Cobra Kai AU Fanfic

(Sometimes being innocent can get you hurt...)

Welcome everyone! Today I'll be starting a Cobra Kai fanfic series that follows the canon divergence but is also an AU. I'll make into a series divided by parts like in seasons. And I'll be having an OC as a protagonist alongside other OCs who will play significant roles in this story of mines.

This is my first time posting a fanfic on Tumblr so I'll have to have time to adjust just to get used to the mechanics of posting fanfictions on here👌

I'll also be posting a Karate Kid Fanfic series as well!

CHAPTER 1 🐍🐍

Cameron Collins; a privileged, wealthy, socialite teenager who lives in Encino and attends West Valley High. He has what others envies. Perfect grades, a large house, immense wealth, exotic party planner, a famous plastic surgeon father and a brand ambassador for Giorgio Armani. Despite how amazing his lifestyle is, he's not those privileged encino brats who hurt or judge others. He places himself as a normal human being like the rest. But when a new dojo by the name of Cobra Kai opens in The Valley, what will this do to impact Cameron's curiosity and mysterious wonder of the dojo that was banned since 1985?

---------------------------

December 19th, 1984

All-Valley under 17 Karate Tournament

Loud cries and cheers roar within the arena. Their applause made it fairly obvious that Johnny Lawrence would once again be the champion of the under 18 Karate All-Valley Tournament. Despite the fact that Johnny wanted to fight Daniel himself to settle things once and for all. But Sensei Kreese has other plans, using Bobby to mercilessly injure LaRusso, much to his friend's disgust of his sensei's violent method and disqualification. 

"All right ladies and gentlemen! This is the moment we've been waiting for. The presentable-" the announcer's next words were abruptly cut by Ali tapping his shoulder, whispering incoherent words to the announcer. Johnny glances at his ex-girlfriend with confusion and curiosity. 

"Daniel LaRusso's gonna fight?" The announcer questions in shock, giving Johnny a whiplash at him. He turns back to his sensei who appears just as surprised. He glances behind him to see his very rival limp his way to the ring.

No way...he's set on really beating me. Johnny thinks in his head. Once Daniel reaches the ring and stands in front of him, they both bow curtly. They get into their fighting stances, Johnny being ready to fight him and end this. 

"FIGHT!!!" Just as the referee shouts the command, Johnny strikes first by lunging a strong kick to his rival, only for Daniel to dodge this swiftly and putting him on defense. Johnny decides to continue attacking, staying on offense yet each hit he uses was either blocked or dodged with Daniel's own moves. Frustrated, Johnny unleashes a wide roundhouse to kick Daniel, but this only leaves him open and vulnerable. With one swift block, Daniel punches Johnny in his abdomen. Earning a point and with the crowd cheering wildly in their ears.

LARUSSO - 1

LAWRENCE - 0

Johnny couldn't believe it. He allowed Daniel to score a point because he was too caught up in trying to fight him fairly that his vulnerability caused him to lose this match. Getting back into fighting stances, Johnny strikes first again with newfound vigor. He attacks Daniel before pushing him down on the mat to strike him and earn a point, but it was fruitless as Daniel kicks him off and regains his stance while limping. 

The Cobra Kai prodigy aims a kick, but Daniel instantly drops down on the mat followed by him sweeping and capturing Johnny's legs, pulling him down harshly before striking Johnny's head. Leading to the crowd cheering for LaRusso's second point.

LARUSSO - 2

LAWRENCE - 0

After that attack, Johnny touches his nose only to feel blood cascading down. Irritation and panic courses through his veins when he hasn't scored a single point against Daniel. One more point was all his rival needed to win this championship. It was NERVE WRACKING at this point. The referee ordered both of them to go to their senseis all while Johnny gets insulted by his teammates for being a 'cream puff'.

Johnny appears before Sensei Kreese

 Said older man swipes Johnny's hands away from his bloody nose so that he can clean off the excess blood and keep him concentrated.

"Sweep the leg." Sensei Kreese commands. Johnny becomes nervous at the order, a hesitant expression plastering his face.

"You've got a problem with that?" Kreese challenges, his question laced with venom. Johnny shakes his head.

"No sensei." Understanding where he lies, Johnny had to obey his words in order to win, and not to make a fool of himself in front of his team or Sensei Kreese.

