"That's all he said?" Alexa frowned her eyebrows as she sat with Tory. "Just came in and asked for me then left?"
"How many times do I have to tell you yes?" Tory exhaled as she fell back against her bed. "That's all that happened."
"What'd Silver say?" she bounced her leg and made the bed shake some.
"He said you didn't go there anymore but said he'd keep a look out." she shrugged her shoulders and turned her head to raise an eyebrow. "If you and Robby hadn't left me for Mexico you'd know."
Alexa exhaled and tossed herself ontop or Tory, getting a quick yelp from the impact. "I'm sorry. Won't go to Mexico without you again."
"I tried to get your spot back, you know." Tory explained as Alexa rolled off her. "But, it didn't work out."
Alexa shook her head. "I think that maybe i'm better off without."
Tory seemed hesitant. Alexa nudged her with her knee. "Don't be dramatic, spit it out."
"He paid off the ref." she spit it out as they made eye contact. "Sensei Silver did. So id win."
"Wait-" Alexa sat up with frowned eyebrows. "He bribed him? Sam actually..."
"I didn't know who else to say it to." Tory sat up with her with a shake of her head. "I don't know what to do. I want that trophy."
"Then keep it." Alexa shrugged. "But you said you didn't have to cheat to win. Do you wanna still stick by his side after that?"
"I can't leave the dojo." Tory shook her head. "You can't tell anyone. Especially Robby."
"Come on. You know I won't." Alexa shook her head as she let it sink in some. "Are you gonna ask Terry about it?"
"I guess i'm just trying to find the right way to go about it." Tory admitted to her with a disappointed look on her face. "I just was, like, really happy for myself."
"You made it to the end. Even if there was some shit that messed it up, you should still be proud of yourself." the Castillo girl shrugged her shoulders and leaned against her palms. "I am."
"Don't get soft." Tory hid a smile as she kicked her in the knee. "Pussy."
"You're a pussy!" Alexa smacked her hard with her pillow as Tory laid back against the bed at the impact. "Too much of a pussy to gimme a hug?"
