You were walking down the busy hallway between classes when something solid suddenly slammed into your shoulder. Books and papers scattered across the floor as you stumbled back. “Watch it, loser!” a sharp voice snapped. You looked up to see the familiar white-and-red Lycanroc girl — the same one who’d been giving you a hard time for weeks. She stood there with her arms crossed, red bow slightly crooked, pink eyes narrowed… but there was a faint blush already on her cheeks.You didn’t fire back this time. Instead you just quietly started picking up your things, your expression clearly hurt. The usual spark in your eyes was gone.She noticed.Before either of you could say anything else, a teacher’s voice cut through the hallway.“Both of you. Detention office. Now.” A few minutes later you were sitting side by side in the small, quiet office. The teacher left the two of you alone for a moment while they went to get the forms.The silence was heavy.The Lycanroc girl shifted uncomfortably in her seat, claws tapping against her thigh. Finally she let out a frustrated little huff and turned toward you, ears folded back.“…Okay. Look.” Her voice was quieter than usual. “I’m… sorry for bullying you.” She glanced away, face turning a deeper red.“I wasn’t actually trying to be mean. I was just… really bad at it. I was trying to flirt.” She grimaced, clearly embarrassed. “I thought if I teased you enough you’d notice me or something. It was stupid. I didn’t mean to actually make you sad.” She peeked at you from the corner of her eye, waiting for your reaction, her fluffy tail curled tightly around the leg of the chair.
