Y/n was not buying any of Daniel's act. She just could not believe it. It was just so out of pocket.

She was scared of two things-

1.Disappointed Daniel.

2.Disappointing Daniel.

Disappointed because she knew the cobras well, and what if they were playing some game with him? He would be disappointed in the last.

Disappointing him by not respecting his decision for playing buddies with the cobras. And a part of her told her maybe they all were good and finally got some sense in them.

''Time will tell. I seriously can not understand boys. One minute they all are ready to kill each other and the other they act like their life depends on each other.'' She thought to herself and started waling towards her next class while Daniel just stood there.

''Trouble in paradise?'' 

Daniel turned around to see Mike standing there with a stupid grin on his face.

''What is it to you?'' Daniel asked.

''Nothing. But looks like Y/n is not in the love of the idea of you hanging out with those morons.'' He shrugged.

''She is okay with it and why do you care?'' Daniel scoffed.

''If you don't care about her feelings, does not mean I also don't.'' Mike smirked.

''The fuck do you mean by that?'' Daniel narrowed his eyes.

Mike stepped closer.

''What I mean by that is I noticed the way you got more close to the cobras now that Y/n is my friend. Why?'' He asked.

''Seriously Mike, stop running your horses.'' Daniel rolled his eyes.

'' Oh I will, once you tell me why. Because from what I have heard, you and the cobras have a real nasty history. Johnny defeated you in a Karate tournament. Right?'' Mike smirked.

''He would beat you too.'' Daniel smirked back.

''Oh really?'' Mike asked and he seemed to think about it.

''Look man, me, Y/n and the cobras have known each other for a quite a time now, so it's common to talk with them, alright?''

''Common? I remember you being not so happy about them the day I met you.'' Mike raised an eyebrow.

''Is this rapid fire? You don't belong in all of this, so better stay out of it and not question anything about whatever the fuck is going on in my life.''

''I see. You have changed, Larusso.''

''Yeah, whatever your eyes see. Barnes.'' Daniel scoffed and turned to leave.

One thing was sure, that this new behavior of Daniel did not go unnoticed by Mike and that was not a good sign at all.

Daniel decided to bunk a lecture as he was still irritated from the conversation he just had and that irritation won't help him focus.

''I'll tell Y/n that I was not feeling so well. She will understand.'' He muttered to himself and went behind the college to seek some isolation.

But of course he could never get the isolation.

''Hey, Larusso!'' Dutch grinned.

''What the fuck are you doing behind here?'' Johnny asked while he was rolling a joint.

''He probably needs a hit. Right?'' Tommy laughed.

''I guess, I do.'' Daniel muttered.

''What?'' Johnny asked.

'' Of course not. I don't do drugs like you guys, no matter how bad the situation is.'' Daniel scoffed.

''Suit yourself.'' Johnny shrugged as he brought the lighter close to the joint and took a hit.

'' Can't you guys...uh- maybe go somewhere else?'' Daniel asked.

''Where?'' Jimmy asked.

''Maybe some other place. I need this place to think.'' He answered.

''Big brain time huh. Well guess what Larusso, our fathers don't own this place that we can go anywhere and smoke. Unless...your father owns it.'' Johnny smirked.

The cobras burst out laughing.

''Haha, very funny. Was I supposed to give you a medal for being the most annoying?'' Daniel shot back.

''I mean...I could work with any medal. A medal is a medal.'' Johnny shrugged as he passed the joint to Bobby.

''Well that medal would go to Mike. He questioned me.'' Daniel sighed.

''What is he? FBI?'' Dutch laughed and Johnny gestured him to be shush.

''He said that he is noticing the way I got more friendly with you guys. He noticed the change I went through from day one to now.'' Daniel answered.

''And are you scared?'' Johnny asked.

''Wha- No.'' Daniel quickly answered.

''Then why the fuck are you stressing it up? He can't do shit to you or any of us. So don't worry.'' Johnny laughed.

''What if it messes our plan?'' Daniel asked.

''We have a plan?'' Bobby asked.

''I don't know.'' Johnny shrugged as Jimmy handed him the joint back.

''C'mon. You guys are not even serious. The plan. To keep that guy away from her.'' Daniel sighed.

''Oh that. But that is not what you call a plan, man. That is just..uh- sort of- like our..uh- mission's name. The layout? We have nothing.'' Johnny laughed as he took another hit and blew the smoke out in Daniel's face.

''Then think about it.'' Daniel rolled his eyes.

''I am. You know we all go  a bit crazy about plans, maybe we could use some of your plans. Or maybe we could bully Mike, like we did with you.'' Johnny suggested.

''Oh don;t do that, man. Dear Larusso will get some flashbacks.'' Tommy laughed.

''It's not that and don't do this bullying shit. Because if Y/n gets to know about it, she will murder us all.'' Bobby suggested.

''Hmm. I still wonder what she saw in him.'' Johnny said his thoughts aloud.

''Nothing. She is too friendly.'' Jimmy answered.

''Or too dumb.'' Johnny scoffed.

''Both, actually. And Mike? He is too smart.'' Daniel added.

''Right. We need to think this through. Karate season is coming back though. Larusso? You in?'' Johnny asked.

''I don't know.'' Daniel answered.

''What do you mean?'' Johnny asked.

''Mr. Miyagi said he is going to Okinawa, for what? I don't know. And that means that I won't be able to do karate anymore or participate in the next tournament.'' Daniel sighed.

''You do have a last resort though.'' Tommy grinned and Johnny playfully nudged him.

''Cobra kai.'' Johnny smirked.

''No way.'' daniel scoffed.

''Suit yourself. What about Y/n? Last I heard she was thinking about getting out.'' Johnny asked.

''Yeah she is.'' Daniel confirmed.

''She still did not pay the dojo a visit to announce her exit though.'' Johnny raised an eyebrow.

''Maybe she forgot?'' Dutch shrugged.

''Do ask her about Karate.'' Johnny said to Daniel and he nodded.

Johnny had a little hope that Y/n might stay and maybe he would get to know where things went wrong between them.

''You see...her father-''

''He is back?'' Johnny asked.

''Yeah. You don't know?'' Daniel asked.

''well no. It wasn't like we were dating or anything.'' Johnny sarcastically answered.

''Anyways, he is back and does not want her to do Karate. That's why she has to leave.'' Daniel explained.

''That's got to hurt. She was so good.'' Bobby sighed.

''And let me guess? She did not argue back or something?'' Johnny asked.

''Nope. She said yes.'' Daniel shrugged.

''That is so not her. Something's wrong. She would never stay quiet.'' Johnny muttered.

''It's her father, dude.'' Tommy shrugged.

''So what? He does not get to dictate her life and knowing her? She would argue back about it but something must have held her back.'' Johnny suggested.

''Got any ideas?'' Jimmy asked.

''Could be anything. But I do remember that she told me that her father was not good and that he left her and Mrs. Jones when Y/n was just a kid. And now he is suddenly back?'' Johnny groaned.

''I never met him. She says he is an angry man.'' Daniel said.

''Who cares who he is. When did he come back?'' Johnny asked.

''The night of the tournament. Right after you won.'' Daniel answered.

''I don't know man. Something's fishy.'' Bobby added.

'' I agree. Alright. Larusso? You ask her about continuing Karate and I will handle Mike and tell him not to bother you anymore.'' Johnny said.

''I don't need your help.'' Daniel shook his head.

''I don't care. I need to get him off your tail because I believe you might slip and spill something.'' Johnny scoffed.

''Unbelievable.'' Daniel muttered.

A/n: y/n's dad is a big player y'all!
