Johnny's POV

Johnny wakes up in his car; it's uncomfortable, but it's better than his shitty apartment. He checks the time; it's 7:30, and he has to be at the school at 8:00.

He goes into a shop and looks at himself in a mirror. "Shit, I look horrible," Johnny says. What's he going to do? There isn't a shower nearby.

By the time he gets home to take one, he'll be late. He thinks. Then he decides to buy deodorant and puts it all over his body. He also buys cologne, so he smells okay. He sniffs himself. "It could be worse," he sighs.

He puts on the spare jumper and jeans that he has in the trunk of his Avanti. He checks the time again. It's 7:45, and the school is 10 minutes away. He hopes there isn't much traffic. He hops into his car to get to the school.

When he gets to the school, it's 7:56. "Phew, I made it in time," he says. He goes to his classroom, preparing for his first class: history. As a teen, he loved history. He found it really interesting. He's happy to teach kids history, despite what that jerk Sid says. He's happy with his job and wouldn't change it for the world.

He goes into the staff room and sees his friends; Bobby, Tommy, Jimmy, and Dutch and are all laughing together. He sits at their table.

"Hi, Johnny," Bobby greets, grinning at Johnny.

"Hey, Bobby," he replies.

The others are too busy laughing to notice Johnny. He's confused.

"What's so funny?" he asks.

Tommy finally stops laughing to tell him, "We saw the new teacher, and Ali was all over him. It was hilarious! He was so uncomfortable," he laughs with tears in his eyes.

They expected Johnny to laugh with them, but he gets mad, like really mad.

"What?" Johnny fumed.

They all stop laughing and realise that they messed up.

"Yeah, but it's ok. He looked totally uninterested, I promise," Dutch consoles, trying to calm Johnny.

That didn't calm Johnny down. It was so unfair. He tried for years to get Ali to notice him. But the second this new guy walks in, she's all over him.

"Where is he?" Johnny growled.

"Calm down, Johnny; it's not so bad," warned Jimmy.

"Not so bad? This is a very big deal. Just tell me where he is," Johnny snapped.

The others looked at each other, worried. Then Bobby spoke up, "He's in classroom C4 getting ready for his first class, French. But, please, Johnny, don't give him a hard time. It's his first day. He doesn't know that you have a crush on Ali."

Johnny stands up, "Fine," he huffs, and heads to C4.

He sees a lean figure in the room, and to be polite, he knocks on the door.

"Um, hello?" Johnny says wearily,

"Oh, hi! It's nice to meet you. Your friends told me a lot about you. My name is Daniel Larusso. Are you Johnny Lawrence?"

Johnny wanted to punch him. But he didn't. The guy just had a punchable face and an annoying voice.

"Yeah, nice to meet you, I guess," he whispered in the last part.

“What are you doing here? Don't you have a class to prepare for?" Daniel questions Johnny.

Johnny has had enough. He'd been working here before Larusso showed up. He knows how to do his job.

"I already have; I was here before you; I think I know how to do my job," Johnny retorted.

"Jeez, I was just saying," Daniel starts. But Johnny cuts him off. He needs to put this prick in his place.

“I don't care about what you were saying. But do you know Ali Mills? She's mine. So, I need you to back off. And I don't want you talking to my friends. Got it?”

And the guy has to say, "Yeah?, what are you going to do if I don't?"

And Johnny loses it; he pushes Larusso to the nearest wall and growls at him.

"I will make your life here a living hell," but Larusso doesn't look even a tiny bit scared. Johnny feels Larusso's breath on him. Then he realises how close they are.

He can see Larusso's features closer now. His eyes look like those in a deer cartoon. What was its name? Ah, right, Bambi. Yes, his eyes are like Bambi's. They are so big and brown. His hair looks so fluffy.

Johnny wanted to run his fingers through it. He immediately shook his head away from the thought. It's this guy's first day, and he might already be falling for him.

Wait, that's wrong. He 100% hates Larusso. He's annoying and has tried to steal Johnny's girl (who isn't his girl but will be). But then he makes the mistake of looking at his lips. And the thoughts come back. What would his lips taste like if they were to connect? He stops and realises that Daniel, not Larusso, is doing the same thing.

His ears turn pink, wtf? He likes Ali, not boys. This just makes him madder. "I mean it, Larusso, don't talk to any of my friends and stay away from Ali; you got that?" He growled.

"Yeah, yeah, I got it." Larusso gulped.

Johnny lets go of Larusso's shirt and walks out of the room. "Good."

Daniel's POV

"What the fuck, was that?" he thinks to himself.

He doesn't know if he wants to fight Johnny or kiss him; the way he says his last name is kind of hot. He shakes those thoughts away. "Ok, what the hell? This is so weird."

But he knows for sure that he's not going to stop talking to Ali and the others. For some reason, he feels drawn to Johnny, not Lawrence, and wants to push his buttons. But he also wants to listen to him.

He doesn't want to get beat up, even though he probably won't. But Lawrence would find ways to make his life a living hell. But he's just so handsome. His eyes are the colour of the sea. And his hair, my god, it's beautiful. Those golden locks! And his lips. He wonders how they would taste if they kissed.

He shakes those thoughts away again, "No, Daniel, you can't crush on this guy. He's bad news. He literally threatened you for stealing his girl.”

But she isn't his girl. She was all over him when he first came in. Y'know what? It doesn't matter. School is about to start. He has to get ready. He'll just ignore Lawrence today. He'll do his best to stop thinking about him. Shit, why is he so Daniel groans.

"This is going to be a long day," Daniel mutters to himself.