"No Mercy." Kreese affirms, sending Johnny off into the mat once again. Regaining his momentum, Johnny glares at his rival while the latter gets into a defensive stance. The words No Mercy repeating in Johnny's discombobulated mind.

"FIGHT!!!" Johnny lunges forward after the Ref's command, surprising Daniel to where he couldn't react fast enough. Johnny sweeps Daniel's injured leg, making him stumble before kneeing him in the face, making him fall. A shriek of pain escapes Daniel's mouth while Johnny scores his first point

LARUSSO - 2

LAWRENCE - 1

Continuing his merciless onslaught, Johnny flips Daniel over by his injured leg, forcing him to fall. But Daniel rolls away dodging his kicks, until Johnny lunges and elbows Daniel's ribs, earning him a second point.

LARUSSO - 2

LAWRENCE - 2

Daniel strikes this time with a kick, but Johnny catches his injured leg and elbows his calf causing Daniel to yell due to the injury still hurting him while Johnny shows no mercy with his rival.

"Get him in a body bag! Yeah!" Tommy shouts out while Kreese smirks as he sees Johnny gaining the upper hand.

"Illegal contact to the knee." The referee declares to Johnny, watching him stumble to get up. Damn ref, he thought to himself mentally cursing that could have been a point right there.

"This is it folks! Who will be our new champion?" The announcer words ring in both of their ears. Both rivals stare each other down, both having full knowledge that this is it. One final point to win this tournament and become a champion. The heart pounding in their ears throbbing alongside their bruises and wounds while they anticipate each other's next moves.

Johnny watches with confusion as Daniel makes a strange stance, akin to a crane and with one knee up. Not putting much thought after that, Johnny maintains his normal fighting stance to finish this once and for all.

"FINISH HIM!!!" Kreese cuts off Johnny's thoughts, making him go for the final blow. A price that would ultimately lead to his downfall. 

Daniel kicks up his leg with Johnny in range. The kick hits the Cobra Kai prodigy's face hard, knocking the wind out of him before he falls down in pain as Daniel scores his final point.

"THE NEW CHAMPION...DANIEL LARUSSO!!!" It echoes in his ears. 

He lost. He lost the All Valley tournament to his rival. He stays on the mat with his face planted, ashamed and defeated because he lost against the person who won against him. 

He failed. He fucking failed. He failed his teammates. He failed Sensei Kreese. He failed Cobra Kai. He made a fool of himself. A fool in front of Ali, in front of his Monegasque cousins, in front of his friends, in front of Peter, and most of all...in front of Daniel LaRusso. 

He was a loser and a failure, just like Sid taunted him since childhood. Or maybe, he wasn't ruthless enough like Kreese instilled him to be...

Present Day, before first day of school

The rushing staff of the Encino Oaks Country Club with trays of food and drinks couldn't be any busier. Despite it still being summer, school was the very next day. While he enjoys being in the country club and it's atmosphere, he was hoping to go to a party or a popular social event before tomorrow and the big day. He couldn't host a party at the moment due to the house's patio being redesigned and remodeled. There was supposed to be someone remodeling it a week ago but it has been delayed since the guy who was assigned to fix the patio and deck was fired a week ago. 

He sighs, deciding to enjoy his remaining Caprese Insalata and his glass of Acqua Panna. Even if no parties were being hosted today, he was hoping for Sam, Aisha, or Damien to stop by and hang out with. Even though through his 99+ notifications of Instagram and Twitter there were parties being thrown around left and right, none of them were in San Fernando Valley or Los Angeles. They were hosted in Miami, New York, Atlanta, and even in London. He definitely isn't travelling far just for a party with school the next day. Plus his dad said he has a surprise announcement to make when he comes home from the city later on tonight. 

"This could've gone better." He mutters to no one in particular, eating the tomato and mozzarella picked by his fork. 

"Good afternoon Mr. Collins, would you like some caviar today?" A waiter asks the younger male. 

"No but thank you. And please don't call me mister. Just call me Cameron, I'm still a teenager." The aforementioned male replies sheepishly, blanching that he is being referred to as a middle aged male when his age and young features are obvious. 

The waiter nods and leaves, just in time for Cameron to hear his phone receive a notification. He would've ignored it since he hears his phone ping on a daily basis, but a certain text caught his eye. He opens up to read the text.

