•~3rd person P.O.V~•
Rachel didn't know why Miguel was at her house this time, he just came over sometimes even if he didn't know whether or not her dad was home. But she didn't have much time to pay attention to him, she had things to do.

She'd bought a large grey plastic box from Walmart the other day, she thought that would be all she needed. She needed to put away Elaine's things, they were too painful to look at, and if she ever came back Rachel could simply pull out the box. This led to a full deep cleaning of Rachel's room.

First, she cleaned off her bed and from there she cleaned the rest, throwing Elaine's things onto her bed. Rachel found things she'd completely forgotten about. Elaine's pacifiers, old toys, and some of her very first drawings. Rachel thought about making Elaine a baby book as she put her things neatly into the tote. She had some folders for the drawings so they wouldn't get crinkled and folded.

"Hey, Rach, what're you doing?" Miguel asked, suddenly appearing in Rachel's doorway.

"Putting away Elaine's stuff," Rachel responded bluntly, Miguel still didn't know about Elaine, although he found it weird that she didn't show up anymore.

"Why?" Miguel asked, standing straight instead of leaning against the doorway.

"Because she doesn't live with me anymore." Rachel pushed the lid on the tote, taking it to her closet.

"Why?" That must be his favorite question, Rachel thought.

"Because when I went to my mom's funeral, CPS came and took her." Miguel furrowed his eyebrow, when did she go to her mom's funeral?!

"When did all this happen?" Rachel shrugged.

"About four weeks and two days ago." She'd kept it from him for that long?

"W-Why didn't you tell me?" Rachel shrugged.

"Didn't want to distract you at the tournament I guess." Her mom's funeral was on the day of the tournament? But Johnny was with them.

"But-"

"My dad needed that win and so did you." Rachel looked up at Miguel, when he glanced away he saw the jar of rocks that he'd heard about. Miguel didn't know how to respond.

"You know we got a new student today," Miguel said, changing the subject.

"Really?" Rachel asked, smiling and sitting on her bed. Miguel noticed a big pin board on the wall across from her bed, it had as many pictures pinned to it as possible. There's even some with her and him on it. He smiled just looking at it.

"Yeah, her name's Tory, she's pretty cool." Rachel nodded, feeling her phone buzz in her pocket.

Sam😐:hey, do you wanna go to the beach club with me, my dad, & Robby?

Rachel:when?

Sam😐:like rn, my dad can pick you up.

Rachel:sure.

"Sorry, Miggy, but I have a beach club to go to." She stood, Miguel, watching her throw things in her bag. She looked up, realizing he was still there. "I sort of to put on a bathing suit." Miguel gulped, feeling his eyes grow wide.

"R-Right, sorry." She giggled as he left, closing the door behind him.

"I'm telling you, Aisha's not gonna quit Cobra Kai," Rachel whispered as she grabbed a plate.

"She might," Sam whispered back, glancing at Aisha who was also getting food.

"Hey." Sam smiled, Aisha didn't return one.
