- which also explains why Johnny also has a difficult time apologizing as well. She turns back around to Johnny, about to speak again but is interrupted]

--the bell rings--

[Scarlette is cut off by the sound of the bell, she frustratedly groans. Johnny stands up and pushes in his chair, before he reaches the door, Scarlette catches up to him] "J-johnny-"

"I'm not gonna listen to you, Sevem. You punched me in the face." [Johnny says solemnly without turning to look at Scarlette- he walks out the door but Scarlette continues to walk beside him. He tries his hardest not to make eye-contact with Scarlette, he wants to ignore her]
