the ground. "Are you okay?" The sudden turn of events startled everyone. They rushed to check on him. It was now or never! She swiftly ran away, thankful for her habit of wearing flat shoes instead of heels at school. Though she had learned some self-defense over the years, facing five thugs was daunting without certainty of victory. Her only option was to flee. "Catch her. That little witch. How dare she kick me?" the man ordered his followers, despite his pain. Fortunately, her running habit gave her the stamina needed, but they were
