I couldn't even sleep all that day. I didn't even attend any classes and on top of that I haven't even checked to see if I had assignments. Nothing was more important than this fight, not even this damn school. Nothing would matter if I lost. 

I was wrapping my hands and knuckles with tape knowing it would give me an extra boost. I felt sick all of a sudden, I never felt like this before. Before, this fight seemed like a honor and privileged, now it seemed a like damned tragedy. I'm so stupid! Now, I feel felt my body ache and become sick, then I ran into the bathroom throwing up bile. The acid stung my throat as well as the bitter taste lingering on my tongue. Dammit... I flush the toilet before heading to the sink while washing out my mouth with mouth wash. Get it together! I splash some water on my face hoping it would calm me down, but nothing felt right anymore. 

I hear the door open and I look up from my book. "Hi guys how was training?" I ask Merida and Mulan. I hope Mulan's ok she does seem a bit shaken up. I sit up and watch Mulan carefully making sure she doesn't collapse. "Did everything go alright?"

Aurora had finally let me out of the dorm room, but only if Merida were to accompany me. I didn't mind her much now. After the forest training, I had been thinking a lot about her, and Aurora. Merida was strong, and intimidating. And of course beautiful. We walked into the school's gym seeing no one was inside. Only a few people coming in and out, but mostly empty. "We'll be in the dance studio. I usually do my training in there, or in the small dojo. But it seems like someone is in there." I say peering over Merida's shoulder to look into the dojo that was closed. 

I arrive at Granny's earlier than I should have. I pick a table closet to the window so I can see when Aurora arrives. While I wait I order our drinks hoping Aurora likes hot coco. As the drinks arrive i see Aurora in the window.