Samantha LaRusso: I'm hosting a pool party at my house. Moon, Yasmine and everyone else are here. Wanna join?

Cameron's eyes lit up in astonishment. The LaRusso Auto heiress is throwing a party at her luxury villa estate. This is a surprise. Cameron is definitely down to attend this party, he has to make sure his skin is slathered in sun lotion SPF 50, aware of how his white skin can easily be damaged by the sun. He brought his swim trunks and shirt with him to the Country Club with no intention to use it. Now it'll serve it's purpose elsewhere.

Cameron: I'll be there today

With newfound excitement, he places a $100 plus a hefty tip on the table inside an envelope. Ordering an Uber to come pick him up, he puts his phone away, standing up to leave with his Herschel duffle bag. As he is leaving the grandiose dining room, he sees the Auto-Rulers of The Valley in the distance coming in. Daniel and Amanda LaRusso themselves, with Anthony playing on his PS Vita.

Cameron doesn't have a problem with the LaRussos at all. They are family friends of his dad and him. In fact Daniel knew his dad since high school and they became friends in chemistry class back then. But if the LaRussos see him without proper knowledge that he is attending their daughter's party, that could be trouble. It's how he was able to get to know Sam when he and his dad moved from Beverly Hills to Encino and found out his dad's longtime friend lives here.

"Now I see why she's throwing a party without supervision. Her parents and younger brother are away." He ponders in his thoughts. The LaRussos managed to get distracted by the other wealthy members of the Country Club, leading Cameron to slip while carefully aware of his well known presence.

Once he reached the exit of the elegant facility and out onto the red carpeted stairs, he let out a sigh of relief. Thankful that the LaRussos or other known family friends didn't see him. Sometimes he wishes he didn't build such a famous social media presence throughout Los Angeles County and Hollywood. His branding contract with Giorgio Armani makes it alot more difficult to not be recognized by the privileged circle. But he does it out of generosity and making people happy since his joyful and peaceful aura has made people feel a sense of happiness. 

The Uber he calls in came in earlier than expected. He gets into the vehicle, telling the driver the address and location before the car drives off.

It was a brief drive to Sam's villa, but once he got there, he gave the driver the amount paid plus tip before he steps out. Walking further down the pathway to the large villa he sees cars starting to park in the driveway, knowing he has just arrived on time. He makes a left to the backyard to find the people he knows already starting the party. 

"EVERYONE THE PARTY KING IS HERE!!!" Kyler's rough voice hollers out, exposing Cameron's presence much to his chagrin. He wanted to surprise Sam, Moon, Yasmine and the others!

The party guests holler and compliment the socialite's presence just as Sam hugs Cameron. "I'm so glad you made it, Cam! I bet you was trying to surprise us." She states with a smile plastered on her face. 

"I tried so hard. Even at the Country Club I have to hide my presence." Cameron laughs. He feels another weight hug him, he looks to see Moon hugging him in her bikini. His face began to blush.

"I'm so happy you came here to the party! How are you Cam?" She asks as she pulls away while Yasmine gives him a side hug. Cameron did the best he could to hide the blush lightly tinting his face so that Moon wouldn't suspect a thing. Or the other two girls. 

"I'm well. I really thank Sam for hosting a party. I was really bored at the Country Club eating a caprese salad." He replies to her.

"I'm surprised you showed up since you always would get a sun burn just from being even on the poolside." Yasmine says jokingly with Cameron rolling his eyes. 

"I got my sunscreen to protect my disappointing skin complexion so I'm good at least." He responds, holding up the product as proof. The girls laugh as he gives an offended look at Yasmine.

"Anyways the pool house is over there so you can change into your swimsuit." Sam directs behind her. Cameron nods before heading to the small part of the mansion to change.

After changing into a pair of white swim trunks and a white t-shirt, he puts his black collar shirt, slacks, apple watch and dress shoes in the bag and then puts on his sandals. He grasps the lotion bottle, slathering it on his palm and closing the cap. After rubbing the lotion completely he applies to any parts of the body showing skin. Satisfied with the right amount of sunscreen, he wipes his hands with his towel before stepping outside to the pool deck. 

"You were wearing all back just when you got in, now you decided to change to an all white outfit?" Yasmine asks, giving him an amused glance.

