A/N: I highly recommend, for this chapter in particular you play the following song for the best visual of this chapter... It's called "Animals" by Maroon 5! It'll start to make sense once the chapter gets going.

Kenny's- Point Of View

Rumor has it that Anthony wants to fight me today for Maliea since he likes her so much. Fuck that idea, Maliea isn't comfortable with conflict, he should know this by now if he's Mr.Know it all! But if he tries to start something with me, I won't be afraid to fight back against him. I have my friends from the Cobra Kai dojo to back me up if anything were to happen, but Lapusso isn't that stupid to start something with me because he knows dang well I'll beat his ass. My plan for today is to do everything in my power to make him jealous! Yeah yeah, I know it's egging him on, but I want to take back the control I lost at his hands. It's gonna go down today, revenge is looking sweet. Luckily for me, Maliea took the new bike my dad had got her for Christmas this past year to school today, which gives me time to tease Anthony and his friends on the bus about her!

As soon as I step foot on the bus, I scan the seats, laying eyes on a rather cheerful-looking Larusso. I give him a slide smirk, staring directly into his eyes until he turns back around to look at his friends. I plopped down next to my friend Robby Keene in the back of the bus, giving him the same smirk. "What are you so happy about?" He gave me a confused smile, "I'm gonna ask my crush out today!" I beamed so the whole bus could hear our ongoing conversation. "What, are you gonna ask out the trash can!? I'm also positive, it'll say yes to only you!" Whipping my head to the middle row, I noticed Anthony had said that, making his friends burst out in laughter. Which made my blood boil even more than ever before. "I'm going to ask out Maliea today." Anthony's face turned from a smirk to a surprised frown, Rebbeca also gave a stunning expression toward me. Robby's face lit up immediately, turning to Tory and giving her a "look." She took notice of this look and nodded in agreement. "You're not gonna ask her out." Anthony huffed. "And why can't he?" Robby argued back. "Anthony likes her, and he's popular so she'll for sure say yes to him!" The whole group sitting next to me tried to hold in their laughter. "Kenny's known her longer than Anthony has. She's also told him differently about her views on Anthony, they aren't good." Tory added on in between laughter. "Leave my little brother alone Tory!" A girl in the back of the bus angrily stood up while the bus made a turn for the highway. "Shut it Larusso, don't make me beat your ass for the third time!" 

The entire bus ride after that was complete silence. Nobody dared to say another word in case something was going to happen at school in the next few minutes. We arrived shortly afterward, everybody got off. Then I noticed from the bus window while waiting to depart, that Maliea was struggling to park her bike in the bike rack in front of the school, but figured it out just in time to run toward the bus drop-off, almost like she was waiting for somebody to get off. Was she waiting for me? A smile grew on her face as soon as she saw me hop off the bus, and walk over to me embracing me in a quick welcome hug. Not sure if Anthony saw us hug, but I hope he did. I couldn't help mirroring her appearance as she skipped away into the building... Her blue eyes always seemed to sparkle in the sunlight, and her wavy brown hair blew in the crisp Winter wind... "Kennyyy! Are you seriously daydreaming about Maliea again!?" Somebody snapped their fingers in front of my face, annoyed. "Oh sorry, what were ya saying?" I shook my thoughts away remembering I was in English class, currently sitting next to Rebbeca. The bell suddenly rang, indicating class was over. "Make sure to complete your homework over the weekend, it's due on Monday!" Mr.Peters yelled out hopelessly to all the chattery students running for the door. Maliea ran out of her math class, pointing toward the door and mouthing "crazy in there." I chuckled heading for my locker and chattering away with Maliea, as I put away my books. "Hey, Kenny! What the fuck man!?  I had told you Anthony and Maliea had a thing for each other, but then you go behind my back and hang out with her!  I thought you liked me..."
