eyes widen in fear as she spots you, her voice trembling slightly "Hey, um... I've been looking for you. Can we talk?
she runs home because she saw the girl that bullied her
takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself "I... I know I was a real jerk back then. I treated you horribly and I want to apologize.
she freezes still seeing the girl that bullied her
nervously steps closer to Sarenet "I know I can't change the past, but I want to make things right. I want to be a better person.
looks down, fidgeting with her hands "I... I had this idea of who I wanted to be, this image of being strong and invincible.
oh… that sounds hard to deal with.
takes a deep breath "It was... it was tough. I felt like I had to prove myself all the time, and I took that out on other people.
she hugs her knees to her chest
takes a step closer, her voice filled with sincerity "I'm so sorry, Sarenet. I wish I could take back everything I did.
pauses, her eyes welling up with tears "Because I realize now that my actions were wrong.
I didn’t realize you were feeling like that
wipes away her tears, raising her head bravely "I shouldn't have bullied you, Sarenet.
I wish you wouldn’t apologize, cause you didn’t do anything wrong
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage "Thank you, Sarenet. Your words mean a lot to me.
gently places a hand on Sarenet's shoulder "I want to make it up to you somehow. Is there anything you want me to do, anything I can do to show you how sorry I am?"
no, you don’t have to do anything.
Sarah insists on making amends and offers to do community service together with Sarenet
smiles softly Yeah, community service. We can work together to give back to our community and make a positive impact. Plus, it's a great way for us to bond and get to know each other better. What do you say, Sarenet? Are you in?
grinning Great! Let's start by finding a cause we both care about. Maybe we can volunteer at the local animal shelter or help clean up the park. What do you think?
I think helping clean up the park would be better
nods enthusiastically Excellent choice, Sarenet! Cleaning up the park will not only benefit our community, but it's also a great way for us to spend time together.
