The Next Morning, Isabella was woken up by her mother shaking her awake, "Wake up Bella, there's a boy named Miguel outside, he's asking for you." Fiona explains as Bella then got up and got dressed, not needing a shower due to her taking one once her and Miguel got home the night before.

She soon walked up to the door, confused, meeting eyes with the boy who stood there.
"Hey Mig? What's up?" She questioned. "Listen, Isa about last night, I'm feeling incredibly guilty." Miguel told in all honesty.

She looked down, remembering everything, "yeah, same." She replied, nodding.
"So, I was thinking we should wait for him to get here and then we apologize and say thank you for helping us."
Isabella obviously agreed as they soon sat outside of their apartments, when they heard a sound of a car pull up, which caught their attention.

They looked up to see a red car that belonged to Johnny Lawrence. He parked, then got out, both teens got up and walked towards him.
"Hey, we just wanted to say thank you." Miguel told, "All right, well, you said." Johnny replied, quickly walking away.

Miguel, of course, followed meaning Bella was also following along too. "So, last night, was that like, Tae Kwon Do or Jiujitsu or MMA or something?" Miguel asked.

Bella, noticing the annoyed expression on Johnny's face, so she answered for him.
"It's karate, Miguel." Johnny looked at the girl and nodded, "old school." He added, rubbing the back of his neck, "Do you think you could teach me?" Miguel asked, making Johnny freeze in his spot.

"What? No." He answered,
"But come on-"
"Forget it. I don't do karate anymore, all right, I need to find a job." He stated

"If I may, perhaps you could open up your own Dojo." Bella suggested, Johnny shot her a glare. "Yeah, you could open your own Dojo." Miguel repeated. "Look, I'm not getting into this with y'all. I'm not even sure I'm allowed to be around kids right now." He stated before walking off angrily, leaving the teens, who were watching him sadly.

Later on, Bella and Miguel were throwing out some trash when they felt a hand on their shoulders. They spun around to see Johnny Lawrence staring at them with a grin. "Are you sure you're ready? Cause once you go down this path, there's no turning back." He said, "You're gonna be our Karate teacher?" Miguel asked, Johnny turned to the girl, "No, I'm gonna be your Sensei"

And with that, the three's journey began.

Bella was soon enough standing in the empty building, helping Johnny. She would've asked Miguel to help too, but he was busy. Bella picked up a box that had trophies and pulled them out, "hey, you were a champion right? I didn't know you had these many trophies?" Bella asked examining the one in her hand. "Yeah, I was." He replied, in a sad tone. Which made Bella not push the subject more.

She put the box down and she turned to him. "So anything else you need me to do?" She asked, taking a seat on the mat, Johnny sat down next to her.
"Yeah, i need you to tell me why you want to learn Karate? I saw that punch that you threw, you know how to hit, so why?" He replied.

Bella hung her head low, she expected he would've asked that.
"When I was young, I woke up to hear my parents yelling at each other, when I walked into the living room I saw my dad leave with his stuff in bags, couple weeks later my mom started doing drugs, drinking too. She'd even leave in the middle of the night when she thought I was asleep. Though she did come home around noon, usually after I came back from school. She had to go to rehab, I found her one night, laying in the tub and she almost had an overdose." Bella paused trying to blink away her tears, Johnny watching her closely.

"When I found her, I called the cops, she was sent to the hospital for two weeks. She still has trouble, but, it's not entirely bad as when I was younger." Bella paused once again. "Remember those guys from the fight?" Johnny nodded.

"One time at school, I was making a statement about equality rights and, well, Kyler the tall one, he." She sighed, as she knew she would regret telling someone this. "He poured a milkshake on my head, leaving a cherry on my head. And it was in front to the whole school." Bella looked down, remembering the moment. "But also, they constantly bully me and my friends, I try to stand up to them, but it always fails, I wanna try and learn, so that's why I said yes."

Johnny hesitantly put a comforting arm around the girl and offered a smile, her giving him a weak one as she began messing with the rings on her fingers.
At that moment, Johnny realized that he was going to help Bella and Miguel.