"Black absorbs the sun, Yas. White reflects UV light rays and although it'll make me more hotter, I can manage." Cameron comments while setting his bag down on a chair. He sits just beside Yasmine, not trying to sit with Kyler, AJ, Brucks, or Rory who aren't the male friends he'd be with. Sadly once again he wishes Damien was here. 

He'd hope Demetri and Eli would be here too, but that is a wish that'll never happen. Since the binary brother duo aren't into that. 

"Here." Yasmine interrupts his thoughts. Cameron looks inside the cup, only to be repulsed by the strong scent of Ciroc. 

"Yasmine, you know I don't drink alcohol."

"Cameron prefers soda, club soda or anything that's not alcoholic. It's something I learned and picked up over all the parties he threw this summer." Moon adds in, which Cameron nods gratefully.

"Seriously you can't handle just a cup of this?" Yasmine is baffled by the male's refusal of alcohol. For a local socialite and party person, she couldn't understand how he doesn't drink liquor.

"There's sprite and other drinks in the cooler that Rory and Kyler brought in if you want." Sam states. Cameron mouths a thank you. 

"So everyone's here huh? Time to hype it up." Cameron claps, getting up as he heads to the cooler which is by the radio.

"ALRIGHT GUYS LET'S HYPE UP THIS PARTY!!!" Cameron screams, making everyone cheer and holler back. He turns up the music of the radio and takes a sprite from the cooler before sitting back on the pool edges. He whips out his phone and takes pictures, with everyone cheering on and doing signs and stuff.

"Guys ready? One...two...three CHEESE!!!" Cameron takes a picture of him with Moon, Sam, and Yasmine, all smiling. He posts the pictures on his instagram and just like that, the notifications and comments he receives are instantaneous. And it is all it takes for several more people to show up much to Samantha's joy. 

A couple of hours had passed and the sun was starting to get lower in the sky. Rory does a flip in the pool, with everyone exclaiming in wild chatter.

"Okay you were totally right. This is so much fun! Now I know how Cameron feels when he throws his parties." She smiles in excitement. Cameron chuckles now that Sam is relating this experience.

"Told you. Always better to be the one throwing the party," Yasmine pauses as she looks straight ahead before smirking. "And Kyler has been eye banging you all day." 

Cameron watches as Sam and Moon glance at Kyler. But what put him off the most was the bruise around Kyler's eye. Cameron shouldn't have put much thought into it, but it didn't sit right with him. 

What happened to his eye?

"Hey Rory! Do your flip again, I wanna get it on my channel!" Moon's shout snaps Cameron out of his befuddling thoughts when he turns his head to see Moon recording Rory dive flipping in the pool. He cheers along with the others of the impressive stunt, having too much fun with the party. The perfect last day of summer before school.

"Hey, hey, hey what the hell's going on here?" A familiar male voice yells out. Shit. 

Cameron and Sam instantly stand up to see Daniel turn off the radio before facing everyone with agitation. "Alright, everybody get out of here right now."

"I'm so sorry Dad. I had no idea you were going to be home so early." Sam apologizes after walking up to him. Soon the partygoers began feeling awkward before packing their things and leaving.

"It doesn't make a difference what time I get home Sam. Do you think we want strangers in our backyard making a mess!?

"They're not strangers! They're my friends!"

"Yeah some fri- wait Cameron, you're here too?" Daniel's eyes dart to the white teenager in shock. Cameron sheepishly rubs his neck and waves.

"Hi Mr. LaRusso...what a surprise." Cameron greets awkwardly. Although Daniel's eyes were off him when he glances at Rory.

"Is he wearing my bathing suit? Wait are all you guys wearing my bathing suits!? Alright, let's go. Party's over, take the suits off and leave." He motions everyone in the pool to leave. Cameron begins to get his bag but watches and nearly laughs when Daniel stops Rory from taking off the trunks in the middle of everybody.

"No! Not out here genius! In the pool house." Amanda comes in after Daniel's scolding and takes Daniel inside the mansion to speak to him privately. Sam crosses her arms in disdain. Clearly upset with her dad ruining the party.

"Hey," Cameron walks up to Sam, gaining her undivided attention. "I'm sorry it had to go out this way but don't feel too bad. I saw your mother displeased with how Mr. LaRusso was handling it." He tells her. She gives out a small smile in reassurance.

