Cherry had texted Sam, saying that they could talk the next night. Aisha had slept over the night before and Cherry also had some time with her parents. "How long are you guys staying for?" "A month. So you get your first month of summer with us." "Great, but the guys, Aisha and I are going to the beach today." "That's all right, we're tired from our flight anyway. We'll see you tonight, okay?" "Okay, bye guys. I love you." "We love you too." "Have fun." Cherry nodded and she and Aisha left. After picking up Miguel, they arrived to the beach to see Eli and Demetri already there, playing volleyball.
Cherry knew something was up with Miguel, so she told Moon and Aisha to go ahead. "Why are you sulking?" Demetri asked. "It's a beautiful day, you have your hot girlfriend with you." Miguel sighed. "It's about sensei and Robby Keene." This confused Cherry. "Miguel, what are you talking about?"
"I think sensei is Robby's dad."
Eli and Cherry shared a look.
"Why do you think that?" "The other night, I went to his apartment to leave some food. After I closed his fridge, I saw a picture - it looked like Robby when he was younger and on the soccer team." Cherry furrowed her eyebrows. "Is this because of the punishment he gave you guys?" "I would make sense," Eli admitted.
"What do you mean?"
"He went hard on us because we hurt his son." "Are you sure Robby is Johnny's son?" "Positive." "Don't worry, I'll look into it. In the mean time, you two go have fun." Cherry nodded and they layed their stuff down.

That night, Cherry went to the LaRusso house. Taking a deep breath, she knocked on the door. Her heart pounded against her chest as she heard footsteps get closer and closer. "Hey Cherry." "Hey, Sam." "Come in." Sam opened the door wider and let the redhead in. "Let's go to my room. I want to talk in private before my family talks with you." Cherry nodded and followed Sam up to her room.
It hasn't changed, Cherry noticed.
Sam closed the door behind Cherry and they both sat on her bed. "I -" "You go first." Both girls said in unison. They both laughed and Cherry let Sam go first. "I'm sorry, for everything. Like I said that one day, I let the idea of popularity get into my head. I pushed away my best friends. And I stole Miguel from you. I guess I started liking him the day you guys defended me and beat Kyler up. And I was jealous of the friendship you guys had, so, I flirted and kissed him - which wasn't right of me." Cherry sighed.
"And I'm sorry for being a bitch. And telling Robby to stay away from you. I was just so angry." "I understand, and I didn't make things better when I told my dad you started going out with Miguel after he broke up with me. Can we just start over? I know we can't be best friends right now, but we can always work to that together, right?"
