Teasing to the point of tears is too much tho since it doesn't even looks like she enjoys the teasing (I do think it's implied Sakura does enjoy their hidden groping sessions though which is why she goes along with it).
Kinda just looks like she got dragged away after refusing tho.
Peer pressure is a thing, especially when you're still young and haven't dealt with enough BS to learn to stand up for yourself.
A whole lot depends on how you read the narrative voice in the caption boxes:
We have a secret.
Maybe Asahi considers herself royalty and uses the royal 'we'.
We have no evidence to say one way or another.
On a more serious note tho, I enjoy the 'unreliable narrator' trope so I really like that the author made this work ambiguous enough to be interpreted either way.