"Thanks Cam. Although I just feel bad for hosting a party without telling my dad." She replies.

"No worries, hopefully he won't ground you and take away your electronics or car keys." He jokes, making the brunette shudder in nervousness.

"Oh god no. Those are my livelihoods right there." She chuckles while Yasmine calls out Cameron.

"Hey Cam, Moon is driving me home. You want a ride to your place too?" The blonde girl asks.

"Yeah! I'll hop in!" He yells back before turning back to Sam. "Stay strong my friend, plus my birthday is Friday so there's already another party underway." Cameron smiles, making Sam laugh at his social audacity.

"Oh my god you and your parties. For sure I'll be going." She answers back.

Cameron nods before hugging her and saying goodbye. 

Once he got home, he got a text from his dad saying he'll be home in 25 minutes and he's got Korean take out for dinner. He puts his clothes in his hamper before having a pair of clean clothes for him. After showering and taking care of his hygiene, he goes to the dining table and takes out his medical textbooks; The Basic Concepts of Medicinal Chemistry, followed by Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology. 

He spent the next 10 minutes reading and using flashcards to write down notes and key terms until he hears the door click open. 

Cameron stops taking notes and gets up to head to the foyer and see his dad carrying bags with their dinner.

"Hi dad. How was work?" He greets, helping his dad by taking the bags to ease his shoulders.

"Oh hey son. I wasn't expecting you to be home early. Well, it went amazing. In fact I have to tell you the amazing surprise about my current position." He greets back, allowing his son to put the take out on the table. With the plates all set up and the different dishes splayed across, he clears his throat while giving Cameron samgyeopsal, bibimbap, kimchi and japchae.

"I opened up a private office in the West Valley General Hospital. The board here is thrilled to have me here as the West Coast's top plastic surgeon. Since I've had a huge number of successful surgeries both in plastic and original surgery operations, the hospital is having me open my office, plus I am part of the executive board there."

The announcement causes the teenager to cease everything he was doing. Cameron is awestruck by this amazing news he was hearing. Now, dad's closer to home and he doesn't need to travel to Los Angeles most of the time and come back at very late hours despite his extreme success in his career.

"Dad...this is amazing! You'll be close to home, and be able to spend more time!" He shouts happily, seeing how much his dad's expression changes to a huge smile. Upon further reflection, Cameron pauses. "Wait...what about your office and hospital in Los Angeles? Do you plan on shutting it down to relocate here?"

His dad shakes his head. "No, the office in the city will still be there alongside the hospital. I'm just relocating to the Valley and making the office here as the main office. Besides, keeping the LA office is a good real estate investment, not to mention the other investments in the hospitals and West Valley General." He replies, after serving himself bulgogi with japchae and bibimbap. 

Cameron is unable to keep the happiness showing from his expression now that dad would be close and be home earlier than usual. He begans to slurp up his ramen with chopsticks. After gulping it down with water, his dad clears his throat once again to gain his attention.

"So, I received a call from a certain Daniel LaRusso, telling me you attended his daughter's party that she did without his permission." With that Cameron sighs, unable to suppress a meek smile on his face.

"Yeah, I was originally at the Country Club but it was very boring. Plus no one was there, and Damien just sent me a text saying he landed in LAX 25 minutes ago after spending a whole 3 weeks in Singapore." Cameron responds. "So I decided to go to Sam's party to have fun."

"I understand that part. Daniel doesn't have a problem with you hanging out around Sam, but it's the current friends you two share. Going on about how those friends are 'privileged encino brats' and he doesn't want you or Sam to be like them." This causes Cameron to look up from his food to his father's eyes.

"Dad, I would never turn out to be like them. I was raised to show respect, have kindness and generosity for everyone around me. It's what you taught me and how I want to treat others and vice versa." He answers hoping his father would believe him. He searched his eyes to hope he was hearing his honest words.

"Of course Cam I never doubted you. I know from my heart you have a pure heart of gold. It's just I realize that you and Robby don't hang out anymore." The mentioning of that name causes Cameron to pause. "I remember all the times you would hang out with him, stay over at his house for sleepovers and play games, play soccer and skateboard with him. It's memories I know you hold alot of regard for." His dad continues. Cameron remains silent.

