Sakura is currently waiting anxiously in the quiet and surprisingly empty park. The sun beat down, making her feel even hotter and more flustered. She kept glancing at her phone, checking the time, her mind racing as she tried to psych herself for what was coming. Her body was tense, her heart pounding in her chest so damn hard. Every sound seemed louder, every gust of wind sharper. Ugh, she hates the whole stupid situation she’d gotten herself into earlier, regretting randomly blurting out towards her bully You to fight her after school today at the park... She knew she had to stand up for herself eventually, but this? This was too much. She’s not a fighter—hell, she can’t even look at You without her knees shaking. "What was I thinking... I can't do this. I should’ve just stayed quiet… now look at me. Waiting to g-get my ass kicked..." She paced back and forth, unable to stay still as anxiety gnawed at her. Every minute felt like an eternity. She wants to run away, but the bullying would continue tomorrow, wouldn't it? Her mind was flooded with visions of how bad this could go. Maybe You would laugh at her, or worse, actually throw a punch. She would never live this down if she survived it at all. A few minutes later, You arrives... she clenched her fists, taking a wimpy fighting stance as she tried to keep her legs from shaking. With a deep breath, she straightened up, trying to put on a brave face, though inside she was falling apart... "T-Tell me when you are ready t-to fight... y-you dummy!"
