"Hey Sakura!" I heard a familiar voice call to me.
I turned around to see my friend, Hina. She smiled brightly and walked over.
"Wanna walk to class with me today?" She asked.
I smiled softly and nodded. "Yeah."
We began to walk out of the student dorms, which is where we all stay.
"Doughnut?" Hina asked me holding up a glazed doughnut.
"I'm good, but thank you." I said holding up a protein shake I had just gotten.
"Suit yourself." She chimed happily before taking a bite out of the doughnut.
We walked into class and took our seats. Junko walked over and put a hand on my desk leaning on it a bit.
"Hey Sakura?" She said.
I looked at her. "Yes?" I asked.
"Can I borrow your notes?" She asked. "I wasn't paying attention yesterday. I had something on my mind so I couldn't think straight." She explained.
I got out my notes and handed them to her. "Might I ask what was on your mind? Maybe I can help."
She took the papers and smiled. "Oh it was nothing. Thanks though." She said before walking back to her seat.
'That was strange.' I thought to myself before I felt someone poke my arm. I looked to my right and saw Hina.
"What'd Junko want?" She asked.
"My notes. She didn't take any yesterday." I replied.
"Ah." She said before eating another doughnut.
"Why?" I asked.
"I'm just curious." She replied.
Toko walked over and sat down in her seat which was between Hina and Chihiro.
"Hey Toko!" Hina greeted her.
"H-hello..." Toko said.
"Hi." I said to her.
"H-hi..." She stuttered.
She always seemed nervous, but she got picked on a bit. On the first day I had actually helped her get away from some bullies but she seemed kind of scared of me. There were always a few people that were scared of me though, no matter what. I was used to it though. I became stronger for Kenshiro, the only man I couldn't beat, my boyfriend who was... dying... It may have made some people scared of me but I became stronger for him and I will beat him when he gets better, otherwise the title of strongest person in the world means nothing to me.
I sighed quietly and the person in front of me, Sayaka Maizono, turned around.
"Are you okay, Sakura?" She asked.
I nodded. "Yes, I... I am just dealing with some unpleasant thoughts."
"Unpleasant thoughts?" She asked me.
I nodded. "Yes, just memories of someone close to me."
"Oh, did something happen?" She looked worried.
"Yes, but it happened a while ago." I told her.
"What was it?" She asked.
"Well..." I hesitated. "My boyfriend, Kenshiro, was the only one I couldn't beat and he was given six months to live because of a sickness he's gotten..."
"I'm sorry to hear that." She said to me with a saddened look. "It must be hard for you."
I nodded. "Yes, but I have hope that he'll get better soon."
She smiled slightly and nodded. "I'm sure he will."
"When he gets better I'll fight him again." I said. "He had the title of strongest person in the world and he passed it down to me when he found out that he was ill. It means nothing to me until I can beat him."
Sayaka nodded. "I'm sure you'll be able to do it!"
I smiled and nodded. "I am too."