Robby Keene. His childhood best friend since elementary school. He glances to his left to see the wall towards the living room with all the pictures. He was looking at one frame in particular. 

It was a picture of him and Robby, winning their soccer game together back when they were 8 years old. He even has the same picture in his room. He felt a warm sensation touch his hand, making him turn his head to see his dad's hand on top of his.

"I know Cameron. Robby has alot going on right now with his situation. I told him before that he is always welcome to stay here if needed to. Like his second home." His dad responds.

"I kind of blame myself. Even though he's intelligent, creative, genuine and has a strong sense of will, those months last year of me taking my AP classes led me to leave him unattended and he was struggling alot more than before. Then him meeting...Trey and Cruz changed everything." He explains, the latter two names leaving a sour and bitter taste in his mouth. 

"Cameron, do you think Robby would have approved of you stopping short to make yourself more academically successful? I don't mean to sound as if I'm imposing but he would lecture you similar to how I would if you were failing." His dad's words, although sharp and important, were said with a soft tone.

He's right. Robby would probably lecture and scold him for staying behind in his studies from trying to sell himself short. Not to mention all of the parties he's thrown this summer, Robby would be baffled to see this exotic side of him. 

"But...Robby is always welcomed here. So by his choice, he can come and visit us. And reconcile the strong, platonic and trustful bond you two always had."

"Still have. Despite what happened and the incident with Trey and Cruz, I never held it against Robby. I told him I'll always be by his side if anything were to happen to him. I'll still be his friend. I never cut ties with him...and neither did he." Cameron answers back, a confident tone laced in his words.

He remembered the bitter words Trey and Cruz insulted him with the day he was with Robby. It was like yesterday he heard those words.

-Flashback-

"What's a rich, bougie, encino kid doing in North Hills?" Trey presses while staring him down.

"So white boy is friends with a thug? Might as well piss the fuck off if you don't wanna get robbed, encino punk." The vaguely Latin guy, Cruz tells him off.

The two men before him, were Robby Keene's friends. More like partners in crime since he is able to see who they are and how spiteful they were towards him.

He had spent his time getting early college courses for medicine and biology, as well as setting up his business, taking AP courses, and staying after school for finishing homework early. This spanned for 4 months, all while sacrificing time to hang out with friends, including Robby. Now before him, stands two shady young adults who are Robby's friends.

Cameron blames himself for not being able to spend more time with his childhood best friend, instead choosing to attain education at an earlier rate. Now this is the consequences for trying to reach that milestone in his life.

They continued to taunt and bully him. Doing whatever it takes to intimidate him. Cameron was intimidated since he never saw or met them before, but he wasn't letting them cower him away.

At least not until they pulled a cruel stunt on him. Trey pushes him off his skateboard, before Cruz goes ahead and piece by piece break the sleek black skateboard apart. The two criminals holler and laugh in mockery as Cameron watches in shock at the two of them destroying his skateboard.

"We got rid of your shitty ass board." Cruz taunts.

"Now you got no fucking business in being around here and seeing Robby, Mr. Perfect. But you snitch on us to him, we will do worse than break your board to you and Robby." Trey adds in with a cold tone. The two of them leave a distraught Cameron behind as the privileged teenager collects his thoughts before regaining to speak. The event leaves him a little speechless, getting up and heading home.

By the time he gets to the familiar neighborhood where his house is, a genuine and very familiar voice calls out to him.

"Ron!" Cameron lifts his head in surprise to see Robby skateboard towards him from where his house is. "Hey I tried calling you but you weren't answering. I went to your dad and he mentioned you went to the skateboard park already."

Cameron blinks before shaking his head in realization. He takes out his phone to see 5 missed calls and 3 text messages from his childhood friend. "Sorry I didn't respond. My phone was on silent mode."

Robby tilts his head in confusion at Cameron's reply. To him, it sounded off and numb.

"Hey, you okay? You look really off." Robby's question makes Cameron put himself in deep thought. He really wanted to tell the truth to his friend. He wanted to say what Trey and Cruz did to him. But remembering the words Trey threatened him with alongside Robby, he couldn't bear to see his friend get hurt over an incident since he doesn't know what those two are capable of. So...he decided to protect Robby from harm.

"My skateboard broke beyond repair. I crashed...but my skateboard fell to the point the wheels and front side became damaged. I decided to throw it away." Cameron lies, keeping a level headed expression. Robby's face is surprised as he hears this.

