As we walked in the teacher greeted us. "Jin, Lindsey! Welcome back!" She grabbed my wrist, "Ooo, nice bracelet." She let go. "Um, Mr. Mishima wants to see you. Both of you."
Jin and I walked back out just as quickly as we had arrived.
We knocked the door to Jin's grandfather's office. A voice was heard from inside, "Come in, I've been waiting for you." The voice belonged to that of Heihachi Mishima. "The tournament's coming. Are you ready?"
"Yeah, we're ready," my face was serious. I could have lied just to joke but this was too serious of a matter.
"Good." The tournament was only three days away. I was excited.

Since Jin had given me that bracelet, I wanted to do something for him. So after my classes I told Jin that I wanted to catch up with some of the girls but really I just went back to my dorm.
I flipped through the pages of the telephone book searching for a number. When I found what I'd been looking for, I began dialing the phone.
"Um hi, I was wondering….do you deliver?" I paused waiting for an answer from the lady on the other end. "Okay. Do have roses?...Um, red…..Okay, can you have them delivered to high school dorm rooms?...Yeah, I do want to. A dozen red roses to Mishima High, boys dorm number 226….Yeah, I can come by and pay….What number? 276? Okay. Thanks. Bye." I hung up, my plan put into action.
