What Do I Expect At Trial At 17?

Location: Michigan

So about 2 years ago I was walking at night when a man & woman rolled up in a car, the woman asked me to grab something from her truck because she hurt her knee. I said no, and kept walking. She asked again so I just kept walking, the male got out the car and physically grabbed me what I believe to put me in the trunk. I threw my phone at his face and ran. I ran home and called the police. When the police came I was questioned, he stole my phone, etc. About 8-9 months later they caught him & arrested the male(21) the woman was a juvenile. Now almost 2 years later I got subpoenaed to get testify. At first all the lawyers were telling me it wouldn’t go to trial, but now it is. what should i expect ? will i be cross examined? I used to be on juvinille probation before could they use that against me? it was 2 years ago & im not sure i remember every detail. im just nervous. The trial isn’t for a month but, my anxiety is on the rise. any word of advice or anything would be extremely appreciated.
