I am not sure that I like framing what is happening as right and wrong. As far as I can tell both Sarah's and Irma/Irving's feelings are honest and legitimate. Neither seems to intends to be malicious to the other. Neither seems to really understand how the other is feeling.
Unfortunately they're kids. Kids learn how to be good friends through failure as much as through success. There is a measure of character in the lessons learned from those failures.