"Shit. We can help still get it repaired and try to help it. The damages shouldn't be as bad as it sounds."

If only you knew and if I can tell you. He thinks to himself. "Nevermind. It's already thrown away. I'll buy a new one later on." Cameron shuts down his idea. Robby frowns while observing his friend's behavior. But he was interrupted by the ringtone of his phone. Robby picks it up.

"Yeah Trey?" The name alone made Cameron internally stiffen. "Yeah I'm heading to the place now...alright...I'll see you soon." Robby finishes the conversation as he hangs up. "Sorry that this happened to you. But we need to plan another day for us to skateboard."

"No worries I understand. It's kind of my fault." Cameron responds, restraining the hurtful look from plastering his face.

"Don't say that. Accidents happen..." Robby trails off, before pausing. "Ron...don't blame yourself for actions you couldn't control. There are situations that can actually put us in places of no power over it. It was an accident. I know you never lie about this."

This hurts Cameron to the core, and as much as he wants to tell Robby what is going on, he wants to protect him and keep him safe. He nods to him and smiles.

"Thanks. I understand Robby." He pauses after saying this. "No matter what happens Robby, I'll always be your friend and trust you regardless of anything. Even if we have different lives, we are both humans and are close friends." This makes Robby feel a sense of hope and valuing the raven haired friend before him. Their trust runs deep and strong.

"Thanks Ron. It means alot. I'm always going to be there for you as well. Never be afraid to tell me anything."

Those words alone put a painful tinge inside of him, despite the forced smile on Cameron's face. Robby bids him bye. The raven haired friend watches him balance on his board down the eloquent sidewalk, leaving Cameron with his stressful thoughts.

-Flashback end, Present-

It stung. It really was hurtful to hear those words and batches of insults raining from their mouths like heated arrows. But what hurt most was not telling him the truth of what happened to him with Trey and Cruz. He chose to protect Robby from getting him harmed by those two older men. Was it wrong for him to do? Did he trust Robby? No- he does trust Robby. But why did he hide it from him? Maybe he should have told him what happen, as the outcome would have been different. Cameron sighs disdainfully for his own screw up.

Robby's still his friend. He'll always be there for him if something bad happens, even if it's a life threatening situation. He doesn't have no one else to truly rely on...except himself and Cameron. 

The tense atmosphere disappears after feeling his dad grasp his shoulder. "Sorry if I made this a sensitive topic. My main goal in life...is to provide you love and happiness. Your future…is our top priority as well. But your emotional well being is the most important thing." His dad tells him, making the aforementioned teenager nod. His hair gets ruffled much to his chagrin. 

"Alright now, let's enjoy the rest of this Korean take out." They both chuckle, eating their dinner. The rest of the time was spent talking about school this year and his birthday, which was in the same week and on a Friday. When they were both done with their dinners, they put away the take out before washing dishes and cleaning the table. He makes himself chamomile tea while taking his textbooks upstairs to resume his medical studies.

He continued to write down notes and read more details and key terms within his 2 textbooks. The moment his eyelids felt heavy, he shook his head and closed his book. Looking at the time, it was 10:47pm. 

"Wow, I've been studying for 3 hours." He yawns out. Cameron takes out the box of his suit and white collar shirt for his outfit for tomorrow, and his own shoes just beside his bed. He will dress business casual for his first day. He is West Valley High's fashion icon.

He goes to his bed and shuts off the light. Staring into space as he lets his eyes close from tiredness, falling into a deep sleep knowing tomorrow he's starting his sophomore year. 

Hopefully, it'll be a normal school year for him and everyone else. 

To be honest, Robby being an intelligent character doesn't just stem from his creative mindset. Majority of his intellect does come from creativity with his karate skills and athletic nature, but I also think that Robby is also intelligent academically especially since he loves to read literature to learn and absorb new things.

He was probably an honor roll student in elementary and middle school before he started to hang out with Trey and Cruz. (which he had to do in order to help him and his mother out with food and money) and the fact he still retains immense knowledge amazes me along with him being talented. Robby's potential is 📈📈📈

This was the most shocking yet funniest part of this episode. Demetri falling in love with Yasmine in just one go.

I anticipated for them to be friends, but that phase was skipped😂
