-Sam?-. I snorted.
-Hi-. She greeted me with her usual charming smile.
-What are you doing here? Did my father call you?-. I asked her with annoyance, it wouldn't be strange at all if my father did that to continue making fun of me.
-What?-. I realized that she didn't know anything, and the one who was looking stupid was me; and just try to hide it.
-Nothing-. I closed the door behind me, I knew that my father knew that when I did that, it was one of my "girl things".
-Um, can I help you with something?-.
-Nope, I just came here to apologize properly-.
-What? Why you should?-.
-For not having helped you with that stupid McWeed' thing-.
-That? Sam, that It's perfectly fine now-. After what had happened with that idiot Kyler in the school, we were even.
-I know, but, since I just apologized to Aisha, I felt like I owed you a decent apology too.-
-Oh, Sam, that's so sweet, wait, when did you talk to Aisha?-.
-I just got back from her tournament-.
-Yeah, Demetri told me about that-.
-And... Did you talk to Demetri?-.
-It is a long history, I'll tell you later... it must have been great-.
-Well, it wasn't bad at all, and everyone went, what about you? why didn't you go?-.
-I couldn't, I'm punished-. I said with all my frustration, but I couldn't lie to her, at least, not after she came to apologize to me.
-And how did you go to the party?-.
-I'm punished for going to that party- I said with my worst face, although, in less than a second, my expression relaxed a little.
-But, don't worry, it's worth it-. We both knew very well what I was referring to.
-Yeah, I must admit that Yasmine is not going to forget easily what happened to her down there, not for a while-. Even though that sounded bad, (and it was quite despicable), it made me laugh, because I think everyone knew she deserved it.-Could I at least thank you? Moon told me that you talked to her-.
-I just told her that if I had done something... of that nature... I wouldn't have confronted Kyler the way you did-.
-Well, thanks for that, she said it was the "least feminist" thing she's ever done-. She Said and we both laughed; In that moment, I was happy, Sam had reconsidered and it sounded like she had regained his friendship with Aisha and Moon, Yasmine's friendship depended completely on her; And... to avoid a most uncomfortable silence... It only occurred to me to ask her about one more topic:
-I heard you broke up with Miguel-. She looked down. (I know, it couldn't have been worse, but it was the best thing I could think of, besides, I believed it was what popular girls like her talked about, the idiots of their ex-boyfriends).-I think we both broke up with each other-. She said looking at the floor, and I didn't know what else to say or if I should go home, I had never had a boyfriend or a best friend with whom I could talk about that particular topic (my mom wasn't exactly "good" speaking of this kind of thing, strangely, the one who could be moderately good with his advice about boys and girls was my dad, but I had never felt the need to follow them, or maybe I just felt that way because I had been alone with him too much lately). But, thank God, she recovered quickly and spoke first before I opened my big mouth once again.
-So then, I'm so sorry-. She offered me her hand, and I didn't hesitate for a single second.
-Apology accepted-. I accepted her handshake, I would have liked to hug her for her breakup, but we still didn't have that trust... Yet...
To balance our scales, she said:
-Are you still punished?-.
-Yes, (and, please, don't remind me)-.
-Well, when you are no longer, I would like to invite you to my house sometime, there won't be any kind of problem with my parents, I owe you-. I just smiled friendly and answered her:
-Anytime-.
-Honestly, your father doesn't look like those who punish-. I was surprised that she did notice him.
-Oh, darling, he once punished me for killing a little bug-.
-No way-.
-I swear to God it was an accident-. This time, I made her laugh.
After a minute, she asked me:
-Hey, and where is your mother? I have never seen her-.
-It's because she is still in Boston, taking care of Lou... Mrs. pierce-.
-Nice-.
Suddenly, a car passed right down the street in front of us and stopped at the house next door, I knew it was Sam's dad.
-He's my dad, he went to take Robby home, do you want me to introduce him to you?-. I think I have already met him; Sam didn't even let me respond, when this man got out of his car and approached us, and I had no doubt, it was him, that boy from the clipping from my parents' newspaper, Daniel Larusso.-You must be Ann, right? Nice to meet you-. He offered me his hand, I was stunned, I didn't know what to do, since in general I wasn't very good with adults...
-Larusso-. a small whisper came out of me. I looked at him like I was looking at a diamond, until Sam asked me:
-Did you know my father?-. While she looked at me with a face like, What the hell are you doing now?, and even I thought about it.
-Yes, I mean no, I'm sorry, I... recognized you from the newspaper-.
-Newspaper?-. I was making a bad first impression, especially on Sam (Really, who reads the newspaper nowadays? For God's sake!).
-Yes, you must know my...-.
-Who is it, honey?-. Dad asked as he walked outside. Both gentlemen looked at each other for a second, the second most tense and uncertain in the whole universe, when finally Mr.Larusso said:
-McGowen?-. And dad just responded with open arms.
-Larusso!-.
